“…In the literature, there are studies carried out with teacher candidates on DBSE applications as well (Bozkurt, 2014;Bozkurt Altan et al, 2016;Capobianco, 2011;Hacıoğlu, 2017;Hacıoğlu, Yamak, & Kavak, 2016;Kınık Topalsan, 2018;Marulcu & Sungur, 2012;Sungur Gül & Marulcu, 2014;Yıldırım, 2018). In these studies, teacher candidates indicated that the design process is based on questioning, makes permanent learning possible and that the big design challenge is motivating (Bozkurt Altan et al, 2016); it was concluded in these studies that DBSE applications develop the scientific creativity and critical thinking (Hacıoğlu, 2017), decision making and scientific process skills of teacher candidates (Bozkurt, 2014) and that although the teacher candidates report some negative views on DBSE, they mostly have positive views and wish to carry out DBSE activities in their lessons (Hacıoğlu et al, 2016).…”
