 Geleceğin öğretmenlerinin bu kariyer yolunu seçebilmeleri ve bu yolda kalabilmeleri için motivasyon kilit önem taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle öğretmenlerin mesleği seçme nedenlerinin incelenmesi önemlidir. Yeni öğretmenlerin ve öğretmen adaylarının görüşlerini almak, eğitim sisteminin daha iyi bir geleceğe doğru ilerlemesine katkıda bulunabilir. Bu araştırma, göreve yeni başlayan öğretmenlerin öğretmenlik mesleğini seçme nedenleri ile öğretmenliğe başlamadan önceki beklentilerini tespit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik desen kullanılarak yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılar, 2024-2025 Eğitim-Öğretim Yılında Ankara İl Millî Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı farklı okullardan farklı branşlarda toplam 13 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Öğretmenlerle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, bir görüşme formuyla toplanmıştır. Görüşme formu, araştırma soruları ve demografik sorulardan oluşmaktadır. Toplanan veriler içerik analizi tekniğiyle çözümlenmiş ve öğretmenlik mesleğini seçme nedenleri ve öğretmenlik mesleğinden beklentiler olmak üzere iki tema tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlik mesleğini seçme nedenlerinin bireysel nedenler ve dışsal nedenler olduğu saptanmıştır. Öğretmenlik mesleğinden beklentilerin ise mesleki beklentiler ve bireysel beklentiler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ulaşılan sonuçlar doğrultusunda çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
