Özet

This study examines the relationship between classroom teachers’ attitudes toward their profession and their level of satisfaction with leisure activities, and implicitly highlights the significance of using metacognitive strategies based on findings regarding the psychological well-being variable. The data were gathered using valid and reliable scales, and the study group consisted of 298 primary school teachers. According to the results of the regression analysis, the relationship between attitudes toward teaching as a profession and leisure satisfaction is partially mediated by psychological wellbeing. In order to improve the professional attitudes of primary school teachers, this knowledge is thought to be instructive in pre-service and in-service training programs.
