Abstract
The purpose of the present research is revealing remarks on effectiveness of values teaching conducted on schools of pre-service teachers who have an important place in values teaching. The present research adopted descriptive survey method in order to reveal pre-service teachers’ remarks. The present research was conducted on 344 pre-service teachers, who prepared for KPSS (Public Personnel Selection Examination) in the private teaching institutions in the provincial centre of Isparta in 2015-2016 academic year. As the data collection tool of the research, a questionnaire developed by the researcher was used. After reliability and validity studies of the questionnaire, 1 item was excluded from the questionnaire, and it was finalised. Additionally, exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the questionnaire, and it was split into five sub-categories (self-development, teaching responsibility, hidden curriculum, effectiveness of official program and teaching methods), and remarks on values teaching were studied in this context. Frequencies, percentages, arithmetic averages, t-test and one-way ANOVA tests were used in data analysis. According to obtained findings, the effectiveness of the values teaching conducted at school is very low (4.7%) and additionally hidden curriculum is required (77.9%) according to pre-service teachers’ remarks. Female and older pre-service teachers have more positive remarks on hidden program. Consequently, the present research showed that schools alone weren’t enough in values teaching, and it would be healthier through hidden program with the cooperation of families and environment.
