Abstract

English language education has been provided at all levels of education for a long time in Turkey as well as in the rest of the world. In order to assess the objectives, content, expected target outputs, effectiveness or weakness of the language education given, program evaluation studies are carried out. In this study, a systematic review study was conducted in order to determine English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching program evaluation studies in Turkey published between 2017-2020, and to investigate the levels of these studies, research patterns and focus of the published articles. For systematic review, ERIC and Google Scholar databases were searched and the key words such as "program evaluation, EFL, Turkey" were used. When the results are examined, a total of 23 studies were found between the mentioned years, and most of the studies were conducted on university programs, and the majority of them were conducted as qualitative research. Based on the results, it was revealed that the program evaluation studies were not evenly distributed equally in terms of education level, and it was understood that the subfields of the program were studied rather than the general content. This undesired state revealed the need for more research on the general program content and lower education levels in program evaluation studies.

Özet

İngilizce dili eğitimi bütün dünyada olduğu gibi, Türkiye’de de uzun suredir eğitimin bütün kademelerinde yoğun olarak verilmektedir. Verilen dil eğitiminin hedeflerini, içeriğini, beklenen hedef çıktılarını, etkililiğini değerlendirmek için program değerlendirme çalışmaları kapsamlı olarak yapılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2017-2020 yılları arasında Türkiye’de İngilizce dili öğretimi program değerlendirme çalışmalarını belirlemek ve bu çalışmaların hangi seviyelerde yapıldığı, araştırma desenleri ve çalışma odak noktalarını belirlemek amacıyla sistematik inceleme çalışması yapılmıştır. Sistematik inceleme için ERIC ve Google Scholar veri tabanları taranmış olup, anahtar kelimeler olarak "program değerlendirme, EFL, Türkiye" kelimeleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde, belirtilen yıllar arasında toplam 23 çalışma bulunmuştur ve çalışmaların büyük çoğunluğu üniversite programları üzerine yapılmış olup birçoğunda nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucuna dayanarak, program değerlendirme çalışmalarının eğitim seviyesi olarak eşit dağılmadığı ortaya çıkmış olup program değerlendirmenin genel içeriğinden çok, alt-baslıklarının çalışıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Bu durum, program değerlendirme çalışmalarında genel program içeriğine ve alt kademe eğitim seviyelerine yönelik daha fazla araştırma yapılması ihtiyacını ortaya koymuştur.
