Abstract

This study was carried out with the aim to determine the level of sufficiency of the geography teachers' education, which they received during their undergraduate education, in terms of their professional performance in the official secondary education institutions under the Ministry of National Education in Turkey. This study adopted the survey model and the relevant data was collected by using a descriptive approach. THESE data were collected from the actively-working geography teachers by using a data collection tool developed by the researcher with the modeling technique to be analyzed and interpreted. According to the results obtained from the collected data; it has been observed that the geography teachers did not consider the undergraduate education they received while carrying out their education activities and they did not have sufficient level in acquiring some of the fields that have to be given to the students. Undergraduate geography teacher programs need to be updated on a need-based basis by taking the opinions of all stakeholders, to be able to apply the geography curriculum effectively and effectively and to provide the geographic skills required by the 21st century to students. In addition, some suggestions can be made to the geography teachers who are currently working in the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) by developing application-based activities to meet the professional development needs in the areas they need.

地理教学与学习的联系：土耳其学校与大学之间的差距

这项研究的目的是确定地理教师在土耳其国家教育部下属的官方中等教育机构的专业表现，他们在本科教育期间接受的教育的充分程度。本研究采用调查模型，并采用描述性方法收集相关数据。这些数据是通过使用研究人员开发的数据收集工具，利用建模技术从积极工作的地理教师那里收集的，并进行分析和解释。根据收集到的数据得出的结果；据观察，地理教师在开展教育活动时没有考虑到他们所接受的本科教育，他们在获得必须给予学生的一些领域方面没有足够的水平。本科地理教师课程需要在基于需求的基础上更新，听取所有利益相关者的意见，以便能够有效地应用地理课程，并为学生提供21世纪所需的地理技能。此外，可以向目前在国民教育部工作的地理教师提出一些建议，通过开展基于应用程序的活动来满足他们所需领域的专业发展需求。
