The study used a case study design. The sample consisted of 26 pre-service biology teachers. The Study Process Questionnaire developed by Biggs was used to determine the learning approaches of pre-service teachers. Data were collected through interviewsand portfolios. The data obtained were analyzed by descriptive analysis method. Through the use of portfolios, it was found that pre-service teachers improved in questioning what they learned, using time and finding solutions. It was also found that critical thinking skills of pre-service teachers with surface learning approach were at a lowerlevel. It was determined that pre-service teachers with strategic and deep learning approaches differed from pre-service teachers with surface learning approach in terms of establishing relationships between the subjects they learned. The skills of finding a solutionto the problem encountered, which is one of the critical thinking skills of pre-service teachers with deep and strategic learning approach, was developed through the portfolio. It is recommended that teachers should develop instructions and activities suitable for each learning approach by considering learning approaches in developing critical thinking.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Pre-service biology teacher, critical thinking, learning approach, portfolio. |\n| --- |\n| *Corresponding [author.

The constructivist learning approach has taken its place in the Turkish Education System with the program change made throughout the country in 2005- 2006. The vision of \"raising happy citizens of the Republic of Turkey who have adopted Atatürk's principles and reforms, who are equipped with basic democratic values, who have developed research-inquiry, critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills regardless of their individual differences, who are lifelong learners and respectful to their people\" has been adopted (Ministry of  \nNational Education, 2005) . In this direction, it is aimed to raise individuals who are learner-centered, selfdetermining learners instead of passive and nonparticipatory students who receive information directly. In other words, this learning theory expects students to take responsibility for their own learning and to know what, when, how and in what order they will learn. Therefore, inan ongoing process under the control of the learner, the learner uses his/her knowledge to solve all kinds of life problems (Aydın and Demir, 2014; Brooks and Brooks, 1999) . The development and acquisition of critical thinking skills, which are among the 21st-century skills accepted in  \nKır and Çimer 481  \nour country's education system and the world, is important in raising individuals who can keep up with age.  \nCritical thinking is the learner's use of existing knowledge in solving problems in new situations, making decisions, and making critical comments according to established standards(Pintrich et al. , 1991) . Ennis (1985) defined critical thinking as logical and reflective thinking fo","cbCaicf7IORQh2gt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicf7IORQh2gt","pdf",268472,11,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Constructivist learning and critical thinking in education\n## Definitions and dimensions of critical thinking\n## Dispositions, self-regulated learning, and related research","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to explain the effect of portfolio use on the development of critical thinking strategies of pre-service teachers with different learning approaches.\"},{\"question\":\"How were learning approaches and data collected?\",\"answer\":\"Learning approaches were determined using the Study Process Questionnaire developed by Biggs, and data were collected through interviews and portfolios.\"},{\"question\":\"What did the findings show about different learning approaches?\",\"answer\":\"Pre-service teachers improved in questioning what they learned, using time effectively, and finding solutions.
