The results obtained from the research are as follows: The self-efficacy beliefs regarding family involvement of pre-service teachers who have taken the family education and involvement course are higher than those who have not taken the course. The self-efficacy beliefs regarding family involvement of third-year pre-service teachers are higher than those of second-year pre-service teachers. The self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service preschool teachers regarding family involvement do not differ statistically significantly according to the participation in a seminar on family education.}, number={19}, publisher={Disiplinlerarası Eğitim ve Araştırma Derneği}
