Öz

Bu çalışma öğretmenlik eğitimi alan üniversite öğrencilerinin ahlak eğitimiyle ilgili olarak eğitim sisteminden beklentileri belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma nitel araştırma mantığında yürütülmüş olup fenomenografik araştırmadır. Araştırmada veriler yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile elde edilmiş ve görüşme formu soruları temelde 1 soru özelinde 5 sonda soru üzerinde yapılandırılmıştır. Araştırmada görüşme sonuçları içerik analizi yoluyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, eğitim sistemi içerisindeki çocuğa kazandırılması beklenen ahlaki değerlerin sadece okulların görevi değil aynı zamanda aile, toplum ve sosyal çevrenin payı ve rolü bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Ahlaki edinimin değerlerden ödün vermeme, bireysel ahlaktan çoğul ahlaka, ahlak gelişiminin bir bütün olması formal veya informal eğitimin işlevinin olduğu ortak sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar kapsamında, ahlaki değerlerin doğrudan anlatımla değil yaşamın bir parçası ve içselleştirdiğimiz olgular bütünü olduğu düşüncesi eğitim sisteminden bu yöndeki beklentilerini daha makul düzeyde olmasını sağlayabilir.
