Abstract
This study aims to develop the “Pedagogical Efficacy Perception Scale” for teacher candidates and to compare scale scores. The sample of this survey model study consists of 310 students studying in a faculty of education. The “Pedagogical Efficacy Perception Scale” developed by the author was used for data collection. Exploratory factor analysis shows that it is a two-factor scale. These factors are “Pedagogical Attitudes” and “Pedagogical Efficacy Perception”. The calculated Pearson correlation coefficients indicate that there are good level correlations between the scores obtained in the sub-scales “Pedagogical Efficacy Perception Scale” and “Pedagogical Attitudes”, and there are high correlations between the scores obtained in the sub-scale “Pedagogical Attitudes” and the total scores and between the scores in the sub-scale “Pedagogical Efficacy Perception” and the total scores. The scores obtained via the measurement tool demonstrate that there is an intergroup difference in sub-dimensions by branch and study period. Key words: Pedagogy, pedagogical qualification, pedagogical attitude, human training, scale.

Pedagogy is a systematic discipline dealing with human education
The general purpose of the present study is to develop the “Pedagogical Efficacy Perception Scale” for measuring the pedagogical formation levels of teacher candidates, and to compare the scores obtained in the said scale by certain demographic variables
The KMO value was used as a criterion for deciding whether or not the chosen sample data were adequate for producing factors
Summary
Pedagogy is a systematic discipline dealing with human education. It is generally used synonymously with teaching. Pedagogy can be described as a practical discipline which selects teaching methods and techniques appropriate for a particular subject and applies them to class, student, and lesson. It refers to a teaching activity which is teacher or student-centered depending on the qualifications of the implementer and where teacher decides what will be taught to whom as well as how, why, and when it will be taught. Teacher candidates need to be capable of implementing methods and techniques in full harmony by knowing the requirements and characteristics of this discipline very well
