The aim of this study is to determine the individual innovativeness perceptions of preschool teacher education students and to display their views on the obstacles to innovation. For this purpose, 32 pre-school teacher education students attending the 2nd and 3rd grades participated in the research designed in the case study pattern. The interview form prepared by the researcher was used to determine the students' views on individual innovativeness. NVivo qualitative data analysis program was used to model the data collected within the scope of the research. As a result of the research, it was determined that preschool teacher education students associate innovation with development, modernity, harmony, technology, creativity and open-mindedness. It was concluded that one-fourth of the students perceived themselves as innovative. In addition, they mentioned the importance of supporting innovation in early childhood, both individually and socially. It was determined that students put forward some factors that may prevent innovation and arising from the environment, traditional education understandings, inequality of opportunity and personality traits. As a result of the research, it is suggested that the courses to be given in the faculties of education should be prepared with the methods and techniques in which the students can come up with new ideas, besides that the development process of the individual innovativeness perception of the students should be supported by promotions or activities to be held.
