dc.description	The study examines biology, chemistry and pre-service science teachers’ ideas about the same concepts used in different courses such as biology and chemistry. Firstly, a pilot study was conducted to reveal what kind of different ideas constructed by the students. Then, a questionnaire consisted of five open-ended questions was prepared and administered to 152 students. Additionally, semi-constructed interviews were made with nine students to get more detailed information about the conceptions. As a result, it was revealed that students constructed different meanings from the same concepts such as radical group, diffusion, osmotic pressure, amphoteric substance, acid and base used in biology and chemistry classes. In the last section of the study, why students constructed different meanings from the same concepts used in different courses were analysed and recommendations were noted to overcome those complications.
