Abstract

Although studies show that dialogic teaching is feasible and useful, the existing research has revealed that the authoritative discourse in which the teacher directs discussions tends to dominate. The current study investigated how students positioned themselves concerning the subject addressed in a dialogic learning environment. To this end, a science teacher, who was determined to have highly authoritative discourses, was asked to construct a dialogic lesson design on GMOs, a socio-scientific issue, after 12 weeks of training on dialogic teaching and communicative communication approach. After the application, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six students to elicit their opinions about the delivered lessons. Moreover, the same six students were asked to compare the dialogically instructed lessons with their previous science lessons by means of drawings and to explain their drawings. In findings, the student's opinions about the themes of teacher and student roles, classroom norms, learning environment, student characteristics, and student-student interaction in dialogic teaching were revealed, and the dialogic learning environment was interpreted on the basis of the students’ drawings. When the data obtained from the student interviews were examined, especially for classroom norms, it was found that all students likened their teacher to the pole star; that is, a guide and positioned themselves as participants who freely talked about and defended their opinions, researched and actively participated in the lesson. When the drawings and explanations of the students were examined, it was determined that the teacher allowed students to express their opinions and thoughts in the lessons instructed dialogically compared to the previous lessons, and thus more student participation was achieved in the dialogically delivered lessons.

Özet

Diyalojik öğretimin yapılabilir ve yararlı olduğuna dair çalışmalar olmasına rağmen, araştırmalar öğretmen tarafından tartışmaların yönlendirildiği otoriter sınıf söyleminin hakim olma eğiliminde olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmada, diyalojik bir öğrenme ortamında öğrencilerin kendilerini ele alınan konu ile bağlantılı olarak nasıl konumlandırdıkları incelenmiştir. Bunun için, oldukça otoriter söylemleri olduğu tespit edilen bir fen öğretmeninden, 12 hafta boyunca diyalojik öğretim ve iletişimsel yaklaşım üzerine aldığı eğitimlerden sonra sosyobilimsel bir konu olan GDO konusunda diyalojik bir ders tasarısı oluşturması istenmiştir. Uygulama sonrasında altı öğrenci ile işlenen dersler ile ilgili yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır, ayrıca aynı öğrencilerden diyalojik işlenen dersler ile daha önce işledikleri fen derslerini işleniş biçimi açısından resim çizerek karşılaştırmaları ve çizdikleri resimleri açıklamaları istenmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularında; diyalojik öğretimde öğretmen ve öğrenci rolü, sınıf normları, öğrenme ortamı, öğrenci özellikleri ve öğrenci-öğrenci etkileşimine yönelik oluşturulan temalara ilişkin öğrenci görüşleri açığa çıkarılmış ve öğrenci resimleri ile diyalojik öğrenme ortamı yorumlanmıştır. Öğrencilerin görüşme bulguları incelendiğinde; özellikle sınıf içi konumlara ilişkin görüşmeye katılan tüm öğrenciler öğretmenlerini kutup yıldızına yani rehbere benzetmişler, kendilerini ise fikirlerini özgürce söyleyip savunan, araştıran, derse aktif katılan katılımcılar olarak konumlandırmışlardır. Görüşmeye katılan öğrencilerin çizimleri ve yorumları incelendiğinde ise öğretmenin önceki fen derslerine göre diyalojik olarak işlediği derslerinde öğrencilerin fikir ve görüşlerini alarak derslere daha fazla öğrencinin aktif katılımının olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
