Abstract

This paper reports findings from a study on student and teacher perceptions of misbehaviour. Data were gathered via questionnaires, observations and semi-structured interviews from 6 teachers and 22 misbehaving students in six different schools with three different socio-economic levels. The data revealed that misbehaving students’ explanations and interpretations of misbehaviour, their causes and the interventions strategies used did not allways share similar attributes with those of their teachers

Keywords

misbehaviour, student and teacher perspectives, types and causes, socioeconomic levels, intervention strategies, classroom management

Abstract

Bu araştırma, 7. sınıf ingilizce derslerinde karşılaşılan problem davranışlara yönelik öğrenci ve öğretmen görüşlerini inceleyen nitel ve nicel veri toplama araçlarının kullanıldığı bir çalışmadır. Araştırma verileri, 3 farklı sosyo ekonomik düzeydeki okullardan gözlem, görüşme ve anket formları aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya 6 öğretmen ve onların araştırmacılar ile birlikte belirledikleri sürekli problemli davranış gösteren 22 öğrencisi katılmışlardır. Araştırma bulgularından elde edilen sonuçlar, öğrenci ve öğretmenlerin problemli davranışların nedenlerine ilişkin görüşleri arasında bazı farklılıklar olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca öğrencilerin öğretmenlerinin kullandıkları problemli davranışlarla başetme yöntemlerine ilişkin görüşleri de belirlenmiştir
