Abstract

The primary objective of this quantitative study is to investigate the practices and perceptions of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers in the integration of global skills into the classroom. The study addresses six key research questions, focusing on EFL teachers' practices and perceptions of global skills, their familiarity with these skills, motivation to integrate them, the correlation of global skills with its components, the effects of demographic variables on teachers' practices, and the compatibility of EFL classes and curricula for implementing global skills. To achieve this, the study examined 163 EFL teachers who volunteered from different school levels (primary, secondary, and high school) in both private and state schools in Tokat. To assess participants' practices and perceptions of global skills, the '21st Century Teaching and Learning Survey,' originally developed by Ravitz in 2014, was applied with some adaptations. The results of the study revealed that EFL teachers actively strive to develop students' communication and collaboration skills, with over 80% of them making at least moderate efforts in this regard. In the case of digital skills, this percentage exceeded 50%. However, for other skills, teachers displayed less enthusiasm in integrating them into their classes. The consensus among the majority of teachers was that English classes provide an ideal platform for teaching global skills. The study argued that, in addition to 21st century skills, global skills were imperative in schools. To make this a reality, English classes and EFL teacher education programs need to be redesigned, recognizing English as a crucial medium for teaching these skills.

Abstract

Bu nicel çalışmanın temel amacı, İngilizce öğretmenlerinin küresel becerilerin derslere entegrasyonu konusundaki uygulamalarını ve algılarını araştırmaktır. Çalışma, İngilizce öğretmenlerinin uygulamalarına ve küresel becerilere ilişkin algılarına, bu becerilere aşinalıklarına, bunları entegre etme motivasyonlarına, küresel becerilerin bileşenleriyle korelasyonuna, demografik değişkenlerin öğretmenlerin uygulamaları üzerindeki etkisine ve küresel becerilerin uygulanması için yabancı dil sınıflarının ve müfredatlarının uyumluluğuna odaklanan altı temel araştırma sorusunu ele almaktadır. Bunun için, çalışma kapsamında Tokat'taki hem özel hem de devlet okullarında farklı kademelerde (ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise) görev yapmakta olan 163 İngilizce öğretmeni gönüllülük esasına göre araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Katılımcıların küresel becerilere ilişkin uygulamalarını ve algılarını değerlendirmek için, Ravitz tarafından 2014 yılında geliştirilen '21.Yüzyıl Becerilerini Öğretme ve Öğrenme Anketi' bazı uyarlamalarla kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, İngilizce öğretmenleri öğrencilerin iletişim ve iş birliği becerilerini geliştirmek için aktif olarak gayret göstermekte ve %80'inden fazlası bu konuda en azından orta düzeyde çaba harcamaktadır. Dijital becerilerde bu oran %50'nin üzerindedir. Ancak diğer beceriler konusunda öğretmenler bunları sınıflarına entegre etme konusunda daha az isteklidirler. Öğretmenlerin çoğunluğunun ortak görüşü, İngilizce derslerinin küresel becerileri öğretmek için ideal bir platform sağladığı yönünde olmuştur. Bunu gerçeğe dönüştürmek için; İngilizce derslerinin ve İngilizce öğretmeni yetiştirme programlarının, İngilizceyi bu becerilerin öğretilmesinde çok önemli bir araç olarak kabul ederek, yeniden tasarlanması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
