Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde kullanılan ders kitaplarını Türkçe okutmanlarının görüşlerine göre incelemektir. Bu kapsamda yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde kullanılan ders kitapları sahip oldukları özellikler açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışma nitel ve nicel yaklaşımlardan yararlanılarak hazırlanmıştır. Nicel boyutta Rasch ölçme modeli kullanılırken nitel boyutta ise durum çalışmasından yararlanılmıştır. Veriler toplanırken Türkiye’deki üniversitelerin Türkçe öğretim merkezlerinde görev yapan 54 okutmandan görüş alınmış ve bunlardan 32’sinin verileri araştırmada kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada nicel veri toplama aracı olarak Batdı’nın (2010) geliştirdiği ders kitaplarını değerlendirme ölçeğinden yararlanılmıştır. Nitel veriler için araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde Rasch ve içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. İçerik analizi yapılırken Maxqda programı kullanılarak kodlar ve temalar çıkarılmıştır. Katılımcıların görüşlerini desteklemek için örnek alıntılar eklenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda yabancı dil olarak Türkçe öğretiminde kullanılan kitapların genel özellikleri ortaya konarak olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri belirlenmiştir. Yapılan farklı analizler sonucunda Yedi İklim ve İstanbul kitaplarının diğer kitaplara göre artı yönlerinin olduğu görülmüştür.
