“…The importance of HRE in general education has grown in the last decade; however, its implementation has been very slow (Roth, 2015), calling for familiarisation with and practice of the concept in teacher training and at schools (Olsson, 2020;Robinson, Phillips, & Quennerstedt, 2020). According to previous studies, teaching human rights in teacher education is a sensitive and somewhat difficult topic, as many people have misconceptions about it.…”

This chapter discusses pre-service teachers' views about the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child and how teachers perceive their connection to the educational context and their work. The authors argue that pre-service teachers' perceptions determine how successfully human rights education is implemented in practice. The data were collected from workshops and focus group discussions conducted with 82 primary school pre-service teachers in Northern Finland. The participants noted that children's rights are important and deeply connected to their work. However, they were insufficiently familiar with HRE concepts, and they were uncertain about whether it was acceptable to physically restrain children to protect them or others, as this could undermine a child's rights. To adhere to the principles in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the topic must be included in the pre-service study syllabus, more clearly added to the curriculum, and implemented in teacher practice.

“…However, pre-service teachers may be sorely underprepared for the challenging and diverse educational contexts they may encounter in their future career (Jones, 2019). Moreover, implementation of human rights education (HRE) remains challenging in the context of teacher education (see Olsson, 2020).…”

“…The significance of HRE in general education has evolved within last ten years period. At the same time, its implementation has been very slow (Roth, 2015), calling for familiarisation with and practice of the concept in teacher training at schools (Olsson, 2020;Robinson et al, 2020). Based on the information from the previous studies, delivering the knowledge on human rights in teacher education is a sensitive and particularly difficult topic, due to the fact that many people have misconceptions about it.…”

“…In terms of the participants' teaching practices, Zembylas and his colleagues (2016) reported on the dominance of a "declarational" approach, decontextualisation, the trivialization of human rights, and the retreat to familiar discourses and activities. Similarly, Olsson (2020) found that human rights were usually implicitly present in the course plans of teacher education programmes, but the syllabi provided little guidance as to what knowledge pre-service teachers would need and what they are expected to learn about children's rights. Teacher educators supported the idea of including children's rights in the teacher education curriculum, but they were uncertain about where that topic should be included in the curriculum.…”

Reklamlarda şarkı, müzik, dans gibi çocuğun ilgisini çeken unsurların ve sembollerin yer alması çocuğun reklamlarda gördüğü görüntülerden etkilenmesine neden olmaktadır. Reklamların çocuk haklarına uygun öğeler içermesi önemlidir. Erken çocukluk dönemi çocuklarla çalışacak öğretmen adaylarının çocuk haklarını gözetmesi ve çocuğun yararı ilkesine yönelik hareket etmesi, farkındalık sahibi olması gerekmektedir. Araştırmada, okul öncesi eğitimi alan öğretmen adaylarının ekranda (televizyon ve internet) izledikleri reklamların çocuk haklarına yer vermesine ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Karma yönteme uygun olarak planlanan araştırmada hem nicel değerlendirme hem de nitel değerlendirme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmaya katılmayı gönüllü olarak kabul eden 45 okul öncesi öğretmen adayı çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Bulgular frekans analizinin yanı sıra içerik analizi gerçekleştirilerek incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre öğretmen adaylarının çoğu çocuk haklarını bilmektedir. En çok yaşama hakkı kategorisinde yer alan haklara örnekler vermekte ve çok azı reklamların çocuk haklarını koruduğunu düşünmektedir.
