Göçmen ve Mülteci Çocukların İskoçya’daki Genel Eğitim Sınıflarında Karşılaştıkları Engellere İlişkin Öğretmen Bakış Açıları

Abstract

Bu makale, İskoçya’daki genel eğitim sınıflarında mülteci ve göçmen öğrencilerin karşılaştıkları engellere ilişkin eğitimcilerin bakış açılarını incelemektedir. Ayrıca, eğitimcilerin “mülteci” ve “göçmen” kavramlarına ilişkin tanımlamalarının kapsayıcı eğitim uygulamalarını nasıl etkileyebileceğini araştırmaktadır. Çalışma eğitimcilerin bakış açısından çocukların dil gelişimleri, psikolojik-duygusal iyi oluşları ve sosyal deneyimlerini incelemekte ve eğitimcilerin, öğrencilerinin kimlik ve deneyimleriyle ilgili kavramsallaştırmalarına dair derinlemesine görüşler sunmaktadır. Yedi eğitimcinin deneyimlerinden ve gözlemlerinden elde edilen nitel verilere dayanarak bu makale, mülteci ve göçmen çocukların genel eğitim sınıflarında karşılaştıkları çeşitli engelleri – özellikle de eğitimcilerin mülteci ve göçmen kavramlarına dair oluşturduğu yanlış ya da eksik kavramsallaştırmaları- ortaya koymaktadır.

The Teachers' Perspectives of the Barriers That Migrant and Refugee Children Face in Mainstream Classrooms in Scotland

Abstract

This article explores teachers’ perspectives on the barriers encountered by refugee and migrant students within mainstream classrooms in Scotland. Furthermore, it investigates how teachers’ conceptualisations of “refugee” and “migrant” may influence educational inclusion. The study examines the issues of language, psychological-emotional well-being and social experiences of children throughout the perspectives of teachers and further explores their conceptualisations of teaachers by receiving insight from them. Drawing on from qualitative data from 7 teachers’ experiences and observations, this article highlights several barriers that refugee and migrant children face in mainstream classrooms including the teachers’ misconceptualisations of refugee and migrant.
