This research aims to determine the current trend in action research conducted in the context of social studies lessons, which offers a rich scope in terms of action research, and to develop a projection for possible future action research. According to the content analysis results of 66 articles published in Turkey-addressed journals through SSCI, ERIC, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and Ulakbim TR Dizin indexes, it has been seen that there is a wide range of topics including the use of alternative models/applications and activities, teaching historical methods and skills, teaching multiple literacy, concept teaching, technology use, and value teaching. In terms of the role of the action research practitioner, it is seen that the researcher roles are explained within the researcher implementation process, outside the researcher implementation process, and the researcher-teacher co-practitioner. It has been determined that the traditional individual researcher approach, which intervenes from the outside, continues instead of the researcher role in the process as a collaborator, catalyst, or reflector. In addition, in most of the studies, the most technical, scientific, and collaborative approach is used, it is observed that the action research cycle/reflection processes are not specified and there are no explanations regarding the validity/reliability processes. When the study group/participants were examined, it was determined that students, teacher candidates, teachers, parents, and faculty members were included. While the most frequently addressed participants were students, and the least frequently discussed participants were faculty members. In addition, it is seen that there is no methodological unity in terms of terminology related to action research.

Türkiye’de Sosyal Bilgiler Eğitimi Alanında “Araştıran Öğretmen”e Genel Bir Bakış: Eylem Araştırmalarını Neden ve Nasıl Yapıyoruz?

Yıl 2022, Cilt: 9 Sayı: 1, 30 - 47, 31.01.2022

Bu araştırmada eylem araştırmaları açısından zengin bir kapsam sunan sosyal bilgiler dersi bağlamında gerçekleştirilen eylem araştırmalarındaki mevcut eğilimin belirlenmesi ve gelecekteki olası eylem araştırmalarına ilişkin bir projeksiyon geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. SSCI, ERIC, EBSCO, Google Scholar, Ulakbim TRDizin indeksleri üzerinden Türkiye adresli dergilerde yayınlanan 66 makale üzerinden gerçekleştirilen içerik analizi sonucuna göre; alternatif model/uygulama ve etkinliklerin kullanımı, tarihsel yöntem ve becerilerin öğretimi, çoklu okuryazarlıkların öğretimi, kavram öğretimi, teknoloji kullanımı ve değer öğretimi olmak üzere geniş bir konu yelpazesinin olduğu görülmüştür. Eylem araştırması yürütücüsünün rolü açısından; araştırmacı uygulama sürecinin içerisinde, araştırmacı uygulama sürecinin dışında ve araştırmacı-öğretmen birlikte uygulayıcı olmak üzere araştırmacı rollerinin açıklandığı, en fazla “öğretmen” rolünü üstlenen araştırmacının uygulayıcı olarak yer aldığı görülmektedir. İşbirlikçi, katalizör veya yansıtıcı olarak sürecin içinde yer alan araştırmacı rolünün yerine dışarıdan müdahale eden geleneksel tekil araştırmacı anlayışının devam ettiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca en fazla teknik, bilimsel ve işbirlikçi yaklaşımın kullanıldığı; araştırmaların çoğunluğunda eylem araştırması döngüsünün/yansıtma süreçlerinin belirtilmediği ve geçerlik/güvenirlik süreçlerine ilişkin açıklamaların yer almadığı görülmektedir. Çalışma grubu/katılımcılar incelendiğinde öğrenci, öğretmen adayı, öğretmen, veli ve öğretim üyesine yer verildiği, en sıklıkla ele alınan katılımcıların öğrenciler, en az sıklıkla ele alınan katılımcıların ise öğretim üyeleri olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca eylem araştırmalarına ilişkin terminolojik açıdan metodolojik bir kavramsal birlikteliğin de olmadığı görülmektedir.
