In Turkey, the need of trained teacher is met by
two sources: faculties of education and pedagogical formation certificate
programs. It has been expected that prospective teachers, who are one of the
most important parts of education, have low occupational anxiety towards this
profession. But prospective teacher’s emotions and perceptions are changing so
rapidly due to recent developments in technology as well as changes in social
and economic structures of the societies. In that reason, teacher certificate
program students’ occupational anxiety is very important. This research in
general aims to determine the relationship between teacher candidates’
occupational anxiety levels who are taking teacher certificate. This
qualitative study used a descriptive survey model of data collection.
Participants responded to a survey developed by the researchers and findings
were presented descriptively. 500 teacher candidates participated in this
study. The participants were enrolled in the teacher certificate program at the
Faculty of Education at Ondokuz Mayıs University in the 2015-2016 academic
years. The “Occupational Anxiety Scale for Prospective Teachers” was used as the
data collection tools. For independent groups along with the descriptive
statistics, inferential statistics like t-test, one way anova and scheffe test
were used. The study illustrated that male students’ occupational anxiety
scores are higher than female students. The students’ occupational anxieties
that perceive as inadequate socio-economic level are higher than others. That
this research is carried out only in Ondokuz Mayıs University Faculty of
Education is a limitation about generalization of results. In the future, it
will be more useful to carry out similar research on larger sample groups which
involve pedagogical formations programs in different universities.
