BECOMING A TEACHER IN MULTIGRADE CLASSES

Öz

Birleştirilmiş sınıf, öğretmenlerin çalışma konusunda çok sıcak bakmadığı bir öğretim uygulamasıdır. Mesleğe birleştirilmiş sınıflarda öğretmen olarak başlama olasılığı yüksek olan öğretmen adaylarının mezun olacakları eğitim fakültesinin bir paydaşı olarak bu konuda kendilerine, fakülteye ve ilgili öğretim programına dönük görüşleri kurumsal işleyiş ve izlenilen eğitim programları hakkında geri bildirim niteliği taşımaktadır. Buna göre araştırmada, öğretmen adaylarından birleştirilmiş sınıflarda öğretmen olma konusunda kendilerine, mezun olacağı eğitim fakültesine ve Birleştirilmiş Sınıflarda Öğretim dersine ilişkin görüşleri tanımlanmaya çalışılmıştır. Betimsel nitelikteki araştırmada veriler, sınıf arkadaşları tarafından öğretmenlik mesleğinde iyi olmaya aday olarak gösterilen üçü kadın olmak üzere toplam sekiz öğretmen adayından odak grup görüşme yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda adaylar, birleştirilmiş sınıflarda öğretmenlik yapmanın zor ancak olanaksız olmadığını, kendilerini bu göreve yetiştirme konusunda eğitim fakültesini yetersiz bulduğunu ve Birleştirilmiş Sınıflarda Öğretim ders öğretim programının daha işlevsel olabileceğini belirtmişlerdir
