Öğrenci Çeşitliliğine İlişkin Öğretmen Görüşleri

Abstract

Bireylerin çeşitliliğe yönelik olumlu yaklaşımlar sergilemeleri, insan haklarının korunması ve geliştirilmesi kapsamında her bireyin çalışma ve eğitim hakları ile birlikte demokrasiye katılım haklarına dair inançları daha da güçlenecektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, devlet okullarında görev yapan öğretmenlerin öğrenci çeşitliliğine ilişkin görüşlerini incelemektir. Araştırma, nitel yaklaşımlardan olgubilim deseni ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin öğrenci çeşitliliğine dair görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla katılımcılarla birebir görüşmeler içeren araştırmada, tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Toplamda 64 katılımcının yer aldığı çalışmada, verilerin toplanması için amaçlı örneklem yöntemlerinden tabakalı amaçlı örneklem yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadaki veriler bir görüşme formu vasıtası ile toplanmıştır. Görüşmelerin ortalama 20-35 dakika sürdüğü çalışmada, bütün verilerin toplanması yaklaşık altı ay sürmüştür. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Verilerin analiz edilmesinden sonra elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmenlerin görevlerini icra ederken en fazla zorlandıkları durumların başında öğrencilerin derslere olan ilgisizliklerinin geldiği tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin sınıfta kolaylıkla üstesinden geldikleri durumların ise öğretmen kaynaklı girişimler ve öğrencilerle ilgili durumlar olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre öğretmenlerin öğrenci çeşitliliğine dair bütün unsurları bir kazanıma dönüştürebilmeleri ve her boyutta gerekli bilgi ve becerilere sahip olabilmeleri için etkili kaynaklara ve ortamlara sahip olmaları gerektiği düşünülmüştür.

The collection of all data took about six months. The datawas analyzed usingthe descriptive analysis method. The findings of the study showed that interms of student diversity, teachers had the most difficult times in performing their duties whenstudents were reluctant towards learning activities in the classroom. It has been determined thatthe situations where the teachers were easily able to overcome were related to students’ featuresand teachers’ personal initiatives. Finally, the overall results suggested that teachers needed tohave effective resources and environments inorder to be able to have necessary knowledge andskills in every dimension of student diversity.
