The purpose of this research was to study the state and problems of the pre-service science teacher supervision in Rajabhat universities. The samples were 96 faculty supervisors, 100 school mentors and 335 pre-service science teachers of Rajabhat universities using multi-stage sampling method. The research instruments were the questionnaires asking about state and problems of the pre-service science teacher supervision for 1) school mentors and faculty supervisors and 2) pre-service science teachers. The data were analyzed quantitatively using frequencies, percentages, arithmetic means, standard deviations and qualitatively using content analysis. The research results revealed that most of supervisors supervised pre-service science teachers according to major subjects. The ratio of pre-service science teachers to school mentors was 4 to 1. The ratio of pre-service science teachers to faculty supervisors was 6 to 1. The supervisors were confident in the aspect of knowledge in supervision at a high level and had different steps in supervision. In overall, all pre-service science teachers received the knowledge and skills in science teaching from the school mentors more than the faculty supervisors. More technology was used to support in supervision. In the supervision problems aspects, there were 6 issues which were 1) the supervisors had a lot of work apart from supervision 2) the supervisors had insufficient knowledge of active learning 3) the lack of specific supervision model in science subject 4) the lack of technology media that specifically supports supervision 5) there was no revision of supervision manuals and 6) insufficient allowances for supervision.
