Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between child development undergraduate students' global citizenship levels and their attitudes towards children's rights and whether they differ according to different independent variables. In this study, relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample of the study consisted of 197 child development undergraduate students who were selected by using the random sampling model. Demographic Information Form, The Global Citizenship Scale developed by Morais and Ogden (2011) and adapted to Turkish by Şahin and Çermik (2014) and Attitude Scale on Children's Rights developed by Karaman Kepenekci (2006) were used. As a result of the study, it was found that undergraduate students’ global citizenship levels and attitudes towards children rights were above the average, and academic average scores of the undergraduate students showed a significant difference. Finally, it was determined that the students' attitudes towards children's rights increased as the total global citizenship scores increased.
