 Giriş: Özel eğitim öğretmenliği, son yıllarda sıklıkla tercih edilen populer bir meslek haline gelmiştir. Bu mesleğin neden tercih edildiği ise önemli bir merak konusu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacı, özel eğitim bölume yerleşen öğretmen adaylarının meslek tercih nedenlerinin göruşlere dayalı olarak incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Bu araştırmada nitel araştırma modellerinden olgubilim fenomenoloji modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını Karadeniz ve İç Anadolu bölgelerinde bulunan dört farklı universitede öğrenim gören 182 özel eğitim öğretmenliği lisans programı birinci sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan veri toplama formu aracılığıyla çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, MAXQDA programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Yapılan analizler sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, öğrencilerin özel eğitim bölumunu özgeci nedenlerden dolayı tercih ettiği, bölume karşı olumlu duygular hissettikleri ve mesleklerine ilişkin ileriye dönuk çoğunlukla kişisel hedefler belirledikleri görulmuştur. Öğrencilerin çoğu, bölumu tercih etmeden önce araştırma yapmış ve özel eğitim alanıyla ilişkili kişilerden bilgi almıştır. Öğrencilerin bölumu tercih etmelerinde etkili olan kişilerin çoğunlukla aile uyeleri olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Son olarak, öğrencilerin çoğu, özel eğitim öğretmenliğini kişiliklerine uygun görduklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Tartışma: Araştırma sonuçları genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde, özel eğitim öğretmenliğinin en çok özgeci nedenlerden dolayı tercih edildiği ve tercihlerin çoğunlukla araştırılarak ve bilinçli bir şekilde yapıldığı görulmektedir. Bu durumun öğrencilerin ileriki mesleki başarıları açısından önemli ve umut vaat edici olduğu duşunulmektedir.
