Nitel Araştırma Yöntemleri: Sosyal Bilgiler Lisansüstü Öğrencilerinin Algısına İlişkin Fenomenolojik Bir Çalışma

Öz

Bu araştırmada; bilime, araştırma yöntemleri arasındaki farklılığa, nitel araştırmanın bilime etkilerine ve post-pozitivizmin insanın dünya görüşü üzerindeki etkilerine yönelik algının ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji deseni işe koşulmuştur. Araştırmanın katılımcı grubu, ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak Türkiye’deki bir üniversitede sosyal bilgiler eğitimi alanında lisansüstü öğrenim gören on beş kişiden oluşturulmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında yapılandırılmamış gözlem ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler, içerik analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonunda öğrencilerin bilimsel algısının bilimin evrensel ilkeleriyle uyuştuğu; nitel araştırmanın işlevine yönelik algısının nitel araştırmanın amaçlarına uygun olduğu; nicel ve nitel yöntemler arasındaki farkları yeterli düzeyde algıladıkları; nitel araştırmanın bilime etkisi ve post-pozitivist paradigmanın dünya görüşüne etkisi konularında benzer algılara sahip oldukları saptanmıştır. Araştırmada ulaşılan sonuçlar ışığında; öğrencilere nitel araştırmaya ilişkin daha fazla öğrenme yapabilecekleri koşullar oluşturulması gibi önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Qualitative Research Methods: A Phenomenological Research on the Perception of Social Studies Post-Graduate Students

Abstract

In this research, it is aimed to show the perception intended science, the difference between research methods, the effects of qualitative research on science and the effects of post-positivism on the worldview. In the research, the phenomenological pattern was used. The participant group is composed of fifteen post-graduate students who are studying social studies education at a university in Turkey by using criteria sampling method. The data collected by participant observation and semi-structured interview techniques were analyzed by content analysis. The findings reached are as follows; The scientific perception matches with fundamentals of science. The perception of the function of qualitative research is consistent with the goals of qualitative research. There is a similar perception about the impact of qualitative research on science and the impact of post-positivism on worldview. By the results, suggestions such as creating conditions in which students can learn more about qualitative research were made.
