Abstract:

This study aims to identify the opinions of class teachers on the design and skill workshops contained in the 2023 Vision Document published by the Ministry of Education. Basic research is used in the research. The researchers were composed of 18 teachers. In the collection of data, a semi-configured conversation technique was used. The analysis of the data has been used by an illustrative analysis. The ethical board permission provided in Annex 1 on the process of data collection has been obtained. In the study, the general views of class teachers on workshops were studied under seven topics on the purpose of workshops, the provision of functionality, the relationship with other courses, the contribution to the student, the recommended workshops, the challenges and the recommendations. In this context, teachers have described the objectives of the workshops as concrete, success of past practices, development of hands-on skills and entertainment. When it comes to the expectations of teachers from the management, teachers and guardians. Again, one of the findings achieved in the research is that teachers associated their practices in their design workshops with courses of life knowledge, science, mathematics, Turkish, visual arts and social knowledge. In addition, the teachers proposed some workshops; the workshops proposed by the classmates were gathered under the topics of science, art, sport and culture. It is also determined that teachers have explained the contribution of the workshops to the student in the framework of development periods, self-perception, career choice, positive attitude to the school and free time assessment. Finally, the research has seen factors such as the lack of qualification of teachers, the increase in workload; the guardians see the workshops as a material part of the material and the limited capacity of physical infrastructure in schools, among the difficulties that can be experienced in the process. In light of these findings, recommendations were made to practitioners, researchers and educational politicians.
