Özet

Öğretmen yetiştirme süreçlerinin önemli paydaşlarından biri olan okullarda uygulama öğretmenlerinin hizmet öncesi öğretmenlere vermiş olduğu destek son yıllarda bir çalışma konusu olmuştur. Aynı zamanda uygulama okullarında yaşanan kuram-uygulama boşluğu sorunu da çalışılmaktadır. Gelişen teknolojinin de ışığında, bu çalışmanın amacı uygulama öğretmenlerinin uygulama okullarında öğretmen adaylarına kuram-uygulama boşluğu açısından verdikleri desteği incelemektir. Bu nitel çalışmada veri a) yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler, b) bir çevrimiçi yansıtma ve dönüt ortamı ve c) bir odak grup görüşmesi yoluyla toplanmıştır. İçerik analizi sonucunda söz konusu destekle ilgili olarak ortaya çıkan alt başlıklar; danışman rolü- öğretmen rolü, yeni kuramsal bilgi ve kişilik özellikleri olarak belirlenmiştir. Bulgular bu alt başlıklar ve çevrimiçi ortamda işbirliği açılarında yorumlanmıştır.
