ENGLISH TEACHERS’ BELIEFS AND ATTITUDES TOWARDS PROJECT-BASED LEARNING
Öz
Since the
implementation of the constructivist approach in 2004, student-centered
learning models such as Project-Based Learning have started to gain importance.
Project-Based Learning is a method which promotes students to discover
information by project works and group works based on themes or topics unlike
specific language tasks. Project-Based Learning creates a cooperative learning environment
for learners and allows students to participate the process actively. A product
emerges at the end of the project. Although there are many studies about Project-Based
Learning, the number of studies investigating teachers' beliefs and attitudes
towards Project-Based Learning are limited. Therefore, this research aims to
explore the attitudes and beliefs of English teachers towards Project-Based
Learning. A total of 25 English teachers from Turkey
participated in this study. A qualitative research design was employed by the
researcher and the data was collected through semi-structured interviews. In data
analysis part, content analysis method was used. According
to the research results, it was found that participant teachers have positive beliefs
and attitudes towards Project-Based Learning. It has also been revealed that
participants find Project-Based Learning more effective when it is compared to
traditional methods, prefer to use it and want it to be implemented in Turkish
schools.
