In this study; the aim is to examine the
ability of science teacher candidates to create, read, understand and interpret
line graphs. The sample of the study consists of 50 students who are studying
in the second year of science education department of Kırıkkale University
Faculty of Education. The pattern of the study is a mixed method including
non-interactive qualitative research, which includes document-based data
collection and analysis. The data were obtained by a simple test results and
interview method. In the conclusion part of the study, for many reasons, it is
seen that students look prejudicial to drawing graphics, lack of laboratory
conditions, their indifference towards laboratories, lack of graphics in
secondary education etc. For many reasons, the result is that the graphics
drawing skills develop very little. The most common shortcomings are;
determining the starting point of the graph, scaling the axes, merging the
values, writing the units of the concepts in the axes and understanding and
interpreting the graphs. Therefore, in this study, it is aimed to provide the
most efficient use of graphical drawing and interpretation which is very important
in the teaching and learning of science courses, recommendations have been made
for developing graphics drawing skills and minimizing problems.
