Abstract

Based on qualitative research method, the purpose of this study was to describe and document social studies teacher candidates’ perceptions of Europe, the Middle East and Turkey’s neighbors together with their perspectives on the cultures of the Middle East and Europe. A purposeful sampling was used to identify and recruit research participants and a semi-structured interview protocol was employed to elicit participants’ viewpoints on the research topic. The analysis of the interview transcripts by means of the techniques and strategies of inductive qualitative data analysis showed that participants’ viewpoints on the topic were characterized by a dualistic thinking in that they viewed Turkey’s neighbors solely in terms of a friend-enemy dichotomy, drawing heavily on their historical knowledge in their explanations which were mainly political in character and focus. Participants’ viewpoints were in part affected by their gender.

Özet

Nitel araştırma yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışma, sosyal bilgiler öğretmen adaylarının Avrupa, Ortadoğu ve Türkiye’ye komşu ülkelere ilişkin algıları ile birlikte Avrupa ve Ortadoğu kültürü hakkındaki düşüncelerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada katılımcıları belirlemek için amaçlı bir örneklem seçimi, katılımcıların görüşlerini elde etmek için de yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme protokolü temel veri toplama yöntemi olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, kod ve kategorilerin verilere dayanmasını öngören endüktif nitel analiz yöntemi kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, öğretmen adaylarının düalistik bir düşünce yapısına sahip oldukları, çalışma kapsamına giren ülkelere yönelik bakış açılarının dost-düşman ekseni etrafında şekillendiği, açıklamalarının daha çok siyasi karakterde ve tarih bilgisine dayalı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Cinsiyet faktörünün katılımcıların bakış açısında kısmen de olsa etkili olduğu görülmüştür.
