Education In Turkey

Distance education is used for teacher training at different levels and fields in Turkey. Launched in the 2000-2001 academic year and still applied by Anadolu University, the Pre-School Teacher Training Program is one of those programs offered by distance education. This study aims to evaluate Anadolu University’s Preschool Teacher Training Program in Turkey by obtaining student opinions. A total of 1,026 senior students enrolled in the Preschool Education major at the Open Education Faculty of Anadolu University participated in the survey. A questionnaire to determine the opinions of students on the program was used as a means of data collection. Means (X) and standard deviations (SD) were employed to analyze the survey data. The results showed that although the teacher candidates study at a good level, they do not have a good record of watching the television programs. The results also revealed that the opinions of teacher candidates about the textbooks, television programs, teaching practices, and academic assistance services are positive.

The aim of science education is to enable children to become “science-literate.” Science literacy is defined as taking responsibility for and making decisions about situations requiring scientific understanding and having sufficient knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding of values to put their decisions into practice. Revealing teachers’ beliefs can help to understand the types of experiences presented by teachers in their classrooms. Inadequate understandings and misbeliefs of teachers shape the first perceptions of children about the NOS when they are formally introduced with science education in their early childhood. Most of the studies were also performed with science teachers and there have been few studies conducted with preschool teachers. Therefore, the present study was directed towards determining NOS beliefs of preschool teacher candidates. To achieve this aim, Nature of Science Beliefs Scale (NOSBS), developed by Özcan and Turgut (2014), was administered to the preschool teacher candidates studying in Preschool Education Department of Buca Education Faculty at Dokuz Eylül University in the spring semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. In the study, the NOS beliefs of the teacher candidates were found to be acceptable in general. While the findings of this study are consistent with those revealed in several relevant studies in the literature

<p>The aim of this study is to identify the interest level of the preschool teacher candidates in the environment and to see if this interest is changing considering some variables. The sampling for this study constitutes of 108 preschool teacher candidates, who are studying in Selçuk University Ahmet Keleşoğlu Faculty of Education-Primary Instruction-Preschool Education. Quantitative research techniques were preferred and the study is based on Scanning Model in order to introduce current situation. The scale for the interest of teacher candidates in environment was used which was developed by Alım (2007). As a result of the study it came out that the level of interest of teacher candidates in environment differs meaningfully according to the independent variables: gender and participation in the activity about environment or nature. On the other hand, there aren’t any meaningful differences according to: the class they are studying in, type of high school, location where they spent their childhood and structure of this location, taking a course during his/her education about environment or nature.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının çevreye olan ilgi düzeylerinin saptanması ve öğretmen adaylarının bazı değişkenlerine göre çevreye olan ilgilerinin farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığının belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın örneklemini, Selçuk Üniversitesi Ahmet Keleşoğlu Eğitim Fakültesi İlköğretim Bölümü Okul Öncesi Eğitimi Anabilim Dalında öğrenimlerini sürdürmekte olan 108 okul öncesi öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmamızda nicel araştırma yöntemi tercih edilmiş olup, mevcut durumu ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla tarama modeli temel alınmıştır. Okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının çevreye olan ilgi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi için Alım (2007) tarafından geliştirilen Öğretmen Adaylarının Çevre Sorunlarına İlgileri Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının çevreye olan ilgi düzeylerinin, cinsiyet ve çevre veya doğa ile ilgili etkinliğe katılma durumu değişkenleri ile anlamlı düzeyde farklılaştığı, öğretmen adaylarının sınıf, lise türü, çocukluğunu geçirdiği yerleşim yeri ve yapı türü ve öğrenim süreci boyunca çevre veya doğa ile ilgili ders alma durumuna göre de anlamlı farklılaşmanın olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.</p>
