Evaluation of Innovative Approaches in Education and Training Practices and Solution Offers
Journal of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, v5 n1 Spr 2021
Increasing global competition and rapid development of information and information technologies accelerate social changes. Innovative approaches are used as an important tool to gain a strong place in the race for economic profit and social welfare. Innovation can be created by individuals who are creative and can think differently. Education systems assume new roles and responsibilities on the basis of these variables, and gain new functions in the face of new expectations of society and economy. Establishing and maintaining an innovative system in education and training practices will support beneficial and stable development across the country. The aim of the study is the teachers' views on the extent to which innovative approaches are included in teaching methods and techniques, measurement and evaluation practices, use of educational technologies, organizing educational environments and financing education; to understand and interpret according to the variables of gender, education level and seniority. In order to analyze the relationships between variables related to innovativeness in education, a literature review was conducted using the "document analysis" technique. Qualitative research method was used in order to reveal the current situation and to determine various, common or different perceptions regarding the research subject. The technique of "purposeful sampling" was used to determine the sample of the study and "semi-structured interview" technique to obtain research data. In this study in which innovative approaches were evaluated in education and training practices, almost all of the teachers stated that despite the variables of gender, education level and professional seniority, almost all of them stated that they did not allocate resources for teaching methods and techniques, measurement and evaluation methods, the use of educational technologies, the adequacy of school buildings and equipment, and innovative studies in education. They made suggestions that more innovative studies should be carried out in the education system and the people and institutions that carry out these studies should be supported.
