İngilizce Öğretmen Adaylarının 21. Yüzyıl Öğrenme ve Yenilikçilik Becerilerine İlişkin İnanç ve Algıları (4C)

Bu çalışma, İngilizce öğretmen adaylarının 21. yüzyıl öğrenme ve yenilikçilik becerileri ile ilgili inanç ve algılarını özellikle eleştirel ve yaratıcı düşünme, işbirliği ve iletişim becerilerine (4Cs) özel bir vurgu yaparak incelemiştir. Veriler, kapalı ve açık uçlu sorular içeren özelleştirilmiş bir anket ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ile toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar öğretmen adaylarının 21. yüzyıl öğrenimini çoğunlukla teknolojinin derslere uyarlanması olarak algıladıklarını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, eleştirel ve yaratıcı düşünme, işbirliği yapma ve iletişim becerileri konusunda orta derecede farkındalık ancak bu becerilere karşı oldukça pozitif algı göstermişlerdir. Eleştirel ve yaratıcı düşünme, işbirliği ve iletişimin tanımlanmasında kullandıkları sözcükler ve ifadeler 21. yüzyıl becerilerinin farklı bağlamlarda farklı veya özel anlamlar ile kullanılmalarına rağmen eğitim bağlamında kullanılanlarla ilişkiliydiler. Öğretmen adayları ayrıca, bu becerilerin ulusal müfredat da yerleri ve değerlendirme araçları hakkında olumsuz, ancak bu konuda mesleki gelişim ile ilgili olumlu inançlara sahip oldukları ortaya çıkmıştır.
