In this study, it is aimed to determine the possible causes affecting pre-service teachers' awareness of
electromagnetic pollution. For this purpose, data obtained by using Electromagnetic Pollution Awareness
Scale developed by Kenar, Turgut and Gökalp (2013), were analyzed and assessed. This scale was
administered to a total of 476 second- and third-year teacher candidates attending elementary, science, and
social sciences teaching departments in the education faculty. A statistically significant difference is seen,
according to gender, on the perception of electromagnetic pollution dimension which is the second factor,
when looking at the results of the t-test of the electromagnetic perception based on gender. Female teacher
candidates' awareness appears to be higher than that of male teachers. According to departments teacher
candidates study, no significant difference is evident about their thoughts about the awareness of
electromagnetic pollution. A significant difference has been found in the dimension of the effects of
electromagnetic pollution to human health, which is the third factor, according to where those teacher
candidates’ families live. Accordingly, awareness of the teacher candidates whose families live in the
Marmara and Southeastern Anatolian Region about the effects of electromagnetic pollution to human health
is higher than that of the teacher candidates whose families live in other regions. As to where the teacher
candidates live, no significant difference has been observed between their thoughts about the awareness of
the electromagnetic pollution.
