Türkçe İlköğretim Kitaplarında Engel ve Engellilik: Bir Doküman Analizi Örneği

bilgilendirmedir. Engellilerin ilköğretim içinde okullaşma oranları sınırlıdır. Bu nedenle doğrudan temas birçok öğrenci için olası olmamaktadır. İlköğretim çağında okullarda engellilerle temas kuramayan akranların tutumlarını değiştirmek için bilgilendirme daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma da, bilgilendirme aracı olarak ilköğretim Türkçe kitaplarında içerilen metinler engellilik temelinde incelemiştir. Gerçekleştirilen döküman analizinde kitapların metin ve görselleri engelli birey, engel ve ilişkili kavramlar bakımından geliştirilen inceleme aracıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular bu kitaplarda engelli bireylerin ve ilgili kavramların yok denecek düzeyde içerildiğini ortaya koymuştur. Tartışma kısmında ilköğretim kitaplarının yazımlarının toplumun farklı unsurları kapsayıcı biçimde yazılması gerektiği tartışılmıştır.

Involvement of Disability in Turkish Textbooks: An Example of Document Analysis

Personal interaction and informing individuals are the main methods to change attitudes toward disabilities. Schooling for children with disabilities is limited. Therefore, personal interaction chances for normally developing children with children with disabilities are low. Informing becomes the crucial method to change the attitudes. This study focused on examining Turkish course textbooks for 1-8th grades in order to figure how disability, people with disabilities and related concepts are involved in the texts. A rubric was developed to examine the textbooks. The results provided evidence for incredibly limited involvement of disability issues in Turkish textbooks. In the discussion part, the importance of including "others" in the textbooks is discussed.
