Preschool teacher candidates’ pupil control ideology and educational beliefs

Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının eğitimsel inançları ve öğrenci kontrol ideolojileri arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkileri incelemektir. Çalışmaya, Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti’nde eğitim öğretim hizmeti yürüten iki üniversitenin (Doğu Akdeniz ve Uluslararası Kıbrıs) eğitim fakültelerinde okul öncesi eğitimi programına devam etmekte olan 218 öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri; Ebeveyn Modernlik Ölçeği, Öğrenci Kontrol İdeolojileri Ölçeği ve Öğrencilere Yönelik İnançlar Ölçeği yoluyla toplanmıştır. Katılımcıların öğrenci kontrol ideolojileri ve eğitimsel inançlarında cinsiyet ve sınıf düzeylerine bağlı anlamlı farklılaşmalar bulunmuştur. Kadın katılımcıların erkeklere oranla daha az geleneksel yönelimli oldukları ve gözetimci kontrol ideolojisine daha düşük düzeyde sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Katılımcıların sınıf düzeyi yükseldikçe, geleneksellik yönelimleri azalmakta ve insancıl kontrol ideolojilerine ilişkin puanları artmaktadır. Öğretmen adaylarının, geleneksellik yönelimleri ile öğrenciye ilişkin inançlarının, öğrenci kontrol ideolojilerini yordamada etkili olduğu saptanmıştır.

Okul öncesi öğretmen adaylarının öğrenci kontrol ideolojileri ve eğitimsel inançları

The aim of the present study was to investigate prospective teacher candidates’ educational beliefs and pupil control ideologies. The sample of the study consists of 218 teacher candidate from the early childhood education departments of two Universities at Türkish Republic of North Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean and International Cyprus). The data was collected by; Parental Modernity Scale, Pupil Control Ideology Form (PCI), and Beliefs about Student Inventory (BSI). Data reveal significant differences on participants’ educational beliefs and pupil control ideology due to gender and grade level. Women are seen to have lower scores on traditionalism dimension and less custodial beliefs for pupil control. Participants’ modernity scores and humanistic beliefs for pupil control are seen to increase due to grade level. Prospective teachers’ traditionalism orientation and beliefs about student were seen to be predictive of their PCI.
