Maltepe University Faculty of Education calls for abstract submissions of papers for the Internatioal Students’ Congress, entitled “Teacher Education in Transition to Knowledge Society”, which will be held on 31 March – 1 April 2016.
Education is a process which plays an important role in developing personalities, cultural background and success or even failure in the lives of young people. This process has been a subject of dispute for today and throughout history. National and international development in society necessitates an approach to educational problems with a dynamic perspective. The objectives of this congress are to discuss local and international problems in education together with their possible solutions; to evaluate the role of teaching profession in solving these problems and to discuss the qualifications that prospective teachers should acquire from the young perspectives of teacher candidates
