Impediments to Teaching Practice in Pre-Service Teacher Education

Bu çalışmanın amacı, aday öğretmenler ve uygulama öğretim elemanlarına göre öğretmenlik uygulamasındaki engelleri tespit etmek ve 1997 uygulamalarının bu engellere nasıl yanıt verdiğini tasvir etmektir. Çalışmaya ODTÜ Eğitim Fakültesi’nden öğretmenlik uygulamasına devam eden 70 öğrenci ile altı uygulama öğretim elemanı katılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri öğrencilere uygulanan ve beş açık uçlu sorundan oluşan bir anket ile uygulama öğretim elemanlarıyla yapılan bireysel görüşme yoluyla toplanmıştır. Bireysel görüşme ve anket yoluyla toplanan veriler, nicel araştırma teknikleri kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Aday öğretmen ve uygulama öğretim elemanlarından elde edilen bulgular bütünleştirilmiş ve 1997 uygulamaları çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır. Ortaya çıkan engellerin giderilmesi için öğretmen eğitiminin işbirliğine dayalı, paylaşılan bir sorumluluk olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

The purpose of this study is to explore the impediments student teachers face during teaching practice according to student teachers and supervisors, and describe how the 1997 teacher education reform responded to the identifiedimpediments. The subjects in the study were 70 student teachers attending teaching practice and six supervisors from the Faculty of Education at the Middle East Technical University in Ankara. For data collection purposes a questionnaire comprising five open ended questions was administered to the student teachers. An open ended interview was conducted with the supervisors, and this constituted the second data set. Data gathered through the interviews and questionnaires were subjected to content analysis. Results are presented and then discussed in relation to the 1997 teacher education reform teaching practice component.
