Abstract

There have been
thousands of Syrian kids studying at Turkish public schools since the beginning
of Syrian migration. This study aims to reveal the social and cultural
motivations causing the barriers in front of inclusive education of Syrian
refugees within school environments. This qualitative research was designed as
a case study. Accordingly, the study group of the research is composed of 12
teachers and 5 administrators from five schools having Syrian refugee students
and 10 parents consisting of both Syrian and Turkish kids. The data was
gathered through semi-structured interviews. At the end of the data analysis,
four main themes were found as: “Language Diversity”, “Reflections of Major
Social Problems in Schools”, “The Dilemmas Based upon Integration Policies” and
“Mutual Roots as an Inclusion Area”. Results of this study show that a
collective and holistic approach is necessary to overcome the barriers in front
of inclusive education of Syrian refugees.

Okul ortamlarında Suriyeli mültecilerin kapsayıcı eğitimleri önündeki başlıca engellerin araştırılması

Abstract

Suriye’de başlayan iç
savaş boyunca birçok Suriye vatandaşı başka ülkelere göç etmek zorunda
kalmıştır. Bu ülkelerin başında, Suriye’nin en uzun sınıra sahip komşusu
Türkiye gelmektedir. Suriye’den Türkiye’ye göç başladığından bu yana,
Türkiye’deki devlet okullarında binlerce Suriyeli çocuk öğrenim görmektedir. Bu
araştırma okul ve okul çevresinde Suriyeli mültecilerin kapsayıcı eğitimlerinin
önündeki engellere kaynaklık eden motivasyonları ortaya çıkarmayı
amaçlamaktadır. Bu nitel araştırma bir durum çalışması olarak desenlenmiştir.
Bu doğrultuda, Suriyeli mülteci öğrencilerin öğrenim gördüğü okullarda görev
yapan 12 öğretmen ve 5 okul yöneticisi ile, Suriyeli ve Türk öğrencilerin
velilerinden meydana gelen 10 öğrenci velisi araştırmanın çalışma grubunu
oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri, araştırma kapsamında uygulanan yarı
yapılandırılmış görüşmeler ve sahada edinilen gözlemlerden yoluyla elde
edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi sonucunda dört ana temaya ulaşılmıştır: “Dil
Farklılığı”, “Temel Sosyal Problemlerin Okuldaki Yansımaları”, “Entegrasyon
Politikaları Temelli İkilemler” ve “Bir Dahil Olma Alanı Olarak Ortak Kökler”.
Araştırma sonuçları, Suriyeli mültecilere kapsayıcı eğitimlerin önündeki
engelleri kaldırmada kolektif ve bütüncül bir yaklaşımın gerekli olduğunu
ortaya koymaktadır.
