ÖZAile ve okul ortamında sevgiyle karşılaşan çocuklar gelecekte daha huzurlu bir ortam sağlanmasında önemli rol oynayabilirler. Bu çalışmada, ilk ve ortaöğretim kurumlarında öğretmenlerin çocuk sevme durumlarının belirlenmesi, bu durumun erkek ve kadın öğretmenler arasında bir farklılık gösterip göstermediğinin belirlenmesi amaç-lanmaktadır.

Bu öğretmenlerin çocuk sevme durumlarını belirlemek amacıyla verilerin toplanmasında Barnett Çocuk Sevme Ölçeği ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan demografik veri formu kullanılmıştır. Cinsiyete göre bakıldığında kadın ve erkek öğretmenler arasında çocuk sevme durumu açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Öğretmenlerin yaş grupları arttıkça çocuk sevme durumlarının arttığı, evli ve çocuk sahibi öğretmenlerin de bekar öğretmenlere göre çocuk sevme puanlarının daha yüksek olduğu ve bu farkların istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur. Bunun yanında mesleğini seven ve kendi isteğiyle tercih eden öğretmenlerin çocuk sevme puanları daha yüksek bulunmuş ve aralarındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin çocuk yaşamın-daki etkilerinin büyüklüğü göz önüne alındığında çocuk sevme durumlarının birçok faktöre göre değişiklik gösterdiği belirlenmiş ve bu konuda farkındalık oluşturulmuş-tur.
