This research designed as a case study was carried out with 25 beginning teachers who completed induction program in a different province and began teaching profession in Van province. Descriptive analysis method was applied to the data obtained from the interviews with the teachers. As a result of the research, it has been determined that beginning teachers have negative views on the application of completing induction program in a different province besides having some advantages. In addition, it has been concluded that there are significant differences between assigned province/school and the province/school where induction program was completed in terms of physical environment and facilities, educational material, socio-cultural structure, student profile and these differences cause beginning teachers to experience adaptation problems. In this case; it may be suggested that induction programs should be initiated in assigned province so that adaptation problems can be reduced, but this process may be carried out in a different school where they are assigned if experienced mentor teachers are not available UR - https://doi.org/10.1501/Egifak_0000001401 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/508566 ER -
