dc.description.abstractGlobal warming is one of the most important problems facing humanity. It is very important to reveal the attitudes of future teachers towards this problem and what they can do about it, because educators have great responsibilities in raising future generations as individuals sensitive to environmental problems. In this context, the data collection tool developed by Herman (2014) and originally called Global Warming Science Attitudes and Actions Survey was adapted into Turkish. In the adaptation of the survey, which includes three different scales, it was attempted to ensure language validity by taking into account the expert opinions. Then, confirmatory factor analyses were applied separately for each scale forming the survey. In the study conducted, with a total of 647 pre-service teachers, a single-factor structure emerged for the first and second scale. In the analyses made for the third scale of the survey, it was seen that the original structure was preserved and it had a five-factor structure. The Cronbach alpha values calculated for the scales that make up the survey are .85 for the first scale and .73 for the second scale. For the third scale, these values ranged from .50 to .71, and the composite reliability values are also presented. It is possible to say that the obtained data collection tool is valid and reliable in determining the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards global warming and their views on taking action.en_US
