Özet:

The purpose of this research is to study the views of the last-class students studying in different departments of the educational faculty on child abuse and neglect. The research is a quality study and was carried out with the teachers candidates. The semi-configured interview form, prepared by researchers to the participants as a data collection tool, was applied and the analysis of the data obtained was done through content analysis. As a result, the study found that the teaching candidates did not have sufficient knowledge and skills in the process of identification, prevention and intervention of child abuse and neglect, and did not realize their role and responsibilities in the relevant laws and regulations. It is also shown that the teachers candidates are aware of the lack of knowledge about this and are willing to participate in the work to be done. This situation shows that other faculties, including educational faculty, need studies and practices related to child abuse and neglect. Making lessons to work with young children more adequate in this area will make an important contribution to teaching lessons on prevention and interference with children in the teaching process.
