A Comparison of Teacher Interpersonal Profiles in General and Vocational Schools Depending on the Students’ Perceptions

Year 2007, Volume: 22 Issue: 22, 64 - 72, 01.02.2007

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to examine associations between Turkish vocational and general education students' perceptions of their science teachers' interpersonal behaviour and degree to which these perceptions are different (according to school type) taking into account other background variables. Data were collected utilizing the adapted version of the Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction (QTI). A total of students 1377 (Grades 9 to 11) in 49 science classes at two types of schools (general and vocational education) were involved in the study. Correlation and regression analyses revealed that students’ perceptions were different in both education types. Compared to general high school Uncertain/ Aggressive and Repressive profiles were found little higher in number in vocational schools. Beside these, it was the first time that Uncertain/Aggressive teacher profile was found in our country in this study.

Genel ve Meslek Liselerinde Öğrenci Algılarına Göre Belirlenen Kişilerarası Öğretmen Profillerinin Karşılaştırılması

Year 2007, Volume: 22 Issue: 22, 64 - 72, 01.02.2007

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, genel liselerde ve meslek liselerindeki öğrencilerin, fen dersleri öğretmenlerinin kişilerarası davranışlarını algılarını; sınıf, öğretmen ve öğrencinin bulunduğu okul tipine göre belirlemek ve bu sonuçlara dayanarak, kişilerarası öğretmen profilleri açısından okul tiplerini incelemektir. Çalışmanın örneklemi, Bursa ilinde bulunan üç genel lise ve iki meslek lisesinin 49 sınıfında öğrenim görmekte olan öğrencilerden oluşmuştur. Çalışmaya 9., 10. ve 11. sınıflarda öğrenim gören 1377 öğrenci ve bu sınıflara ders veren toplam 24 öğretmen katılmıştır. Veriler Öğretmen Etkileşim Ölçeğinin (QTI) Türkçe versiyonu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, betimleyici ve yorumlayıcı istatistik yöntemleri ve ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Aynı zamanda, ölçeğin farklı boyutları sınıf seviyesinde analiz edilmiş ve var olan profiller ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Diğer öğretmen profillerine örneklemde daha az rastlanmakla birlikte Belirsiz/Gergin ve Bastırıcı/Engelleyici öğretmen tiplerine meslek liselerinde biraz daha fazla rastlanmıştır. Ayrıca ülkemizdeki daha önceki çalışmalarda rastlanmamış olan Belirsiz/Gergin profili ilk kez bulunmuştur.
