Türkiye’de Özel Yeteneklilere Neyi, Nasıl Öğretmeli ve Öğrenmeyi Nasıl Değerlendirmeli? : Bir Paydaşlar Görüşü Çalışması

Year 2017, Volume: 2017 Issue: 9, 190 - 203, 31.10.2017

Abstract

Özel
yetenekli öğrencilerin eğitimi ile ilgili veliler ve öğretmenler farklı
beceriler, konular, öğretim şekilleri ve değerlendirme yolları önermektedirler.
Bu öneriler mevcut öğretim ve öğretimin çıktılarının kalitesini değerlendirmede
temel oluşturmaktadır. Böylelikle bu çalışmada özel yetenekli öğrencilerin eğitiminde
söz sahibi olan iki paydaş (Veliler, BİLSEM öğretmenleri) grubun öğretim içeriği,
öğretim süreci ve değerlendirmeye ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.
Araştırmaya 350 özel yetenekli çocuğu olan veli ve 157 BİLSEM öğretmeni katılmıştır.
Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak dört farklı anket kullanılmıştır: “Özel
Yeteneklilere Okuldakilerden Farklı Hangi Beceriler Öğretilmeli?”, “Özel Yeteneklilere
Okuldakilerden Farklı Hangi Konular Öğretilmeli?”, “Özel Yeteneklilere Hangi
Yollarla Öğretim Yapılmalı?” ve “Özel Yeteneklilerin Öğrenmesi Nasıl Değerlendirilmeli?”.
Anketlerde 1’den 40’a kadar sıralanmış boşluklar verilmiştir, en önemli görülen
görüşün 1. sıradaki boşluğa, daha az önemli olanların ise sırasıyla diğer boşluklara
yazılması gerekmektedir. Katılımcılar öğretilmesi gereken becerilerle ilgili 85
görüş, öğretilmesi gereken konularla ilgili 133 görüş önermişlerdir. Öğretim yöntemleri
için 50 farklı görüş,değerlendirme için ise 27 farklı görüş önermişlerdir.
