Özet:

 

Bu araştırmanın amacı eğitim bilimlerinde lisansüstü eğitimlerini tamamlayan ilk ve ortaöğretimde görevli öğretmenlerin lisansüstü eğitim yapmaya karar vermelerinde etkili olan faktörleri belirleyip bunları çeşitli açılardan incelemek ve lisansüstü eğitimleri süreçlerinde karşılaştıkları sorunları belirlemektir. Bu amaçla, öğretmenlerin lisansüstü programı tercih sebepleri, programdan ne umduklarını, programın beklentilerini ne derece karşıladığı ve karşılaştıkları sorunları kendi söylemlerinden hareketle çeşitli açılardan incelenmiştir. Nitel bir durum çalışması olan bu araştırmada tarama modeli kullanılmış olup katılımcıların belirlenmesinde amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden maksimum çeşitlilik örneklemesi kullanılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında uzman görüşleri alınarak hazırlanan “Lisansüstü Eğitime İlişkin Görüşme Formu” kullanılmıştır. 2010- 2011 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında farklı illerde görev yapan, farklı mesleki deneyime sahip, farklı üniversitelerin lisansüstü eğitim programlarından mezun olmuş 30 öğretmen ile görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Veriler, içerik analizi yaklaşımı ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, öğretmenler, genel olarak lisansüstü eğitimi “kişisel gelişim, meslekî kıdemde kolaylık sağlaması ve akademik personel olmak” için tercih etmektedirler. Kaydoldukları programı tercih sebeplerini ise “alanlarında ileri düzey bilgi edinme ve yeni öğretim yöntem ve tekniklerini anlama” olarak belirtmişler, eğitim sürecinde karşılaştıkları problemleri ise temelde, “yükseköğretimden kaynaklanan danışmanlık ile ilgili sorunlar, görev yaptıkları okullarda ise okul yöneticilerinin ders saatlerini düzensiz planlaması” olarak belirtmişlerdir.

Necessary facilities should be fulfilled and necessary chances should be supplied by Ministry of Education for the teachers who search, get knowledge and collect data for their dissertations. Enthusiasm of teachers for new technics should be attached importance and a lesson for the recent developments should be added into curriculum of MA education.

Necessary precautions should be taken to encourage teachers for MA education, additional lesson payment for the teachers that have completed MA or Ph.D should be supplied, struggles of teachers for personal development should be supported financially and “learning payment” for the teachers whose MA education goes on should be allocated for each semester.
