The purpose of this study was to explore pre-service chemistry teachers’ competency related to Environmental Education and Sustainable Development. In doing so, the frame was set to focus on three fields of competency: (i) content knowledge, (ii) pedagogical content knowledge, (iii) chemistry literacy. The data gathered from 24 pre-service chemistry teachers at the end of the spring semester of 2016-2017. Essay type questions was used as the source of data. The instrument was created by using the current competences of chemistry teachers constituted by Turkish Ministry of Education in 2011. According to answers of preservice chemistry teachers coding scheme was created. Results of the study revealed that pre-service chemistry teachers have limited level of competency in the basis of Environmental Education and Sustainable Development.
