Bu çalışma, Matematik ile Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri (BT) öğretmen adaylarının okul deneyimi sürecindeki tecrübelerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın odaklarından birisi, Matematik ve BT öğretmen adayları arasındaki benzerlikler ve farklılıkları ortaya koymaktır. Veriler 11 katılımcıdan elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, mentor ve uygulama okulu seçimlerinin, üniversitelerdeki danışmanların rehberliği kadar önemli olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Katılımcıların çoğu, üniversitedeki öğretilenlerle okullarda uygulananlar arasındaki ilişkilendirmenin yetersiz olduğunu düşünmektedir. Genel olarak, her iki bölümün öğretmen adaylarının benzer düşünceler sergilediği ancak BT öğretmen adaylarının daha çok okullardaki teknik altyapının yetersizliği ile ilgili endişelere sahip olduğu görülmüştür.

Transition From Theory To Practice: A Comparison Of Math and Computer Education And Instructional Technology Teachers During School Experience

Öz

This study aims to understand the experiences faced during school experience period of either prospective math or computer education and instructional technology (CEIT) teachers. Highlighting the differences and similarities between prospective math and CEIT teachers is also one of the purposes. Data were collected from 11 participants. The findings suggested that selection of mentors and practice schools have great importance as well as the true guidance of the university supervisor. Most of the participants agreed on the inadequacies of the tie between what is taught in campus and what happens in schools. In general, both groups of prospective teachers showed similar approaches, but prospective CEIT teachers were more concerned about infrastructural problems.
