TURKISH CYPRIOT LITERATURE COURSE IN EMERGING CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL POLICIES
(International Association for Research in L1 Education, 2007) Pehlivan, Ahmet
In recent years, certain political changes have occurred in the Turkish Cypriot community with the accession of Cyprus to the European Union. Policies and parties in favor of this accession accepted the idea of a united Cyprus; the majority of the Turkish Cypriots (65%) voted in favor of a Cypriot identity. Such political transformations affected education as well. As one of the results of these new policies, a course entitled “Turkish Cypriot Literature” was introduced in schools. In this article we report a study on the ideology, content and instruction of the TCL course. In this study a questionnaire was given to high school teachers and students in order to find out their views about the ideology, content and instruction of the course. In addition, the authors of the TCL literary history were interviewed to gather their views on the content and ideology of the course. This study shows that a new ideology has been accepted by teachers, students and the authors of literary history. According to them the TCL course helps to contribute to the Turkish Cypriot culture and its values. In regard to the content of the TCL course it can be noted that the content of TCL is accepted by both the teachers and the students. However, the authors of the TCL literary history point to the fact that there are deficiencies and irrelevant subjects in the content of the TCL courses. The other research question of the study is to determine the views of the teachers and the students on the way TCL is taught. The teachers and the students are hesitant about the effectiveness of such instruction.
Discussions about Grammar Teaching Today
(Hakan Ülper, 2022) Pehlivan, Ahmet; Aydın, İbrahim Seçkin
Grammar teaching is one of the fields of study related to language-oriented teaching. What grammar is and with what content and how it should be taught has long been a matter of discussion both in linguistics and in the field of educational science since the antique age. These issues have been discussed in terms of linguistics and pedagogy. Grammar teaching, which is sometimes seen as equivalent to language education, has been accepted as a language teaching tool today. In this study, current issues in mother tongue teaching are discussed and compared in terms of different views. The results show that discussions on what grammar is and with what content and how it should be taught remain its currency. Theories that are at the center of current discussions are generally discussed along with the application dimension. According to the results obtained, it has been seen that many contemporary grammar teaching approaches, especially functional grammar and constructivism, cannot be adequately reflected in the teaching processes. Accordingly, it is revealed that although some current approaches are put forward, language teachers cannot break away from traditional practices for different reasons. It is seen as a necessity to show concrete ways to practitioners in the field by synthesizing the views put forward on grammar teaching.
Türkçe Öğretmen Adaylarının “Öğretmen” ve “Öğrenci” Kavramlarına İlişkin Kullandıkları Metaforlar
(Ankara Bilim Üniversitesi, 2010) Aydın, İ. Seçkin; Pehlivan, Ahmet
İngilizce “metaphor” sözcüğüne karşılık gelen ve Türkçede mecaz, benzetme, eğretileme gibi farklı kavramların yerine kullanılan metafor, son dönemlerde nitel araştırmaların en önemli veri toplama araçlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Metafor, dilin sembolik amaçlı kullanımına bağlı olarak bir kavram veya durumu başka bir kavramla, bir durumla ifade etme biçiminde tanımlanabilir. Metaforlar üzerine, sosyal bilimlerin değişik disiplinlerinde 1980’lerden beri çok sayıda araştırma yapılmıştır. Araştırmaların bir kısmı eğitim ile ilgilidir. Eğitimde metaforlardan planlama, eğitim programı geliştirme, öğrenmeyi teşvik etme ve yaratıcı düşünceyi geliştirmede yararlanılabilir. Ayrıca öğretmen ve öğretmen adaylarının mesleki algılarını belirlemede de metaforlardan yararlanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, dil öğretimini meslek edinecek olan Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının “öğretmen” ve “öğrenci” kavramlarına ilişkin oluşturdukları metaforları toplamak ve toplanan metaforları çeşitli kategoriler altında sınıflandırarak Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının algılama biçimlerini ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada veriler, nitel araştırmaya dayalı olarak önce içerik analizi ile değerlendirilmiş, daha sonra baskın kategoriye sahip gruplara ki-kare testi uygulanmıştır. Çalışmada ortaya çıkan sonuç, Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının çoğunlukla öğretmeni bilgi kaynağı, öğrenciyi de bilgi alıcı olarak gördükleri şeklindedir. Bir diğer önemli sonuç ise Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının bir kısmının öğretmeni üretici ve biçimlendirici; öğrenciyi de üretilen ve biçimlendirilen olarak görmesidir. Araştırmada belirtilen bulgular doğrultusunda Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının geçmişten gelen yaşantılarına bağlı olarak aldıkları eğitimin onları modern eğitim anlayışına yöneltici nitelikte olmadığı söylenebilir.

As a result of the research, it was determined that reading interests of the students are at medium level (=59.675+8.687) and it was determined that there is a meaningful differentiation according to gender (t=2.876; p<.05) and socio economic level (F=8.173; p<.05). In addition reading habit of the students was determined very low. In this context, requirement of development of reading habits and interest of the students was determined.
