Abstract:

One of the most crucial factors for the success of educational activities is, of course, to have a reasonable, rational and efficient program. For a number of reasons, programs undergo some changes or reforms in time in parallel with the requirements. However, no matter how ideally a program is prepared, no one should ignore the fact that in every program might certainly be found or encountered a number of shortcomings. It is, therefore, important that the programs prepared should be evaluated by both program users and experts and that the program should be renewed for its shortcomings to be removed in terms of the evaluations and suggestions. In addition, for the targets required by educational activities to reach, teachers, who are the first-hand users of programs, should be well equipped with sufficient knowledge of the programs. The study aims to determine the level of the awareness of classroom and Turkish teachers and of prospective teachers and the views of instructors on Turkish Teaching Program (Turkish Course 1-8 classes Instruction Program) , which was renovated in 2015 and will gradually be used first for 1st and 5th grade-students from 2016-2017 onwards. The study-group is made up of instructors who run the related courses, classroom and Turkish teachers who are employed in the central district of Giresun and prospective teachers who study in class four. In the study was used, as a data collection instrument, an interview form which includes open-ended questions. The participants were asked to answer the written questions on the renewed Turkish Teaching Program. The data obtained were analyzed through descriptive analysis technique. In the study, the opinions of the program-users about the renewed Turkish Teaching Program were observed and a number of proposals and suggestions were made in parallel with their views.
