Öğretmen mizaçları olarak zihin alışkanlıkları : Türk öğretmenlerin önemli hayat deneyimlerini içeren anlatı analizinden içgörüler

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Thesis (Ph.D.): Bilkent University, The Program of Curriculum and Instruction, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, 2017.Thesis (Master's) -- İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, 2017.This study investigates the role of significant life experiences that potentially contributed to development of five Turkish teachers’ dispositions as Habits of Mind. The study also further investigates the influences of selected significant life experiences (travelling, reading, professional development, spending time in nature, having hobbies) identified by the participants on their teaching practices. Narrative inquiry was used as the methodology to prompt participants’ recall of their significant life experiences through three in-depth interviews with each informant that took place over the course of a year. The gathered narrative data was first analysed to determine the significant life experiences and to identify emerging categories and themes. The analysis of participants’ significant life experiences resulted in two categories: learning environments and personal attributes. The experiences related to learning environments included the themes of family environment, school environment, and neighbourhood, while the experiences related to personal attributes were travelling, reading, professional development, spending time in nature, and hobbies. In an effort to relate these categories and their themes to dispositions as Habits of Mind, the researcher developed a conceptual framework. The framework was established through a deductive content analysis of literature, using intelligent behaviours to find relations between Habits of Mind and established educational theories. The framework also served to provide theoretical groundings to the model of Habits of Mind. The results of narrative data analysis using the conceptual framework revealed that all participants consider their experiences related to family environment, travelling, reading, professional development, spending time in nature, and having hobbies as the most significant life experiences, which contributed to development of their Habits of Mind. The findings also indicated that these life experiences potentially contributed to participants’ dispositions as Habits of Mind and teaching practices in a positive manner. Based on the findings of the study the researcher suggest travelling, reading, professional development, spending time in nature, and having hobbies be emulated in teacher education programs in order to help pre-service teachers develop effective teaching dispositions and teaching practices. The conceptual framework can be used to elevate understanding of dispositions in teacher education and teacher educators can use the conceptual framework for monitoring and assisting pre-service teachers to develop effective dispositions as Habits of Mind.by Servet Altan.Ph.

Leading and teaching with habits of mind in research and practice

Teachers and researchers in education today are charged with helping learners resolve constantly changing global and regional issues. These issues do not have simple solutions and addressing them requires critical and creative ways of thinking. Essential to developing these thinking skills is to examine current dispositions and behaviors; to become more mindful of why we think the way we do and to become more thoughtful about actions we take. In Mindfulness and Thoughtfulness: Leading and Teaching with Habits of Mind in Research and Practice, practitioners and researchers in the field of education present learning theories, case studies, teaching techniques, and professional development strategies associated with these Habits of Mind. Readers will find teaching inventories, self-assessment tools, and reflection exercises to become mindful and thoughtful teachers and educational researchers.Şuba

Learner Profile Attributes in IB Teaching: Insights from a Continuum School in Turkey

This article presents findings from a case study of a K-12 school in Turkey where teachers shared perceptions of how the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile attributes related to their own practice. While discussing the interdependency of the attributes, teachers considered that being an inquirer is the most valuable attribute for effective International Baccalaureate teachers. Participants at all grade levels believed that being open-minded and reflective were important attributes. Despite the importance of inquiry, participants shared that they feel most capable of implementing the attribute of being knowledgeable. The conceptual framework developed for this study may be used by schools and teacher educators to develop attributes of teachers who can help students become global citizens with intercultural understandings.WOS:0008866266000012-s2.0-85143163238Emerging Sources Citation IndexQ3ArticleUluslararasi isbirligi ile yapilan - EVET2022YÖK - 2022-23Kasi
