Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine physical education experiences of candidate classroom teachers and the transformation of their perspectives along with the reflective teaching practices in courses. Qualitative case study approach was used in this study. Eight women candidate classroom teachers who were in the second year of their undergraduate studies at Ankara University Faculty of Education participated in the study. Criterion sampling was used during the selection of students. The data was collected by means of focus group interviews, observation, reflective diary and videos. Content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. Results that under the categories of past experiences and reflections and practices and tranformation were interpreted  under themes that “Is it a physical education lesson?”, “exceptions do not break the rule”, “it could have been more different” and “physical education was a lesson”. According to the obtained findings, candidate teachers have experiences during school years such as empty passing of physical education lessons, processing of different courses instead of physical education lessons, playing free games. In parallel with these experiences, teacher candidates have been expressed their future plans for this lesson as releasing and playing funny games before practicing. In addition to positive developments in teaching with reflection practices it emerges from their views that perception of free lesson of candidate teachers has changed. This study has revealed that past physical education lessons have a very important place in shaping the perspectives of candidate classroom teachers and that the teaching practices are significant in the transformation process of these perspectives.

Özet

Çalışmanın amacı aday sınıf öğretmenlerinin geçmiş beden eğitimi deneyimlerini ve öğretim uygulaması deneyimi ile birlikte bakış açılarının dönüşümünü keşfetmektir. Çalışmada nitel durum çalışması yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Ankara Üniversitesi Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi Sınıf Öğretmenliği ikinci sınıfta okuyan sekiz kadın öğretmen adayı çalışmaya katılmıştır. Veriler odak grup görüşmeleri, gözlem, yansıtıcı günlükler ve kamera kayıtları ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının beden eğitimi dersi ile ilgili geçmiş deneyimleri “Geçmiş Deneyimler ve Yansımalar” kategorisi altında, uygulamalar sonrası değişim ise “Uygulamalar ve Dönüşüm kategorisi altında sunulmuştur. Geçmiş deneyimler ve yansımalar kategorisindeki bulgular “beden eğitimi bir ders mi?”, “istisnalar kaideyi bozmaz?”, “daha farklı olabilirdi” temaları altında, uygulamalar ve dönüşüm kategorisi altında ise bulgular “beden eğitimi bir dersmiş” teması altında yorumlanmıştır.  Elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmen adayları okul yıllarında beden eğitimi derslerinin boş geçmesi, yerine farklı derslerin işlenmesi, serbest oyunların oynanması gibi deneyimlere sahiptir. Bu deneyimlere paralel olarak öğretmen adayları uygulama yapmadan once bu derse dair gelecek planlarını serbest bırakma, eğlenceli oyunlar oynatma olarak ifade etmişlerdir. Yansıtıcı uygulamalar ile birlikte öğretime ilişkin olumlu gelişmelerin yanı sıra, dersin boş ders olduğu algısı ile ilgili bakış açısının değiştiği aday öğretmenlerin görüşlerinden ortaya çıkmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, geçmiş deneyimlerin bakış açılarını şekillendirmede belirleyici olduğu ve yansıtıcı öğretim uygulamalarının bakış açısının dönüşümü sürecinde önemli olduğu söylenebilir.
