Abstract

This study explores cognitions of pre-service English language teachers in relation to dealing with most commonlyexperienced in-class challenges in foreign language teaching and the influences that shape their cognitions.Adopting qualitative research design, a case study was conducted to provide an account of pre-service Englishlanguage teachers’ cognitions. Data for this study were collected in two main stages. The first stage involvedcollection of the base-line data through an open-ended questionnaire with a view to identifying in-class challengesexperienced by in-service English language teachers. The second stage included scenario-based interviews withpre-service teachers that took place before and after the practicum. Results of the study reveal that (1) pre-serviceteachers generated various strategies in their pre- and post-practicum cognitions; (2) there were traces of changein cognitions due to practicum; (3) courses in teacher education program, pre-service teachers’ own learningexperiences, and practicum experiences emerged as influences that shape their cognitions.

Özet

Bu çalışma hizmet öncesi İngilizce öğretmenlerinin yabancı dil öğretiminde sık karşılaşılan sınıf içi zorluklarla baş etmelerine ilişkin bilişleri ve bunları şekillendiren unsurları incelemektedir. Nitel araştırma desenini benimseyen bu çalışmada, hizmet öncesi İngilizce öğretmenlerinin bilişlerinin araştırılması amacıyla bir durum çalışması yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın veri grubu iki ana aşamada toplanmıştır. İlk aşamada saha çalışması yapılmış ve hizmet içi İngilizce öğretmenlerinden açık uçlu bir anket aracılığıyla sık karşılaşılan sınıf içi zorlukları belirlemek amacıyla veri toplanmıştır. İkinci aşamada ise, hizmet öncesi İngilizce öğretmenleriyle staj öncesi ve staj sonrasında senaryo bazlı görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda (1) hizmet öncesi İngilizce öğretmenlerinin staj öncesi ve staj sonrası bilişlerinde çeşitli stratejiler ürettikleri, (2) bilişlerinde staj sürecinden kaynaklanan farklılaşmalar olduğu, (3) öğretmen yetiştirme programında aldıkları dersler, kendi öğrenme deneyimleri ve staj sürecindeki deneyimlerinin bilişlerini şekillendiren unsurlar olarak ortaya çıktığı açığa vurulmuştur.
