Özet

Problem Statement: In today's global society, international student mobility is becoming more important in terms of its outcomes such as increasing student participation and involvement in international education and reshaping teacher education in many countries. It also might lead to a strong collaboration between countries and may allow universities in Turkey to gain a broader international perspective in their educational practices and policies. Since the student population around the world has been rapidly becoming diverse in terms of culture, religion, and race, teacher education programs need to educate teachers in a way that they will be aware of cultural differences, be open-minded, be respectful to other cultures, and be willing to make instructional decisions to increase tolerance in their classrooms.
