Sign language is one of the methods
the hearing impaired individuals use to communicate. The teachers have a great
responsibility in the use of sign language as a communication tool in educational
environments. Thus, it is important to train teachers
who know sign language and can actively use it in education. This study aims to
examine the opinions of the faculty of education students who take elective
sign language course related to Turkish Sign Language education. In this study,
which has been performed in descriptive design, semi-structured interview
technique from among qualitative research methods was used. For this purpose, a semi-structured interview
form was prepared and an expert's opinion was received. 62 preservice teachers
from four different departments (Guidance and Counseling, Primary Science
Teaching, Computer Education and Instructional Technologies, Primary School
Teaching) who had completed sign language education were interviewed
face-to-face. NVivo
program was used for the detailed and holistic analysis of the findings which
reflected the opinions of the preservice teachers. The
data were divided into four main themes: "Effectiveness of Turkish Sign
Language in daily communication", "Having hearing impaired family
members, relatives or friends", "Necessity (interest) for the Turkish
Sign Language", "Academic Efficacy of the Turkish Sign
Language". The findings of this study are thought to be able to
contribute to the sign language course programs and professional competency of
the teachers who will serve in the field of special education. |
