In this descriptive study, a quantitative and qualitative blended method was preferred. 928 pre-service teachers who were enrolled at the Pre-School Teaching departments of Education Faculties of 3 different Universities in the 2018-2019 Spring Term attended the study. Findings obtained from quantitative and qualitative data revealed that pre-service teachers need training for the application of communication skills, classroom management, material use and evaluation methods. In this context, it is recommended to increase the number of practical courses in teacher training programs to improve the professional knowledge and skills of pre-service teachers. In addition, it should be ensured that pre-service teachers gain experience in teaching practices by extending their internship duration in preschool institutions.
