TI  - Acquisition of the curriculum development knowledge in pre-service teacher
education
AB  - The present study aimed to investigate senior teacher candidates’ theoretical
knowledge about curriculum development, their perceived competence for subjectspecific curriculum knowledge, and the curriculum-related courses taken during their
pre-service teacher education. As a survey, the study was carried out with 473 senior
teacher candidates majoring in the elementary science, elementary mathematics,
English language, and classroom teaching programs of the education faculties at two
public universities in Ankara during the 2017-2018 academic year. The data were
gathered through the Curriculum Development Knowledge Test and the Subjectspecific Curriculum Questionnaire and analyzed by making use of the descriptive and
inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed that the curriculum development
and subject-specific curriculum related courses in the pre-service teacher education
programs were limited. According to the results, senior teacher candidates did not feel
very competent in subject-specific curriculum knowledge and they had very limited
and superficial knowledge about curriculum development. In the light of these results,
it is recommended that curriculum development should be acknowledged as one of
the core competencies of pre-service teacher education programs and should be
associated with all related courses both horizontally and vertically, embedded
deliberately in the teaching-learning process
