In the family, parents set an example and guide their children in dealing with problems. At school, the teacher supports the problem-solving skills of her students both with the activities required by the official curriculum and with applications in and outside the classroom. Social studies course offers an important opportunity for students to gain problem-solving skills. Therefore, social studies teachers should be able to help their students effectively and accurately in this regard. For this, teachers themselves must have problem-solving skills. The purpose of this study is to determine the problem solving skills of social studies teacher candidates. The study was conducted with an explanatory design, one of the sub-designs of the mixed research method. In the quantitative dimension of the study, the relational screening model was preferred. Data were collected predominantly on a quantitative basis. The qualitative dimension is designed to explain and interpret the results of the quantitative dimension. The study group of the research is volunteer teacher candidates studying in the social studies teaching department at different universities in Turkey in the 2022-2023 academic year. As data collection tools, Personal Information Form and Problem Solving Inventory were used for the quantitative dimension. For the qualitative dimension, a semi-structured interview form created by the researcher was used. Quantitative data were collected on a voluntary basis by face-to-face and online methods and analyzed with the SPSS program. Qualitative data were collected through interviews and analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. The quantitative results of the research were supported by direct quotations from qualitative data. The research results showed that the problem-solving skills of social studies teacher candidates were high and that this skill differed significantly in various variables and some sub-dimensions of the scale used.

Today's teacher candidates are the teachers who will raise tomorrow's generations. For this reason, researching the perceptions of teacher candidates towards teaching is important in terms of increasing the qualifications of educators of the near future. The results gain importance in terms of determining the current perspective towards the teaching profession, producing solutions to problems, if any, and developing both professional and emotional qualities of teacher candidates in teacher education. The target of this research is to explore the perceptions of social studies teacher candidates about teaching. The research was designed as a phenomenological research within the scope of qualitative research. The participant group of the research consisted of 150 volunteer social studies teacher candidates who continued their education in the spring of the 2021-2022 academic year at the Faculty of Education of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University. Data were collected by qualitative data collection technique through metaphors. In the data collection form prepared researchers, the participants were asked to create metaphors about the concept of teaching and express their reasons. Research data were analyzed by content analysis and descriptive analysis. It was observed that pre-service teachers produced 61 different metaphors regarding the perception of teaching. These metaphors were evaluated under 8 main categories: teaching as a guide, teaching as a trainer, teaching as an emotional commitment, teaching as a source of knowledge, teaching as a source of life, teaching as a valuable profession, teaching as a loss of status, and teaching as self-renewal.
