Özet: A teachers ability to reflect on their practice is an important element of teaching sciences. Developing the ability to be reflective in those studying to become science teachers is a core element of any successful teacher education programme. This study investigated science student teachers attitudes about reflective practice. A total of 206 science student-teachers (68 biology, 49 physics, 56 chemistry and 33 primary science student-teachers) in their initial teacher education course at Dicle University, Turkey, were surveyed using questionnaires. The data were analysed by using correlations (Pearson), t-test and one way ANOVA with SPSS 13.0. The findings suggest that science student-teachers attitudes toward reflective practice change in relation to their subjects and years of study. The study did not find any difference in science student-teachers attitudes toward reflective practice in relation to gender.
