Öğretmenlerin Değişim Yorgunluğu Düzeyi: Demografik Değişkenler Açısından Karşılaştırma

Bu araştırmanın amacı öğretmenlerin değişim yorgunluğu düzeyini belirleyerek; değişim yorgunluğu düzeyininbir takım demografik değişkenler temelinde karşılaştırılmasıdır. Belirtilen amaç doğrultusunda araştırmada nicelaraştırma desenlerinden tekil tarama modeli esas alınmıştır. Araştırma iki farklı çalışma grubu ve evren üzerindeyürütülmüştür. Birinci ve ikinci çalışma gruplarından elde edilen veri setleri sırasıyla araştırma kapsamındageliştirilen değişim yorgunluğu ölçeğinin açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri; evrenden elde edilen veriseti ise betimsel analiz ve demografik değişkenler temelinde karşılaştırma amaçlı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bul gular öğretmenlerin “Katılıyorum” düzeyinde değişim yorgunluğu deneyimlediklerine; cinsiyet, öğrenim düzeyi,görev yapılan okul düzeyi, okulun bulunduğu yerleşim merkezi ve medeni durum gibi demografik değişkenlerinöğretmenlerin değişim yorgunluğu düzeylerini istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir biçimde farklılaştırmadığını; kıdemve mezun olunan fakülte değişkenlerinin ise değişim yorgunluğu düzeyinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farkyarattığını ortaya koymuştur. Buna göre, kıdemi 10 yıla kadar olan öğretmenlerin 16 yıl ve üzeri kıdeme sahipöğretmenlere göre; eğitim fakültesi mezunu öğretmenlerin ise fen edebiyat ve diğer fakültelerden mezun öğret menlere göre daha yüksek düzeyde bir değişim yorgunluğu deneyimledikleri görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulgularadayanarak, eğitim sisteminde daha az değişikliğe gidilmesi; nispeten kıdemi düşük ve eğitim fakültesi mezunuöğretmenlere çoklu değişim girişimlerinin yaşandığı süreçlerde ayrıca rehberlik sunulması önerilebilir.

Investigation of Teachers’ Change Fatigue Level: Comparison byDemographics

The aim of this study is to determine teachers’ change fatigue level and compare it based on some demographics. To this end, current study employed single screening model which is one of quantitative designs. The study was conducted on two different study groups and population. The data obtained from the first and second study groups were used to run exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the scale developed in scope of current study, respectively. On the other hand, the data from population was used for descriptive statistics and comparing the mean scores of groups based on demographics. The findings indicated that teachers had a “I agree” level change fatigue. Additionally, demographics such as gender, educational level, type of school (primary, secondary or high school), district that the school is located, and marital status did not create a statistically significant difference in teachers change fatigue level while experience and the faculty graduated did. The teachers with 10 years and below experience had a higher level of change fatigue than the teachers with 16 years and above experience. The teachers graduating from education faculties had a higher level of change fatigue than the teachers from other faculties. Based on the findings, it can be suggested that there should be fewer change initiatives in Turkish educational system. Also, teachers with less experience and graduates of education faculties should be given special guidance during multiple change initiatives.
