Özet

Bu araştırmada, Anadolu Üniversitesi Özel Eğitim Bölümü Zihin Engellilerin Öğretmenliği Programı son sınıf öğrencilerinin öğretmenlik uygulamasına ilişkin görüş ve önerilerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmış ve betimsel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmaya yirmi altı öğretmen adayı katılmıştır. Öğretmen adayları yaptıkları uygulamanın olumlu geçtiğini, farklı özür ve yaş gruplarıyla çalışma olanağı sağladığı için iki farklı kurumda uygulama yapmanın avantajlı olduğunu söylemişlerdir. Katılımcılar uygulama boyunca pek çok öğretim programı hazırladıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Öğretmen adayları, kavram öğretimi programı hazırlama ve uygulamayı en kolay, davranış değiştirme programı hazırlama ve uygulamayı en zor uygulamaya geçirdiklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Katılımcılar uygulama programının beklentileriyle örtüştüğünü belirtmişlerdir. Öğretmen adaylarının yarısı, uygulama öğretim elemanlarından aldıkları dönütlerin yeterli olduğunu, diğer yarısı ise, yeterli olmadığını dile getirmişlerdir.
