The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the attitudes of the students studying at the faculty of education towards the teaching profession and their academic self-efficacy and academic motivation levels. The study was carried out according to the relational survey model. The sample of the study consists of education faculty students studying at a foundation university selected in Istanbul in the 2018-2019 academic year.

According to the findings of the research, it was determined that while the attitudes of the education faculty students towards the teaching profession were “very low”, their academic self-efficacy and academic motivation were “low”. It has been determined that there is a positive and moderate relationship between students’ academic self-efficacy and professional attitudes, a positive and high level between their academic competencies and their academic motivation levels, a positive and medium-level significant relationship between professional attitudes and academic motivation levels. It was observed that the students’ professional attitude, academic motivation and academic self-efficacy levels did not differ significantly according to the variables of gender, income level, place of education and grade level.
