The purpose of this study was to describe biology teacher candidates’ attitudes toward teaching professions after their involvement in PPG SM-3T ‘Pendidikan Profesi Guru-Sarjana Mengajar di daerah terluar, terdepan dan tertinggal’, a pilot model of professional teacher education in which teacher candidates were to finish two major training programs, a one-year social service program for rural and remote schools as part of character buildings and a one-year at campus professional teacher education as part of academic strengthening programs. A survey design was implemented on all 28 PPG SM-3T participants of first batch, as the entire population of interest. A questionnaire of 30 items was administered on the basis of the component of attitude and distributed to all participants. They were asked to express their belief and attitude toward the four key domains of teacher competencies (pedagogical, personal, social and professional capabilities) as stipulated by the Indonesia Ministry of National Education Decree Number 16 Year 2007. The results showed that a considerable part of the participants (96%) indicated that they had positive professional attitudes toward teachers as profession. Almost 96% of them showed positive attitudes towards pedagogical and professional capabilities, 89% and 93% of them also indicated they had positive attitudes towards personal and social competencies.
