Ahlak Eğitimine Feminist Bir Yaklaşım: Özen Yaklaşımı

Öz

Ahlak eğitimi yaklaşımlarından biri olan özen yaklaşımı (care approach), bazı feministler tarafından ortaya konulan özen etiğinden yola çıkılarak geliştirilmiştir. Bu ahlak eğitimi yaklaşımını anlamak için öncelikle özen etiğinin ne olduğu ve onun özellikleri bilinmelidir. Bu çalışmada birinci olarak özen etiğinin özellikleri ve diğer etik türleriyle olan ilişkisi ele alınacaktır. İkinci olarak bu etiğe dayalı olarak geliştirilen ahlak eğitiminde özen yaklaşımının temel özellikleri ve bu yaklaşımın ahlak eğitimi için önerdiği model ele alınacaktır. Üçüncü olarak, özen yaklaşımının diğer ahlak eğitimi yaklaşımlarıyla olan benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları ortaya konulacaktır. Son olarak ise özen yaklaşımının sınıf ve okul ortamında nasıl kullanılabileceğiyle ilgili öneriler sunulacaktır.
