AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Chicago, IL, Apr 13-16, 2023 and Virtual, May 4-5, 2023)
The purpose of this study is to investigate how a bilingual education program would conserve the cultural heritage, linguistic knowledge, religious, and ethnic identity of minority peoples. This study utilized an explanatory sequential mixed method, conducted in two phases: a quantitative phase followed by a qualitative phase. For quantitative data collection, there were 280 participants. For qualitative data collection, 12 participants were interviewed. Both quantitative and qualitative data reflected that a bilingual education program could promote peace among the members of society, increase the educational success of students, and contribute to social justice including equal educational rights. Such as system might also increase brotherhood between different ethnic groups in society and perhaps resolve the conflicts among them in Turkey.
