Standard deviation and average values of students’ self-efficacy beliefs were included in the research to explain which level students’ self-efficacy beliefs were. Kruskal Wallis H-Test was used to detect whether there is difference between the class levels of self-efficacy beliefs of students. At the end of the study, it was found that general mean score of the self-efficacy beliefs of candidate teachers was 3.37 and the best self-efficacy field they had in the sub-dimension of the scale for self-efficacy beliefs was the sub-dimension of arranging the learning environment with a mean score of 3.43 and the lowest one was the sub-dimension of family involvement with a mean score of 3.26. In addition, upon the evaluation of the self-efficacy belief scores of the teachers candidates having a preschool education in terms of grade level variable, a statistically significant difference was found in the whole scale and in all sub-dimensions.
