Abstract
This study had two objectives: (1) allowing migrant preservice teachers to interact with their Turkish peers to help them gain pre-professional experiences and (2) using interactive activities to reduce migrant preservice teachers' acculturative stress levels. The study adopted a mixed-method research design (quantitative and qualitative). Participants attended eight weeks of interactive activity workshops on migration (intervention). The quantitative part adopted a pretest-posttest pre-experimental design. The qualitative part adopted a case study. Data were collected using activity evaluation forms, semi-structured interviews, and the Acculturative Stress Scale (ASS). The sample consisted of 11 migrant students from the education faculty of Ondokuz Mayıs University. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, dependent-groups t-test, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The quantitative data showed that participants had a lower mean posttest ASS subscale score than the pretest score. They also had a significantly lower mean posttest ASS 'social isolation' and 'perceived discrimination' subscale score than the pretest score. Participants stated that the intervention helped them value and socialize with people more. We think that our results will guide authorities in developing activities to help migrant preservice teachers cope with cultural adaptation and student-related problems.
