Abstract

This study aimed to examine the awareness of teacher candidates towards inclusive education. This mixed method study was performed with the convergent parallel mixed pattern. The sample of quantitative part of the study consisted of 708 teacher candidates in an education faculty determined by criterion sampling. The study group of the qualitative part of the research is 14 teacher candidates (preservice teachers) selected from among these participants. The research data were collected with Awareness Scale for Inclusive Education and Interview Form for Evaluation of Inclusive Education Course. The scale data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics, and the semi-structured interview data were analyzed by content analysis. The results revealed that the awareness of teacher candidates’ inclusive education was at a moderate level. In addition, the awareness level of the participants who had inclusive education training was higher than the participants who did not, and the female participants had higher awareness compared to the male participants. The interview results revealed that training on inclusive education increased teacher candidates’ awareness of its history, aims, the students it encompasses, and its applications. According to the results of the research, it has been suggested to expand the inclusive education provided to teachers before and during the service.

Öğretmen Adaylarının Kapsayıcı Eğitime Yönelik Farkındalıklarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, öğretmen adaylarının kapsayıcı eğitime yönelik farkındalıklarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Karma yaklaşıma sahip olan bu araştırma, yakınsayan paralel karma deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini, ölçüt örneklemesi ile belirlenen bir eğitim fakültesinde öğrenim gören 708 öğretmen adayı oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın nitel kısmının çalışma grubu ise, bu katılımcılar arasından seçilen 14 öğretmen adayıdır. Araştırmanın verilerinin elde edilmesinde Kapsayıcı Eğitime Yönelik Farkındalık Ölçeği, Kapsayıcı Eğitim Dersinin Değerlendirilmesine Yönelik Görüşme Formu kullanılmıştır. Ölçek verileri betimsel ve çıkarımsal istatistik, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme verileri ise içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada öğretmen adaylarının kapsayıcı eğitime yönelik farkındalıklarının orta düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, bu eğitime ilişkin öğrenim gören katılımcıların öğrenim görmeyen katılımcılara ve kadın katılımcıların erkek katılımcılara göre bu farkındalıklarının daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler sonucunda da kapsayıcı eğitime ilişkin öğrenim görmenin öğretmen adaylarının bu yaklaşımın tarihçesine, amaçlarına, dikkate aldığı öğrencilere ve uygulamalarına ilişkin farkındalığını artırdığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın bu sonuçları doğrultusunda öğretmenlere hizmet öncesinde ve esnasında sağlanan kapsayıcı eğitime ilişkin eğitimlerin yaygınlaştırılması önerilmiştir.
