In this study, we address how student teachers can facilitate democratic engagement in school. The demo-cratic engagement is seen through the lenses of an increasingly digital world through which both teachers and children live in. 42 third-year student teachers systematically prepared to use social media as an illus-trative pedagogical tool in their practice placement period. By using the notions of “thin” and “thick” de-mocracy, we are analyzing student teachers’ understanding of democracy and democratic engagement. Our findings suggest that the students view democracy in a thin way, and this lack of democratic competence may influence their classroom practices as future teachers. The Council of Europe’s Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture was used to analyse the student teachers’ competence to connect the use of social media as a digital and pedagogical tool in promoting democratic engagement. The findings disclose that students vary in their capacity to make use of social media when promoting democratic en-gagement. In our closing discussion, we argue that these results, primarily, pose serious challenges for teacher education.

Media Environments

Social media, together with the technological advances, bring a different dimension to the intercultural communication and shape the cultural perspectives and perceptions of individuals. It is seen as an important requirement that student teachers, who will take responsibility for the educational processes that include different cultural structures, should be sensitive to and informed about cultural differences. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the effects of using social media environments on student teachers’ perceptions regarding different cultures. This paper evaluates the perceptions of student teachers regarding multicultural education with respect to their use of social media environments. The study was carried out with 2152 senior student teachers from the education faculties of 10 state universities from each geographical region of Turkey in the fall semester of 2016-2017 academic year. In the study, inferential statistical approach was used to analyze the collected data. The results of the study indicated that the student teachers’ perceptions regarding the outcomes of multicultural education showed a statistically significant difference in terms of their purpose of using social media sites. In addition, the student teachers’ perceptions regarding the influence of university education on multicultural education showed a statistically significant difference in terms of the most frequently used social media site, while their perceptions regarding equality and justice showed a statistically significant difference with respect to the most frequently used social media site as well as with respect to the purpose of using social media sites.
