This study aims to examine the circumstances of class teachers acquiring their special field qualifications based on their teaching training and their professional experience. The sample of the research in the general scan model is made up of 480 class teachers who are working in 32 primary schools in the central districts of Gaziantep in the 2019-2020 academic year. The research has been developed by researchers as a data collection tool, using the "Class Teaching Special Field Qualifications Self-Evaluation Scale". The data, one-way variance analysis and independent groups were analyzed through the t Test. The research finds that teachers gain special field qualifications with a very professional experience from teaching education. The study also found that the self-evaluation scores for teachers who gain their special field qualifications with teaching education do not differ significantly by gender and age. The self-evaluation points of teachers who indicate that they have gained their special field qualifications with professional experience are not significantly differentiated by gender, but significantly differentiated in favor of those who have high professional experience by age.
