Abstract

The aim of this research is the identification of preschool teacher candidates’ attitudes relating to history teaching. The sample of the research consists of 120 students from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades, which are going on to the undergraduate program of Near East University, Preschool Teaching in Fall 2016–2017. Within the scope of this research, the questionnaire “Attitude Survey Related to History Teaching of Preschool Teacher Candidates” was applied to teacher candidates. In the study using the descriptive statistical screening method included in the quantitative research model, the results were obtained by the percentage calculation, t test, Anova test, Mann–Whitney U test using the SPSS statistical program 23.0 version during the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it was revealed that there is no difference in the history teaching attitudes of the preschool teachers according to different variables such as gender, age, class, whether or not taking drama lessons and whether or not interning. It has been determined that the lack of history teaching of undergraduate students in Preschool Teaching has taken place and this area has not been sufficiently focused. Therefore, in terms of eliminating the deficiencies in this area, it is possible to express the necessity of making positive changes and regulations regarding history teaching in the undergraduate program.
