Yeni İlköğretim Programları ve Öğretmenler

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de 2005-2006 öğretim yılında ülke programlarında adeta birer slogan gibi sıkça tekrarlanan ve öğretmenler tarafından yanlış anlaşılmaya neden olabilecek bazı konuları belirlemek ve bunların neden yanlış anlaşılabileceğini gerekçeleriyle ortaya koymaktır. Program değişim sürecinde adeta birer slogan gibi sıkça tekrarlanan ve öğretmenler tarafından yanlış anlaşılmaya neden olabilecek konular şöyledir. Bireysel farklılıkları dikkate almak, etkin öğrenmenin anlamı, geleneksel ölçme değerlendirme öğretmenlerin alan bilgisi ihtiyacı ve iş yüklerinin durumu. Program değişiminde bütün ilgi ve dikkat değişimin nasıl yapılacağından çok değişimin kendisine odaklanmıştır. Bu değişimin istenilen düzeyde gerçekleşmesi için daha uzun soluklu, katılımcı ve ülkemizin gerçeklerine uygun bir öğretmen eğitimi planlanmalı ve uygulanmalıdır. Bu süreçte mevcut hizmet içi eğitim uygulamalarının da ciddi olarak ele alınması ve daha verimli hale getirilmesi gerekmektedir

New Elementary Curricula and Teachers

The main objective of this article is to establish some issues that are frequently repeated in the new elementary school curricula in Turkey in 2005-2006 school year, which can lead to misunderstandings by teachers; and to argue why they may lead to misunderstandings together with justifications. Certain matters have been examined below, and these have been repeated frequently throughout the program change process, with a possibility to lead to misunderstanding by teachers. The first one has to do with individual differences. The others are meaning of active learning, the usage of traditional measurement and evaluation techniques, teachers’ subject knowledge and work load. All interest and emphases in curriculum changes is focused on the change itself, rather than how the change will be introduced. In order to ensure that this change takes place at the desired level, long-term training courses that allow participation and that take into account the facts of our country must be planned and implemented for teachers. Within this process, existing in service training must be considered seriously and rendered more efficient
