摘要：Can we train well-equipped teachers who can achieve expected education
quality in schools in these days? Do teacher candidates feel ready for their profession?
The occupational anxiety levels of pre-service preschool teachers must be observed
regularly in order to let them improve their self-confidence about their profession and
take precautions to foster their self-confidence. The aim of this study is to determine
the occupational anxiety levels of pre-service preschool teachers and to investigate their anxiety levels in terms of teacher candidates’ gender and associate’s degree. A
questionnaire was used as a data collection tool and quantitative approach was
employed in this study. Questionnaires were conducted to 226 4th grade pre-service
preschool teachers in Necmettin Erbakan University, Ahmet Keleşoğlu Education
Faculty, Program of Preschool Education. Data of the study were collected with the
Occupational Anxiety Scale, developed by Cabi & Yalçınalp (2013). Statistical
analysis was performed using SPSS 21.0 and data were analyzed using the percentage,
frequency and Mann Whitney U tests. The study results revealed that the
occupational anxiety levels of pre-service preschool teachers is not very high and they
feel ready to perform their job. The most remarkable finding of the study is that preservice
preschool teachers have very high anxiety levels about finding a position in a
public school in the future.
