Öğretmenlerin Yükseköğrenim Alanları ile Öğrencilerin Akademik Başarısı Arasındaki İlişki

Bu araştırmada, “Uluslararası Matematik ve Fen Eğilimleri Araştırması-2011” (TIMSS 2011) uygulamasına katılan Singapur, Güney Kore, Japonya, Çin-Tayvan, Finlandiya, Slovenya, İngiltere, Türkiye, Malezya ve Makedonya verileri kullanılarak “Sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin fen bilgisi ve matematik başarıları, öğretmenlerin yükseköğrenimde aldıkları eğitimlere göre nasıl bir değişim göstermektedir?” sorusuna yanıt aranmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında incelenen ülkelerde fen bilgisi ve matematik öğretmenlerinin yükseköğrenimde hangi alanlarda aldıkları eğitimin, öğrencilerin fen bilgisi ve matematikteki akademik başarılarını istatiksel olarak anlamlı etkilediği ve akademik başarıyı artırıp artırmadığı tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın veri kaynakları TIMSS 2011 uygulamasından elde edilmiştir. Veriler SPSS tabanlı çalışan HLM analiz programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Bu çerçevede matematik ve fen bilgisi öğretmenlerinin yükseköğrenimde aldıkları alan eğitimlerinin, öğrencilerin fen bilgisi ve matematik başarısına etkisi Hiyerarşik Lineer Modelleme (HLM) yöntemi ile belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Yükseköğreniminde biyoloji, fizik ve kimya alanlarında eğitim alan fen bilgisi öğretmenlerinin öğrencilerinin akademik fen başarı puanları, bu alanlarda eğitim almayan öğretmenlere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Yükseköğreniminde matematik, yer bilimleri ve diğer olarak ifade edilen alanlarda eğitim alan matematik öğretmenlerinin öğrencilerinin akademik matematik başarı puanları, bu alanlarda eğitim almayan öğretmenlere göre daha yüksek çıkmıştır.
