SÖZLEŞMELİ OKUL (CHARTER SCHOOL) SİSTEMİNİN OKUL YÖNETİCİLERİNİN GÖRÜŞLERİNE GÖRE DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Bu araştırmada gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerden bazılarında uygulanan sözleşmeli okul sisteminin ülkemize uygulanabilirliğinin okul yöneticilerinin görüşlerine göre incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Özel teşebbüslerin eğitime öğretmenler problemlerin çözümünde sözleşmeli okulların katkı sağlayacağı için araştırmanın literatürdeki boşluğu dolduracağı ve sözleşmeli okulların uygulamasına dair değerlendirmeyi deneyimli okul yöneticilerinin yapabileceği düşünülmüştür. Çalışma nitel araştırma olarak desenlenmiş, veriler yarı - yapılandırılmış görüşme formlarının kullanıldığı iki odak grup görüşmesiyle toplanmıştır. Araştırma çerçevesinde yapılan görüşmelere farklı okul türlerinde görev yapan ve çeşitli kıdemlerde 9 okul yöneticisi katılmıştır. Araştırmada toplanan veriler üzerinde betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmada geçerlik ve güvenirliği sağlamak için araştırmacılar görüşmelere beraber katılmış, ses kaydı alınmış, kayıtların yazıya dökülmüş halleri görüşmecilere onay için sunulmuş, yapılan kodlamalar için alan uzmanı araştırmacılardan uzman görüşü alınmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcılardan 6 tanesi sözleşmeli okul sisteminin Türkiye'de uygulanabileceğini, 3 tanesi ise uygulanamayacağını ya da uygulanmasında problemlerle karşılaşılacağını ifade etmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcılar yasal çerçevenin iyi oluşturulması, kontrol ve denetim mekanizmasının iyi kurulması ve işletilmesi gerektiği gibi öneri ve uyarılarda bulunmuşlardır. Araştırmaya katılan okul yöneticileri sistemin Türk eğitim sistemine "performansın artması", "fırsat eşitliği" ve "rekabet ortamı oluşturulması" gibi faydalar; "ideolojik problemler", "öğretmenlerin iş garantisinin olmaması" ve "personelin özlük haklarında yaşanacak kayıplar" gibi zararlar verebileceğini ifade etmişlerdir

THE EVALUATION OF APPLICABILITY OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL SYSTEM ACCORDING TO THE VIEWS OF THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS

In this research, it is aimed to examine the applicability of charter school system which is employed in certain regions and schools in developed and developing countries according to school principals’ views. The study was designed as a qualitative study, and the data were gathered through focus group interviews via semi – structured interview form. 9 school principals who work in different institutions participated in the interviews. Descriptive and content analysis were carried out on the data. To provide validity and reliability, the researchers took part in the interviews together, the interviews were tape recorded, the transcriptions were sent to some of the participants for proof-reading and the categorizations made on qualitative data was examined by two researchers. According to the results, 6 of the participants supported the idea that the charter school system can be practiced in Turkey. The participants expressed that the legal framework and controlling and supervision mechanisms of such a system should be constructed carefully and captiously. The participants alleged this system can be beneficial to Turkish education system from such aspects as “increase in the performance of teachers” and “equality of opportunity” and can be harmful to Turkish education system in aspects such as “ideological/political problems” and “unguaranteed working conditions for teachers”
