Yaratıcı Yazma ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet

Bu çalışma, yaratıcı yazma sürecinde öğrencilerin toplumsal cinsiyet algılarını ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Böylelikle öğrencilerin yazılarının toplumsal cinsiyet ile olan ilişkisi ortaya çıkartılmaya çalışılacaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, nitel bir araştırma deseni kullanılarak araştırmacı tarafından verilen karakterler aracılığıyla öğrencilerin yazılarındaki toplumsal cinsiyet algıları incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını uygun örnekleme yoluyla seçilmiş olan ve Amasya ilinde üniversite, ortaöğretim ve ilköğretim sürecinde eğitimlerini sürdürmekte olan 57 öğrenci ile 5 yetişkin oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın farklı yaş ve düzeylerdeki katılımcılarla yürütülmesinin nedeni ise, her yaş ve düzeyde yaratıcı yazma ile ortaya çıkabilecek toplumsal cinsiyet algılarını ortaya çıkartıp gruplar arasında karşılaştırma yapabilmektir. Bu çalışmada, tek sorudan oluşan bir anket aracılığıyla katılımcılardan içerisinde prens, prenses, cadı ve ejderhanın olduğu bir masal yazmaları istenmiştir. Daha sonra, katılımcıların prens, prenses, cadı ve ejderhayı nasıl betimlendiğine ilişkin yazdıkları masallara içerik analizi uygulanmıştır. İçerik analizinde ortaya çıkan izlekler (tema) sınıflandırılmış ve daha sonra bu sınıflandırmalar frekans ve yüzdeler aracılığıyla rapor edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışmada, farklı yaş ve cinsiyette bulunan öğrenci ve yetişkinlerin yaratıcı yazılarında verilen karakterlere yönelik yansıttıkları toplumsal cinsiyet anlayışlarının birbirlerine benzer oldukları ortaya çıkartılmıştır

Creative Writing and Social Gender

The study aimed to reveal learners’ gender perceptions in the process of creative writing. This way, revealing the relationship between the students’ writings and social gender was intended to be identified. In accord with this aim, using a qualitative research design, through the characters provided by the researcher, the perceptions of social gender in the participants’ writings were analyzed. The participants, chosen by convenience sampling, were 57 students, who were studying at university, secondary and primary schools in Amasya and 5 adults. The reason why the research was conducted with the participants who were at different age and education levels was that it would be possible to make comparisons of the perceptions of gender which might appear by creative writing at every age and developmental level. Through a given one-item questionnaire, the participants were asked to write a tale which consisted of a prince, a princess, a witch, and a dragon. Afterwards, content analysis was used on those tales to find out how the participants described the prince, princess, witch, and the dragon. The themes that emerged were classified first, and their frequencies and percentages were reported. The results showed that the gender perceptions of the students and the adults, who were at different age levels, for the given characters in their creative writings were similar
