Year 2015, Issue: 8, 103 - 116, 24.07.2015

Abstract

This study aims at constructing the remembrances of the 1960-1970 period Yozgat High School graduates about their teachers who were one of the leading elements of education. Yozgat High School has a historical importance in terms of its education and architecture and witnessed the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Young Turkish Republic. The graduates of the period recall their teachers due to the fact that their teachers were qualified, idealistic, disiplined, had nicknames shaped with their educational practices, discriminating their students coming from the center or periphery. The narratives of them become prominent not only for the educational practices of the teachers that have vital significance for their remembrances but also for the history of educational institutions. Oral history methodology whose contributions are remarkable in explaining the significance of teachers’ educational practices taking place in the memories of their students was used and people were reached among the Yozgat High School graduates of 1960-1970 period via snow ball method. Totally 22 interviews were actualized, two of them were for testing. Unlike the real names of the interviewed people, the narratives of the graduates of the period were presented in their original form. These narratives delineate how the educational practices become traction in taking place in the minds of todays’ 60s year old elders.

Abstract

Bu çalışma, 1960-1970 Dönemi Yozgat Lisesi mezunlarının, eğitimin temel ögelerinden biri olan öğretmenleri hakkında hatırladıklarını kurgulamayı amaçlamaktadır. Yozgat Lisesi eğitimi ve mimarisi bakımından tarihsel bir öneme sahip ve Osmanlı’dan Genç Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ne geçişe şahitlik etmiş bir okuldur. Dönemin mezunları, öğretmenlerini nitelikli, idealist, disiplinli, eğitim uygulamaları ile şekillenen lakapları, merkez veya çevreden gelmelerinden kaynaklı ayrımcılıklarından dolayı hatırlamaktadırlar. Onların anlatıları sadece öğrencilerin anımsamalarında hayati önemi olan öğretmenlerinin eğitim uygulamaları için önemli değil aynı zamanda eğitim kurumlarının tarihi için de önemlidir. Öğrencilerin hafızalarında yer edinen öğretmenlerin eğitim pratiklerinin açıklanmasında kayda değer katkıları olan sözlü tarih yöntemi kullanıldı ve 1960-1970 dönemi Yozgat Lisesi mezunlarından olan kişilere kartopu yöntemi ile ulaşıldı. İkisi deneme olmak kaydıyla toplam 22 kişi ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirildi. Görüşme yapılan kişilerin gerçekle isimlerinin aksine, dönemin mezunlarının anlatıları özgün halleriyle sunuldu. Bu anlatılar, eğitim pratiklerinin nasıl bugün 60lı yaşlarında olan kişilerin hafızalarında yer edindiğini betimlemektedir
