For that reason, self-efficacy believes are of crucial importance in teacher education. This study investigates whether science teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs toward the use of mathematics in science lessons have changed based on gender and class level. To collect the data, Self-efficacy Scale Toward the Use of Mathematics in Science Lessons (FMKO), which was developed by the researchers was administered. The study was qualitative in nature and the data collected from the first and fourth year science education teacher candidates (n=152). The data were then analyzed by using t-tests and variance analyses. Results showed no statistical difference on the scores of males and females but showed a significant increase with respect to the class level.
