Okul-dışı Öğrenmeye Yönelik Öğretmen Mesleki Gelişim Programından Mentorlük Desteği Alan Öğretmenin Öğrencilerine Yansıyan Etkileri- Bir Örnek Olay Çalışması

Bu çalışmanın amacı, bilim merkezleri gibi okul dışı öğrenme ortamlarının imkânlarını okul müfredatına etkili bir şekilde entegrasyonunu destekleyen BİLMER (bilim merkezlerine yönelik mesleki gelişim projesinin kısa kullanımı) projesi eğitimlerine katılmış bir öğretmenin, öğrencileri ile yürüttüğü proje tabanlı öğrenme sürecinde proje ekibinden aldığı mentorlük desteğinin öğrencilerine ve kendisine yansıyan etkilerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu çalışmada örnek olay yöntemi kullanılmış; veriler öğretmen ve öğrencilerinden nitel yollarla toplanmıştır. Çalıştaya katılan kimya öğretmeni proje ekibinden aldığı mentorlük süresince izlenmiş ve öğrencileri ile yürüttükleri projeler sırasında gözlemlenmiştir. Verilerin analiziyle, öğrencilerin proje tabanlı öğrenme sürecindeki görüşleri ve kazanımları ortaya çıkartılmıştır. Bulgular, öğrencilerin kavramsal, duyuşsal, bilimin doğası ile ilgili anlayışlar, disiplinler arası ilişkiler ve çevreye duyarlılığı gibi konularda önemli kazanımlar edindiğini ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, öğrenci günlüklerinden elde edilen veriler öğrencilerin kariyer planlamalarının, hatta meslek seçimlerinin ve geleceğe bakış açılarının değiştiğini göstermiştir. Bu araştırmanın sonuçlarına dayanarak, öğretmenlere sunulacak mesleki gelişim eğitimlerinin etkili ve sürdürülebilir olabilmesi için mesleki gelişim programlarına katılan öğretmenlere mentorlük desteğinin de sağlanmasının önemli olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

öğretmen mesleki gelişimi, mentorlük, proje tabanlı kimya öğretimi, okul dışı öğrenme ortamları.

The Impacts of A Teacher Who Received Mentorship Support from A Teacher Professional Development Program for Informal Learning on Students' Reflections - A Case Study

The aim of this study is to reveal the effects of a mentoring process on a teacher who has participated in BILMER (abbreviation of the project that develops a professional development program for science centers) project workshops which support the integration of extracurricular learning environments such as Science Centers into school curricula, and the effect of the mentoring process regarding project-based learning over the students. In this study, case study method was used; data were collected from the teacher and her students through qualitative tools. The chemistry teacher who participated in the workshop was followed during the mentoring period and she was observed during the projects-based activities conducted with the students. Data analysis reveals students' views regarding the projects based learning and their gains concerning the process. Findings indicate that students have achieved significant gains in terms of conceptual aspects, affective aspects, and understanding of the nature of science, interdisciplinary aspects, and awareness about the environment. In addition, data gathered from student diaries showed that students' career planning, even career choices and their future perspectives have changed after the implementation. Based on the findings, the importance of providing mentorship support to teachers in professional development programs is stressed from many aspects, so that it can be ensured that professional development programs to be offered to teachers are effective and sustainable.
