SINIF ÖĞRETMENLERİNİN MATEMATİK DERSİNE İLİŞKİN TUTUMLARININ CEŞİTLİ DEĞİŞKENLER AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ: ARTVİN VE AYDIN İLİ ÖRNEKLERİ

Bu calismada sinif ogretmenlerinin matematik dersine karsi tutumlarinin bazi degiskenler acisindan incelenmesi amaclanmistir. Arastirma tarama modelinde betimsel bir calismadir. Calismanin orneklemini Artvin ve Aydin merkez ilcede calisan 315 sinif ogretmeni olusturmaktadir. 2015 – 2016 egitim ogretim yilinda gerceklestirilen calismada veri toplama araci olarak anket uygulanmistir. Arastirmaya katilan sinif ogretmenlerinin matematik dersine karsi tutumlarini incelemek icin elde edilen veri seti SPSS 22.0 paket programinda analiz edilmistir. analiz kapsaminda, frekans tablolari, guvenirlik ve gecerlilik analizi, Kaiser-Mayer-Olkin orneklem yeterliligi olcutu, Bartlett sinamasi, faktor analizi, bagimsiz orneklem t testi, tek yonlu varyans analizi ve Tukey testinden faydalanmistir. Arastirmanin sonuclarina gore, yas degiskeni ile egitim duzeyi arasinda anlamli bir iliski bulunmustur. (p < 0,05) 59 yas ve alti katilimcilarda egitim duzeyi incelendiginde cogunluk olarak lisans duzeyinde egitime sahip olduklari gorulurken 60 ve uzeri yas grubunun %75’inin egitim duzeyi on lisans, %25’inin ise lisans oldugu belirlenmistir. Kadin katilimcilarin ev odevi verme sikliginin erkeklere gore daha yuksek oldugu belirlenmistir. Erkek katilimcilarin Egitim Fakultesi Sinif Ogretmenligi Anabilim Dalinda, 3. Sinifta okutulan Matematik Ogretimi dersinin haftada 3 saat olmasina yonelik gorusleri kadinlara gore daha olumludur. Ogretmenlerin deneyim suresi ile ev odevi verme durumu arasinda anlamli bir anlamli bir iliski bulunamamistir. Egitim Fakultelerinin Sinif Ogretmenligi Anabilim Dallarinda okutulan matematik ders sayisinin arttirilmasi ve ders iceriginin zenginlestirilmesi onerisinde bulunulmustur. Ayrica Okutulan matematik dersinin ilkokul programi ile uyumlu hale getirilmesi tavsiye edilmistir.

INVESTIGATION OF TEACHING METHODS ON NUMBERS USED BY SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS WHO HAS PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHING DEGREE

The purpose of this research is to identify the instructional methods used by special education teachers with a primary school teaching degree when teaching numbers to special education students. Qualitative case study was used as the research method. Research was conducted at a school accredited by the Ministry of Education, serving students with moderate and severe mental disability. Purposeful sampling was used. Data was collected via semi structured interviews and observations of three educators with a primary school teaching degree and were in a segregated special education classroom. Gathered data was analyzed using descriptive analysis. According to the results, when teaching the numbers unit, special education teachers with a primary school teaching degree mostly preferred direct instruction with some exceptions where they utilized graded method. Teachers did not have sufficient knowledge of instructional methods used in the special education field, therefore they often improvised with the information they were accustomed to use in a general education setting. Although teachers were able to develop individual education plans with ease, they were struggling to implement these plans efficiently in the classroom.
