摘要：AbstractThis study focused on the analysis about the relationship between pre-service teachers’ EQ levels and epistemological beliefs. The sampling consisted of 209 pre-service teachers studying at Hacettepe University, Faculty of Education. The data were collected through “Epistemological Beliefs Scale” developed by Schommer (1990), which was adapted to Turkish by Deryakulu & Buyukozturk (2002) along with the “Emotional Intelligence Scale” developed by Schutte, Malouff, Hall, Haggerty, Cooper, Golden & Dornheim (1998), which was translated into Turkish by Gocet (2006). The findings were used to evaluate the relationship between pre-service teachers’ EQ levels and epistemological beliefs. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of “EIS” was found to be .81. The reliability coefficient of “EBS” was determined to be .80.
