It was believed that the planning of the study as case study would be more appropriate since it would suggest the views of the science teacher candidates on obesity in a detailed way. It was done in 2009-2010 academic year. 28 teacher candidates who were at third grade at a very big university in Istanbul participated in this study. It was also interviewed with 3 teacher candidates randomly selected. Study data were gathered by using 10 open ended questions prepared by the researchers and 4 interview questions. Whereas the data obtained from the open ended questions were assessed by using content analysis that is among the qualitative research data analysis methods, the data obtained from interview questions were interpreted by tabularising. According to some data obtained from the study, it was identified that the teacher candidates generally described obesity as overweightness, and aimed at teaching healthy and balanced nutrition to prevent it. It was observed that teacher candidates, in order to prevent obesity, thought about making informative meetings with families, and making the students comprehend the importance of obesity by showing them some case studies. In accordance with the data obtained from the study, some proposals were put forth about this issue.Fatma ÖNEN ÖZTÜRKSibel DEMİRFatma ŞAHİNFırat Universityarticleobesityscience educationteacher candSocial SciencesHSocial sciences (General)H1-99DEENFRTRJournal of Academic Social Science Studies , Vol 7, Iss 27, Pp 363-378 (2019)
