teachers to possess specific knowledge and skills. Teachers who have acquired knowledge of
their subject matter let their students presence to be in the class and not elsewhere. It is teachers
who let their students to actively participate in their lesson. These teachers are aware of the
problems that the students encounter while learning and are ready for any questions put by the
student and the answer teachers provide are not evasive or ambiguous. Teaching profession is
not an easy job but teachers overcame the comprehensive profession by completing formal
training period to specialize in a subject matter. In Turkey, four years of formal training period is
required for all kind of specialization and it is almost same for all the other countries in the
world. Since a teachers profession is to teach, they should convey important information’s up-to-

academic, identified that subject matter knowledge was really a major consideration in student
achievement. Hattie conducted a meta-analysis of more than 100 educational studies which
identified 138 different factors that influenced student learning. A teacher should be able to
