Özet:

Today, when intercultural interaction is rapidly increasing, the need for individuals to look at the events is increasingly increasing, not only from the perspective of their own country, but from the perspective of the world and humanity. In this context, it is important for our children to grow up with global citizenship skills. Teachers' knowledge about global citizenship, global citizenship views are an important condition in the development of our children as global citizens. Our research has been conducted in this direction to identify the opinions of social information teachers about global citizenship. The research method has been used. The participants of the study have been formed by 10 Social Information Teachers who work in different schools in the province of Istanbul in the educational and educational year 2017-2018. The selection of participants is easily accessible. In the study, a semi-configured conversation form developed by the researcher to collect data was also used by taking the expert opinion. Imaginary analysis has been used to analyze the data obtained from the discussions. As a result of the analysis, social information teachers have defined global citizenship as perception of the world outside of our country. The majority of teachers said they don’t carry their global citizenship characteristics. The reason is that they do not know a foreign language. Most teachers pointed out that global citizenship education is important and that it should be given in the context of different courses with practical projects. Some teachers have emphasized that it is more important to give students their own cultural values than to educate global citizenship. Teachers pointed out that in the Social Information course there are topics related to global citizenship education. Teachers have noted that the global citizenship education gives students a sense of respect, peace, freedom, and justice for different cultures and human rights.
