Analysis of the School Concept through the Perspectives of Candidate Teachers via Metaphors

Abstract

Metaphors, which we often use in our daily-life whether consciously or not, are ornate statements that can reveal hidden meanings in minds. The aim of this study is to put forth mental perceptions of candidate teachers towards the concept of school using metaphors. The participants of the study are candidate teachers studying mathematics teaching, social sciences teaching, science and technology teaching, and English Language Teaching at Aksaray University in 2012-2013 academic year (n=161). As data gathering device, a form prepared to determine the metaphors about school which includes the statement "The school is like ........... because ............." has been used. The data acquired by the data gathering device have been analysed using quantitative and qualitative data solving techniques. According to the findings of the study, candidate teachers have generated 62 metaphors as to the concept of school. Examined as regards with their similarities, nine conceptual categories have come up.
