İngilizce Öğretmenliği Öğrencilerinin Lisans Programlarını Yansıtıcı Öğretim Açısından Değerlendirmeleri

Son yıllarda, yansıtıcı öğretim dil öğretmeni yetiştirme programlarında önemli bir yere sahip olmuştur. Bu konudaki temel soru yansıtıcı öğretimin dünya çapında İngiliz Dili Eğitimi programlarında kullanılıp kullanılmadığıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı , özellikle Türkiye’de ki yansıtıcı öğretim göz önüne alındığında, İngiliz Dili Eğitimi bölümlerindeki öğretmen adayı öğrencilerin bölümlerindeki programı nasıl değerlendirdiklerini araştırmaktır. 6 tema çerçevesinde 25 soruyu kapsayan anket 242 adet İngiliz Dili Eğitimi bölümü öğretmen adayı öğrencilerine verilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre, önemli sayıda öğretmen adayı, bölümlerinde kendi öğretmenlik deneyimlerini eleştirel olarak gözden geçirmelerine yardımcı olmak için yansıtıcı-öğretim-yaklaşımının uygulandığını düşünmektedir

ELT Student Teachers’ Evaluations of Their Program In Terms of Reflective Teaching

Reflective teaching has become a central concern in the history of language teacher education in recent years. The central question is whether reflective teaching is implemented in ELT Programs around the globe. This study aimed at investigating ELT student teachers’ evaluations of their ELT program with a specific focus on reflective teaching in Turkey. A questionnaire, consisting of 6 themes with 25 questions, was administered to 242 senior ELT student teachers. The findings display that overhelming majority of student teachers believe that their ELT program is implementing a reflective-teaching-based-approach with a view to helping its student teachers to critically reflect their own teaching practices
