Teori Tabanlı Değerlendirmeye Dayalı Eklektik Bir Program Geliştirme Modeli

Bu araştırmanın amacı, ortaokul öğrencilerine özenli düşünme becerilerini kazandırmaya yönelik bir eğitim programı geliştirme sürecinde izlenen yeni ve eklektik program geliştirme modelini tanıtmak; test edilen bu modelin ana hatlarını ortaya koymaktır. Teori tabanlı değerlendirme dayalı kendi kendini doğrulayan ve güçlü yaklaşımları içine alan bu eklektik bir program geliştirme modeli; durum çalışması, sıralı keşfedici karma desen, eylem araştırması ve gömülü teori desenlerini barındıran çoklu yöntem araştırma desenini içermektedir. Bu araştırma desenleri bağlamında kurgulanan ihtiyaç değerlendirme, tasarım, uygulama ve değerlendirme safhalarında çok sayıda nicel ve nitel ölçme aracı kullanılmıştır. Bu ölçme araçları sayesinde programın bileşenleri (tasarım, öğretim süreci vb.) ile öğrencilerde kazandırılması beklenen özelliklerin ortaya çıkarılması hedeflenmiştir. Bu işlemler neticesinde programın beklenen etkiye sahip olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu program geliştirme modelinin düşünme eğitimi, değer eğitimi ve kavram öğretimi gibi soyut yapıların eğitiminde geliştirilmesi olası eğitim programları kapsamında takip edilebileceği önerilmektedir. Dahası, gelecek çalışmalarında eklektik yaklaşımın hem salt olarak ihtiyaç değerlendirme, program tasarımı, uygulama ve değerlendirme süreçlerinin her biri kendi içinde hem de bütüncül bir program geliştirme çalışmalarında benimsenebileceği önerilmektedir.

An Eclectic Curriculum Development Model Based on Theory-Driven Evaluation

The purpose of the present study is to introduce new and eclectic model of curriculum development followed in making an educational program that aims to gain caring thinking skills for middle school students. The research design of the model consists of multimethod research design including case study research method, sequential exploratory mixed method, and grounded theory designs. A great numbers of quantitative and qualitative measurement instruments are employed in the phases of needs assessment, curriculum design, curriculum implementation, and program evaluation. It is aimed to discover the expected outcomes of students via these instruments. In study, it is concluded that curriculum has an expected effect on students. It is suggested that this curriculum development model can be followed within the scope of educational programs that can be developed in the education of abstract structures such as thinking education, values education and concept teaching. It is also suggested that, the eclectic approach can be adopted both within the needs assessment, program design, implementation and evaluation processes, as well as in the development of a holistic program in future studies.
