Investigation of Primary Education Teachers’ Teaching Profession Perceptions with Respect to Teaching Styles Preference
Abstract
In this research, it was aimed to examine primary education teachers’ perceptions
about teaching profession according to their teaching styles preference. “Teaching Styles
Inventory” which was developed by Grasha (1996), adapted to Turkish by Uredi (2006) used
to determine the teachers’ teaching styles preferences. To determine teachers’ perceptions
about teaching profession, “Teaching Profession Perception Inventory” which developed
by Şişman and Acat (2003) were used in this research. The assessment tools were applied
to 1306 teachers from 49 primary schools in Istanbul by the years of education 2004-2005
and 2005-2006. Research results showed that primary education teachers’ perceptions
about teaching profession according to their teaching styles preference were meaningfully
different at p<.01 level. The teachers’ perceptions about teaching profession who preferred
facilitator/personal model/expert teaching styles were obtained to be higher than others.
