Abstract
The purpose of this research is to seek the opinions of teacher candidates in order to develop the spiritual and creative potential of future teachers in the ‘school-university’ system. This research was carried out using the qualitative research method. The participant group of the research consisted of 40 pre-service teachers who were studying at the faculty of education in the 2021–2022 academic year and agreed to participate in the study voluntarily. Research data were collected through the semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the spiritual well-being and creative potential of the teacher candidates are at a moderate level. In addition, pre-service teachers suggested that courses should be given in universities in order to develop their spiritual and creative potentials. Some of the teachers offered suggestions to make practices to develop their spiritual and creative potential in the school-university environment and to benefit from experienced teachers in this system. In addition, teacher candidates stated giving importance to personal development and participating in personal development seminars as suggestions for the development of their spiritual and creative potentials. In line with the results of the research, the necessity of carrying out applications for the development of the spiritual well-being and creative potential of teacher candidates in the school-university system has arisen.
