This research aimed at analyzing pre-service teachers' value orientations and empathic tendencies. It was based on a quantitative, descriptive and relational approach, evaluating value orientations and empathic tendencies across variables including gender, subject area, and types of education. Following evaluation, the correlation relationship between value orientations and empathic tendencies was examined. Results indicate significant differentiation in some value dimensions, gender- and education-related differences in empathic tendencies, and a significant but low correlation between overall value orientations and empathic tendencies, with both positive and negative low relationships across dimensions.

It was based on quantitative, descriptive and relational approach. Pre-service teachers' value orientationsand empathic tendencies were evaluated according to the variables including gender, subject area and types of education. Following this evaluation process, the correlation relationship between value orientations and empathic tendencies was examined.

Besides, pre-service teachers' empathic tendencies show significant differences with regard to gender, subject area and types of education variables. Based on gender variable, a significant difference occurs in favor of the female pre-service teachers and a significant difference takes place in favor of those pre-service teachers graduated from nonformal education in respect to types of education variable. The correlation value for pre-service teachers' value orientations and empathic tendencies are significant and low. It was revealed that the relationship between the value orientations and the empathic tendency dimensions are positive and low for some value dimensions and negative and low for the other ones.
