Abstract
In this large-scale study, the background characteristics and daily habits of those currently teaching1730 primary education teachers in Turkey were profiled in three dimensions: teachers‟ educational background, job-related variables, and professional development activities. The findings showed that 19.3% of teachers graduated from departments other than education departments. In relation to job-related variables, the number of teachers and students in schools and the average number of students in classes show variety. The results also indicated that although 11.3% of teachers did not participated in any training programs, the rest mostly participated in training programs on teaching professionalism and technology use in education. Furthermore, teachers reported that their in-service training needs arose because of the changes and innovations in technology, the educational reforms and changes, and the changes in examination and transition systems.
