4+4+4 Eğitim Sisteminde Birinci Sınıf Öğretmenlerinin Karşılaştığı Zorluklar
Abstract
This study investigates the difficulties teachers experienced at the first grade level in the new 4+4+4 school system introduced into Turkey in the 2012-2013 academic year, as well as the strategies they devised to deal with these problems. Through a self-administered questionnaire, data was collected from 301 first grade teachers. Demographics, the difficulties teachers faced in the new school system in adaptation and preparation activities, planning the school year, introducing games and physical education activities, teaching academic and basic skills and managing classrooms were the major issues rised. In addition, a series of one- way ANOVA and independent samples t-tests explored the relationships between background variables and the problems raised. The results revealed that teachers had most difficulties in teaching 60-65-month-old students. These difficulties were found to differ in relation to the type of school, class size and the number of 60-65, 66-71 and 72 (and more) month-old students in class.
