ABSTRACT
This study examines the attitudes of prospective elementary teachers toward the teaching profession, with a focus on the role of self-concept, emotional intelligence, and adjustment. The research investigates how these psychological attributes influence pre-service teachers’ professional outlook and willingness to commit to teaching. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 200 student teachers enrolled in teacher education programs. Findings suggest that higher levels of emotional intelligence, positive self-concept, and adaptability are associated with more favorable attitudes toward the teaching profession. Implications for teacher education programs are discussed.
