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 Relationship

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between preservice teachers' attitudes towards the teaching profession (ATP) and teachers' self-efficacy beliefs (TSEB). In particular, the study aimed to understand the effect of preservice teachers' self-efficacy beliefs (TSEB), age, gender and discipline on their attitudes towards the teaching profession (ATP). The study was conducted with a correlational research design. Sample for the study comprised 157 preservice teachers attending a public university. Attitude Scale towards the Profession of Teaching (ASPT) and the Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) were used as tools for data collection. The data were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression analysis techniques. The results showed that there were positive and significant relations between the variables selected for the study. Regression analysis revealed that preservice teachers' selfefficacy beliefs (TSEB) have a positive and significant effect on their attitudes towards teaching profession (ATP).

The Relationship

The aim of this research is to examine the extent of pre-service preschool teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and elicit the relationship between their sub-dimensions of life goals, and various variables. For this purpose, data were collected from a total of 465 university students. The data on the dependent variables were obtained using Life Goal Scale. The data on the independent variables were obtained using the Pre-school Teachers Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale. The study employed one of the general survey models, the relational survey model. The participant teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and life goals are analysed according to some variables and the relationships between them are investigated. In the analysis of data, the Simple Linear Regression Analysis was used. According to the research findings, it was found that the relation between teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs and personal development and social responsibility sub-dimensions of Life Goals Scale was significant at p < 0.05. Keywords: Pre-service preschool teachers, teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs, life goals.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between preschool teachers’ attitudes toward science teaching and self-efficacy beliefs and to examine them in terms of various variables. The research was conducted in the years 2018–2019 using a survey. The study included 113 female and eight male preschool teachers who worked in state or private schools in Turkey. All participated voluntarily. In this study, the “Scale of Attitudes toward Science Teaching” (AST) and “Science Teaching Self-Efficacy Beliefs Scale” (SEB) were used. Both scales used five-point Likert type items. After the scales were applied, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 36 randomly selected teachers and five open-ended questions developed by the researchers were asked. In the light of the findings obtained from the study, it was observed that pre-school teachers’ attitudes toward science teaching and science self-efficacy beliefs did not differ according to gender and professional experience. In addition, there was a positive relationship between teachers’ scores obtained from the AST and SEB, that is, science attitudes and science self-efficacy beliefs were related positively. In other words, teachers who have positive attitude toward science had high self-efficacy beliefs. Learning environments should be prepared to conduct science activities effectively in accordance with different methods and techniques.
