The way that the students use the course books is as worth investigating as designing which should include learning strategies. Behaviors and thoughts that the learner performs during the learning process, which are expected to affect his/her coding process could be described as learning strategies. The kinds of them, rehearsal, organizing, comprehensive and affective strategies are preferred by the students in various circumstances.

In line with the purposes of the study, the textbooks belonging to 197 prospective teachers were analyzed.
