Positive characteristics of teacher behaviors were analyzed in terms of knowledge about academic domain, motivating students, behavior management, teaching approaches, professional ethics, and teaching values. Negative characteristics were investigated in terms of insufficient subject matter knowledge, classroom management problems, creating stressful classroom environment, and physical and verbal punishment. The results of the study showed that positive characteristics of teacher behaviors were motivating students, behavior management, and subject matter knowledge; negative characteristics were issues related to professional ethics, using punishment inappropriately, problems in classroom management, and insufficient subject matter knowledge.
