Abstract

The zone of proximal development that is the basis for social constructivism introduced by Vygostky means the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers. In that sense, teacher roles seem to be vital in the learning environment designed considering social constructivism. This study aimed to determine the constructiv-ist roles in planning, acquiring higher order skills, motivating and conceptualization roles of the teachers in social constructivist learning environment. The study was realized with 226 prospective teachers attending to Measurement and Evaluation course. In line with the purpose of the study, social constructivist learning environments were established and the researchers performed the roles in line with social constructivism. Data was obtained through a questionnaire developed by the researchers and through the daily journals written by prospective teachers. The results clarified that the perceptions of the prospective teachers in relation to the roles of the researchers' social constructivist performances were highly positive.

Özet

Sosyal yapılandırmacılığın temellerini oluşturan Vygotsky'nin yakınsal gelişim alanına göre, öğrenenlerin kendi başlarına çözebilecekleri problemlerin yanı sıra başkalarının yardımı ile çözebilecekleri problemler vardır. Bu bağlamda sosyal yapılandırmacı öğrenme ortamında öğrenenlerin başkalarının yardımıyla çözebilecekleri problemlerle ilintili olarak öğretmen rolleri önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının sosyal yapılandırmacı bir öğrenme ortamında öğretmenlerin yapılandmcı (planlayıcı, üst düzey becerilerin kazanımı, anlamlandırma, güdüleme) rollerine ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemektir. Araştırma pedagojik formasyon kapsamında "Ölçme ve Değerlendirme" dersini alan 226 öğretmen adayı üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma sürecinde yapılandırmacı yaklaşıma dayalı öğrenme ortamları oluşturulmaya çalışılmış ve araştırmacılar da bu yaklaşıma dayalı rolleri sergilemişlerdir. Verilerin elde edilmesinde araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen anket formu ve öğretmen adaylarının günlüklerinden yararlanılmıştır. Verilerin analizi sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının otantik görev odaklı sosyal yapüandırmacı öğrenme ortamındaki öğretmen rollerine ilişkin görüşlerinin çok olumlu olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
