The purpose of this study is to investigate pre-service teachers’ awareness of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), their exposure-reducing behaviors, and their needs for education about such chemicals. Data were collected from 222 pre-service teachers in early childhood programs at two Korean universities. The results of this study reveal that most pre-service teachers are aware of EDCs, and they have some knowledge and a high level of sensitivity to their negative effects. However, they do not take the active initiative to decrease exposure to these chemicals in their everyday lives. In addition, their class experiences do not significantly affect their awareness of EDCs or influence behaviors that reduce exposure to the chemicals. Thus, they present a high level of educational need regarding EDCs. Based on the findings, we discuss how to provide future early childhood educators with necessary education about EDCs.
