Abstract
The mind and value have the ability to regulate and direct people's behaviours and decisions. Thus, this research aims to determine prospective social studies teachers' views regarding values considered as a factor that influences decisions and behaviours. The research has employed a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. This research has been carried out with 45 prospective teachers who are from social studies teaching department at the faculty of education and who have been selected by the convenience sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods. The research data have been collected through a semi-structured interview form consisting of four open-ended questions. Descriptive analysis was used in the analysis of the data. Research results have revealed that prospective teachers have values, mind and both f=8 , respectively while making decisions or exhibiting behaviours. The values affecting decisions and behaviours have been identified to be respect, righteousness, tolerance, fairness, patriotism, love, benevolence, compassion and responsibility, respectively. When it comes to the prospective teachers' views regarding their conflict with values and mind, the dilemma has the highest frequency, while they mostly prefer the value. Research results have revealed that values are in the foreground when making decisions within society or displaying behaviours; however, the significant effect of the mind cannot be underestimated
