Abstract

Induction for newly recruited teachers is considered an important phase
of professional development of in-service teachers. Carefully planned and
implemented induction can act as a bridge between pre-service and in-service
teacher education and foster the effective identity formation of newly
recruited teachers. This descriptive study explores the effectiveness of an
induction program designed for newly recruited teachers. The data for the study
comes from semi-structured interviews with the participants, exploring
different components of induction and how useful these components were
perceived by the participants. The participants were generally content with all
components of the induction and expressed positive views regarding the
induction.

MESLEĞE YENİ BAŞLAYAN ÖĞRETMENLERİN ÇALIŞMA ORTAMINA UYUM SAĞLAMALARINDA İŞE ALIŞTIRMA PROGRAMININ ROLÜ: ANADOLU ÜNİVERSİTESİ ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

İşe alıştırma programı hizmete yeni başlayan öğretmenlerin
mesleki gelişimlerinin önemli bir aşaması olarak kabul edilmektedir. Özenle
planlanan ve uygulanan işe alıştırma programları hizmet öncesi ile hizmet-içi
eğitim arasında bir köprü görevi görmekte ve hizmete yeni başlayan
öğretmenlerin mesleki kimliklerinin oluşumunu desteklemektedir. Bu betimsel
çalışmanın amacı mesleğe yeni başlayan öğretmenlere yönelik bir işe alıştırma
programını etkililiğini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın verileri katılımcılar ile
gerçekleştirilen ve programın katılımcılar tarafından nasıl algılandığına
ilişkin yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları
katılımcıların işe alıştırma programının bütün unsurlarını beğendiklerini ve
söz konusu program ile ilgili olumlu görüşleri olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
