ANALYSIS OF THE PROGRAM APPROACHES OF TEACHERS

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the views of teachers working at different levels and units of various public institutions on program orientations and whether these views show significant differences according to various demographic variables (gender, age, education level, years of service and length of service in the institution where they work). The ‘screening design’, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The universe of the study consists of teachers working in different schools. The sample of the study consists of 425 teachers determined from the universe by the Convenience Sampling method. The “Program Orientation Inventory” was used as the data collection tool in the study. Since the data obtained with the data collection tool used met the normal distribution condition, it was decided to use the “Independent Samples t-Test” and “One-Way Analysis of Variance” from the parametric tests in the data analysis process. It was determined in the study that the program orientations of the teachers were high. In addition, it was determined in the study that there was no significant difference between the program orientations of the teachers according to gender and length of service in the institution where they work. In addition, it was determined in the study that there was a significant difference between the program orientations of the teachers according to the education level and years of service.
