In collecting data; A personal information form was used to learn teachers' demographic information, "Teacher Patience Scale" to determine teachers' patience levels, and "Organizational Cynicism Scale" to measure their cynicism levels. Parametric tests were used to analyze the data. t-Test was used to compare paired groups, and ANOVA was used to compare more than two groups. Regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictive level of teachers' patience on cynicism.

Teachers' opinions on the total and sub-dimensions of patience did not differ significantly depending on the number of students in the class. While teachers' opinions did not differ significantly in the cognitive, affective and total sub-dimensions of cynicism according to the number of students in the class, there were significant differences in the behavioral sub-dimension. Those who teach in classes of 16-25 students stated that they showed less behavioral cynicism compared to other class sizes.
