Abstract (2. Language): 
This research has been conducted on 322 prospective teachers of science, mathematics and primary education program at Amasya Faculty of Education in 2004-2005 academic years. This study is a kind of descriptive study done by survey model. The data of the research have been gathered with logical thinking skills test towards chemistry and attitudes scale towards chemistry course. In this study, it has been done comparison between groups in terms of prospective teachers’ sex, departments the types of secondary education from which they have graduation and courses in which they are successful. The results showed that there isn’t a significant difference among prospective teachers’ logical thinking skills, but there is a significant difference among their attitudes. It has been made certain suggestion based on findings obtained and conclusion drawn from the present research.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma, 2004-2005 öğretim yılında Amasya Eğitim Fakültesinde öğrenim gören Fen Bilgisi, Matematik ve Sınıf Öğretmenliği adayları üzerinde tarama yöntemine göre yapılmıştır. Araştırmaya üç farklı anabilim dalından 322 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Çalışmada Mantıksal Düşünme Beceri Testi ile Kimya Dersine Yönelik Tutum ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında öğretmen adaylarının cinsiyetleri, anabilim dalları, mezun oldukları ortaöğretim türleri ve başarılı oldukları derslere göre gruplar arası karşılaştırmalar yapılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının mantıksal düşünme becerileri arasında anlamlı düzeyde farklılıklar olduğu belirlenirken tutum düzeyleri arasında anlamlı farklılık olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgulardan hareketle çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
