A STUDY OF OPINIONS OF PRESCHOOL TEACHERS ON PROFESSIONAL ETHICS (SAMPLE OF B？NG？L)

This research was carried out to study the opinions of pre-school teachers on professional ethics. With this purpose in mind, the opinions of preschool teachers working in the city center of Bing？l were taken. The study group of this study is composed of 78 teachers working at the nursery schools and preschools affiliated with the Ministry of National Education, in the city center of Bing？l. The data for the study were collected through the "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers and the "Preschool Teacher's Ethical Behaviors Scale" by Sakin (2007). At the end of this research, it is understood that no difference appeared among preschool teachers' opinions on professional ethics behavior in such factors as gender, occupational seniority, marital status, number of children, the schools graduated from, and educational background of parents. On the other hand, the results of the research reveal that democracy and equality dimensions, and justice and morals dimensions, which are sub-dimensions of the scale, have a significant difference in terms of the age variable.
