The present research aimed to reveal principals’ opinions about professional maturity levels of teachers within the scope of maturity theory of Argyris.The research was carried out with survey model. It was conducted with qualitative research design which aims to examine the meanings inflicted from individuals’ experiences and to demonstrate the concepts in their natural environment in a realistic and holistic way. The study group of the research was determined using criterion sampling and maximum variety sampling methods. The study group consists of 12 principals who have at least 5 years of professional experience and who work in primary, secondary and high schools in Duzce province in 2016-2017 academic year. The fact that principals were chosen among the ones who have at least 5 years of experience results from the idea that their awareness of teacher maturity would be higher. Primary, secondary and high school principals were consulted in order to provide maximum variation. Semi-structured interview form was developed based on the maturity theory of Argyris. Principals mainly stated that teachers are passive both in educational and managerial processes in school and in their professional processes. They remarked that teachers cannot operate the work independently and that they demonstrate indifference to the job. They also observed that teachers behave restrictedly, have short term perceptions and do not have the inclination to make progress in their career. Therefore, principals are of the opinion that teachers have not been professionally mature in terms of seven variables of Argyris’s maturity theory. It can be concluded that teachers have not achieved professional maturity in teaching.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmada, Chris Agyris’in “Olgunluk Kuramı” kapsamında, öğretmenlerin mesleki olgunluklarına ilişkin okul yöneticilerinin görüşlerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Tarama modelinde olan araştırma, kişilerin sahip oldukları deneyimlerden doğan anlamların sistematik olarak incelenebilmesi ve algıların, olayların doğal ortamda gerçekçi, bütüncül bir biçimde ortaya konulmasını amaçladığı için nitel araştırma deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada veriler betimsel analiz tekniğiyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma gurubunu 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında Düzce ili ilkokul, ortaokul ve liselerde görev yapan ve en az beş yıllık görev süresi olan 12 okul müdürü oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunun belirlenmesinde amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme ve maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada okul yöneticileri öğretmenlerin mesleki olgunlaşmalarının göstergeleri olan okuldaki eğitim öğretim ve yönetim süreçleri ile mesleki iş ve işlemlere karşı pasif oldukları, bağımsız yürütemedikleri, ilgisiz oldukları, duyarsızlık gösterdikleri, sınırlı davrandıkları, kısa dönemli bakış açısına sahip oldukları ve meslekte yükselme eğilimi taşımadıkları yönünde görüş belirtmişlerdir. Araştırmada öğretmenlerin yönetici görüşlerine göre gerekli olgunluğa sahip olmadıkları sonucuna varılabilir.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of problem-based learning approach of "Matter and Heat" unit taking place in science and technology course involved in the curriculum of the 6th grade on the students' academic success and motivation towards science and technology course. The research was designed and implemented according to "pretest-posttest control group" experimental model. 6-A class (N=16) attending Büyükkarakarlı Primary School, Hayrabolu county, Tekirdağ was determined as the experimental group intentionally biased by the researcher in the second semester of 2009-2010 academic year. 6-A class (N=20) attending Hüseyin Korkmaz Primary School, Hayrabolu county, Tekirdağ was determined randomly among three sections of the 6th class as the control group. While problem-based learning approach was implemented for the experimental group; traditional approaches were applied in the control group. While implementing problem-based learning approach for the experimental group, problem scenarios developed by the researcher were used. "Academic Achievement Test" and "Science and Technology Course Motivation Scale" were used as the data collection tools. By means of data analysis, it is found out that problem-based learning approach is more effective than traditional method in terms of developing academic success on science and technology course and motivation towards this course.

Bu kapsamda 2017-2018 eğitim-öğretim yılı itibari ile yürürlüğe giren revize edilmiş hayat bilgisi öğretim programı içerisinde yer alan “Güvenli Hayat” ünitesinin bir kazanımının sınıf öğretmenleri tarafından nasıl yorumlandığı araştırılmıştır.

Çalışma sırasında “yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu” kullanılmıştır Görüşme sonunda yazıya aktarılan veriler betimsel ve içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiş ve bulgular değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmenlerin büyük bir çoğunluğu kazanımı fiziksel güvenlik (kaza, yaralanma, güvenli oyun alanları vb.) ve saygılı iletişim (söz alma, büyüklere saygılı olma vb.) çerçevesinde yorumlamış ve çocuk istismarı ile ilişkilendirmemiştir. Öğretmenler ilgili konuda hiç eğitim almadıklarını da belirtmişlerdir.
