Görme Yetersizliği Olan Çok Engelli Öğrencilerle Çalışan Öğretmenlerin Uzaktan Eğitime İlişkin Görüş ve Deneyimlerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, görme yetersizliği olan çok engelli öğrencilerle çalışan öğretmenlerin uzaktan eğitimle ilgili deneyimlerini ve bakış açılarını kapsamlı bir şekilde anlamaktır. Bu çalışmada karma yöntem araştırmasının bir türü olan keşfedici sıralı desen kullanılmıştır. Bu amaçla, araştırmacılar veri toplamak için “Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu” “Demografik Bilgi Formu” ve “Uzaktan Eğitime İlişkin Görüşler Anketi” geliştirmiş ve kullanmışlardır. Araştırmanın ilk aşamasında, araştırmacılar yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla nitel verileri toplamış ve bunların analizini gerçekleştirmiştir. İkinci aşamada, araştırmacılar, nitel analizin bulgularına dayanarak, nicel verileri toplamak için Uzaktan Eğitime İlişkin Görüşler Anketi’ni geliştirmiş ve nicel verileri toplamıştır. Çalışmanın nitel kısmında yedi öğretmen, nicel kısmında ise 40 öğretmen yer almıştır. Bulgular, çoklu yetersizliği olan görmeyen öğrencilerle çalışan öğretmenlerinin, çocukların yetersizlik düzeyleri, öğrencilerin internete erişimi ve uzaktan eğitim uygulamalarında teknoloji kullanımına ilişkin olumsuz deneyimler bildirdiklerini ortaya koymuştur. Öğretmenler bu zorlukların üstesinden gelmek için uyarlamalar yapmış ve aile desteğinden yararlanmıştır. Öğretmenler uzaktan eğitimde en çok ailelerinin desteğine ihtiyaç duyduklarını, bunun yanı sıra teknoloji kullanımı, internet ve altyapı desteği konularında eğitime ihtiyaç duyduklarını belirtmişlerdir. Uzaktan eğitimin etkili olabilmesi için ailelerin uzaktan eğitim konusunda eğitilmesi ve öğrencilerin gerekli internet ve dijital cihazlara erişiminin sağlanması gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir. Anahtar kelimeler: öğretmen, bakış açısı, deneyim, görme yetersizliği olan çok engelli öğrenciler, uzaktan eğitim, karma yöntem

An Investigation of the Views and Experiences of Teachers Working With Visually Impaired Students With Multiple Disabilities on Distance Education

Abstract

The objective of this study was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the experiences and perspectives of educators working with students with visual impairments and multiple disabilities regarding distance education. This study employed an exploratory sequential design, a type of mixed-methods research. To this end, the researchers developed and employed a “Semi-Structured Interview” form, a “Demographic Information Form”, and an “Opinions on Distance Education Questionnaire” for the purpose of data collection. In the initial phase of the study, the researchers gathered qualitative data through semi-structured interviews and conducted an analysis thereof. In the second stage, the research team developed the Opinions on Distance Education Questionnaire, a tool designed to collect quantitative data, based on the findings of the qualitative analysis. Subsequently, the team collected the requisite quantitative data. Seven teachers participated in the qualitative portion of the study, while 40 teachers took part in the quantitative phase. The findings revealed that teachers of visually impaired children with multiple disabilities reported unfavorable experiences pertaining to the children's disabilities, students' access to the Internet, and the utilization of technology in distance education practices. Teachers made adaptations and utilized family support to overcome these challenges. The teachers reported that they required the most support from their families in distance education, as well as training in the use of technology, the internet, and infrastructure support. They suggested that for distance education to be effective, families should be trained in distance education and students should have access to the necessary internet and digital devices.
