Abstract

Professional values are the general qualities that are adopted by the members of a profession, accepted as a principle-rule, and protected. Professional values, which are the basis of a profession and define the profession, are formed by the reflection and expansion of individual values. New comers to the profession act on the existing Professional values. They do not try to change the existing situation. However, as their Professional experience progresses, the different situations and events they experience can enable them to establish a relationship between their individual experiences and Professional values. In this way, they can develop their own value system. Teaching profession is one of the oldest professions. The universal and social values of the teaching profession are given importance in all societies. To the extent that pre-service teachers, who must be the bearers of these values, internalize these values, their commitment to the profession increases.
