Abstract
Bu araştırmada, özel okul öğretmenlerinin, öğrenen okul ile görüşleri incelenmiş ve özel okulların öğrenen okul olabilmesi için gerekli olan özellikler ve yapılması gereken uygulamalar belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaca yönelik olarak İstanbul ilinde halen görev yapan ve en az 3 yıllık deneyime sahip 12 öğretmenin görüşlerine başvurulmuştur. Katılımcı öğretmenlerin, görev yapmakta oldukları okulların en az 5 yıllık kurum geçmişine sahip olmasına dikkat edilmiştir. Çalışma grubunu oluşturan öğretmenlerin seçimi amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme ile yapılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, görüşme yöntemiyle ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Görüşme formu geliştirilirken uzman görüşleri alınmış ve pilot uygulamalar yapılarak gerekli düzenlemeler yapılmıştır. Görüşme verileri literatürde kabul gören 5 öğrenen okul disiplini dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir. Görüşmeler kayıt altına alınmış ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda özel okulların öğrenen okul olabilmeleri için gerekli olan çalışmalar hakkında önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Araştırma bulgularına göre, özel okulların öğrenen okul olabilmesi için öğretmenlerin mesleki gelişimlerinin sağlanması gerektiği ve bu kapsamda hizmet içi eğitimlerin artırılması gerektiği tespit edilmiştir. Okullarda karar alma süreçlerine öğretmenlerin dahil edilmesi, güven ortamının sağlanması, öğrenme motivasyonun önündeki engellerin kaldırılması, takım çalışmaları için gerekli ortamların sağlanması ve okul yöneticilerinin sistem yaklaşımına uygun olarak karşılaşılan durumları bütüncül ele alması gerektiği de tespit edilmiştir.
