“…Since there is a direct relationship between attitude towards the teaching profession and the quality of teaching activities, an emphasis should be given to how attitude changes over time, and how the attitude towards the teaching profession is related to other variables. A positive attitude towards the teaching profession enhances a teacher's performance in the classroom (Kiralp & Bolkan, 2016) and contributes to students' learning motivations (Andronache, Bacos, Bacos, & Macri, 2014). In this regard, studies in the social-psychology revealed the attitude-action relationship (e.g., Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980;Ajzen & Fishbein, 1977;Anderson, 1971;Schuman & Johnson, 1976).…”

As attitude affects teaching efficacy (Kiralp & Bolkan, 2016), it is important to investigate what external factors contribute to or interfere with an individual's attitude towards the profession. Teachers' success in the profession is as equally important as the external variables that affect their attitudes towards the profession.…”

“…Teachers' positive or negative attitudes towards teaching and their perceptions about the prestige of the profession collectively affect their teaching performance. Individuals' attitudes towards their profession determine how they progress in their careers and how they practice in the field (Kiralp & Bolkan, 2016). Therefore, a positive attitude towards teaching is likely to improve job satisfaction and aid one's professional development as a teacher.…”

This study investigates the changes in self-efficacy perceptions, professional self-esteem, and attitudes towards the teaching profession of pre-service information technology teachers in accordance with their academic achievement and career choices. A longitudinal research was conducted over a four-year time period with participation of 40 pre-service teachers. The data were collected through three separate scales at five different data collection points (entrance, freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years) corresponding to their initial states and their states at the end of each academic year. Findings indicated an improvement in terms of attitude towards the teaching profession and teaching selfefficacy through the time period. However, change in professional self-esteem did not follow such a clear pattern. While grade point averages (GPA) did not show significant relationships with attitude, self-efficacy or self-esteem in earlier states, as the participants gained experience, significant relationships arose among GPA, attitude and self-efficacy. Career choices of pre-service teachers were examined under three categories: teaching, coding and design. Preference for teaching was relatively high at the initial state and continuously increased over time. As the participants progressed in the program, their preference for coding and design increased as well. The increase in career choices of preservice teachers accords with the courses in the program.

“…This situation highlights not only increasing the knowledge of teachers but also their professional roles such as healthy and positive attitudes. Therefore, it is considered as necessary for prospective teachers to acquire attitudes and values related to the profession as much as knowledge (Çeliköz & Çetin, 2004;Kıralp & Bolkan, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between classroom teachers' commitment to their profession and professional attitudes, as well as the mediating role that self-efficacy belief plays in this relationship. The relational screening model was chosen as the method in the research. The study group of the research consists of a total of 235 classroom teachers, 188 of whom are female and 47 male, working in various primary schools in Turkey. In the research, attitude towards the teaching profession, dedication to the teaching profession, and teacher self-efficacy belief scales were used as data collection tools. Data were analyzed by correlation and structural equation model analysis. The analyzes show that there are positive and moderately significant relationships between teacher self-efficacy belief and attitude towards the teaching profession, and between commitment to the teaching profession and teacher self-efficacy belief. In addition, the results reveal that there is a highly significant positive relationship between commitment to the teaching profession and attitude towards the teaching profession. On the other hand, the Z value calculated according to the Sobel test equation was found to be 4.64 and it was concluded that self-efficacy belief partially mediated the relationship between professional attitude and commitment to the profession. In order to increase the validity of the significance levels of direct and indirect effects, bootstrapping was performed and the mediating role of self-efficacy belief was supported in the relationship between professional attitude and commitment to the profession.
