Bu çalışmanın amacı yabancı dil öğretmen adaylarının kendilerini geliştirme isteklerini
tespit etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda yabancı dil öğretmen adaylarının mesleki gelişim
istekleri cinsiyet ve bölüm farkları göz önünde bulundurularak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu
araştırmada Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Buca Eğitim Fakültesi İngilizce, Almanca ve Fransızca
Öğretmenliği’nde son sınıfta okuyan 178 öğrenciye uygulanan ölçek sonuçları yorumlanmıştır.

cinsiyete göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı t-testi ile incelenmiş ve gruplar arasındaki fark anlamlı

adaylarının kendilerini geliştirme isteklerinin, Fransızca ve İngilizce öğretmenliğinde okuyan
öğretmen adaylarından düşük olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yabancı Dil öğretmen adaylarının
