Abstract
|
This research was carried out in order to determine the level of proficiency in performing the professions of the geography teachers working in the official secondary education institutions of the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) in Turkey. In general, the level of geography education at the University, it is a matter of debate at what level the teachers serve in their readiness after they have started to work as teachers. In this study, the scanning model was adopted and data were collected with a descriptive approach. This data was obtained and analyzed by means of data collection tool developed by the researcher and sampling technique from the leading geography teachers. According to the results obtained from the collected data; it has been observed that the geography teachers did not consider the undergraduate education they received while carrying out their education activities and they did not have sufficient level in acquiring some of the fields that have to be given to the students. Undergraduate geography teacher programs need to be updated on a need-based basis by taking the opinions of all stakeholders, to be able to apply the geography curriculum effectively and effectively and to provide the geographic skills required by the 21st century to students. In addition, some suggestions can be made to the geography teachers who are currently working in the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) by developing application-based activities to meet the professional development needs in the areas they need. |
