The study group consists of preschool teacher trainees volunteering as preschool classroom practitioners in ÇABAÇAM while attending Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Education Faculty Preschool Education Teaching Undergraduate Program. 13 Teacher trainees were selected by the researcher for the project. Semi-structured interviews were held with the volunteer teacher trainees between October 1st and November 1st 2020. The analysis of the data gathered was done by content analysis.
