This study examined the teaching tendencies of pre-service science teachers in terms of grade level, gender, parental support for the teaching profession, and their intention to become teachers after graduation. The research was conducted with 74 preservice teachers studying in the Science Education Program at Kocaeli University Faculty of Education, using a quantitative survey model. Data were analyzed using an independent samples t-test for gender and one-way ANOVA for other variables. The results showed no significant differences in teaching tendencies regarding gender and post-graduation teaching intention (p>.05), but significant differences were found in terms of grade level and parental support (p<.05). It was determined that thirdyear pre-service teachers had higher teaching tendencies than fourth-year students, and those strongly supported by their parents exhibited higher teaching tendencies overall.
