The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service teachers’ experiences with education-themed movies, determine their perceptions on effective teacher attributes, attitudes towards teaching profession, and the relationship between their perceptions and attitudes, and find out the influence of seeing an education-themed movie, number of movies seen, gender, major and grade level on their perceptions and attitudes. Thus, a survey design was employed with a sample of 427 second, third and fourth year pre-service teachers enrolled in a public university in Ankara. Three instruments developed by the researcher were used to collect data. The data were analyzed through quantitative and qualitative methods. First, the analysis showed that most participants saw an education-themed movie, and some of them re-watched these movies and/or found them influential. Second, it was found that pre-service teachers’ perceptions on effective teacher attributes and attitudes towards the profession were positive, and there was a statistically significant relationship between their perceptions and attitudes. Third, the one-way MANOVAs revealed that seeing an education-themed movie, gender and major had statistically significant influences on their perceptions on effective teacher attributes and attitudes towards the profession. Considering their influence, the movies should be selected carefully. Pre-service teachers should be given opportunities to become more aware of effective teacher attributes and develop their attitudes towards the profession. Moreover, this study should be replicated with similar samples and qualitative studies should be conducted to better understand the factors that may influence their perceptions on effective teacher attributes and attitudes towards the profession.
