Türk Biyoloji Öğretmenlerinin Eğitim Programı Uygulamasında Yaşadıkları Kısıtlılıklarla İlgili Algıları *

Bu çalışma biyoloji dersi eğitim programı uygulaması sürecinde öğretmenlerin karşılaştıkları sorunların belirlenmesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın örneklemini 12 ilde 119 genel lisede çalışmakta olan 128 biyoloji öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Veriler çözümlenmesinde betimleyici ve yordayıcı istatistikler ile nitel veri analizi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Bulgular program değişikliği, öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimi, değerlendirme uygulamaları, kaynakların mevcudiyeti ve hedeflenen program arasındaki uyumsuzluğa işaret etmektedir. Bulgular eğitim politika ve uygulamaları ile gelecekte yapılacak bilimsel araştırmalara ışık tutması amacıyla tartışılmıştır.

Constraints of Curriculum Implementation as Perceived by Turkish Biology Teacher *

The purpose of this cross-sectional descriptive study is to identify the constraints perceived by teachers in the implementation process of secondary school biology curriculum in Turkey. Sample of the study consists of 128 biology teachers working in 119 public schools in 12 provinces of Turkey. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and qualitative data analysis techniques were used to examine teachers' beliefs and to make additional inferences about the constraints they experience. The results highlighted lack of alignments between curriculum change, teacher development, assessment practices, availability of the resources and the intended curriculum. The study discusses the implications of the results concerning policy, practice and further research.
