The aim of this study was to investigate pre-service physical education teachers’ selfesteems and their attitudes toward teaching profession according to some variables and to determine the relationship between their self-esteems and the attitudes. 469 pre-service teachers studying at the physical education and sport teaching departments from three different universities took part in the study voluntarily. ‘Coopersmith’s Self-Esteem Inventory’ and ‘Attitude Scale toward Teaching Profession’ were used to collect data as the instruments in the study. The findings of the study showed that there were significant differences between pre-service physical education teachers’ their self-esteems and their grades, education levels of parents, academic success levels and income levels and between their attitudes toward teaching profession and their academic success levels. Also, a low but positive correlation was observed between pre-service physical education teachers’ self-esteems and their attitudes toward teaching profession
