Abstract :The aim of this study is to examine the global literacy skills of Generation Z pre-service teachers in the context of a globalizing world, considering various variables. The research was designed using a quantitative research model, and the impact of independent variables on global literacy skills was analyzed through various statistical tests.Data were collected from 388 pre-service teachers, selected through convenience sampling, using the Global Literacy Scale. The collected data were analyzed using independent samples t-tests and ANOVA. The analysis revealed a significant difference in global literacy levels between pre-service teachers of Turkish Language Teaching and Primary School Teaching, with the former demonstrating higher levels of global literacy. Other notable findings indicate that pre-service teachers who wish to live abroad for an extended period, follow global news on social media, and track multiple global news websites tend to have higher global literacy levels. Based on these results, it is recommended that global awareness, global citizenship, and world citizenship be incorporated more extensively into curricula. Additionally, considering that Generation Z pre-service teachers possess advanced digital skills, providing them with diverse digital experiences is suggested to further enhance their global literacy.
