In this study, scaling the characteristics that should be found in an
ideal teacher according to the pre-service teachers by using the pairwise
comparison method was aimed. Thirteen characteristics that an ideal teacher
should have were given to 211 pre-service teachers in the working group, and
these 13 properties were first asked to be considered as a whole, and then each
property was asked to be compared to another property, one by one, to prefer
one property to another. The research data were obtained from 211 pre-service
teachers in fall semester of the 2015-2016 academic year. The data were scaled
according to the pairwise comparison method. According to the findings
obtained, when the characteristics were aligned from the most important
characteristic that an ideal teacher should have according to the pre-service
teachers to the most unimportant one, it was determined that; he/she should
have an intellectual personality (U10) should have a sense of humor (U7),
should be open to being criticized (U2), should be motivating (U1), should have
a smiling expression (U5), should have a good usage of diction (U8), should be
trustworthy (U3), should be creative (U6), should be a researcher (U9), should
use teaching techniques well (U10), should give importance to the students
