The main purpose of this study is to compare the level of using metacognitive strategies during study between high an low achieving prospective classroom teachers. Qualitative method was selected as design of the study. In addition, a semi-structured interview was also done with selected prospective classroom teachers to learn about how they use metacogtive strategies in their learning. Population of the study was prospective primary school education studying at the Kafkas Faculty of Education. A sample consisting of 30 prospective teachers was selected from the sample to interview. In analyzing qualitative data, content analysis technique was preferred. In planning, organizing, self-monitoring and selfevaluating dimensions of the metacognition, views of the high achieving prospective teachers were found to be more positive than those of low achieving ones.

Öğretmen Adaylarının Ders Çalışma Sırasında Bilişsel Farkındalık Becerilerini Kullanma Düzeylerinin İncelenmesi: Nitel Bir Çalışma

Öz

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, başarı düzeyi düşük ve yüksek öğretmen adaylarının, ders çalışma sürecinde bilişsel farkındalık stratejilerini kullanma düzeylerini incelemektir. Araştırma nitel yönteme göre desenlenmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının, görüşme yöntemiyle ders çalışma sürecinde bilişsel farkındalık stratejilerini ne kadar kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma evrenini Kafkas Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Sınıf Öğretmenliği Programında okuyan öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma çalışma grubunda, gönüllü olarak seçilen 30 öğrenciyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme yapılmıştır. Nitel verilerin analizinde, içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmada bilişsel farkındalığın planlama, örgütleme, denetleme ve değerlendirme boyutlarında, yüksek başarılı öğretmen adaylarının ders çalışma süreçlerine ilişkin görüşlerinin, düşük başarılı öğretmen adaylarına göre daha olumlu olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
