Abstract

Bu çalışmada; ilköğretim sınıf öğretmenlerinin, öğrencilerinin gelişimi üzerine alternatif değerlendirme yaklaşımlarının etkisini değerlendiren görüşleri ortaya konmaktadır. Çalışma 2005–2006 ve 2006–2007 eğitim-öğretim yıllarında Ankara, Eskişehir, Manisa ve Sivas illerinde, merkez ve köylerde bulunan ilköğretim okullarında görev yapan 70 öğretmen ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Özel durum yönteminin kullanıldığı çalışmada öğretmenlerin görüşlerini belirlemek için açık uçlu sorulardan oluşan anket kullanılmıştır. Anketten elde edilen veriler kategorilere ayrılarak farklı boyutlar altında toplanmış ve yorumlanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda; öğretmenler alternatif değerlendirme yaklaşımlarının öğrencilerinin bilişsel, duyuşsal ve psikomotor alanda becerilerini geliştirdiğini savunmuşlardır. Araştırmaya katılan öğretmenlerin %70’i kullanılan değerlendirme teknik ve araçların öğrencileri araştırmaya teşvik ettiğini belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca kullanılan bu yaklaşıma yönelik olarak öğrencilerin tepkilerini de ortaya koymuşlardır.
