Abstract
ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the potential correlation between pseudoscientific beliefs and media literacy among pre-service teachers. In this study, a survey method was conducted. The research group consists of 332 pre-service teachers from a state university. Data were collected using two Likert scales, one on media literacy and the other on pseudoscientific beliefs. Data were analysed using descriptive analysis and inferential statistics methods. As a result, although pre-service teachers have high media literacy, their pseudoscientific beliefs are also high. Pseudo-medical beliefs increase significantly as media literacy increases. However, it has no significant correlation with pseudo-physical and pseudo-predictive beliefs. Also, as dependency and confidence in the media increase, all types of pseudoscientific beliefs decrease.
