SUMMARY

The purpose of this study is to analyse the attitudes of prospective science, elementary school and social sciences teachers who will provide environmental education in elementary and secondary schools in the future towards solid wastes and recycling in terms of various variables. The sample of the study consists of 149 pre-service teachers who are receiving education at the education faculty of a university located in Middle Anatolia Region in Turkey. "Scale of Pre-service Teachers' Attitudes towards Solid Wastes and Recycling", which was developed by Karatekin (2013) and which consists of three dimensions and 33 items was used in this study which was conducted by screening model. As a result of the study, it was revealed that pre-service teachers generally have a positive attitude towards solid wastes and recycling. Besides, there is a difference among the pre-service teachers' attitudes in all three dimensions of the scale with regard to gender and department. Also, the scores of pre-service teachers for the initiative and participation and interest and sensitivity dimensions of the scale vary depending on their behaviours of separating the wastes and throwing them into the related recycle bin and preferring products that are suitable for recycling. It was found out that there is no difference among the participants' scores of attitudes towards solid wastes and recycling in terms of settlement, level of income, educational level of the parents and membership to environmental associations.ÖzetYapilan bu arastirmanin amaci ögretmen olduklarinda ilkokul ve ortaokullarda çevre egitimi verecek olan fen bilgisi, sinif ve sosyal bilgiler ögretmen adaylarinin kati atiklar ve geri dönüsüme yönelik tutumlarinin farkli degiskenler açisindan incelenmesidir.  Arastirmanin örneklemini Türkiye’nin Iç Anadolu Bölgesinde bulunan bir üniversitenin egitim fakültesinde ögrenim gören 149 ögretmen adayi olusturmaktadir. Tarama modelinde gerçeklestirilen arastirmada veri toplama araci olarak Karatekin (2013) tarafindan gelistirilen, üç alt boyutlu ve toplam 33 sorudan olusan “Ögretmen Adaylari Için Kati Atik ve Geri Dönüsüme Yönelik Tutum Ölçegi” kullanilmistir. Arastirma sonucunda ögretmen adaylarinin kati atiklar ve geri dönüsüme yönelik tutumlarinin genel olarak olumlu oldugu sonucuna ulasilmistir. Bununla birlikte ögretmen adaylarinin tutum ölçeginin üç alt boyutunda da tutumlari arasinda cinsiyetlerine ve anabilim dallarina göre farklik bulunmaktadir. Ayrica ögretmen adaylarinin tutum ölçeginin girisim ve katilim ile ilgi ve duyarlilik alt boyutu puanlari adaylarin atiklari ayristirarak ilgili geri dönüsüm kutusuna atma ve geri dönüsüme uygun ürünleri tercih etme davranislarina göre farklilasmaktadir. Arastirmaya katilan ögretmen adaylarinin kati atiklar ve geri dönüsüme yönelik tutum ölçegi alt boyutu puanlari arasinda adaylarin yerlesim birimi, gelir düzeyi, ebeveynlerinin egitim durumu ve çevre kurulusuna üyelik durumlari bakimindan herhangi bir farkliligin olmadigi belirlenmistir.
