Summary
Teachers are those expected to change positively the behaviours in life in the desirable direction and to be a model through their personalities and behaviours. Teacher training has been carried out in many different schools in Turkey since 1923, which has affected the expectations from the teachers. Teacher training institutions were Educational Institutions before 1982, but they were trasformed into educational faculties, and affiliated to the universities in 1982. All this work is related to the teacher training system and continues today. Higher Education (HEC) allowed the Pedagogical Formation Education Certificate Program (PFECP), which enables the graduates from Educational Faculties as well as other faculties to be teacher. This situation can be regarded as the indicator that the problems of teacher training and the profession of teaching have been going on
