Abstract
Teaching profession has been a profession of interest to all groups in any society since the sophists. In the relevant literature, there are many studies on how the choice of teaching profession as a career is influenced by the personal characteristics of the teacher candidates, their experiences, occupational knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, perceptions and family characteristics (Brookhart and Freeman, 1992). Thus, it is possible to conclude that it would be significant for teacher education institutions to reveal the reasons behind the preferences in terms of the socioeconomic levels, educational backgrounds and attitudes towards the teaching profession of young people (Karagözoğlu, 2009; Çelikten et al., 2005; Orhan and Ok, 2014). In this context, the present study aims to reveal the reasons why individuals choose the teaching profession and their perceptions regarding the teaching profession.
