Özet:The purpose of this study is to examine Tukish pre-service teachers perceptions about global versus local environmental issues and determine gender and major effect on their perceptions of global and local environmental issues. The information will be collected from Elementary Education pre-service teachers from Middle East Technical University. Their concerns and attitudes toward 9 global and 5 local environmental issues will be measured by using a survey questionnaire. The questionnaire has been adopted from the one originally used by Duan and Fortner (2005). The local issues were selected according to report about the major environmental problems declared by the Ministry of Environment and Foresty of Turkey and the global issues were kept same as the original questionnaire. The results of the study were analysed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that elementary education pre-service teachers mostly gave more importance to global environmental issues; females had higher attitudes and concerns about environmental issues than males and Early Childhood Education students have higher attitudes and concerns for environmental issues than students from departments of Elementary Science Education and Elementary Mathematics Education. In the stage of preparing environmental education courses as a must course for the faculty of education students in Turkey, the outcome of the study is expected to propose an insight for environmental education for the future teachers.
