TÜBİTAK tarafından kariyer geliştirme programı çerçevesinde desteklenen “işbirlikli öğretme yöntemlerinin grup liderleri yardımıyla yaygınlaştırılması ve uygulama aşamasındaki problemlere çözüm üretilmesi” adlı, 3 yıl (2005–8) süreli proje bünyesinde yapılan bu çalışmada, biyoloji sınıflarında mevcut öğrenme ortamlarının yapısı araştırılmıştır. Araştırma 2005–2006 öğretim yılında, Diyarbakır şehir merkezinde, 5 ortaöğretim kurumundaki 10 Lise I. sınıf şebeleri olmak üzere toplam 340 öğrenciyi kapsamaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak Fraser ve arkadaşları tarafından geliştirilen “Öğrenme Ortamı Anketi” uyarlanarak kullanılmıştır Analiz sonucunda, öğrenme ortamı olarak sınıflarda öğrencilerin değişik ilgi ve yeteneklere sahip olmalarına karşın bu doğrultuda sınıf içi aktivite ve öğrenme yöntemlerinin uygulanmadığı açığa çıkmıştır. Derslerin hızlı işlendiği ve öğretmenlerin ders sırasında başarılı öğrencilerle daha fazla ilgilenerek öğrenciler arasında ayrımcılık yapktıkları ortaya çıkmaıştır.

What Type of Learning Environment? Finding out the Nature of Learning Environment in Biology Classes
Öz
In this study, the current learning environments in biology classroom were investigated. The study is a part of the 3 years research that is funded by TUBITAK and titled “prevailing cooperative learning methods through group leaders and finding solution to problems occurred during the application” which was carried out in 10 classrooms in 5 secondary schools throughout Diyarbakir with participation of 340 students in total. An adopted version of “Learning Environment Inventory” that was developed by Fraser et al was used. The findings suggest that despite the fact that students have different interests and abilities, classroom activities and learning methods matching up with these interests and abilities are not being used. Also, subject topics are covered fast and teachers pay more attention to more successful students, which is seen by students as discrimination.
