Although this
study has some common aspects with others, it is different in that no other
studies explored the questions why candidates preferred fields other than
teaching and which one they would choose, teaching profession or others, if
they had a chance. On the other hand, it is known that PFSE applicants are
mostly graduates of faculty of science and letters. This study aims to
scrutinize the reasons why the applicants tend to prefer teaching profession as
opposed to current shallow knowledge about the issue. This study and other
similar studies will enable to define the input of teaching profession in terms
of human resources. Research questions leading this study are as follows:
1) What are the
reasons for teacher candidates’ preferences to study in the faculty of science
and letters instead of faculty of education ?
If they had job
opportunities in both fields, which one would they prefer?
