Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında çalışan rehber öğretmenlerin kaynaştırma uygulamalarına ilişkin görüşlerini ve gereksinimlerini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla 8 rehber öğretmen ile derinlemesine görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşülen rehber öğretmenlerin okullarında bir ya da birden fazla özel gereksinimli çocuk bulunmaktadır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında görev yapan rehber öğretmenlerin kaynaştırma uygulamalarına ilişkin bilgi ve beceri sınırlılıkları olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca kaynaştırma uygulamalarına ilişkin olarak, “özel gereksinimli küçük çocukların özellikleri”, “eğitsel değerlendirme yapma ve Bireyselleştirilmiş Eğitim Programı-BEP hazırlama”, “davranış değiştirme yöntem ve stratejilerini belirleme” ve “kaynaştırma uygulamalarını gerçekleştirmede okul öncesi öğretmenine bilgi ve yardım” konularında gereksinimleri olduğu belirlenmiştir Bulgular alanyazın ve Türkiye’deki kaynaştırma uygulamaları çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the opinions and needs of preschool counselors about inclusive practices. For this purpose in-depth interviews were conducted with eight preschool counselors. In the schools where these counselors worked one or more children with special needs were enrolled. This study suggested that preschool counselors had limited knowledge and skills related to inclusive practices. Moreover, the primary needs of preschool counselors were about the topics of “characteristics of children with special needs,” “educational assessment and preparing Individualized Education Programs–IEPs, “deciding on which behavior modification method or strategy to use,” and “providing knowledge and support to preschool teachers about inclusive practices.” The results are discussed in line with the existing literature and inclusive practices in Turkey.

Key Words: Preschool education, inclusion, counselors, opinions and needs, qualitative research, in-depth interview.
