As shown in Table 7, as a result of the independent group t test performed to determine whether
teaching profession attitude scale sub-dimension scores differ or not in terms of faculty, it was found that
while pre-service mathematics teachers who are graduates-to-be of the program of Primary Mathematics
Education had higher mean scores than the graduates of the Faculty of Science and Letters who take
teaching formation courses in the sub-dimension of harmony, the difference in other sub-dimensions and the
total difference were not found to be statistically meaningful. According to these results, it can be concluded
that pre-service teachers in both groups have similar attitudes towards the profession of teaching. The fact
that both groups have taken pre-service teacher training might have led to this finding. However, the
difference in favor of the graduates of the Education faculty might be due to the fact that the four-year
training received by the members of this group influences harmony positively. As stated by Kağıtçıbaşı
(2013), individuals are not born with attitudes, they learn atttudes later. Although cognitive, affective, and
behavioral components do not all have to be on the basis of the formation of an attitude, an established
attitude has a three-dimensional formation (Chaiken, 1993; cited in Kağıtçıbaşı 2013). Therefore, it is likely
that teacher training activities which encompass cognitive, affective, and behavioral components have
changed pre-service teachers’ attitudes
