Abstract

Since teachers are losing their traditional authoritative roles, pre-service teachers should be taught how to be tolerant toward various participants in their classroom. That's why, it is crucial to analyze their attitude through punishment. Using the primordial archetypes theory of Carl Jung as a point of view, this study analyzed the attitude of pre-service teachers about punishment and what they think about the roles of teachers and students in the process of punishment. This study reveals that pre-service teachers are mostly in favour of punishment and they accept teachers as "Wise Old Man" and students as "Trickster" according to Jung's primordial archetypes.
