Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the instructional materials prepared by chemistry teacher candidates (CTCs) in universities with the the multifaceted Rasch rating scale model (MRSM) by peer reviews. Also, it is aimed to determine the awareness of instructional technologies and material design courses among CTCs. The sample of this research group is composed of 8 CTCs who continue the undergraduate program of chemistry education in faculty of education in Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in the 2019-2020 academic years.  These CTCs are enrolled in teaching chemistry course-II and have already take the instructional technologies and material design course. The instructional material preparation skills of CTCs were determined by using a criteria form developed by considering the research project evaluation criteria of TÜBİTAK and the learning outcomes of the course. Results were analyzed according to MRSM. MRSM's surfaces are composed of 8 CTCs, 8 instructional materials and 15 criteria items. According to the results of the data, it was observed that CTCs were separated in terms of severity/leniency behaviour. Also while CTCs were having difficulties related to some criteria, it was observed that they met other criterisa. On the other hand, it was determined that the instructional material preparation skills of CTCs different.
