Okul öncesi eğitimde yardımcı öğretmenlik mesleği
Anahtar Kelimeler:
Yardımcı öğretmenlik, Okul öncesi eğitim, AnaokulÖzet
Okul öncesi öğretmenliği, diğer meslek grupları gibi, profesyonel bir meslektir. Yardımcı öğretmenlik de eğitim öğretim faaliyetlerinde öğretmene destek sağlayacak profesyonel bir meslek olarak ele alınmalıdır. Ülkemizdeki okul öncesi kurumlarında yardımcı öğretmenlik uygulamalarının çok fazla olmaması ve resmi ana okullarda kanunen zorunluluğun bulunmamasından dolayı yardımcı öğretmenlikle ilgili yapılan çalışmaların çok az olduğu görülmektedir. Bu nedenle de makalede, yardımcı öğretmenlikle ilgili ülkemizde yapılabilecek olası çalışmalara ışık tutması ve böyle bir mesleğin okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında hizmet vermesi durumunda, yardımcı öğretmenlerin görev ve sorumlulukları, öğretmen ile yardımcı öğretmen arasındaki ilişki ve bunun eğitim ortamına etkileri, yardımcı öğretmenin eğitim düzeyi, öğretmen-çocuk oranı, yardımcı öğretmenin denetimi ve değerlendirilmesi konularında literatür ışığında bilgi verilmeye çalışılmıştır.
