Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, özel gereksinimli öğrencilerie çalışan öğretmenlerin, yenilikçi pedagoji uygulamalarına yönelik görüşlerini incelemektir. Bu kapsamda öğretmenlerin yenilikçi pedagojik uygulamaları ne amaçla kullandıklarını belirlerken yine öğretmenlerin yenilikçi uygulamalara yer verdikleri sınıfta veya okulda karşılaştıkları çeşitli problemlerin neler olduğunu belirlemek de araştırmanın amaçları arasındadır. Nitel verilerin toplandığı bu çalışmada betimsel araştırma türlerinden biri olan tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yönteminden yaralanılmış ve özel gereksinimli bireylerle çalışan 34 öğretmenden veri toplanmıştır. Araştırma verileri, “Yenilikçi Pedagoji Görüşme Formu” aracılığıyla toplanmış olup betimsel analiz tekniğiyle çözümlenmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında elde edilen bulgular, özel gereksinimli bireylere çalışan öğretmenlerin çoğunlukla kendilerini yenilikçi olarak tanımladığı, öğrenci ilgi ve gereksinimlerini göz önünde tutarak çeşitli materyaller ile ders işlemeyi tercih ettiklerini göstermektedir. Ancak öğretmenlerin materyal eksikliği, öğrenme ortamının ve okulun fiziki yetersizliği, ekonomik sorunlar, öğrenen ve öğretmen hazırbulunuşluk düzeyinin istenilen düzeyde olmayışı gibi çeşitli sorunlarla karşılaştıkları belirlenmiştir.
