Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de bir devlet üniversitesinde yabancı diller yüksekokulunda mesleğe yeni başlayan öğretim görevlilerine verilen hizmet içi eğitim programını, uygulama ve etkinlik açısından değerlendirmektir. Bu çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinin kullanıldığı bir durum çalışmasıdır. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yöntemi ile programa katılan 12 öğretim görevlisinden toplanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda uygulanan hizmet içi programın, mesleğe yeni başlayan öğretim görevlilerinin kendilerini yetkin hissetmelerine ve mesleki açıdan gelişmelerine önemli ölçüde katkı sağladığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının, yükseköğretim kurumlarında çalışan yöneticilere, göreve yeni başlayan öğretim görevlilerinin yetiştirilmesine yönelik etkili hizmet içi eğitim programları geliştirmeleri veya mevcut programları iyileştirmeleri için ihtiyaç duyacakları gerekli bilgileri sağlaması beklenmektedir.

Evaluation of an In-service Training Program Given to the New Faculty at a Higher Education Institution

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an in-service training program given to the new faculty working at the School of Foreign Languages at a public university in Turkey in terms of implementation and effectiveness. The study adopted a qualitative case study design. The data were collected by semi-structured interview method from 12 lecturers who attended the in-service training program. At the end of the study, it was found that the in-service training program has contributed significantly to the new faculty members’ feeling competent and their professional development. The results of this study are expected to provide the administrators working in higher education institutions with the necessary information they will need to develop effective in-service training programs for the training of new faculty members or to improve existing programs.
