Exploring Teacher Candidates’ Views on Teacher’s Vision

Abstract

The formation of an open, democratic, progressive and modern school is the pursuit of the entire educational community. In this paper, the opinions of prospective teachers are being explored on how they envision the school in which they wish to work. From their answers, it can be concluded that their main concern is the formation of a space with perfect infrastructure, equipment, and staffing. In addition, a school that will plan and implement innovative actions and programs will aim on the one hand at the all-around development of each student's personality and on the other hand at creating good working conditions for all teachers. In such an environment, which will be characterized by good interpersonal relations, respect and mutual understanding, the moral values and ideals that should accompany the citizens of a society could be cultivated.
