Scientific research is the process of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, evaluating, and reporting data in a planned and systematic way in order to find reliable and valid solutions to problems. Anxiety about scientific research directs the research behavior of the individual and causes feelings such as reluctance to do research, insecurity, discomfort, and restlessness. Universities are important institutions where research culture should be introduced to students. In this study it is aimed to determine the research anxiety levels of education faculty students. The participants were 615 students (289 females and 326 males) who are the students at different departments of education faculties from ten universities in Turkey. The data were gathered by using "Research Anxiety Scale". The findings showed that the research anxiety levels of education faculty students are not very high almost moderate level. Also, research anxiety levels of the students explored in some variables. It is found that education faculty students' research anxiety levels did not change according to gender, whether they took a research course, their studying department or grade levels.
