The purpose of this study was to establish the direction of teacher education based on global citizenship education competence studying the perception of pre-service teachers and in-service teachers on global citizenship education competence. The 2018 survey was conducted for a week beginning September 11. The respondents who were 200 pre-service teachers and 200 in-service teachers were selected from Seoul and Incheon. The researcher distributed and collected the questionnaire directly. The results of the study were as follows. First, pre-service teachers showed higher cognition than in-service teacher in both global citizenship competence and early childhood global citizenship competence. Second, among pre-service teachers, ones who had experienced global citizenship education showed higher cognition level in both categories than others. On the other hand, in-service teachers who had experienced global citizenship education did not show any difference of cognition in both global citizenship competence and early childhood global citizenship competence. This study was expected to reveal the perceptions of pre-service teachers and when training teachers, the data provided more specific details for early childhood educator curriculums about global citizenship education.
