The recent research was conducted to determine the free writing attitudes of pre-service teachers towards writing and to what extent these attitudes were affected by some variables. In the research, teacher candidates’ free writing attitudes were examined in terms of gender, parents' education level, the number of books they read in the last year and department variables. The research is designed according to the quantitative research method. The sample of this research was determined by random sampling method and consists of 142 teacher candidates studying at Amasya University College of Education. In order to collect data within the scope of the research, the "Personal Information Form" prepared by the researcher and the "Free Writing Attitudes Scale of the Faculty of Education Students" developed by Ayrancı and Temiztürk (2017) were applied. In the analysis of the data, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, t-test, one-way variance (one-way ANOVA) and Kruskal Wallis-H test were used. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the attitude towards free writing significantly differs according to the number of books that prospective teachers read in a year and the department they continue their education.
