Nowadays, teacher professionalization has been upgrading and the status, training and working conditions of teachers have received a great deal of interest for sustainable education. It is recognized that if teachers are equipped with adequate professional knowledge and personal practical knowledge, they will become active curriculum planners at schools ñ and will have the potentials to transform from ìcookî to ìchefî in teaching. Therefore, in-service training of teachers is one of the most effective ways of sharing professional experiences and a medium of sustainable education in the society. Based on the existing literature, the present study was conducted to investigate the preschool teachersí needs about in-service training courses (INSET) to suggest an effective INSET model based on their INSET needs assessment for sustainable education in a Turkish setting. A questionnaire consisting of fixed-response, open-ended and Likertstyle questions was administered to preschool teachers (n=133) currently working in Tokat, one of the vicinities of Turkey, to obtain information about their background characteristics and to determine their conceptions and needs for INSET for sustainable education. The study comprises two steps. As a first stage, socio-demographic structures of the INSET participants are analyzed in respect to different variables. In the second stage, the preferences of the INSET participants are analyzed regarding before in-service training, while in-service training and after in-service training process.

Carrying out the questionnaire, the items were degreed between 1-3 as Agree: 3, Partly Agree: 2, Disagree: 1. In order to put forth the proof of the validity of the questionnaire, Cronbach Alpha Interior Coherence Coefficient were calculated. Cronbach Alpha Interior Coherence Coefficient was found 0,75. Reliability Coefficient calculated with another reliability evaluation technique-Split-Half Technique was 0,81. These coefficients are in the degrees accepted good by the literature.During the analyzing of the data Variance Analysis were used. Average differences between attitudes were established. 0,05 Importance level was imbibed at controlling importance of Averages difference. In order to measure the effect of parental attitudes on children’s self-confidence developing Correlation Analysis was done and Pearson’s Correlation Co-efficiency was calculated. The findings from research were sum up below:In the end of the Variance Analysis, significant differences between groups were established. At the questionnaire we applied, the level parents’ democratic parental attitudes are higher than the other attitudes.In the end of the Correlation Analysis, it is established that democratic parental attitude has a meaningful and positive effect on self-confidence developing of children (5-6) go to pre-school education institutions.Also, it is established that other attitudes has significant and negative effect on self-confidence developing of children.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file.AbstractBebek ile anne-baba arasındaki ilişkiden doğan güven duygusu, insanın ileride kuracağı kişiler arası ilişkilerin temelini oluşturur.

Korelasyon analizi sonucunda ise demokratik ana baba tutumunun, okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarına devam eden 5–6 yaş grubu çocukların özgüven duygularının gelişimine anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
