Almanca öğretmeni adaylarının özerk öğrenme düzeylerine ilişkin bir inceleme

Günümüz dünyasında yaşanan gelişmeler farklı bilgi ve becerilerin edinilmesini zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu bağlamda birer öğrenen olarak öğretmenlerin de bilgi ve becerilerini günün gerektirdiği düzeye getirmeleri gerekmektedir. Özerk öğrenme becerisi ise bu konuda yardımcı olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma, aday Almanca öğretmenlerinin özerk öğrenme düzeylerini çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Veriler, Alman Dili Eğitimi Anabilim Dalında eğitim gören öğrencilerden toplanmıştır. Bu çalışma, aday Almanca öğretmenlerinin özerk öğrenme düzeyleri ile yaş ve cinsiyet arasında bir farklılığın olduğunu göstermiştir. Öğrenmenin planlama, uygulama ve değerlendirme aşamalarında da yaş ve cinsiyet açısından farklılıkların olduğunu göstermiştir.

The results of the study showedthat there is no statistical significant difference among class level and educational background in terms ofautonomous learning, but there were statistical significant differences with regards of age and gender. Further thesubscales „planning‟ and „performing‟ had on average a higher score as the subscale „evaluating‟. The findingsof the study indicated that teachers as learners have to be promoted with regard to their actual state.
