Abstract | Aim of the study is to evaluate science teacher candidates' behaviour of energy saving intention among sustainable behaviours within the frame of the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The study was conducted with 1947 teacher candidates studying in six geographical regions of Turkey (Central Anatolia Region, Black Sea Region, Aegean Region, Marmara Region, Mediterranean Region and Eastern Anatolia Region) in the spring semester of 2015-2016 academic year. Correlational survey model was used in the study. Within the scope of the research, the Energy Saving Scale (ESS) was developed in order to determine the factors and beliefs affecting the sustainable Behaviours of science teacher candidates, in pursuant of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and by taking into account the scale development steps. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the dimensions of the Energy Saving Scale (N = 1947) varies between 0.918 and 0.952. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient for the entire Energy Saving Scale is 0.944. The results of the research, indicated that science teacher candidates' attitudes towards energy saving Behaviour are low and the "Subjective Norm" is effective in explaining the "Intention towards Behaviour" and the "Intention towards Behaviour" is most influenced by the factor of the "Perceived Behavioural Control".
