The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship among undergraduate students' academic motivations, their attitudes toward the teaching profession, and their digital literacy abilities. A quantitative correlational research design was employed. 493 teacher candidates participated in the study. Convenient sampling approach, one of the non-random sampling techniques, was utilized while choosing the sample group. The results of the data analysis revealed a favorable correlation among teacher candidates' attitudes toward the teaching profession, their academic motivation, and their levels of digital literacy. Taking precautions to assist teacher candidates' academic motivation, their levels of digital literacy, and their attitudes toward teaching is advised.  \nKeywords: Academic motivation, attitudes, teaching profession, digital literacy.  \nDOI: 10.29329/epasr.2022.461.7  \n1Eyup YÜNKÜL, Assist.

In other words, special attention should be paid to teachers, who are the most valuable parts of the system, and their attitudes and behaviors should be taken into account. Because these attitudes and behaviors affect students' participation and learning (Akkuş, Akkaş, & Yıldırım, 2018; Blazar & Kraft, 2017) . Attitude is defined as an individual's reaction predisposition towards situations, events or things (Temizkan, 2008) .  \nAttitude Towards The Teaching Profession  \nIt is stated that some of the problems that teachers experience in teaching are related to enjoying teaching, respecting and internalizing their professions (Pehlivan, 2008; Tschannen-Moran, 2009) . In other words, attitudes towards the teaching profession are among the factors that directly affect student achievement (Caprara, Barbaranelli, Steca, & Malone, 2006; Senel, Demir, Sertelin, Kilicaslan, & Koksal, 2004) . When teachers' attitudes towards the profession are not positive, the learning climate will also be negatively affected (Küçük Kiliç, 2014; Malm, 2020) . For this reason, ina complex and multifaceted process such as teacher training, it is important that teacher candidates develop positive attitudes towards their profession as well as being well-trained in field knowledge and professional knowledge (Chakraborty & Mondal, 2014; Temizkan, 2008) . In the literature, it is stated that teacher candidates' attitudes towards the profession are high (Alkhateeb, 2013; Aydemir, 2021; Dağ, 2022; Güdek, 2007; Horvath, Goodell, & Kosteas, 2018; İlter, 2009; Kumar, 2016; Musa & Bichi, 2015; Özder, Konedralı, & Zeki, 2010) and low (Hussain, Ali, Khan, Ramzan, & Qadeer, 2011; Kahyaoğlu, Tan, & Kaya, 2013; Osunde & Izevbigie, 2006) . It will be beneficial to continuously determine the attitudes towards the teaching profession, which can predict the in-service professional performance of teacher candidates.  \nAcademic Motivation  \nAcademic motivation is al","cbCaigdgv5qJfLJj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigdgv5qJfLJj","pdf",450857,24,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Attitude Towards The Teaching Profession\n# Academic Motivation\n# Digital Literacy","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study?\",\"answer\":\"To determine the relationship among undergraduate students’ academic motivations, attitudes toward the teaching profession, and digital literacy abilities.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted and how many participants were involved?\",\"answer\":\"A quantitative correlational design was used with 493 teacher candidates selected via convenient sampling.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main findings about the variables?\",\"answer\":\"Teacher candidates’ attitudes toward the teaching profession showed a favorable correlation with their academic motivation and their digital literacy levels.\"}]","The Relationship Between Prospective Teachers’ Digital Literacy Skills, Attitude Towards the Teaching Profession and Academic Motivations | PDF",1792095605]
