Teaching profession is one of the most popular occupations of today regarding becoming a government official or finding a job. Pedagogical formation training programs opened in the last two years and the student demand for the programs opened constitute the most important indication of this situation. After the pedagogical formation training (for one or two periods), if the candidates are appointed, then they will directly start performing the requirements of occupation. Thus, it is an issue of concern at what level the candidates that do not choose Faculty of Education in their undergraduate education are ready for teaching profession.With this research, it is aimed to reveal the occupation anxieties of teacher candidates graduated from Faculty of Science, Faculty of Literature and Faculty of Fine Arts. Data collection means of the research is Teacher Candidate Anxiety Scale that is customized and developed by Saban, Korkmaz and Akbas (2004). Scale consists of three sub-dimensions which are egocentric, duty-centered and student centered anxieties. 105 teacher candidates in Music, Mathematics, Turkish and Science fields that were educated in Nigde University Faculty of Education Pedagogical Formation program in 2013-2014 academic year form the study group of the research. Occupational anxieties of teacher candidates are analyzed regarding field variable and comparisons are made. According to research findings, in occupational anxieties of teacher candidates regarding field variable; in egocentric anxieties in music and mathematics, in duty-centered anxieties significant different is observed music and mathematics with music and science fields. Student centered anxieties do not show any differences according to field variable. Keywords: Pedagogic formation, occupational anxiety, teacher

There is a myriad of career opportunities stemming from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. In addition to careers in corporate settings, teaching is a viable career option for individuals pursuing degrees in STEM disciplines. With national shortages of secondary STEM teachers, efforts to recruit, train, and retain quality STEM teachers is greatly important. Prior to exploring ways to attract potential STEM teacher candidates to pursue teacher training programs, it is important to understand the perceived value that potential recruits place on STEM careers, disciplines, and the teaching profession. The purpose of this study was to explore students’ perceptions of the usefulness of STEM disciplines and their value in supporting students’ careers. A novel statistical method was utilized, combining exploratory-factor analysis, the analysis of variance, generalized estimating equation evaluations under the framework of a generalized linear model, and quantile regression. Using the outputs from each statistical measure, students’ valuation of each STEM discipline and their interest in pursuing teaching as a career option were assessed. Our results indicate a high correlation of liking and perceived usability of the STE disciplines relative to careers. Conversely, our results also display a low correlation of the liking and perceived usability of mathematics relative to future careers. The significance of these diametrically related results suggests the need for promotion of the interrelatedness of mathematics and STE.
