It can be suggested that the lecturers before anythingelse should have personal qualifications, communication skills and they should also be academically efficient.

Özet

Bu araştırma, öğretmen adaylarının ideal akademisyen niteliklerine ilişkin bilişsel kurgularını ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan durum çalışması deseninde yürütülmüştür. Çalışma grubunu 21 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubu, ölçüt örnekleme yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Veriler, repertory grid tekniği ile toplanmıştır. Öğretmen adayları ideal akademisyen niteliklerine ilişkin 210 geçerli bilişsel kurgu üretmiştir. En fazla yinelenen bilişsel kurgular sırasıyla iletişim becerileri, mesleki yeterlik, alanında uzmanlık, motivasyon becerisi, güler yüzlü olma, adil davranma, farklı görüşlere saygı, yenilikçi/yaratıcı, akademik/bilimsel donanım ve sınıf yönetimi becerisi şeklindedir. 210 bilişsel kurgu, işlevleri ve benzerlikleri göz önünde bulundurularak sekiz kurgu grubu altında toplanmıştır. Bu ana kurgu grupları: kişisel yeterlikler, akademik yeterlik, mesleki yeterlik, iletişim becerisi, öğrenci merkezlilik, motivasyon, mesleki etik ve demokratik tutum şeklindedir. Her şeyden önce öğretim elemanlarının kişisel niteliklere, iletişim becerilerine sahip olmaları ve akademik olarak verimli olmaları gerektiği söylenebilir.
