Abstract	Teachers' career motivation is an important factor affecting the education process. In this study, the relations between science teachers' career motivations and demographic variables (gender, school location and professional experience) were examined. A total of 136 science teachers working at state middle schools in Mugla Province participated in the study. FIT-Choice Scale was used as data collection tool. Data were collected in the Spring 2019 semester. In data analysis, descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA tests were used. The results of the analysis showed that the career motivation of science teachers was at moderate level. In terms of gender, differences were found in the sub-dimensions of expertise, difficulty, social impact, and fallback career. In addition, analysis showed that there was a difference in the sub-dimensions of difficulty, social status, social pressure, enhance social equality, social contribution, determining the future of students and previous experiences in terms of school location. In terms of professional experience, in only the sub-dimension of job security, a statistically significant difference was found.
