Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, özel yetenekli öğrencileri genel eğitim sınıflarında destekleyecek sınıf öğretmenlerinin sahip olmaları gereken yeterliklerini araştırmak ve ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu temel amaca ulaşmak için araştırmacı, nitel araştırma desenine ilişkin sırasıyla bir durum çalışması ve bir eylem araştırması gerçekleştirmiştir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları beş sınıf öğretmeni, özel yetenekli öğrenciler, ebeveynleri, okul yöneticileri ve diğer sınıf ve ilkokul öğretmenleridir. Durum çalışması ve eylem araştırması aşamalarında veri toplamak için yapılandırılmamış görüşmeler, gözlemler, odak grup görüşmeleri, dokümanlar ve ürünlerden faydalanılmıştır. Araştırma sürecinde yaklaşık 44 saat görüşme, 70 ders saati gözlem ile 311 adet doküman ve/veya ürün toplanmıştır. Toplanan veriler içerik analizi ile betimleyici analize tabi tutulmuştur. İçerik analizi için hesaplanan kodlayıcılar arası güvenirlik katsayısı 0,78 olarak bulunmuştur. Yapılan analiz sonucunda dört farklı aşamada sekiz farklı yeterlik alanı altında otuz dört yeterlik ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Bulgular ilgili alan yazın ışığında tartışılmış; uygulamaya ve sonraki araştırmalara yönelik bazı önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
