Özet

Bu çalışma, bazı eğitim paydaşlarının görüşlerine dayalı olarak Türkiye'de tartışmalı konuları tespit etmeyi ve öğretmenlerin deneyimlerini bu tartışmalı konular açısından analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, nitel araştırma deseninde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını üniversitelerin eğitim bilimleri, matematik ve fen bilimleri, Türkçe ve sosyal bilimler, ilköğretim, yabancı diller ve güzel sanatlar bölümlerinden 250 akademisyen; Eskişehir ili devlet okullarında görev yapan 26 sınıf öğretmeni, din kültürü ve ahlak bilgisi, Türkçe, fen bilgisi, matematik ve İngilizce öğretmeni; ve 5 eğitim sendikasının temsilcileri oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, öğretmenlerden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler; akademisyenler ve eğitim sendikaları temsilcilerinden ise açık uçlu anketler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Tüm verilerin analizinde tümevarımsal analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma, eğitim paydaşlarının yardımıyla tespit edilen tartışmalı konuların ilköğretim programında ve öğretmenlerin uygulamalarında çoğunlukla yer almadığını; başka bir deyişle ihmal edilen eğitim programı kapsamında kaldığını göstermiştir.
