This study aimed to determine the alienation levels and attitudes of physical education teacher candidates towards the teaching profession and identify the relationship between their alienation levels and their attitudes towards teaching. The study group consisted of 695 teacher candidates studying in physical education and sports teaching departments. The study revealed that alienation levels and attitudes of physical education teacher candidates towards the teaching profession were moderate. Additionally, it was found that alienation levels were important predictors of the attitude levels towards the teaching profession.
