Öğretmen Eğitiminde Aile Katılımı: Ne, Neden ve Nasıl?

Bu çalışmanın amacı öğretim elemanlarının, öğretmen eğitiminde, aile katılımının önemi ile programlarının aile katılımı başlıklarını kapsama konusundaki yeterliliklerine ilişkin görüş ve önerilerini belirlemektir. Çalışma için hem nitel hem de nicel veriler toplanmıştır. Nicel veriler, Epstein ve Sanders’in çalışmalarına dayanan bir ölçek yoluyla elde edilmiştir. Nitel veriler ise açık uçlu sorular aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Çalışmaya 283 öğretim elemanı katılmıştır. Sonuçlara göre öğretim elemanları, öğretmen adaylarının aile katılımına ilişkin yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadıklarına inanmaktadır. Eğitimciler, öğretmen adaylarının öncelikle, aile katılımında gönüllü olma, etkileşimli ödevler tasarlama, aile katılımını sağlayacak yıllık bir program planlama ve uygulama gibi bilgi ve becerilere sahip olmaları gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir. Aile katılımının tüm öğretmen eğitimi programlarında eksik ancak gerekli ve önemli bir konu alanı olduğunu vurgulamışlardır. Ayrıca, üniversiteler ile MEB arasındaki iş birliğinin artması gerektiğine de dikkat çekmişlerdir.

Parental Involvement in Teacher Education: What, Why and How?

The study was aimed to define the opinions of teacher educators on the importance of parental involvement in teacher education, sufficiency level of teacher education programs about teaching how to involve parent to education and their suggestions for improving programs. Both qualitative and quantitative data were gathered. A scale based on Epstein and Sanders studies was used to gather quantitative data. Qualitative data was gathered with open-ended questions. Two-hundred eighty-three teacher educators attended to the study. Results showed that teacher educators believed that preservice teachers don’t have enough knowledge on parental involvement. They stated that teachers should have knowledge and skills such as volunteering in parental involvement, designing interactive homework and planning and implementing a full year program for parental involvement activities. They emphasized parental participation is a missing but necessary topic to add to all teacher education programs. Moreover, it is vital to increase cooperation between universities and MNE.
