The purpose of this study is to determine pre-service teachers' attitudes toward use of Vee diagrams in general physics laboratory. The sample of the study consists of 29 (16 girls and 13 boys) freshmen students enrolling to elementary school science education program at one of the universities in Turkey. To gather the data of the study "Attitude Test toward the Use of Vee Diagram" consisting of 18 Likert type questions and "Open-Ended Questionnaire about the Use of Vee Diagram" including 8 open-ended questions are administered after laboratory applications with Vee diagrams. The data from both the quantitative and qualitative part of the study revealed that pre-service teachers have positive attitudes toward the use of vee diagrams in physics laboratory.
