Abstract

Self-study as a qualitative research methodology has gained importance in the last threedecades in the western countries. Although it is a relatively new research methodology employing awide range of qualitative methods, it has formalized its rules and ethics and is now accepted as arespectful teacher education research methodology. Self-study has its roots in reflective teaching andaction research movements. However, putting the researcher’s “self” at the center of the researchstudy in different contexts with rather new and creative methods separates it from other approaches.The teacher conducting self-study takes a dual role as the researcher and also the subject of theresearch being studied. In this study, the researcher also studied his “self” from the perspectives of hisstudents and his colleagues. The study aimed at revealing the strengths and weaknesses of theresearcher as a teacher and to document whether the researcher teaches the way he preaches alongwith the opinions of the students towards his teaching practices. To this end, the researcher conducteda narrative self-study employing personal experience methods at the School of Foreign Languages, atAnadolu University in 2017-2018 spring term. The data analysis revealed some expected andsurprising results regarding the “self” and the “teaching practices” of the researcher.

Özet

Nitel bir araştırma yöntemi olarak bireysel araştırma (self-study) son yıllarda batı ülkelerindeönem kazanmıştır. Bireysel araştırma bir dizi nitel metodun uygulandığı nispeten yeni bir yöntemolmasına rağmen kendi kurallarını ve etik ilkelerini belirlemiş ve günümüzde saygın bir eğitimaraştırması yöntemi olarak kabul görmüştür. Bireysel araştırma yansıtıcı öğretim eylem araştırmasıgeleneğinden gelmektedir. Ancak, araştırmacının kendisini farklı bağlamlarda araştırmanınmerkezinde konumlandırması ve bunu daha yenilikçi ve yaratıcı metotlarla yapması bireyselaraştırmayı diğer yaklaşımlardan ayırmaktadır. Bireysel araştırma yürüten bir öğretmen hemaraştırmacı hem de araştırılan konu olarak ikili bir rol üstlenir. Bu çalışmada da araştırmacı kendisiniöğrencilerinin ve çalışma arkadaşlarının görüşlerine dayanarak incelemiştir. Çalışma, araştırmacınınbir öğretmen olarak güçlü ve zayıf yanlarını belirlemek ve inandığı değerlerle öğretimuygulamalarının ne kadar tutarlı olduğunu öğrencilerinin görüşlerine dayanarak ortaya koymayıamaçlamıştır. Bu amaçla, araştırmacı kişisel deneyim metotlarına dayalı öyküleyici bir bireyselaraştırma desenlemiştir. Çalışma Anadolu Üniversitesi Yabancı Diller Yüksekokulu’nda 2017-2018Bahar döneminde araştırmacının kendi öğrencileriyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularıbeklenen sonuçların yanında araştırmacının kendisi ve öğretmenlik uygulamaları hakkında bazışaşırtıcı sonuçlar ortaya koymuştur.
