Prospective teachers' opinions on concept of Ataturk in the age group of 6-7 years

Abstract

It is very important for teaching the concept of Ataturk to have textbooks that are appropriate for development of pupils aged 6-7 and to have material and application-oriented instructional conditions. In this regard, concept of Ataturk is taught by the prospective preschool teachers in 1st Grades while by prospective classroom teachers in pupils aged 6 through original instructional designs developed by the prospective teachers on their own. Activities carried out in the classroom showed similarity because of the closeness of the ages and developmental characteristics of the age group of 6-7 years.
