Curriculum evaluation is a process carried out to decide the effectiveness of training programs. In this process, the strengths and aspects of the training programs that are open to improvement are emphasized. Therefore, curriculum evaluation studies are an important part of curriculum development. In this respect, it is important to consider the research studies on curriculum evaluation studies together in order to develop curriculum. This study aims to review the postgraduate theses completed on the evaluation of curricula in Turkey between 2007 and 2019 according to several variables and to determine the research trend in this field. The method of the research was formed by systematic review. In this context, 586 postgraduate theses written on curriculum evaluation were reviewed. It was determined that the theses showed a balanced distribution according to years and were generally at master’s level. The postgraduate theses were mainly based on quantitative research methods, and in recent years, there has been a tendency towards qualitative and mixed-method studies. Questionnaires and interviews were used in the theses mostly prepared in accordance with the survey model and the data were collected from teachers and students. In the one-fifth of the theses on the evaluation of curricula which were examined within the scope of this research (105 theses), it was determined that curriculum evaluation models were taken into consideration and that the most preferred model was Stufflebeam’s CIPP model. Following this model, Erden’s "Element-Oriented Curriculum Evaluation Model" and Tyler’s "Objective-Centered Evaluation Model" were also preferred frequently.
Araştırmada, Kırıkkale Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Sınıf Öğretmenliği bölümünde okuyan ve bu bölümden mezun olan bireylerin eğitim fakülteli olmak noktasındaki bakış açılarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini sınıf öğretmenliği lisans programının birinci sınıfına devam eden 15 ve dördüncü sınıfına devam eden 14 öğretmen adayı ve bu programdan mezun olmuş 13 mezun/öğretmen oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Veriler betimsel analiz yöntemi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında katılımcıların öğretmenliği öğrenmeyi, öğretmeyi seven, çocukların hayatına dokunan onlara ilham veren, heyecanlı ve keyifli bir meslek olarak gördükleri ve bu mesleği çocuk sevgisi, kolay iş imkanı, kendine uygun bulma gibi nedenlerle tercih ettikleri belirlenmiştir. Öğretmenlik eğitiminden mesleki bilgi kazanma, etkinliklere dayalı ve uygulamalı eğitim alma vb. beklentileri olan adaylar programa yönelik derslerin uygulama boyutunun azlığı, sınava dayalı değerlendirmenin tercih edilmesi ve meslek derslerinin sayısının yetersiz olması gibi eksiklikler üzerinde durarak uygulamalı ve çocukları anlamalarını sağlayan, onların seviyesine nasıl inilebileceğini gösteren derslerin ve meslek bilgisi derslerinin artması gerektiğini belirtmişlerdir. Katılımcılara göre iyi bir öğretmende sabır, hoşgörü, güler yüz gibi kişilik özellikleri, iletişim becerisi, öğrenme merakı ve araştırma becerisi bulunmalıdır. Adaylar mezuniyet sonrası süreçte atanana kadar KPSS'ye hazırlanma, ücretli öğretmenlik yapma ya da özel okulda öğretmenlik yapma gibi tercihlerde bulunmuşlardır.
ABSTRACT. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the primary school first grade Life Studies Teachers' Supplementary Book and Student Books prepared by Ministry of National Education (MoNE) according to some criteria. Experts' opinions from different areas in Faculty of Educational Sciences were taken by a group of 21 people. The research data was analyzed by document analysis. The results showed that there were many language and expression problems, some expressions and visuals in student books were not appropriate for the target group's developmental level and there were some negative hidden messages. Also, it was found that some activities and visuals were not appropriate in terms of learning and teaching theories. These results should be taken into consideration by MoNE.
