Changing roles of teachers: Prospective teachers' thoughts

Bu çalışma ile öğretmen adaylarının (n=186) değişen öğretmen rolleri konusunda görüşleri araştırılmıştır. Bu temel amaçla betimsel bir araştırma planlanmıştır ve veriler nitel-nicel araştırma teknikleri ile toplanmıştır. Bunun için anket geliştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın sonuçları, öğretmen adaylarının en çok 'rehberlik', 'öğrenmeye motive etme,' 'bilgiyi aktarma', 'bireysel gelişim' ve 'rol model-olma' gibi öğretmen rollerinde değişime işaret ettikleri gözlenmiştir. Ayrıca teknolojiyi kullanma (X=4,03), adaylarca diğer rollere göre en çok değişimin olduğu rol olarak vurgulanmıştır. Araştırma, öğretmen adaylarının öğretmen rollerine ilişkin bakış açılarını görmek açısından yararlı olabileceği gibi, öğretmen eğitimcilerine de adayları mesleğe daha iyi motive etmek ve onları değişen öğretim rollerine hazırlamak açısından yararlı olabilir.

Değişen öğretmen rolleri: Öğretmen adaylarının düşünceleri

This paper mainly aims to determine prospective teachers7 (n=186) thoughts regarding the changing roles of teachers. For this main purpose, a descriptive study was conducted and data were gathered through both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The main research technique was based on a questionnaire. The results indicated that prospective teachers dwell on guiding, motivating to learn, transmitting knowledge, self-development and being a role model as most important teacher roles. Moreover, the results also showed that 'using technology' (M=4,03) emerged as the role that changed most among others. This study might be beneficial in showing prospective teachers' viewpoints related to teacher roles. Seeing their priorities helps us, as teacher trainers, to motivate and prepare them for their changing roles.
