- Abstract
Values are integral to all aspects of life. In this sense, examining the perceptions of teacher candidates who are in charge of educational activities related to values education in the classrooms is essential. This study aimed to discuss teacher candidates' metaphorical perceptions of the concept of "value." The sample comprised 160 teacher candidates studying at Gaziantep University Faculty of Education in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. A phenomenological design was employed in this qualitative study. The participants were asked to fill in the blanks in those statements: "Value is like....., because it is ...". The collected data were processed by content analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis techniques. The results showed that the participants generated 84 metaphors for the concept of 'value'. The most frequently mentioned metaphor was 'Culture.' Besides, the reasons underlying the metaphors were examined and classified under six conceptual categories based on Spranger's Value Classification (1928). According to the findings, they produced the most metaphors related to the concept of value under the 'Social Values Category.' The findings proved that metaphors were important tools in revealing teacher candidates' perceptions of educational concepts, and necessary suggestions were made for their use in future research.
