The sample of the study consists of 225 pre-service science teachers.

According to the results of the research; it was determined that pre-service science teachers’ perception of environmental education self-efficacy was moderate level and that the perception levels did not show a significant difference according to the genders except “Instructive Competence Perception” subdimension, and there were significant differences in all subdimensions by class levels.
