This study aims to examine the media literacy levels of pre-service social studies teachers in terms of different variables (gender and having a personal computer). The research data were obtained from 195 pre-service teachers studying at the Department of Social Studies Education at the Faculty of Education of Sakarya University during the 2018-2019 academic year. In the study in which the descriptive survey method was used, the “Media Literacy Level Determination Scale” and the “Personal Information Form” developed by Karataş (2008) were used as the data collection tools. The research data were analyzed using the necessary statistical techniques in the SPSS program. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the media literacy levels of pre-service social studies teachers differed significantly according to the gender variable. However, there were no significant differences in the media literacy levels according to the variable of having a personal computer. In the study, the media literacy levels of pre-service social studies teachers were also found to be high (frequently).
