Abstract

It is important for special education teachers to have sufficient levels of democratic tendencies in order to have respect for cultural values and have positive attitudes towards children rights to defend rights of children with special needs and their families. In this study, it is aimed to examine preservice special education teachers’ democratic tendencies and attitudes towards children's rights according to demographic characteristics. The sample of the study, which was prepared in accordance with the relational survey model, consisted of 251 preservice special education teachers. As a data collection tool, Attitude Scale towards Children Rights and Teacher Candidate Democratic Tendency Scale were used. The data obtained from the study were analyzed by using SPSS 22.0 statistical program using Mann Whitney U, Kruskall Wallis, Pearson Chi-Square, Phi and Cramer's V test techniques. Results were discussed with relevant literature and recommendations for further research and practics are presented.
