The research aimed to examine the teachers' goal orientations for teaching in terms of different variables. The relational survey method was used in the research. The participants of this research consists of 496 teachers. The “Goal Orientations for Teaching Scale” developed by Butler and Shibaz (2014) and adapted into Turkish by Yıldız Saban and Baştuğ (2016) was used as a data collecting tool. The scale consists of four sub-dimensions which are the ability approach, mastery, student relations, and work avoidance. The teachers who volunteered to participate in the research filled out the prepared data collection tool over the internet. While analyzing the data; mean, standard deviation, mode, median, skewness, and kurtosis values of each sub-dimension were calculated. Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationship between sub-dimensions. Independent samples t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine the effect of gender, educational level, years of work experience, branch, and weekly course load on the goal orientations for the teaching of teachers. According to the findings; there was a low linear correlation between student relations, mastery and ability approach goal orientations. A low level of a linear relationship between the ability approach and work avoidance goal orientations has been found. As a result of the difference tests, it was determined that the dimensions of mastery and work avoidance differed according to gender, while the mastery and ability approach differed according to the education level, and ability approach and work avoidance differed according to weekly course load.
