İlkokul Öğretmenleri̇ni̇n Kaynaştirma Uygulamasina İli̇şki̇n Tutumlari Ve Yeterli̇li̇k Algilari: Bi̇r Karma Yöntem Araştirmasi

“…Benzer şekilde Aker (2014) de cinsiyet değişkeninin öğretmen tutumlarında pozitif etki yarattığını vurgulamaktadır. Bununla birlikte cinsiyet, öğrenim düzeyi, mesleki deneyim, kaynaştırma eğitimi alma ve ÖG yakını olma gibi değişkenlerin duygu, tutum ve kaygılar üzerinde etkili olmadığı bulgusunu rapor eden başka araştırmalar da bulunmaktadır (Bilgin, 2018;İnceler & Özder, 2020;Karasu, 2009). Araştırma bulgularındaki bu farklılıkların örneklem farklılıklarından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir.…”
