Öğretmen Adaylarının Eğitim Görüşlerinin Farklı Değişkenlere Göre İncelenmesi

Öz

Bu çalışma öğretmen adaylarının demografik özellikleri, sosyal ve kültürel değerleri ile eğitime ilişkin görüşlerinin incelendiği geniş çaplı bir araştırmada elde edilen verilerin bir kısmının analizinden oluşmaktadır. Türkiye genelinde 51 eğitim fakültesinde öğrenime yeni başlayan 18, 226 öğretmen adayının eğitim görüşleri ve bu görüşlerin şekillenmesinde rol oynayabilecek farklı değişkenler ele alınmıştır. Eğitim görüşleri muhafazakâr ve liberal olmak üzere iki ana grup etrafında irdelenmiş ve eğitim görüşleri ile cinsiyet, yaş, mezun olunan lise türü, yerleşim yeri, anne-baba eğitim durumu ve anne-baba mesleği arasındaki ilişkiler aranmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular cinsiyet, yaş, mezun olunan okul, yerleşim yeri ve anne baba eğitim düzeyinin öğretmen adaylarının eğitim görüşleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Anne- baba iş durumu ise öğretmen adaylarının eğitim görüşleri üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip değildir. Bu sonuçların, eğitim fakültelerinde öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarının eğitime bakış açıları ve eğitim görüşünü şekillendiren unsurların neler olduğunun bilinmesi bakımından önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir

Investigating Educational Views of Prospective Teachers According to Different Variables

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze part of the findings of the larger study conducted to investigate prospective teachers’ demographic characteristics, socio-cultural values, and educational views. The study aimed to examine the effect of certain background variables on educational beliefs of first-year students at the faculties of education in Turkey. Data was collected from 18,226 first-year students from 51 faculties of education through a questionnaire developed by the research team. Educational views were grouped into two categories: conservative and liberal. Findings indicated that gender, age, the type of school graduated the place of residence and parents’ educational level had a significant effect on educational views of prospective teachers, yet parents’ occupation did not have a significant effect. The findings of the study provided insight into the factors that shape educational views of prospective teachers. Furthermore, they have some implications for the improvement of teacher education programs in Turkey
