It has been done over the students of The Turkish Language Teaching Department of Atatürk Faculty of Education of Marmara University. To evaluate all the data gathered from 310 prospective teachers, Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U Tests have been used. It can be said that the agents of the experiments are mostly between the 18 and 21 ages and that nearly half of them are graduates of Anatolian High Schools of Teaching. In addition, they share the same rate of delivery in terms of gender. The data gained through this research are evaluated in respect to the approaches of the prospective teachers of Turkish language to teaching profession and their relations with different kinds of variables. This research has proved that Turkish prospective teachers have considered teaching profession very positively and that those who had preferred this profession as the first alternative regard it as their ideal and also that female students find teaching profession as the most appropriate one for them.
