In addition, according to regression analysis, it was seen that the model was significant as a whole and teachers’ teaching-learning conceptions and pedagogical competence perceptions were significantly associated. It was understood that the teachers’ teaching-learning conceptions explained 42% of their pedagogical competence perceptions. According to the findings of the research, it was observed that teachers mostly had traditional teaching-learning conceptions and there was no significant relationship between their traditional teaching-learning conceptions and their pedagogical competence perceptions except the first dimension. It was found that there was a significantly positive relationship between their teaching-learning conceptions and their pedagogical competence perceptions among teachers who have constructivist teaching-learning conception. According to these findings, teachers’ pedagogical competence perception levels decrease as their teaching-learning conceptions move towards the traditional conceptions, and pedagogical competence perception levels increases as their teaching-learning conceptions move towards constructivism. When all these results are taken into consideration, teachers should be educated in accordance with the constructivist teaching-learning conception in line with their contemporary educational philosophies, models and conceptions.
