Koruma Altında Yetişen Öğretmenlerin Kariyer Uyumu

Türkiye’de, koruma altında yetişen bireylerin kamuda öncelikle istihdam hakları bulunmaktadır. Bu bireyler kamuda genelde memur ya da hizmetli olarak görev yapmaktadırlar. Son yıllarda yapılan yasal düzenlemelerle koruma altında yetişenlerin istihdam haklarının kullanımında yüksek öğrenim görenlere öncelik verilerek öğrenim görülen alanlara göre istihdam olanağı sağlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada koruma altında yetişen öğretmenlerin kariyer uyumlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada, nitel araştırma yaklaşımlarına dayalı olarak fenomenoloji yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu devlet korumasında yetişen ve öğretmen olan yedi kişi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma verileri betimsel analizle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, kıdemin kariyer uyumunda önemli etkilerinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Koruma altında yetişen öğretmenlerin öğretmen olmalarında devlet korumasında yetişmiş olma önemli bir destek sağlamıştır. Koruma altında yetişme, hem biyolojik ailenin etkisinin sınırlanması yönünden hem de kişilik özelliklerinin etkilenmesi yönünden kariyer yapılandırmayı etkilemektedir. Kariyer uyumunun güven boyutunda, katılımcıların daha uyumlu olduğu görülmektedir.

Career Adaptability of Care Leaver Teachers

In Türkiye, care leavers primarily have a right to be employed in the public sector. These individuals generally work as civil servants or janitors in the public sector. Some of the care leavers are also employed as teachers. Furthermore, with recent legal arrangements, care leavers with university degrees have been granted the priority of using the employment right and being employed in positions relevant to their majors. In this regard, the aim of this study was to examine the career adaptability of care leaver teachers. In this study, phenomenological design was used based on qualitative interviews. The study group consisted of seven post-care adults working as teachers in the public sector. A descriptive analysis was conducted to analyse the data collected from participants through interviews. The findings indicated that professional experience has important effects on the career adaptability of care leaver teachers. Being a care leaver was found to be influential in participants’ choosing a teaching profession and constructing their careers, and to limit the impact of the biological family and shape personality traits. Participants also emphasized confidence relatively more than the other dimensions of career adaptability.
