Teachers working in the preschool education institutions in the city centre of Ankara comprised the population of the study and 397 teachers comprised the sampling of the study. As the data collection tool, “The scale for Self-Efficacy Belief towards the Activities in the Preschool Program” and “The Scale for Determining the Strategies Preschool Teachers Use in School Management towards Undesired Behaviours” were used. Relational research method was used. At the end of the research, it was found that 27.46% of teachers had low self-efficacy belief, 52.39% had medium and 20.15% had high level while 22.42% of teachers had used realty therapy/control model at low level, 57.18% used it at medium level and 20.40% used it at high level.
