Özet

Climate change is one of the most widespread problems affecting human well-being. Extreme weather events and ecosystem uncertainties also seriously threaten future teachers. However, we know little about the variables associated with teacher candidates’ climate change worry (CCW). Therefore, this study aims to identify the variables that predict CCW. In this study, the survey model was used to determine the variables associated with teacher candidates CCW. A total of 508 teacher candidates (72.4% female and 27.6% male) from Turkey participated in the study. The age range of the teacher candidates was 21 to 24 (M = 21.1, SD = 1.23). Hierarchical regression analysis was used to evaluate the data. According to the results, teacher candidates who earn their living by farming and have a biospheric value orientation experience CCW. Some personality traits also relate to CCW. The results provided insight into the variables related to teacher candidates’ CCW. This situation is important for the support training for teacher candidates. © The Author(s) 2025.
