Abstract	The Preschool Education Program renewed with the contributions of the Ministry of National Education in 2013 prioritizes participation of mainstreaming students in daily activities. Furthermore, universities’ teacher training programs include special education courses and provide education on how to include mainstreaming students in the activities along with other children. The purpose of this study is to determine preschool teacher candidates’ opinions on some concepts regarding special education. A hundred students who are studying preschool teaching participated in this qualitative study. Participants were asked questions about their opinions on some concepts regarding special education; working with children with special needs and about mainstreaming applications in their schools that they are practising teaching. Results show that the participants have right and similar knowledge of the concepts of mainstreaming, talented and gifted children, and wrong knowledge of the concept of special needs. For the participants, the most difficult special need group to work with is intellectually-disabled children and the easiest group is the children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In accordance with the results of this study it is recommended to increase the number of special education courses in the preschool teaching undergraduate programs, include application courses for mainstreaming in universities and contribute to the literature with more extensive studies.
