Thirty-two teacher candidates participated in a screening-model research design. A word association test served as the data collection tool, and the responses were analyzed using content analysis. Results show perceptions cluster mainly around meanings of fractions, operations involving fractions, and representations of fractions, with additional themes related to numbers, notation, and related topics. Candidates expressed quotient meaning most and did not mention percent meaning. Addition operation and compound-fraction types were most frequent.

The word association test was used as a data collection tool and the obtained data were analyzed by content analysis method. According to the results of the analysis, it is seen that the perceptions of teacher candidates regarding the concept of fraction are mostly concentrated in the themes of meanings of fractions, operations in fractions, and representation of fractions. In addition, the themes of numbers, notation, and other mathematical topics in which it is used are other themes that emerged. It was seen that the teacher candidates expressed the quotient meaning at most, they did not mention the percent meaning. It was seen that they mostly expressed the addition operation in fractions and the type of compound fraction. As a result, it is seen that pre-service teachers' perceptions about the concept of fraction are limited. Pre-service  \nteachers can be given a more comprehensive and relational education on the concept of fraction.
