@article{2018,title={ACCORDING TO OPINIONS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS APPLICATIONS OF DISASTER EDUCATION IN TURKEY},abstractNode={The aim of this study was to evaluate disaster education applications in Turkey in terms of the views of secondary school teachers. Descriptive survey model and questionnaire technique were used in the study. The universe of the research is composed of 436 middle school teachers working in the central province of Çanakkale province in the academic year of 2015-2016. The sample of the research is composed of 238 middle school teachers. The data of the research were collected by the questionnaire developed by the researchers. In the statistical analysis of the data, frequency and percentage distributions and cross table comparisons were made using SPSS statistical program. As a result, the majority of secondary school teachers have not received any training on disasters. However, as the ages and seniorities of teachers increases, the rate of disaster education increases. The majority of secondary school teachers believe that it is necessary to keep an emergency bag at home but they do not have an emergency bag at home. Again, the majority of the teachers think that individual preparations against disasters will turn into social preparation and reduce the damage after disasters. Teachers describe the three most important issues that should be included in disaster education as earthquakes, floods, and fires. Secondary school teachers told that disaster education in Turkey should be provided by the Disaster and Emergency Management Department (AFAD). Teachers think that disaster education should be initiated primarily from the pre-school level and given to “Social Sciences” within the secondary school curriculum. Teachers find disaster education practices inadequate in terms of their place in the program. According to the majority of teachers, disaster education at school is not taken seriously by managers, teachers and students. It can be suggested that disaster education starting from preschool education and continuing up to higher education is given systematically and continuously by professional people in basic education institutions in Turkey. It should be emphasized that these trainings are aimed at preventing and reducing disaster risks.},author={İlknur MAYA-- Bektaş SARI},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
