This qualitative study aimed at revealing terrorism perceptions held by teacher educators working in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, and their opinions regarding the role of education that may play in ending terrorism. A total of 30 teacher educators took part in the study. The data were collected using a questionnaire involving open-ended questions in addition to demographics. The data were analyzed using the content analysis technique. The findings were discussed in terms of relevant literature and the social and political context of Turkey, which yielded generalizable implications to other countries with a similar social construct.
