Abstract

The research is in relational screening model and was carried out with 282 teachers working in secondary schools in Nevşehir province. The data in the study were obtained with the "Lifelong Learning Scale" developed by Wielkiewicz and Meuwissen (2014) and adapted into Turkish by Engin, Kör and Erbay (2017) and the "Professional Development Self-Efficacy Scale of Teachers" developed by Yenen and Kılınç (2021). As a result of the research, it was determined that teachers' lifelong learning tendencies (X= 4.02) and professional development self-efficacy perceptions (X= 3.87) were at a good level. In addition, it was determined that there was a moderately significant positive correlation between teachers' lifelong learning tendencies and their professional development self-efficacy perceptions (r= .56).
