In this study, the correlation between 526 prospective teachers’ beliefs about education for sustainable development (ESD) and their perceptions of self-efficacy and abilities to focus on solutions was addressed. This descriptive study found that prospective teachers had strong beliefs about ESD. In terms of the “beliefs about the implementation of sustainable development” and “beliefs about the limitation of sustainable development”, the prospective teachers who are studying at the faculty of education had stronger beliefs than those enrolled in the Pedagogical Formation Certificate Program. In addition, fourth-year prospective teachers and those perceiving themselves as showing good academic performance had stronger beliefs about ESD. Also, participants’ beliefs about ESD were found to be related to their abilities to focus on solutions and their perceptions of self-efficacy. Additionally, our study found that perceptions of self-efficacy significantly predicts the ability to focus on solutions and beliefs about ESD (29%). One of the limitations of our study is that our findings can be generalized only to a limited extent. Furthermore, further research is needed to validate the predictive variables that have arisen. Finally, longitudinal and experimental research that use qualitative analysis techniques is needed to investigate the implications of the results for professional improvement and to find out what sort of sustainable education practices there are in different education levels.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the Pedagogical Formation Certificate Program (PFCP) on prospective teachers’ professional self-efficacy beliefs and attitudes towards the teaching profession. The study was conducted through convergent parallel mixed method design (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2015). In the quantitative phase, one group pretest-posttest design was used. The data relating to prospective teachers’ professional self-efficacy beliefs before and after the PFCP were collected through “Teaching Self-Efficacy Perception Scale” developed by Tschannen-Moran & Hoy (2001) and adapted into Turkish by Çapa, Çakıroğlu & Sarıkaya (2005). “Attitudes towards Teaching Profession Scale”, developed by Çetin (2006), was utilized for exploring prospective teachers’ attitudes towards the teaching profession. In the qualitative phase, the data were collected through open-ended questions. The participants consisted of 150 prospective teachers who attended the PFCP held at Mersin University in the 2014-2015 academic year and who were accessible before and after the PFCP. Quantitative data were analyzed through paired-samples t-test; and deductive qualitative analysis (Patton, 2014) was utilized for the qualitative data. As a result of the quantitative data analysis, there was no significant difference between prospective teachers’ professional self-efficacy beliefs and attitudes towards the teaching profession before and after the PFCP.  After the qualitative data analysis, it was determined that the quantitative and qualitative results of the professional self-efficacy beliefs partially converged, but the quantitative and qualitative results of the attitudes towards the teaching profession diverged.  The possible reasons for these results were discussed in light of the related literature. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı pedagojik formasyon sertifika programı (PFSP)’nın öğretmen adaylarının mesleki öz yeterlik inançlarına ve öğretmenlik mesleğine yönelik tutumlarına etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma karma yöntem araştırma desenlerinden yakınsayan paralel desen (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2015) yaklaşımıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın nicel aşamasında deneysel desenlerden tek grup öntest-sontest deseni kullanılmış, nitel aşamasında ise veriler açık uçlu sorularla toplamıştır. Araştırmanın nicel verilerinin toplanması için çalışma grubuna eğitim öncesi ve sonrasında Tschannen-Moran & Hoy (2001) tarafından geliştirilen, Türkçe’ye uyarlama çalışması Çapa, Çakıroğlu ve Sarıkaya (2005) tarafından yapılan Öğretmen Öz-Yeterlik Algısı Ölçeği ve Çetin (2006) tarafından geliştirilen Öğretmenlik Mesleği Tutum Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Nitel aşamada ise veriler açık uçlu sorular yoluyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunun 2014-2015 eğitim-öğretim yılında Mersin Üniversitesi’nde düzenlenen PFSP’na katılan ve program öncesi ve sonrasında erişilebilen 150 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Nicel verilerin analizinde ilişkili örneklemler için t-testi, nicel verilerin analizinde ise tümdengelimsel nitel analiz (Patton, 2014) kullanılmıştır. Nicel verilerin analizi sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının PFSP’ndan önce ve sonra mesleki öz yeterlik inançları ve mesleğe karşı tutumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır. Nitel verilerin analizinden sonra, nitel sonuçların öğretmen adaylarının mesleki öz yeterlik algılarına ilişkin nicel sonuçları kısmen desteklediği; ancak öğretmen adaylarının mesleğe karşı tutumlarına ilişkin nicel sonuçları desteklemediği belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçların olası nedenleri alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.

The purpose of this research is to reveal the levels of affection for children, teaching motivations and self-efficacy beliefs of the teacher candidates studying in special education, pre-school and primary school teaching departments based on their gender, classroom and academic branches to showcase the correlations between the levels of the teachers’ affection for children, their self-efficacy beliefs and teaching motivations. The study group was determined with the criterion sampling method. 368 teacher candidates participated in this study: 108 from special education department, 136 from pre-school department and 136 from primary school teacher department. The data were collected by means of ‘Barnett Liking Children, Teaching Motivations and Perception of Teacher Self-efficacy Scales’. The data were analyzed using independent group t-tests, one –way analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis. The results show that the teacher candidates from the three departments have a high level of affection for children. Their motivations to teach and self-efficacy beliefs are higher than the average value. It is revealed that there is an average positive correlation between liking children and teacher self-efficacy in using teaching strategies. However, the data results disclosed that the teacher candidates’ self-efficacy beliefs, students’ participation, teaching motivations, and teaching strategies predict their affection for children significantly and positively. Teacher candidates should be enabled to establish direct experiences with the group they shall work with in order to develop the self-efficiency beliefs of them.
