In this study, determining the prediction level of competitive attitudes of teachers' educational beliefs was aimed. For this purpose, The Teacher Competitiveness Scale was developed for teachers. In the process of developing the scale, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were performed on two different samples. In the analysis, it was observed that the scale consists of 4 subdimensions called winning by competition, approval, superiority and exclusion and 16 items. As the second scale, The Educational Beliefs Scale consisting of 40 items and 5 dimensions was used. In the second sample, independent groups t test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were performed. Analyses showed that male teachers had significantly higher scores compared with female teachers according to the competitiveness score. According to the institution type variable, it was determined that private school teachers had significantly higher scores than public school teachers compared to the competitiveness score. According to the linear regression that is done for determining the predicted level of teachers' competitiveness attitudes by educational beliefs, essentialism and perennialism determined positively their competitiveness attitudes; existential education belief predicts negatively and significantly.
