Abstract

Öz: Çalışma, bir anda küresel bir kriz haline gelen Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde verilen özel eğitimin öğretmen ve ebeveyn görüşleri doğrultusunda incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma çeşitlerinden tipik durum çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında 2019-2020 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde Afyon/Karahisar il Millî Eğitim Müdürlüğü’ne bağlı özel eğitim kurumlarında görev yapan 14 özel eğitim öğretmeni ve 21 ebeveyn ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Çalışmada özel eğitim öğretmelerinin ve özel gereksinimi olan çocukların ebeveynlerinin pandemi sürecinde verilen eğitime ilişki görüşlerini incelenmek için yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Veriler, Temmuz-Ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında, öğretmen ve ebeveynlerin uygun olduğu zamanlarda telefon ile yapılan görüşmelerle toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde içerik analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, pandemi sürecinde özel gereksinimi olan çocukların eğitimlerinin olumsuz etkilendiğini göstermektedir. Bu olumsuzlukları gidermek için öğretmen ve ebeveyn boyutunda yapılması gereken önemli müdahaleler bulunduğu söylenebilir.

"SPECIAL EDUCATION" BY THE TEACHER AND THE PARENT DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC PROCESS

Abstract

The study was conducted in order to examine the special education given during the Covid-19 pandemic, which suddenly became a global crisis, in line with the opinions of teachers and parents. Typical case study method, one of the qualitative research types, was used in the study. Within the scope of the research, 21 parents and 14 special education teachers who work in private education institutions affiliated to Afyon/Karahisar Provincial Directorate of National Education were interviewed in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. In the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted to examine the opinions of special education teachers and parents of children with special needs regarding the education provided during the pandemic process. The data were collected between July and August 2020, by phone calls whenever available to teachers and parents. Content analysis technique was used in the analysis of the data obtained. The results obtained from the study show that the education of children with special needs was negatively affected during the pandemic process. It can be said that there are important interventions that need to be done at the level of teacher and parent in order to eliminate these negativities.
