Preschool Teachers’ Views on World Citizenship Education

Abstract

The current study aimed at investigating views of preschool teachers on the concept of world citizenship education and teaching world citizenship in the preschool years. The Teaching World Citizenship in the Twenty-First Century Survey developed by Gallayan (2008) was used in this research. The sample consisted of 345 preschool teachers involving in in-service training programs and seminars held by the Ministry of National Education in the following cities of Turkey: Yalova, Afyonkarahisar, Eskişehir, Aksaray and Rize. It was found out that majority of the teachers believed that preschool teaching programs should consider world citizenship and wanted to teach it to children. However, teacher education received and teaching experiences gained did not enable them to teach world citizenship to children.
