Mesleki Gelişim: Öğrenen olarak Öğretmen Eğitimcileri

Öz

Bu çalışma öğretmen eğitimcilerinin mesleki gelişimlerinin çerçevesini çizmektedir. Daha özel olarak öğretmen eğitimcilerinin mesleki gelişime bakışları ve tanımları, katıldıkları mesleki gelişim etkinlikleri, mesleki gelişime yönelik destekler ve engeller incelenmiştir. Örnek durum çalışması kapsamında on dört öğretmen eğitimcisi ile görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Toplanan veri yıllık performans raporları ile çeşitlendirilmiştir. Bulgular bazı engellere rağmen öğretim elemanlarının mesleki gelişim etkinlik ve programları içerisinde yer almak konusunda oldukça hevesli olduğuna işaret etmektedir; ancak katılımcıların mesleki gelişim tanımları net değildir ve hizmetiçi eğitim kavramı ile karışmaktadır. Ayrıca bulgular öğretmen eğitimcilerinin mesleki gelişimlerini kimin destekleyeceği tartışmasına da vurgu yapmaktadır.

Professional Development: Teacher Educators as Learners

Öz

This study outlines the professional development of teacher educators. More specially, teacher educators’ descriptions and definitions of professional development and their participating professional development activities are examined. Further, to what extent teacher educators develop themselves in the professional sense, and supports and obstacles are explored. Within a case design, fourteen teacher educators were interviewed. Data were triangulated with annual performance reports. Findings point to high enthusiasm of participants in developing their knowledge, skills and attitudes in their profession despite some obstacles. However, their descriptions of professional development are not clear and confused with in-service training. The findings also highlight the discussion about who should support teacher educators’ professional development
