The aim of this study is to find out the prospective preschool teachers’ opinions on the reflective diaries that they evaluated in the “Science Education” class which they took in their undergraduate education. In the research case study was used. The study was conducted with 42 prospective preschool teachers at Kafkas University. Study group was chosen among the prospective teachers who took the Science Education class, and purposeful sampling method was used in the study. Prospective teachers wrote reflective diaries at the end of every course. In order to specify the prospective teachers’ opinions on reflective diaries, questionnaire was used. The questionnaire consisted of 4 main questions prepared in relation to the objective of the study. The questionnaire questioned the prospective teachers’ positive and negative opinions on the usage of reflective diaries as well as their opinions on the usage of reflective diaries in other classes and on the questions in the diaries. The questions were examined by three academics who were experts in teaching science education and were structured in accordance with expert opinions. In order to obtain reliable data from reflective diaries, two hours of education on reflective diaries was given to the prospective teachers. Topics like definition of reflective diaries, possible usage purposes and differences from regular diaries were mentioned. Explanatory and inferential codes were used in order to analyse the qualitative data gathered from the prospective teachers. According to the results of the study, the prospective preschool teachers thought that such diaries were effective instruments not only for self-evaluation but also for the assessment of the course. In addition, they also thought that the reflective diaries contributed to the development of creative ideas and ensured the repetition of the course and that these diaries could be used especially for the applied courses. In this respect, it is understood that reflective diaries can guide the interests of students and be helpful for the development of the self-reliance of students. Considering the findings of the study, it can also be pointed out that reflective diaries are effective tools to enhance the communication between teachers and students.
