ABSTRACT
This study examines the attitudes of prospective elementary teachers towards the teaching profession in relation to their self-concept, emotional intelligence, and adjustment. Recognizing the critical role teachers play in shaping society, it becomes essential to understand how these psychological and emotional factors influence their professional outlook and effectiveness. Using a sample of 200 prospective teachers, the study employs standardized instruments to measure the relationship between these factors and attitudes towards teaching. The results reveal a strong positive correlation between self-concept, emotional intelligence, and adjustment with a favorable attitude toward the teaching profession. These findings underscore the importance of fostering emotional resilience, self-awareness, and adaptability in teacher training programs. By enhancing these aspects, teacher education institutions can better prepare future educators to meet the dynamic demands of the profession, ensuring higher job satisfaction and teaching effectiveness.
