Özet:

 The present study aims to examine the stereotypes and prejudices of primary school students by taking into account the opinions of classroom teachers. The study was conducted using a basic qualitative research design focusing on how people interpret their life experiences. The study included 20 classroom teachers from various provinces across Turkey. The data were collected with the Semi-Structured Interview Form on Stereotypes and Prejudices in Primary School Students developed by the researchers. Content analysis was used in the analysis of the obtained data. According to the findings, primary school students have stereotypes about gender, ethnicity or race, language, religion, places, occupations, individuals with special needs, courses, socioeconomic level and individual differences. Students exhibit behaviors such as eschewing, staying away, excluding, not preferring, disgusting, and inhibiting the groups they have stereotypes. In order to reduce these stereotypes and prejudices, the skill of recognizing stereotypes and prejudices should be included in the Life Studies Curriculum. Thus, the development and spread of stereotypes and prejudices of primary school students should be prevented at an earlier stage.

 Araştırmada sınıf öğretmenlerinin görüşleri dikkate alınarak ilkokul öğrencilerinin sahip olduğu kalıp yargı ve ön yargılarının incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma, kişilerin yaşam deneyimlerini nasıl yorumladıklarına odaklanan temel nitel araştırma deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmaya, Türkiyenin farklı illerinde görev yapan 20 sınıf öğretmeni katılmıştır. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen İlkokul Öğrencilerinde Görülen Kalıp Yargı ve Ön Yargılara İlişkin Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizinde içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Ulaşılan bulgulara göre ilkokul öğrencileri cinsiyet, etnisite ya da ırk, dil, din, yerleşim yerleri, meslekler, özel gereksinimli bireyler, dersler, sosyoekonomik düzey ve bireysel farklılıklar ile ilgili konularda kalıp yargılara sahiptir. Öğrenciler, kalıp yargılara sahip oldukları gruplar karşısında kaçınma, uzak durma, dışlama, tercih etmeme, iğrenme ve engelleme gibi davranışlar sergilemektedir. Bu kalıp yargı ve ön yargıların azaltılması için kalıp yargı ve ön yargıyı fark etme becerisine Hayat Bilgisi Dersi Öğretim Programında da yer verilmelidir. Böylece, ilkokul öğrencilerinin kalıp yargı ön yargılarının gelişip yayılması daha erken bir süreçte önlenmelidir.
