Therefore, adding the trainings aimed at creating disaster awareness in primary school will be an important step. However, the teachers who will give disaster awareness training in the courses should also be aware of the disaster. The aim of this research is to Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Faculty of Education Classroom Teaching 3rd and the 4th to evaluate the disaster awareness levels of the class students and to determine the impact of disaster awareness education on the students' disaster awareness levels. A single-group pretest-posttest experimental pattern was used from quantitative research methods. After pre-test data were collected, they were trained and posttest data were collected with the same data collection tool. According to the results of the related sample t-test analysis, disaster awareness training positively increased the participants' disaster awareness levels (t=-8,137; p=0.00). The arithmetic average of the post-test total last-score the disaster awareness level scale is higher than the arithmetic average of the pre-test total scores (Xpre-test=12.23± 4.86; Xpost-test =17.94± 3.26 ).
