The universe of the investigation is composed of N=2976 prospective teachers studying at the Faculty of Education at Amasya University in the academic year of 2013-2014. The investigation was conducted on the sampling selected from the universe. The proportional stratified sampling method was used in selecting the sampling of the investigation, and data were collected from n=348 prospective teachers.
