Sınıf Öğretmenliği Programı Öğrencilerinin Barışa İlişkin Görüşleri

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the opinions of primary education program students on peace. The data of the study were composed of data collected through interviews. The research was organized with phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research designs. Focus group interviews were used in the study and interviews were conducted with four groups of 13 students. These four study groups were determined among the students of the Faculty of Education according to the political views of the students and on a voluntary basis: students who define themselves as conservative, students who define themselves as nationalist, students who define themselves as left-wing students, and students who do not feel close to any view and who define themselves as apolitical. As a result of the interviews with the students of the primary education program, it is seen that students from all views agree on some issues such as the legitimacy of defense war. In addition, in this study, it is seen that students complain about the lack of communication and are aware of the importance of peace, as in similar studies in the literature on the subject. It is hoped that the research will contribute to peace research.
