The study examined reality shock among field training students, its relation with adjustment strategies and attitude in future toward the profession. Eighty students from special education department participated. Three tests were constructed: future attitude toward the profession; reality shock and adjustment strategies. Tests validity and reliability were established. Field training students had reality shock, reasons were attributed to students of special needs at schools scored first. There was a relationship between reality shock and dimensions attributed to students paths. Statistical differences between reality shock and students attitude in future for the profession attributed to paths were not found. Statistical significant differences in students attitude in future for the profession between pre and posttests in favor of the pretest were found. Psychological and physical adjustment strategies were used to ease reality shock among students more, but social adjustment strategies scores were low. Adjustment strategies did not differ according to students path in all dimensions and overall test.
