Abstract
The present study is aimed at determining teacher candidate levels of familiarity with the methods, techniques and tools composing the alternative assessment approaches. For this purpose, one of the quantitative research models, the survey method, is used in the study conducted with 185 teacher candidates. As a result of the study, it was found that teacher candidates were generally familiar with drama, concept cartoons, oral presentations, Vee diagrams and crossword puzzles, while they were less familiar with know-want-learn charts, semantic features analysis and flash cards. Based on these findings, it is suggested that teacher candidates should be more informed about the methods, techniques and tools composing the alternative assessment approaches in the related courses in higher education programs.
