The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between pre-service teachers' e-learning readiness and their lifelong learning tendencies. The population of the correlational survey model research is pre-service teachers studying at the Faculty of Education in a university in Turkey in the 2021-2022 academic year. The sample of the study consisted of 274 pre-service teachers who volunteered to participate in the study. The research data were collected with the "E-Learning Readiness Scale of University Students" developed by Yurdugül and Demir (2017) and the "Lifelong Learning Disposition Scale" developed by Gür-Erdoğan and Arsal (2016). The data were analyzed with a computer-aided statistical program. In this context, evaluations were made regarding some variables. Accordingly, in both e-learning readiness and lifelong learning disposition scores, a significant difference was determined in favor of pre-service teachers who continued their education in the 3rd and 4th grades and had a personal computer. In addition, a moderate and positive significant relationship was determined between the total score of e-learning readiness and the total score of lifelong learning dispositions of pre-service teachers.
