The study was carried out with 65 pre-school teacher candidates (46 of them are from day classes and 19 of them are from evening classes) who were studying in the pre-school education department in the spring term of the 2017¨C2018 academic year. The researcher used phenomenological research method which relied on these data resources: field notes, open-ended questions, videos and photos and semi-structured interviews. It was concluded that pre-school teacher candidates have developed their skills in using the Slowmation technique during the course. The researchers also concluded that the Slowmation technique, despite having some limitations, has a positive effect on pre-school students¡¯ learning process of the science concepts and it could contribute significantly to their skill development process
