The purpose of this study is to investigate the teaching style and teaching philosophy about preliminary teachers in order to explore the applicability of teaching style to instruction. For this study, I conducted a questionnaire survey of 47 students in the fourth year students of C university. I used Grasha's Teaching Styles inventory Ver 3.0 for teaching style diagnosis and Pratt & Collins Teaching Perspectives Inventory for teaching philosophy diagnosis. The results of the study are as follows. First, Facilitator and Expert had the most teaching styles, followed by Personal Model and Formal Authority, and there was no Delegator type. Second, there was no statistically significant difference in teaching style by gender and subject area. Third, Nurturing type was the most dominant, followed by Transmission, Apprenticeship, Developmental, and Social Reform in teaching philosophy. Fourth, there was no statistically significant difference in teaching style by gender and major subject. The significance of this study is to analyze tendency of preliminary teachers' teaching style and teaching philosophy.
