Abstract (2. Language): 
The first purpose of this study is to examine the cognitive structures of chemistry teacher candidates about gravimetric analysis by using word association test method. The other purpose is to explore the relationship between the teacher candidates’ performances in the the open-tailed examination about gravimetric analysis and the performances in the word association test. The sample of the study included 20 teacher candidates from Chemistry Education Department in GUGEF. Concept networks were constructed by using answer words in word association test. The concept networks indicated that teacher candidates considerably had difficulties in associating some of the concepts in gravimetric analysis to each other. Also, it is conceived that they were successful in linking between a few of the concepts. Moreover, when the scores gained from the examination were correlated with scores from the word association test, pearson correlation coefficient (r=0.71; p<0.05) displayed that a positive and significant correlation existed between them.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Kelime ilişkilendirme test yönteminin fen eğitimindeki kullanımının tanıtılmasına da odaklanan bu çalışmanın birinci amacı gravimetrik analiz hakkında kimya öğretmen adaylarının bilişsel yapılarının kelime ilişkilendirme test yöntemi kullanılarak araştırılmasıdır. Çalışmanın ikinci amacı ise öğretmen adaylarının gravimetrik analize ilişkin açık uçlu sınavdaki başarıları ile kelime ilişkilendirme testindeki başarıları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmanın örneklemini GÜGEF Kimya Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı 2. sınıfta öğrenim gören ve Analitik Kimya dersinde gravimetri konusunu tamamlamış olan öğretmen adaylarından 20 kişi oluşturmaktadır. Gravimetrik analiz konusundaki kelime ilişkilendirme testinden elde edilen cevaplardan hareketle kavram ağları oluşturulmuştur. Kavram ağları öğrencilerin gravimetrik analize ait bazı kavramları ilişkilendirmede güçlükler yaşadıklarını, bazı kavramlar arasındaki ilişkilendirmelerde ise oldukça başarılı olduklarını göstermiştir. Ayrıca öğretmen adaylarının kelime ilişkilendirme testinden aldıkları puanlar ile sınavdan aldıkları puanlar arasında korelasyon analizi yapıldığında pearson korelasyon katsayısı r=0,71 (p<0.05) olarak bulunmuştur. Bu sonuç bize açık uçlu sınav başarıları ile kelime ilişkilendirme testine ait başarıları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişkinin varlığını göstermektedir
