The study is quantitative research and correlation research was used as a research design. The study group consisting of 200 science teacher candidates was formed by using the convenience sampling method. The data collection tools are Santa Barbara Solids Test, Spatial Ability Self-Report Scale and Science Fiction Self-Efficacy Scale for Science Teacher Candidates. Correlation analysis was performed in the analysis of data and Pearson Correlation for normally distributed data and Spearman Correlation for non-normally distributed data was used. As a result of analyzes, for science fiction candidates it was concluded that there is a moderately positive and significant relationship between spatial ability and spatial ability self-report, a moderately positive significant relationship between science fiction selfefficacy and spatial ability self-report, and a weak positive significant relationship between science fiction self-efficacy and spatial abilities. According to the findings, it was concluded that science teacher candidates make a consistent self-assessment in terms of their spatial ability. Moreover, it has been determined that some improvement in spatial ability can be achieved by using science fiction as a tool to develop spatial ability.  \nKey words: science education, science fiction, science teacher candidate, spatial ability, survey model  \n1. Introduction  \nThe universe has secrets that mankind is trying to discover. To discover the secrets of the universe, some scientific studies are being done. (Karaçam, 2018, p. 24) . Therefore, scientific studies are very important at our age. The importance of scientific studies makes science education come to the fore. With science education, people can use science effectively in their daily lives (Dragoş & Mih, 2015, p. 167) . Moreover, individuals with science education can comment on technological studies. Science education is necessary for individuals to keep up with our age of great technological developments (Hançer et al., 2003, p. 81-82) .  \nIn many studies, various goals of science education have been included. One of these goals of science education is improving students' scientific knowledge and skills (Zhou, 2012, p. 109) . Furthermore, with science education, students can evaluate the world with a scientific attitude (Longbottom & Butler, 1999, p. 473) . In a report named “Science Education in Europe: Critical Reflections”, it is recommended that the aim of scientific education in European Union should be teaching how to do scientific studies to students (Osborne & Dillon, 2008, p. 8) . It is possible to diversify the goals of science education. However, when it is necessary to gather all the goals of science education under a single concept, the concept of “scientific literacy” is encountered. According to Osborne, the most important thing for science education is to educate science literate individuals (2007, p. 173) .  \nThe concept of scientific literacy has been used since the 1940s and has changed in terms of content until it reaches today (Holton, 1999, p. 181) . Nowadays, scientific literacy is defined as “the ability to engage with science-related issues, and with the ideas of science, as a reflective citizen” for its accepted form in our age (OECD, 2017, p. 24) . Scientific literacy has evolved from memorizing scientific knowledge to interpreting how scientific knowledge will affect society (Valladares, 2021, p.  \n558) . In other words, memorizing scientific concepts is not enough for scientific literacy. Thus, rotebased methods and techniques used in the past for science teaching are not accepted anymore. Instead, methods and techniques that allow ","cbCaidt6rmSI8JG1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidt6rmSI8JG1","pdf",312218,13,"English","# Introduction\n## Scientific literacy and science education goals\n## Methods for effective science teaching\n## Intelligence theories and spatial intelligence","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To examine how science fiction self-efficacy relates to the spatial ability of science teacher candidates.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and what tools were used?\",\"answer\":\"A quantitative correlation design was used with data from 200 candidates, collected using the Santa Barbara Solids Test, a spatial ability self-report scale, and a science fiction self-efficacy scale.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the key findings about these relationships?\",\"answer\":\"Moderate positive significant correlations were found between spatial ability and spatial self-report, and between science fiction self-efficacy and spatial self-report; a weak positive significant correlation was found between science fiction self-efficacy and spatial abilities.\"}]","EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SCIENCE FICTION SELF-EFFICACY AND SPATIAL ABILITY OF SCIENCE TEACHER CANDIDATES | PDF",1792064860,33]
