In this research, the aim was to determine the negative teacher behaviors from which the students having education in senior class of education faculty are being affected. In the research phenomology pattern (among the qualitative research patterns) was used. The research group consists of 142 students taking class management lesson in music, special education, science and Turkish sections. 103 of the students were female and 39 were male. Students mentioned negative behavior mostly from their class teacher (60) and secondly from their math teacher (19). By force of the lesson, students were asked to write the negative teacher behavior which most affected them during their education before university. The answers of students were analyzed by content analysis. As a result of the content analysis, 22 negative teacher behavior affecting teacher candidates were determined. These behaviors are classified under vocational insufficiency and violence categories. Violence category was also divided into three themes: physical, psychological and passive aggression.
