Öğretmen bakış açısı ile lise fen ve matematik derslerinde disiplinlerarası yaklaşımların uygulanabilirliği üzerine bir vaka çalışması

This research aims to discuss the feasibility of integrating interdisciplinary studies into education in the fields of science and mathematics at the high school level and possible barriers to the integration of these studies into the education system. In order to collect data, document analysis and informal observation were made, semi-structured interviews were designed. Interview questions consist of two parts. In the first part, demographic information; in the second part, the feasibility of interdisciplinary studies in high school science and mathematics, obstacles that may occur before or during implementation, teacher and student readiness, and the benefits of interdisciplinary education were asked. 13 teachers working in a private high school participated in the interview. The findings of the study show that interdisciplinary studies performed between the fields of science and mathematics at high school level. According to teachers' opinions, in order to increase the applicability of interdisciplinary studies, interdisciplinary connections between education programs should be high, the level of readiness of the teacher and the student should be high, the content of the work to be done should be planned in detail and the school culture should be suitable for interdisciplinary studies. In addition, the reasons for the obstacles in front of the feasibility of interdisciplinary studies in the opinions of the teachers are the lack of communication between the teachers of different disciplines, the lack of motivation in both the student and the teacher due to the fact that a test-centered education is essential, and the lack of time.
