Examination of Pedagogical Formation Certificate Program Students' Educational Beliefs
Abstract
This study, which examines the educational beliefs
of students who participate in the pedagogical formation certificate program,
is a descriptive study in the correlational
survey model. Four hundred sixty-six students (305
females, 161 males) who attended the pedagogical formation certificate program
at Çukurova University participated in the study voluntarily. Data were
collected using the Educational Beliefs Scale (SCI) developed by Yılmaz,
Altınkurt & Çokluk (2011) and analyzed using the Mann Whitney U and Kruskal
Wallis H tests. As a result of the study, the belief levels of the students in
the existentialist and progressive education philosophies were determined to be
higher while the belief levels in the essentialism education philosophy were
determined to be lower. The obtained
results demonstrated that the participants, who were over 30 years of age, were
married and who had children, adopted the existentialist educational belief,
while the male participants adopted the essentialist educational belief more. Essentialism
education philosophy was significantly higher in students who graduated from
science, literature and sports sciences. The teaching experience created a
significant difference in the educational beliefs of the students, and the
students who worked in the education center and study center were observed to
adopt the essentialism education philosophy more. According to the obtained results,
the most effective factors in the development of students' educational beliefs
are attitudes and behaviors of teachers giving them lessons during their
education, the methods and techniques used by teachers, and the central
examination system.
