Özet:

 This phenomenological study aims to understand how future-teachers university setting has become a personal awakening place to reflect on their past schooling experiences and build plans as peace agents. In other words, this study argues that university experience, if meaningfully constructed to promote peace, equips future-teachers with the necessary skills to teach peace, and it could help future teachers about critically reflecting their past learnings upon the negative peace and violence. It transforms these learnings into positive peace in the end. Drawing from Freires 1970 critical consciousness and Girouxs 1981,1988, 2010 conceptualization of teachers as transformative intellectuals, the findings suggest that universities by building inclusive, peaceful, democratic, and diverse communities, can help their students to gain the awareness of systematic oppression and structural violence reproduced by patriarchal, political and social discourses, and it develops motivation to incorporate peace education in their professional practices.

 Bu fenomenoloji çalışması, üniversite ortamının, öğretmen adaylarının geçmiş eğitim deneyimleri üzerine düşünmek ve gelecek planlarını inşa etmede nasıl kişisel bir uyanış yeri haline geldiğini açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Başka bir deyişle, bu çalışma, üniversite deneyiminin, eğer barışı teşvik etmek için anlamlı bir şekilde inşa edilirse, öğretmen adaylarının barış eğitimi uygulamaları için gerekli becerilerle donatılabileceğini, onların barış ve şiddet hakkında geçmişte öğrendikleri olumsuz bilgileri eleştirel olarak gözden geçirmelerine ve bu öğrendiklerini anlamlı ve olumlu bir biçimde dönüştürmelerine yardımcı olabileceğini savunuyor. Freirenin 1970 eleştirel kuram kapsamında bahsettiği eleştirel bilinç kavramı ve Girouxnun 1981, 1988, 2010 öğretmenleri dönüştürücü entelektüeller olarak kavramsallaştıran açıklamaları kullanılarak yürütülen bu çalışmanın bulguları, üniversitelerin kapsayıcı, barışçıl, demokratik ve çeşitli topluluklar inşa ettiğinde, öğrencilerinin ataerkil, politik ve sosyal söylemler tarafından yeniden üretilen sistematik baskı ve yapısallaştırılmış şiddet konusunda farkındalık kazanmalarına yardımcı olabileceğini ve profesyonel hayatlarına barışı eğitimini uygulamalarını dâhil etme motivasyonu geliştirmelerine katkı sağlayacağını göstermektedir.
