Özet

The purpose of this study is to determine the recognition levels of the hazard symbols of some chemicals of science teacher candidates. The study conducted by survey method and it includes 170 students studying at ESOGU Education Faculty, Department of Science Education in Elementary Education in 2009-2010 academic year. Percentage, values of frequency, arithmetic mean and standard deviation values of the data were calculated and comparisons were made. The results of the study shows that students of Science Teaching cannot recognise the hazard symbols of chemicals, and there is a significant difference between students' recognition level of hazard levels of chemicals and their levels; and there is no significant difference between students' recognition level of hazard symbols of chemicals and gender, interest in chemistry lesson, examining the labels of chemicals and laboratory safety.
