Özet:

Abstract The present study aims to examine the teaching profession anxiety levels of preservice teachers. The fourth year preservice teachers (n=638) studying at their fourth year spring semester at Abant İzzet Baysal University, Faculty of Education, Bolu - Turkey formed the study group. The quantitative data were collected through Teacher Candidate Anxiety Scale developed by Saban, Korkmaz and Akbaşlı (2004). In order to analyze the quantitative data, t- test, and One-Way ANOVA were used. The findings of the study indicated that the fourth year preservice teachers have low levels of professional anxiety. While the findings of the study revealed significant differences between the teaching profession anxiety levels of preservice teachers and their genders and their departments, no significant differences were observed between the teaching profession anxiety levels of preservice teachers and whether there is a teacher in their families or not.
