Öğretmen Yetkinliğinin Tarihsel Gelişimi ve Ohio Öğretmen Yetkinlik Ölçeği: Türk Kültürüne Uyarlama, Dil Geçerliği ve Faktör Yapısının İncelenmesi

Öz

Yetkinlik, başarılı bir öğretim görevi için gerekli bir niteliktir. Öğretmenler bu niteliğin temellerini öğretmenlik eğitimi süresi içerisinde (eğitim fakültelerinde) kazanmakta, ilk ve ortaöğretim kurumlarında yürüttükleri öğretim görevi içerisinde de geliştirmektedirler. Yetkinlik konusunun kuramsal temelleri Rotter'in (1966) Kontrol Odağı ve Bandura'nın (1977) Sosyal Öğrenme kuramlarına dayanır. Bu kavramın ayrıca, bir durumsal liderlik teorisi olan Reddin'in (1970) 3D Kuramıyla da ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, öğretmen yetkinliği kavramı bu üç teoriyle çizilen kavramsal çerçevede tartışılarak açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Yine bu çalışmada Öğretmen Yetkinliği konusunda Tschannen-Moran & Woolfolk-Hoy (2001) tarafından geliştirilen Ohio Öğretmen Yetkinlik Ölçeği'nin Türk kültürüne uyarlaması yapılarak dil geçerliği ve faktör yapısı incelenmiştir.
