Özel gereksinimli olan ve olmayan öğrencilerin öğretmenlerinin öz-yetkinlik inançları

Son yıllarda öğretmenlerin öz-yetkinlik inançları eğitim araştırmalarında önemli bir yer tutmaya başlamıştır. Özel gereksinimli çocuklarla çalışan öğretmenlerin yetkinlik inançları ise daha az araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, ülkemiz için geliştirilmiş bir ölçme aracı kullanılarak özel gereksinimli olan ve olmayan öğrencilerle çalışan öğretmenlerin öz-yetkinlik inançları öğretmenlere ilişkin bazı demografik değişkenler açısından incelenmiştir. Araştırma grubunu özel gereksinimi olan ve olmayan öğrenciler ile çalışan öğretmenler oluşturmaktadır (n=234). Katılımcıların 133’ü (%56.8) özel eğitim öğretmeni, 101’i ise (%43.2) normal eğitim öğretmenidir. Öğretmenlerin yaş ortalamaları ve standart sapmaları sırasıyla 37.16 ve 9.43’dür. Araştırmada veri toplamak için Kaner ve arkadaşları tarafından geliştirilen Öğretmen Öz-Yetkinlik Ölçeği kullanılmıştır (Kaner, Şekercioğlu ve Yellice-Yüksel, 2007a, 2007b; Kaner, Şekercioğlu ve Yellice-Yüksel, 2008). Veriler bağımsız örneklemler için t testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular öğretmenlerin mesleki yetkinlik inançlarının cinsiyetlerine, çalıştıkları öğrenci türüne, hizmet sürelerine ve görev kademelerine göre değişmediğini göstermiştir. Bulgular, ilgili alan yazın doğrultusunda tartışılmıştır.
