DETERMINING THE LEVELS OF DEMOCRATIC BELIEF OF PRIMARY SCHOOL AND PRE-SERVICE TEACHERS

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the levels of democratic belief of the teachers working at primary schools and prospective teachers (4th grade teacher training students). To this end, we applied Non-Democratic Teacher Belief Scale (developed by Schlectman and transformed into Turkish by Kesici) to 327 teachers of primary schools teaching in the city centre of Konya and last grade students (prospective teachers) attending to the department of primary school teaching at the Faculty of Education. It consists of three sub-dimensions: equality, freedom and justice. The results indicate that the prospective teachers have lower level compared to teachers. For the prospective teachers, there is significant difference in terms of gender in three dimensions. The results show that both prospective teachers and teachers need to acquire more democratic attitudes and values in theory and in practice as well.
