Abstract (2. Language): 
The main purpose of this study was to examine early childhood education teachers’ attitudes toward teaching, and their relationship to internal-external locus of control and sociotropy and autonomy orientations. The participants in this study were limited to 180 undergraduate students enrolled in early childhood education in three different universities in Ankara, Turkey. The results showed that the participants had fairly high positive attitudes toward teaching. On the other hand, despite these high positive attitudes, almost half of the participants indicated that their future plans did not include being involved with early childhood education. In general, the demographic characteristics were not significantly related to these attitudes. Attitude toward teaching was negatively related to overall external locus of control and it was not related to internal locus of control at a significant level. In relation to sub-factors, belief in chance and meaninglessness of effort also showed a negative relationship with attitude toward teaching. Attitude toward teaching was not significantly related to either of sociotropy or autonomy orientations. However, when computing correlations with the sub-scales of the Sociotropy and Autonomy Scale, only attitude toward teaching was found negatively correlated with concern about disapproval subscale.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu arastırmanın amacı okul öncesi ögretmen adaylarının ögretmenlik meslegine iliskin tutumları, içseldıssal kontrol odagı yönelimleri ve demografik özellikleri arasındaki iliskileri incelemektir. Veriler, Ankara’daki üç farklı üniversitenin okul öncesi egitim bölümlerinde lisans egitimi almakta olan toplam 180 ögrenciden toplanmıstır. Verilerin analizi, katılımcıların ögretmenlik meslegine iliskin olumlu tutumlarının yüksek oldugunu, ancak bu duruma ragmen, bu katılımcılarının yaklasık olarak yarısının ilerisi için planları söz konusuyken okul öncesiyle ilgili herhangi bir iste çalismayı düsünmediklerini göstermistir. Genel olarak ele alındıgında, demografik özellikler ve tutumlar arasında anlamlı iliskiler bulunmamıstır. Ögretmenlik meslegine iliskin tutumlar ve genel dıssal kontrol odagı arasında olumsuz iliski tesbit edilmisken, tutumlar ve içsel kontrol yönelimlerl arasında anlamlı bir düzeyde iliski saptanmamıstır. Kontrol odagı ölçeginin alt fakörlerinden olan, sansa inanma ve çabalamanın anlamsızlıgı boyutları ise ögretmenlik meslegine iliskin tutumlarla olumsuz iliskiye sahiptirler. Sosyotropi ve otonomi yönelimlerinin her ikisi de ögretmenlik meslegine iliskin tutumlarla anlamlı düzeyde iliskiler göstermemislerdir. Ancak, bu ölçegin alt faktörleri analiz edildiginde, tutumlarla onaylanmama kaygısı alt ölçegi arasında olumsuz bir iliski saptanmıstır.
