EĞİTİM ETKİNLİĞİNİ DEĞERLENDİRMEDE ÖĞRENCİ GERİ BİLDİRİMİNİN KULLANIMI

Abstract

Öğrenci geri bildirimleri 1900’lü yılların basından beri eğitim etkinliğini değerlendirmede en sık kullanılan yöntemlerden biridir. Bu yazının amacı anket yöntemi ile alınan öğrenci geri bildirimlerinin kullanım alanları ve yapılandırılması ile ilgili bilgi vermektir. Sık kullanılmasına rağmen formların geliştirilmesinden kaynaklanan, sonuçların güvenirliği ile ilgili sorunlar da yaşanmaktadır. Formların geliştirilmesinde öğrenciye, eğiticiye ve eğitime ilişkin baslıklar yer almalıdır. Objektif veri elde etmede ve kullanımının sürekliliğini sağlamada formların geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılmalıdır. Öğrenci geri bildirimlerinin uygulama amacı öğrencilere açıklanmalı ve uygulanma sıklığı amaca uygun olarak düzenlenmelidir. Öğrenci geri bildirimlerinin sınav dışı zamanlarda uygulanması önerilmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar eğitim programı ve eğiticinin eğitim etkinliklerinin iyileştirilme ve geliştirilme çalışmalarında kullanılmalıdır.
