This study aims to study the attitudes of students towards the teaching profession and the perceptions of teaching self-sufficiency in all the resources that teachers. The fact that there is no research in which all the teachers training units are taken to work on these topics has been the main source of motivation for this study. The research was attended by 786 teachers candidates who studied in a state university’s educational faculty, the Faculty of Theology, the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports (BESYO), the Faculty of Sciences-Literature and pedagogical formation training programs. The data collection used the attitude towards the teaching profession developed by Çetin (2006) and the teacher self-quality scales adapted to Turkey by Baloğlu and Karadağ (2008). The results of the analyses have shown that the attitude towards the teaching profession in BESYO, while the perception of the teaching self-sufficiency in the teaching faculty, the teaching candidates in the teaching faculty have a significantly lower score than the candidates in all other units. The results of analysis using demographic variables found in the application form were also discussed along with the results in literature.
