Özet
It is known that the success of a science education reform depends considerably on science teachers' knowledge, skills and activities. In accordance with this, the aim of this study is to investigate the proficiency of science teacher candidates in the use of the REACT strategy through their experimental science activities within the scope of context-based learning approach. Within this context, this study was designed in the form of a longitudinal analysis, performances were analysed periodically, and the transformation was pursued. The data obtained from documents by means of a content analysis was presented via graphical instruments through converting it into quantitative data by means of the rubric which was developed by the researchers. According to the longitudinal analysis findings, it was observed that the teacher candidates' performance in utilising the REACT strategy is parallel to the ascending number of activities.
