Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate student-teachers’ narratives about the identification of effective factors in the creation of professional identity. The research approach used in this research was qualitative and type of research was the narrative approach. The data gathering tool was the autobiographical and biographical writtings of student- teachers in the form of Bachelor project. The method of selecting participants was purposeful and desirable items. To this end, 22 undergraduate projects were selected for analysis. At the stage of research implementation, at first, the researchers reviewed the autobiographical writtings of student- teachers. In the stage of reviewing the narratives of the student, the experiences of the student in three periods, the experiences of the pre-university student, the experiences of a student, a prediction about his future teacher, were described, encoded and interpreted in the form of self-referencing and outobiogeography. After extracting the initial codes and naming the axes in the calendar stages, based on the information obtained, the factors that contributed to the development of the professional identity of the concepts arose. Because, in the validation of the concepts derived from the interview from the student teachers, the effect of the pre-university era in building a teacher’s identity, and the four-year period of teacher training,  has influenced by the development of the teacher’s identity. So that even this period, from the perspective of the interviewees, can be explained better than in the pre-university period in terms of curriculum planning, educational facilities, and academic level of instructors.
