Data were collected in Fall 2019 semester. In data analysis, descriptive statistics and independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA tests were used. The results of the analysis showed that the career motivation of science teachers is moderate level. In terms of gender, a difference was found in the sub-dimensions of expertise, difficulty, social impact and fallback career. There was a difference in the sub-dimensions of difficulty, social status, social pressure, enhance social equality, social contribution, determining the future of students and previous experiences in terms of school location.
