An immense body of literature on astronomy studies has provided evidence that individuals perceive the lunar phases concept as difficult.

This paper aims to explore pre-service science teachers' construction process of their explanations regarding lunar phases through clinical interviews. The data were obtained from fourteen pre-service science teachers and analyzed, identifying their nodes and dynamic mental constructs. The results indicated that most pre-service science teachers did not organize their nodes in a manner consistent with normative scientific explanations. In addition, pre-service science teachers changed their dynamic mental constructs while explaining different lunar phases, utilizing different media such as drawing and three-dimensional models, and responding
