Özet: Since there is disagreement with regard to a single definition of energy in the literature, knowing how a discipline introduces energy, because of the direct effects of teaching conditions on students’ learning, maintains its importance. From this point of view, the objective of this research is to determine the teaching conditions with regard to energy of a discipline in a university in Turkey. In order to achieve this, an institutional analysis was conducted based on the Praxeological Approach. Several important results were obtained from the study such as the fact that the teaching of energy processes at the year 1 level in a Turkish University is performed from a restricted perspective, using an operational approach. The results of this study emphasize the need for an interdisciplinary approach and multiple representations, including conceptual activities as a means of introducing energy concepts. As a general recommendation, it is also recommended that the analysis of the interaction between teaching and learning conditions may be useful for the development of a new approach with regard to energy concepts.
