Abstract
In particular, it is of great importance that teacher candidates are trained to develop awareness of ecology and toprotect ecological systems. Because they are the ones who will be educate future generations. Ecology is generally aconceptual field. In this study, it was aimed to determine the conceptual structures related to ecology of science teachercandidates at cognitive level. The study is a qualitative research carried out by the screening model. The study wascarried out with the participation of 127 candidates’ science teachers. In this study, a word association test (WAT)was used to determine the cognitive structures of science teacher candidates related to “ecology”. Content analysisand descriptive analysis methods were used in the analysis of data. In this data, the frequency table has been formed.Based on the frequency tables prepared according to teacher candidates' responses to WAT, concept networks relatedto ecology have been established. In the preparation of concept networks, cut point technique was used. When welook at the frequency table, it was observed that the key words that teacher candidates associate most with ecologyare living places, functional properties of ecology and biotic factors of ecosystems in ecology. The sentences ofteacher candidates related to ecology are selected and categorized according to the concepts they contain. When thesentences of teacher candidates related to ecology are examined, it is seen that correct descriptions are found but inmany of them there is incomplete information or concept confusion.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
