The aim of this study was to investigate pre‐service science teachers’ attitudes toward Project Based Learning (PBL) approach after they participated in a Science, Technology and Society (STS) course, which were carried out based on PBL. STS course was 3 hours per week, during 14 weeks term. The sample of the study consisted of 36 senior pre‐service science teachers. At the end of the term to determine the attitudes of pre‐service teachers toward PBL, the attitude test for PBL have been adapted to Turkish language and applied to the sample. As the result, it was found that pre‐service teachers have a positive attitude about the PBL approach. It has also been determined that pre‐service teachers complained about groups of their peers, who did not contribute enough to the project work, and time pressure and they need more guidance in the process. Given the policy "Teachers tend to teach as they were taught”, courses for pre‐service teacher education should be carried out with active and student‐centered approaches such as PBL. Teaching courses with a similar approach will be more effective than only teaching the theoretical foundations of this approach. More information on how the application was implemented and detailed results will also be presented.
