ÖĞRETMENLERİN ENGELLİLİĞE YÖNELİK TUTUMLARI ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

Öz

İnsan hayatı önünde geçici veya kalıcı setler oluşturan engellilik, doğuştan veya sonradan herhangi bir nedenle bedensel, zihinsel ve sosyal yeteneklerin çeşitli derecelerde kaybedilmesi ile oluşmaktadır. Engelliler ve engellilik önündeki en temel kalıcı set toplumsal boyutta yaratılan ve yaşanılan tutumlardır. Bu tutumların oluşturulmasında önemli role sahip meslek gruplarından biri de öğretmenliktir. Nitekim öğretmenlerin, bireyin çocukluk ve olgunluk dönemi arasında oluşan ve daha sonra çalışma yaşamına taşıdığı tutumları üzerine etkileri bulunmaktadır. 138 öğretmenle gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada öğretmenlerin kişisel olarak engelliliği nasıl algıladığı “Engellilere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” uygulanarak ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre öğretmenlerin engelliliğe ilişkin tutumlarında medeni durumun, eğitim durumunun ve ailede engelli birey bulunmasının bir farklılık oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir.
