Öğretmen adaylarının kadın hakları konusunda eğitim gereksinimlerinin belirlenmesi: Anadolu Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi örneği

The aim of this study is to assess the educational needs of student teachers about women's rights. Descriptive approach is taken to the account as the main approach for assessing the educational needs in this concurrent mixed model study. Data collection and analysis methods include document analysis of the course syllabuses and the teacher education programs of the education faculty, a Likert type questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews with the student teachers, and the teaching staffs. As a result of the study, although both student teachers and teaching staffs have enough awareness about the importance of women's rights as human rights, and especially agree with the legal rights, there are a considerable number of prospective teachers who are unaware of specialized and critical concerns. Both participating groups are in favor of women's rights education for the prospective teachers and the society. Moreover, the results of the document analysis show the gap of women's rights in the curricula of teacher education at Anadolu University. According to the assessment of the all of the findings of the study, it is concluded that there is a need for women's rights education in Faculty of Education at Anadolu University.
