The sample of this study was consisted of 970 teachers working in schools in Siirt city centre and of 330 students who enrolled in Siirt education faculty as candidate teachers. The study sample was not taken. In this study "Scale of Class Management Efficacy (SCME) level developed by researchers was used to determine efficacy level of teachers in terms of class management. For this purpose, observation technique was developed for teacher's candidate. The scale was consisted of five sub-dimension and 75 questions. Cronbach alpha reliability coeffinciency was calculated for each sub-dimension. Likert Cronbach alpha reliability coeffinciency was found to be .93 for all dimensions of scale developed in form of 5 item Likert type scale. Obtained data was analyzed by descriptive statistics, one- way variance analysis, unrelated t-test groups and LSD test. Level of meaningful was found to be .05. In the conclusion, although generally the teachers' level of proficiency of classroom management turned out to be at the level "I often do", the teacher trainees' observations remained at the level "sometimes observed". Also, there found no difference among primary school teachers' opinions of their proficiency of classroom management according to such independents variations as "their sex, years of service, the level of classroom they teach, socio-economic conditions of the school vicinity and their degree programmes' attendance" but there found meaningful differences among their opinions of school's socio-economic status and the class they teach. Moreover, in terms of sub-dimensions of classroom management, an analysis has been made to determine whether there are meaningful differences of the teachers' proficiency of classroom management. With these data, some discussion and suggestions have been made over classroom management.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCandidate teacherClassroom managementEducationProficiencyTeacherArticle12006886Q42-s2.0-84890862572
