Education Faculties are the most critic and important sources of the system because they educate teachers who are the most crucial elements in Turkish Education System. Attitudes and abilities which teachers gain during learning have a fundamental place for efficiency of the system. Student-teachers also have opinions about teaching profession and education concept which they had before coming to Education Faculties during student years. These opinions form a base for the attitudes and abilities during their teaching profession education. However, students may have had a point of view about education in their background experiences.
