Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı COVID-19 pandemi sürecine ilişkin öğretmen görüşlerini belirlemektir. Araştırma nitel araştırma yaklaşımına uygun olarak fenomenoloji (olgubilim) deseninde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını Siirt ve Bolu illerinde görevli 15 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Katılımcıların belirlenmesinde maksimum çeşitlilik ve ölçüt örnekleme yöntemleri tercih edilmiştir. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen veriler içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna göre katılımcı öğretmenlerin uzaktan eğitim sürecini alternatiflik, zorunluluk, güçlük ve teknolojik bağlamda anlamlandırdıkları, avantajlarının yanı sıra dezavantajlarının da olduğunu ve başta psikolojik olmak üzere farklı etkiler bıraktığını ifade ettikleri belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca araştırmada öğretmenlerin COVID-19 pandemi sürecinde karşılaştıkları sorunlara yönelik alt yapı ve teknik destek ile teknoloji kullanımı konusunda eğitimler verilmesi yönünde çözüm önerilerinde bulundukları tespit edilmiştir
