For this purpose, a questionnaire was applied to 200 Theology Faculty students participating in the pedagogical formation certificate programme in Amasya University. As a result, it has been seen that candidate teachers who take pedagogical formation education separately from undergraduate education are thinking of they may be live some problems about providing classroom management and applying teaching methods and techniques rather than having full knowledge of field.
