This is a mixed-type study with explanatory sequential design. In the quantitative
phase, 865 prospective teachers in a state university, selected through multi-stage
cluster sampling method, took Media Literacy Skills Scale. In the qualitative
phase, semi-structured interviews were held with five prospective teachers. In data
analysis, CFA, descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test and
descriptive analysis were used. The study reveals that prospective teachers have a
medium level of media literacy skills and their levels differ significantly by their
academic success and teaching programs they attend to but not by gender. The
qualitative analysis also puts fort the participants lack some competencies in media
literacy skills of access, analyzes, evaluate and communicate; and provides
detailed descriptions as to them. This research is expected to serve for curriculum
