The aim of this study is to determine whether the attitudes of the teacher profession and the attitudes of the class teachers based on gender, education level, the level of the class being read and the levels of attitude that are being obtained based on the vocational seniority variables are different. The universe of the research conducted for this purpose is 1139 classroom teachers in the Corum district within 2021 2022 academic years.
