Preschool Teachers' Tendency Level of Lifelong Learning
International Journal of Modern Education Studies, v9 n1 p321-340 2025
Recently, it has been seen that rapid changes have started to alter perspectives on education. With the development of information technologies, this change has started to make continuous education compulsory. The paradigm of continuous change and development in education is Lifelong Learning. Raising individuals who are inclined towards lifelong learning (LLL) leads to the development of new human characteristics that this change should produce. This stduy determines and compares the LL levels of preschool teachers to compare them by demographics. The research was conducted with a descriptive survey model among preschool teachers. In this context, it is understood that their level of LL is generally high, but they consider themselves inadequate in terms of foreign language proficiency. Among the variables examined in the study according to the age variable it is seen that the arithmetic means of the opinions of the age groups is close to each other, and there is no significant difference between the opinions of preschool teachers. However, it was determined that there was a significant difference according to gender, and marital status variables. According to the gender variable, male teachers have a higher tendency towards LL than female teachers. According to the marital status variable, single teachers have a higher tendency towards LL than married teachers, and their opinions differ significantly. Preschool teachers exhibit learning tendencies across all age groups and cultivate a learning culture.
