Lisans Eğitiminde İyi Uygulamaların Kullanımına İlişkin Öğrencilerin ve Öğretim Üyelerinin Algıları Arasındaki Uyum: Gelişimsel Matematik Sınıflarında Öz-Yansıtma

Abstract

Lisans düzeyinde en iyi uygulamalar bellidir. Ancak öğretim üyeleri ile öğrencilerin bu uygulamaların eğitimde kullanımına ilişkin algıları arasındaki uyumsuzluk yeterince araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, Öğretim Üyesi ve Öğrenciler için Yedi İlke Envanteri’nden bir grup maddeye üç gelişimsel matematik öğretim elemanı ve öğrencilerinin verdiği yanıtları karşılaştırmak için güven aralıkları mekanizması kullanılmıştır. Güven aralıklarında gözlemlenen örüntüler, incelenen maddeler açısından (a) sınıf düzeyinde öğrenciler arasında tutarlı davranışlar olduğunu ve (b) öğrencilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının algılarının birkaç madde üzerinde ayrıştığını göstermiştir. Gelecekteki çalışmalar tüm maddeleri karşılaştırabilir veya uyumluluğu ölçmek için gözlemler yapabilir.

Agreement between Students’ and Their Instructors’ Perceived Use of Good Practices in Undergraduate Education: Self-Reflections in Developmental Mathematics Classrooms

Abstract

Best practices in undergraduate classrooms have been identified. However research on the congruence between practices of faculty members and their students is lacking. In this study, confidence intervals were used as a mechanism to compare responses of three developmental mathematics instructors and their students on a subset of items from the Seven Principles Faculty and Student Inventories. Patterns observed in the confidence intervals indicated that, among the items studied, (a) there were consistent behaviors among students across classes and (b) students’ and instructors’ perceptions were not in agreement on several items. Future studies could compare all items or conduct observations to measure congruency.
