Abstract: This research was carried out to determine the opinions of science teacher candidates about digital game addiction. For this reason, the phenomenology method which one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The sample of this study consists of 5 science teacher candidates studying at different universities in the 2022-2023 academic year. Criterion sampling method was used when determining the participants. A semi-structured interview form develop by the researcher was used as a data collection tool in the study. The data obtained from the interview form was analyzed using the content analysis method.
