AB  - Although teacher responsibility is a rather frequently investigated topic, less attention has been paid to teacher personal perception of responsibility for pupil outcomes. This study presents results of a pilot quantitative questionnaire investigation of pre-service primary teachers at a Czech university with the aim to reveal teacher trainees' approach to their subjective responsibility for pupil success or failure. The preliminary findings suggest that pre-service teachers tend to assume a greater responsibility for pupil success than for his or her failure. Since the results of our quantitative questionnaire research do not provide a more complex insight into pre-service teachers' perception of responsibility in a broader sense, the study sets goals for further mixed methods research combining longitudinal quantitative and qualitative strategies.
