Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine classroom teacher candidates’ self-leadership behaviour. The survey method is used in this research. The population of the research consisted of 272 senior students studying at the faculties of education at primary classroom teaching departments at four universities (Agrı Ibrahim Cecen University, Cumhuriyet University, Firat University and Kilis 7 Aralık University) in Turkey. The sample of the research has randomly been chosen and consisted of 262 (83%) students. Statistically a meaningful difference at the 0.05 level is found when distributing the collected data about self-award and cueing, the sub-dimensions of the measure, to universities. The self-leadership behaviour has kept steady at the level of “Generally” and should be advanced to the level of “Always”.

Key words: Self-seadership, self-leadership behaviour, classroom teacher candidates.
