STUDENT GROUP LEADERS INFLUENCE ON ORGANISATION OF GROUP MEMBERS FOR GROUP ACTIVITIES IN CO-OPERATIVE LEARNING IN BIOLOGY CLASSROOMS

Abstract

Bu araştırmada Türkiye’deki ortaöğretim biyoloji sınıflarında işbirlikli öğrenme yöntemlerinde grup liderlerinin etkisi araştırılmıştır. 36 kişilik biyoloji derslerinde sekiz hafta boyunca çevre ünitesi ayrılıp-birleşme tekniği ve öğrenci takımları başarı grupları yöntemleri uygulanarak işlenmiştir. Öğrenciler dörderli gruplara ayrılmış ve her gruptan bir grup lideri seçilmiştir. Veriler, grup liderleri ve üyeleri ile yapılan mülakatlar ve bir grubun sekiz hafta boyunca video kayıtları ile izlenmesi ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırma grup liderlerinin grup aktivitelerini organize etmede ilişki veya iş bağlantılı yaklaşım benimsediklerini ortaya koymuştur. Bu araştırma “İşbirlikli öğrenme yöntemlerinin grup liderleri aracılığı ile yaygınlaştırılması ve süreç içerisinde meydana gelecek problemlere çözüm üretilmesi” adlı TÜBİTAK tarafından desteklenen, Diyarbakır’daki beş ortaöğretim okulunun 10 sınıfında 466 öğrencinin katıldığı 3 yıllık çalışmanın bir ön araştırmasıdır
