The aim of this paper is to investigate the innovation perceptions of teacher candidates. The sample comprises of 189 second year students in the science, mathematics and social sciences teaching departments.  The data collection tools are the Turkish version of the Individual Innovativeness Scale (IIS), and the Domestic Factors Inventory. Regression analysis is the main data analysis techniques. Results yielded a regression model in which the most powerful determinant for innovation perception emerged as openness to experience.
