Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, okul öncesi eğitimcilerinin mesleki gelişimlerini desteklemek ve sürekliliğini sağlamak amacıyla zamandan ve mekandan bağımsız bir öğrenme destek sistemi geliştirmektir. Bu amaçla, geliştirilen Uzaktan Okul Öncesi Öğretmen Destek Programı’na9 Türkiye genelinde 86 okul öncesi eğitimcisi gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Ağ tabanlı uzaktan destek programı geliştirme sürecinde tasarım tabanlı araştırma yöntemi kullanarak ADDIE (Analiz, Tasarım, Geliştirme, Uygulama, Değerlendirme) öğretim tasarımı uygulanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında, eğitim içeriği olarak okul öncesinde öğrenme merkezlerinin düzenlenmesi ve öğretmenin rolü üzerine odaklanılmıştır. Söz konusu tema çerçevesinde, öğrenme materyali olarak her biri 3-7 dakikalık beş animasyon destekli eğitim videosu hazırlanmıştır. Eğitim videolarının yanı sıra, konu ile ilgili bilimsel yayınlar, eğitim ortamlarına ilişkin web adresleri ek kaynak materyaller olarak öğretmenlerle paylaşılmıştır. Ayrıca her bir eğitim videosu için bireysel öğrenmeyi sınayan değerlendirme materyalleri hazırlanmış ve konularla ilgili tartışma grupları oluşturulmuştur. Kullanılan ortamının işlevselliği, kullanıcı değerlendirme anketi ile sınanmıştır. Çalışma sonunda, uzaktan eğitim yaklaşımıyla okul öncesi destek programının öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimini desteklediğine yönelik olumlu bir görüş edinilmiştir. Söz konusu mesleki eğitim modellerinin yaygınlaştırılması mevcut yüz yüze sürdürülen hizmet içi eğitimleri de doğrudan etkiler niteliktedir.
