Evaluation of Persuasion Techniques in Advertisements from the Perspective of Pre-Service Preschool Teachers Candidates
Abstract
This study aims to explore the awareness of perception management created by various persuasive techniques used in advertisements, which constitute a key component of media literacy skills, through the perspectives of prospective preschool teachers. Preschool teacher candidates were selected as participants since they serve as educators for children, the demographic most susceptible to the influence of advertisements. The research was designed as a phenomenological study, a qualitative research method. The participant group consisted of 30 preservice teachers enrolled in the preschool education program at a public university. Criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods, was employed to select the study group. The criteria included being enrolled in the preschool education program and having completed a media literacy course. Data were collected through student worksheets and semi-structured interview forms, and analyzed using content analysis. The findings revealed that the teacher candidates were able to effectively identify the persuasive techniques used in advertisements and critically analyze the various strategies employed. Moreover, it was found that they were not influenced by advertisements for non-essential products, such as those beyond basic needs.
