Özet:The main purposes of this study were defined as (1) to examine teacher education students' familiarity and understanding on “sustainable development” term, (2) to define their behaviors and internal locus of control towards sustainable diets, (3) to examine relationship between students’ behavior and internal locus of control pertinent to sustainable diets, and (4) to investigate differences of gender and teacher education programs in behavior and internal locus of control pertinent to sustainable diets. The study was conducted on 556 teacher education students at Middle East Technical University by direct administration strategy in May-June 2017. The results of the present study showed that teacher education students have lack of understanding toward sustainable development. Moreover, the students did not demonstrate usually behaviors toward sustainable diets while they had high internal locus of control on sustainable diet. There was a statistically significant association between internal locus of control and behaviors toward sustainable diets. Furthermore, while female students had significantly higher internal locus of control toward sustainable diets than males, there was not a statistically significant difference in behaviors pertinent to sustainable diets in terms of gender. In addition, students pursuing Elementary Science Education and Early Childhood Education programs exhibited more frequently behaviors toward sustainable diets than Foreign Language Education students. However, internal locus of control pertinent sustainable diets did not differ regarding teacher education programs.
