Abstract

It is known that pre-service teacher training has an impact on orientations, beliefs, and views on teaching and teaching practices. In addition, it was determined that the curriculum theory orientations scale for teachers developed by Türe & Bıkmaz (2023) was not suitable for the sample of undergraduate students of the faculty of education. Because there are structural differences between the teacher sample and the undergraduate student sample. Faculty of Education undergraduate students are individuals who continue to be trained with the aim of training teachers. On the other hand, the pre-service teachers of the sample in which the scale could be developed and applied was selected from third and fourth-year undergraduate students who had completed the course on 'Curriculum'. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a measurement tool that will determine the curriculum theory orientations of undergraduate students studying in education faculties. In this study, a measurement tool was developed to determine the orientations of pre-service teachers regarding curriculum theories. The IOCT for prospective teachers consists of three scales: OSPCT, OSDCT and OSCECT. OSPCT for pre-service teachers consists of two factors 19 items; OSDCT for pre-service teachers consists of two factors 12 items and OSCECT for pre-service teachers consists of three factors, 19 items. It has been revealed that the structure and items of the scales in the IOCT developed for pre-service teachers differ from the structure and items of the scales in the IOCT developed for teachers by Türe & Bıkmaz (2023).
