KURAM VE UYGULAMA ARASINDAKİ BOŞLUK ÜZERİNE BİR ÇALIŞMA: İNGİLİZCE ÖĞRETMENLERİ KENDİ LİSANS EĞİTİMLERİNİ NASIL ANLAMLANDIRMAKTADIRLAR

Öğretmen eğitmenleri genellikle kuram ve uygulam a arasındaki boşluğa sadece öğretmenlerin neden 

olduğunu düşünegelmişleredir. Ancak, bu çalışmaya katılan  iki öğretmen adayı kendi aldıkları dersler 

hakkında farklı düşünceler ortaya koydular ve bu derslerin öğretmen olarak kendileri için 

oluşturdukları kimliklerlerle bağlantılı olduğunu beyan ettiler. Bu makalede, öğretmen adaylarının 

kendi lisans eğitimlerini nasıl anlamlandırdıkları konusundaki farklılıkların incelenmesinin önemi ve 

kendileri için oluşturdukları öğretmen kimliklerininin, eğitimleri sırasında aldıklarının derslerin 

kuramsal ve uygulamalı ögeleriyle ilişkileri hakkındaki düşünceleri tartışılmaktadır. Diğer bir 

ifadeyle, kuram ve uygulama arasında zorlama bağlantılar kurmadan önce, öğretmenlerinin 

kendilerinin bu bağlantıyı nasıl kurduklarını araştırmak gerekmektedir. Bu araştırma sonucunda 

öğretmen eğitimi ile ilgili deneyimleri, öğretmenlerin benzersiz gereksinimlerine daha iyi bir şekilde 

uyarlamamız mümkün olacaktır.

Anahtar Kelimeler

kuram-uygulama ilişkisi, ikinci dil olarak İngilizce, Öğretmen yetiştirme, öğretmen kimliği

• The shifting nature of identity, particularly for preservice teachers, makes it unrealistic to claim that
• the identities of the participants in this study are fixed and remain constant over time. However, I
• chose to examine how their constructions of the theory-practice relationship, and their identities
• during the academic year in which I interacted with them, related to and informed one another.
