The purpose of the symposium is to share experiences and practices in the field of ‘Primary School Teaching and Teacher Training’, to gather academicians, teachers and students in the field with the aim of carrying the social interaction to the peak among, to manage collaboration and coordination and to create new aspects and research interests. For the aim of increasing the quality of the symposium, we are going to try hard to achieve participation of notable scientists both from our country and abroad. We are going to spread a huge effort on discussing and evaluating current problems of Primary School Teaching and Teacher Training in details and creating the required scientific atmosphere during the symposium.  Within this context; there are going to be presentations, conferences, panels, poster presentations and workshops.
