Özet

Lisans eğitimini tamamlamak ve lisans eğitimi sonrasında alınan öğretmenlik diploması mesleki anlamda öğrenimin sona erdiği anlamına gelmemektedir. Bilakis, eğitim felsefelerindeki değişim ve teknolojide meydana gelen gelişmeler, sürekli mesleki gelişimi gerekli hale getirmektedir. Mesleki gelişim programları, öğretmenlik bilgisi, sınıf içi öğretim davranışları ve öğretim becerilerini geliştirmesi bakımından öğretmenler için son derece önem taşımaktadır. Başka bir deyişle, öğretmenlerin, öğretmenlik mesleğinin gerekliliklerini daha iyi karşılayabilmeleri için alan bilgilerini sürekli geliştirme arzusunda olan bir araştırmacı ve öğretici olarak hareket etmeleri gerekmektedir. 21.yüzyıl, yaşam boyu öğrenmeyi zorunlu kılan bir çağ olarak tanımlanabilir; bu da demek oluyor ki, öğretmenler için öğrenim süreci asla sona eren bir süreç değildir. Öğretmenlerin mesleki öğrenimini ve mesleki anlamda gelişimini desteklemek amacıyla çeşitli çalıştaylar, kurslar, seminerler ve paneller gibi hizmet-içi eğitim faaliyetleri düzenlenebilmektedir. Öğretmenlerin mesleki eğitim ihtiyaçlarına yönelik olarak belirli bir eğitim programı içeriği belirlenmekte ve bu program yüz- yüze, çevrimiçi ve karma yöntem gibi çeşitli yöntemleri kullanarak uygulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ise, bahsi geçen bu üç yöntemin tanımları yapılmış, artı ve eksi yönleri belirlenmiş; alan yazını ve alanla ilgili çalışmaların bulgularına dayanarak bahsi geçen bu yöntemlerin öğretmen eğitiminde kullanılabilirliği ve öğretmenlerin üzerinde etkililiği tartışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, İngilizce öğretmenliği lisans ve lisansüstü (yüksek lisans ve doktora) programlarıyla ilgili olarak bazı pedagojik çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur.
