The aim of this study is to explore teachers’ attitudes toward students by examining various variables. Designed as a descriptive study, it employs a survey model. Data were collected from 373 teachers working in schools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education, using a convenience sampling method. Participants completed the survey via Google Forms. The data collection tool was the “Teachers’ Attitude Scale Toward Students,” developed by Gelişli, Kazykhankyzy, and Yüreğilli. First, a confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to validate the scale’s twodimensional structure. Based on the results obtained from the scale, teachers’ attitudes toward students were analyzed. Findings show that teachers generally exhibit positive attitudes toward students. There were no significant differences in overall scores or sub-dimensions based on gender or age. However, when analyzed by teaching subject, classroom teachers demonstrated significantly more positive attitudes than subject-specific teachers. Similarly, primary school teachers were found to hold more positive attitudes compared to middle and high school teachers. No significant differences were observed based on seniority, either in overall scores or sub-dimensions. In light of the findings, it is recommended that in-service training be provided to secondary school teachers to foster the development of more positive attitudes toward students.
