Öz. Söz konusu bu araştırma okul öncesi eğitimini orman okulunda alan çocukların okul fenomuna yönelik deneyimlerini anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda araştırma 32 çocuktan oluşan bir çalışma grubuyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan fenomenoloji modeli esas alınarak yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın verilerini çocukların okul hakkındaki çizimleri ve çizimlerine dair yapılan görüşme kayıtları oluşturmaktadır. Elde edilen veriler postpozitivist felsefe temelinde araştırmacı merkezli yöntemlerden biri olan üçgenleme tekniğine dayalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda çocukların ormanı bir mekân olarak algıladıkları ve bu şekilde deneyimledikleri tespit edilmiştir. Orman okullarının çocuk-doğa ilişkisi, keşif duygusu, arkadaşlık ilişkileri ve oyunun çocuğun okul hayatındaki yeri açısından güçlü yönlerinin varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca çocukların önemli bir bölümü orman okulunda kendilerini iyi hissettiklerini belirtmişlerdir. Tüm bu sonuçlardan hareketle araştırmacılar farklı paydaşlarla yürütülen çalışmaların önemine dikkat çekmekle birlikte orman okulunun okul denilen fenomu yeniden şekillendirebileceğini ve bunun araştırılmaya değer olduğunu düşünmektedirler.
This study aimed to develop mathematics teaching anxiety scale for prospective primary school teachers. It was designed based on survey method and conducted with four sampling group consisting of 956 prospective primary school teachers at Education Faculties in Turkey. First sampling group was consisted of 404 prospective primary school teachers and 96 out of it were involved in the application of open-ended questions and 308 were involved in exploratory factor analysis. 305 prospective primary school teachers in the second sampling group participated in the confirmatory factor analysis, 108 prospective teachers in the third group were involved in criterion validity and 139 prospective teachers in the fourth one participated in the test-retest reliability analysis. As a result of the principal component analysis of the Mathematics Teaching Anxiety Scale (MTAS), it was found that the scale indicating single factor structure and consisting of 31 items (47.43% of the total variance). After suggested modifications, the scale MTAS was constructed with 19 items. 12 items were removed from the scale and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out with 19 items. According to CFA results (0≤X2 / df = 1.483≤2, RMSEA = 0.040, RMR = 0.050, AGFI = 0.908, TLI = 0.972, CFI = 0.976, IFI = 0.976, GFI = 0.928, NFI = 0.930 and RFI = 0.919), it was confirmed that the scale structure was consisting of 19 items and one dimension. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the final form of Mathematics Teaching Anxiety Scale was calculated as 0.93.
The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review research concentrating on studies regarding 'Mathematics anxiety'. 59 papers were reanalyzed in order to answer the questions derived from the main aim in terms of the rules of systematic review method. These studies were reviewed and analyzed by taking account of their aims, designs, sampling and results. While doing this, the similarities and differences of the reviewed studies were also found. It was seen that most of these studies conducted with middle school students. It was also found that the majority of reviewed studies were designed according to quantitative approaches. The review shows that mathematics anxiety is resulted from students' achievement, self-efficacy and fear along with parents' and teachers' lack of supports in mathematics. The results gathered from reviewed studies suggest that studies designed with approaches like qualitative and mixed-method and studies focused on various topics related with 'Mathematics anxiety' with different sampling are needed. In conclusion, this systematic review study provides some fruitful information for the area and so for the further studies.
ÖZET THE DIRECTORS' AND TEACHERS' SUGGESTIONS FOR THE 'TEACHING EXPERIENCE' LESSON ABSTRACTThis study was aimed to find out teachers' and directors' suggestions for the 'teaching experience' lesson. A semi-structured questionnaire form was delivered to 670 teachers and 22 directors selected purposively from 22 schools in this qualitative research study. The themes derived from the data analyzed based on content analysis's rules were; supporting the effectiveness of the process, faculty-school cooperation and interaction, the period of practice and no need any changes. According to the results, it was suggested that pre-service teachers should spend time in schools more than they used to do, there should be decrease in number of pre-service teachers for each teacher, faculty-school cooperation and interaction should be provided. Furthermore, the extension of the lesson's period and beginning with the term time was suggested.
