Introduction
As the stated in the book of Başaran [2], when the topic is analyzed from the viewpoint of the following statement "Lecturers work without being influenced by dominant politic powers." it is possible to understand the importance of which lecturers are not influenced by the dominant political view from the educational organization and the general politic organization that includes educational organization while they are doing their duties. No matter what happens, lecturers shouldn't project their political views on their duties. It doesn't mean that they shouldn't have any political view. As a matter of course, it is possible that lecturers have political views. There is nothing to be considered wrong related to having political views in terms of lecturers. The fact that lecturers who should objectively perform their duties shouldn't project their political views on their duties is the important point.
According to the Demirel [4], when the topic is analyzed Perspectives of Teacher Candidates on the Statements Related to Effect of Politics on Lecturers and Educational Administrators' Competence of Ensuring Unity from the viewpoint of the following statement "Lecturers don't regard the students who have high political activity as superior to the other students." it is seen that lecturers should train students regardless of their personal identifying information, social class, financial income status, Besides the lecturers' fallacy of thinking the students who have high political activities as superior to the other students who don't have these powers, the administrators who are part of education management organization shouldn't favour the candidate teachers who have political powers and they shouldn't behave them differently when compared with the other teacher candidates who don't have political Powers.
According to the study of Kaya [6], when the research topic is evaluated from the viewpoint of the following statement "Lecturers work without being influenced by the political views of their principals", it is seen that they should perform their duties without being enslaved by the dominant political view of their habitual place of abode. They should work without being influenced by the dominant political view that has controlled over the education management organization in which they fulfill their duties. Lecturers should work without being affected by the administers of the education management organization in which they work. When the lecturers manage to work without being affected by the political views of the administers of the education management organization, they will get rid of behaving politically while communicating with teacher candidates.
As the stated in Bursalıoğlu [3], when the research topic is evaluated from the viewpoint of the following statement "Lecturers work without bestowing privilege on the students who are on the side of local politic powers." it can be seen that lecturers should avoid the local impositions in the settlement in which includes the educational institutions of lecturers. In addition to the lecturers, administers of educational institutions in which lecturers work should stand out against the local powers which are active in the settlement in which includes the educational institutions. The fact that educational institutions in which lecturers work put some distance between politic powers and they makes the lecturers relaxed. Those teacher candidates put pressure on the educational institutions and lecturers by pulling some strings by the help of local powers should be considered as a problem that must be controlled.
When the topic is investigated from the viewpoint of the following statement "Lecturers assess the students who don't share the same politic views with them objectively", importance of lecturers' politic impartiality comes to light. Lecturers shouldn't forget that their students who are their target groups are composed of people who have different political views. Lecturers should check their political views in the cloakroom of their educational institutions before they get inside the mentioned institutions. Before they get inside the educational institutions in which they work, they should receive their "teacher hat" from which they have hooked their "politics hat" in the cloakroom of their educational institutions and they have to get inside there with "teacher hat". When considered from this point of view, lecturers are responsible to behave and evaluate their students who don't have same politic view with the lecturers objectively.
When the topic is considered from the viewpoint of the following statement "Educational administrators don't discriminate between the people who work at their service", the importance of educational administrators' impartiality can be seen. Educational administrators who manage the educational management organizations are accountable to the employees who work in their institutions for treating them fairly. That educational administrators treating the employees who work in their institutions fairly and objectively shouldn't be seen as virtue, but it should be seen as ordinary part of their job and ordinary procedures. The ones who manage the educational management organization should distribute the opportunities that are obtained from the economic resources of the organizations between the employees in a planned, balanced and fair manner.
In Taymaz [7], when the topic is analyzed from the viewpoint of the following statement, "Educational administrators don't appoint the people with whom they have same political view with certain positions" it can be seen that it is important to value the competence for educational administrators. When educational administrators appoint someone with positions, they shouldn't think politic views of these people are whether the same with their politic view or not. When they employ someone, educational administrators should think how these people can make the educational institution more productive.
When the topic is considered from the viewpoint of the following statement, "Educational administrators don't favour the unqualified employees who have the same political view with them" it can be understood that educational administrators shouldn't favour unqualified people in the educational organizations. It is not acceptable that administrators of the educational management organizations favour unqualified people who are close to the administrators of educational management organization and appoint them with important positions.
When the topic is investigated from the viewpoint of the following statement "Educational administrators don't prevent qualified employees who don't have the same political view from getting promotion." preventing qualified people from getting promotion can be seen as injustice and wrongness. As mentioned above, it is not fair that the administrators of educational management organization invest unqualified people with important positions in the institution just because these people are close to them. Similarly, it is also not fair that administrators prevent qualified people from getting promotion just because these people are not close to them. Also, it is not something explainable.
When the topic is analyzed from the viewpoint of the following statement "Educational administrators do everything in their power to make all the employees who have different political view unified", it is possible to understand that educational administrators make all the employees in the institutions unified is really important.
In order to make the people who have different point of views unified, educational administrators try to solve the problem by reconciling people, establishing a buffer zone, making the employees communicate instead of written procedures such as imposing penalty on them. Also, it can be more useful for the institution as Adem mentioned in [1]. Mangin and Stoelinga [8], Hawley & Valli [9] and Garet et. Al. [10] have reported that factors such as teaching, school collaboration, interaction, guidance, student learning should be emphasized in the process of teacher training.

Method
The scope of questionnaires used as data collection tool for the attitude of teacher candidates of Ağrı İ.Ç. University Faculty of Education who study at the Department of Elementary Turkish Education to the statements related to A) effect of politics on lecturers and B) educational administrators' competence of ensuring unity has been developed pursuant to the objective of the research.
