This study examined perceived teaching competence of new teachers. Subjects N=503) were required to estimate their own levels of teaching competence at the present time, at the time of one year hence, and at the time of ten years hence, respectively. Results indicated that:(1) Factor analysis of the subjects' responses to the questionnaire revealed that new teachers have a five-factor structure in perceiving their own teaching competence (study and training, skills in instruction, enthusiasm and love in education, and cooperation with children's parents), and this suggests that new teachers have vaguer cognitive structure of teaching competence than do experienced teachers; (2) New teachers expected that their teaching competence would increase as they experience teaching children in the future; (3) Enthusiasm and love in education, one of the four factors in teaching competence found in this study, showed high level of estimation even at the present time; (4) Positive motives to become a teacher and the teachers' majors in university had significant relation to perceived teaching competence, both at the present and in the future; (5) Preceding experience of teaching as a part-time teacher was significantly related only to the present level of perceived teaching competence.
