In the study, Preschool Education Teachers’ level of Using Basic Scientific Process Skills Scale (PETLUBSPSS)” which was determined by the researcher in 2012/2013 school year and whose validity and reliability was confirmed by 471 preschool teachers was used as a data collection tool. The findings show that there is a difference in favor of post test on a meaningful level between pretest and post test point average of experimental group (PETLUBSPSS) (p<0.05).This finding means that there has been a meaningful increase in teachers’ level of using BSPS in field trips through FTSAC. Additionally, the experimental group shows that there is no meaningful differentiation when the pretest and post test points of teachers PETLUBSPSS are compared and the education provided (FTSAC) left a lasting impact (p>0.05).
