Özet |
This study is conducted to identify teachers' views towards European Union (EU). Considering that our teachers, who will raise the future generations and guide our future, will convey their own thoughts to their students and affect them, the teachers' views on this issue are considered important. In data collection and analysis stages, survey method among qualitative research method patterns is applied. Participants of this study consist of 60 teachers in primary and secondary schools under the Ministry of National Education in Kırşehir city centre in 2018-2019 academic year. To collect data to determine teachers' views, semi-structured interview questions with seven open-ended questions designed by researchers are asked. Content analysis is adopted for data analysis of obtained data. Data are compared, classified and quantified with content analysis. With descriptive analysis, direct quotes are included in the study to clarify analysis. Based on the findings obtained from teachers' survey item answers, it can be seen that Turkish citizens have lost their belief for full-membership as all participants answered "No" to the question whether Turkey will be accepted to EU as full-member due to religion, economic, political and cultural difference, voting tactics and prejudice against Turkey. Teachers' views show that EU member states perceive Turkey as underdeveloped, barbarian and a country that does not meet EU criteria with Islamophobic perspective. 40% of teachers expressed that Turkey should be included in EU for higher life quality and sensitivity towards laws and human rights. |
