Abstract

The graduate classrooms in US universities are one of the most culturally diverse educational settings in the world, representing very different cultures. Each student in such a multicultural setting must differ in his approach to educational practices carried out in the classroom. Participation to discussions is one of them. This study aimed to explore how international graduate students studying at a US university contribute to classroom discussions and how and why they differ from their American counterparts. Therefore, a graduate seminar was observed for eight weeks. Results of qualitative analysis revealed that international students differ from their American classmates in their participation to classroom discussions in "patterns of turn taking" and "patterns of participation and its quality" due to cultural differences. It was concluded that international students should be supported in their struggle to adapt to the expectations of the new culture for them to become successful in culturally-diverse settings.

Özet

ABD üniversitelerindeki lisansüstü ders verilen sınıflar birçok farklı kültürü temsil ettiklerinden dünyanın kültürel açıdan en çok çeşitlilik gösteren eğitim ortamlarından birini oluştururlar. Bu tür çok kültürlü ortamlardaki her bir öğrencinin eğitim faaliyetlerine yaklaşımı farklı olmalıdır. Sınıf tartışmalarına katılım bu faaliyetlerden biridir. Bu çalışma, ABD'deki bir üniversitede uluslar arası lisansüstü eğitim gören öğreticilerin sınıf tartışmalarına nasıl katıldığını ve nasıl ve neden Amerikan öğrencilerden farklılık gösterdiklerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Bu nedenle, lisansüstü bir seminer dersi sekiz hafta boyunca gözlenmiştir. Niteliksel analiz sonuçları uluslar arası öğrencilerin sınıf tartışmalarına katılmada Amerikalı öğrencilerden "söz alma şekilleri" ve "katılım şekilleri ve kalitesi" açısından farklılık gösterdiklerini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Uluslar arası öğrencilerin çok kültürlü ortamlarda başarılı olabilmeleri için yeni kültürün beklentilerine uyum sağlamaya çalışırken verdikleri mücadelede desteklenmeleri gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
