Öğretmenlerin Perspektifinden Sosyal Hayatta Kaybolan Değerler

Abstract

Modern dünyadaki hızlı sosyokültürel dönüşüm, sosyal değerlerin yavaş yavaş aşınmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışma, bu olgunun sosyokültürel açıdan karmaşık bir çevrede nasıl yaşandığını incelemeyi amaçlamıştır. Araştırma, son on beş yılda yoğun göç, güvenlik sorunları ve doğal afetler gibi toplumsal travmalara maruz kalan Kilis'te yürütülmüştür. Bu fenomenolojik çalışmada 53 öğretmenle yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik ve betimsel analiz yöntemleriyle incelenmiştir. Bulgular saygı, hoşgörü, adalet, sevgi, ahlak, yardımseverlik ve dürüstlük gibi temel değerlerin giderek yok olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Teknoloji ve modern yaşamın getirdiği dönüşüm, aile yapısındaki değişiklikler, bireyselleşme ve ekonomik baskılar bu duruma neden olan temel faktörlerdir. Özellikle komşuluk, dayanışma ve merhamet gibi değerlerin aşınması, toplumsal dokuda meydana gelen derin bozulmayı göz önüne sermektedir. Öğretmenler rol model olmayı kendileri için öncelikli bir değer olarak görmektedir. Bununla birlikte öğrencilerin sahip olması gereken en önemli değerleri saygı, sevgi ve dürüstlük olarak belirlemişlerdir. Çalışma, farkındalık yaratmanın ve müfredatı uygulamalı etkinliklerle zenginleştirmenin önemini vurgulamaktadır.

Lost Values in Social Life from the Perspective of Teachers

Abstract

The rapid sociocultural transformation in the modern world is leading to a gradual erosion of social values. This study aimed to examine how this phenomenon occurs in a socio-culturally complex environment. The research was conducted in Kilis, exposed to social traumas like intense migration, security issues, and natural disasters over the past fifteen years. In this phenomenological study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 53 teachers and the data were analyzed using content and descriptive analysis. The findings reveal that fundamental values such as respect, tolerance, justice, love, morality, helpfulness, and honesty are gradually disappearing due to factors like the transformation imposed by technology and modern life, changes in family structure, individualization, and economic pressures. The erosion of values, particularly neighborliness, solidarity, and compassion, exposes the profound deterioration occurring in the social fabric. While teachers see role modeling as a priority value for themselves; they identified respect, love, and honesty as the most important values that students should possess. The study stresses the importance of increasing awareness, incorporating practical exercises into the national curriculum, fostering collaboration between schools and families, and making mindful use of media resources.
