view on their professional skill needs. Participants of the study were

Turkey. The data were collected through 36 Q sentences. The results
obtained in this study reveal the needs of prospective teachers to
develop their professional skills in assessment and evaluation. Also,
it was determined in the study that the prospective teachers need
to improve themselves the most for the education of students with
special needs. Based on the results of this research, assessmentevaluation,
teaching technologies and especially special education

studies could concentrate on more specific professional skill needs
of prospective teachers in the context of these issues.
