Abstract
This study aims to examine the relationship between pre-service teachers’ individual innovativeness characteristics and their resistance to change. The research was conducted using the relational survey model, and the study group consisted of volunteer pre-service teachers studying at the faculty of education of a university located in the Central Anatolia Region during the 2023–2024 academic year. Data were collected through the individual innovativeness Scale, the Resistance to Change Scale, and a personal information form. According to the findings, 4.4% of the pre-service teachers were identified as innovators, 30.1% as early adopters, 52.6% as early majority, 11.3% as late majority, and 1.7% as laggards. While no significant differences were found in individual innovativeness scores based on gender, academic program, or grade level, significant differences emerged according to whether they had repeated courses and their daily internet usage time. For resistance to change scores, no significant differences were found in terms of gender or internet usage time, whereas statistically significant differences were observed based on academic program and grade level. Finally, the results revealed a moderate, negative, and statistically significant relationship between individual innovativeness and resistance to change.
