Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the opinions of biology teachers on open field studies which can be applied in biology education. In accordance with this purpose, this study was designed by qualitative research method. The research group of the study is composed of 30 biology teachers working in secondary schools. In this study, the data was obtained from semi-structured interview by researchers were devoloped. In the direction of the data obtained from the study, it was determined that biology teachers had an idea about open field studies, knew their advantages and difficulties; however,  they did not use these studies sufficiently in biology lessons.  Based on the results of this study, suggestions on biology curricula and teacher education on open field studies are offered.

Özet

Bu çalışma, biyoloji öğretmenlerinin biyoloji eğitiminde uygulanabilecek açık alan çalışmalarına yönelik görüşlerini ortaya koymayı amaçlayan nitel bir araştırmadır. Çalışma grubu, 30 biyoloji öğretmeninin katılımı ile oluşturulmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin analizinde betimsel ve içerik analizleri kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda biyoloji öğretmenlerinin açık alan çalışmaları hakkında fikir sahibi olduğu, avantajlarını ve zorluklarını bildiği ancak bu çalışmaları ders işleyişine yeterince dâhil etmediği, bu durumun ağırlıklı nedeninin ise müfredattaki konu yoğunluğu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma sonuçlarına dayanarak, açık alan çalışmaları ile ilgili biyoloji öğretim programlarına ve öğretmen eğitimine ilişkin öneriler ortaya konulmuştur.
