Abstract:

Program literature is a concept consisting of subdimensions of program knowledge, program planning and application. This study aims to determine the level of program literature of teachers who are working at the high school level. The research was conducted together with 311 teachers consisting of teachers of Mathematics, Turkish, Social Information and Sciences who work in the secondary schools in Ankara. In the research, the "Program Reading Scale" developed by the researcher was used. The measurement has been determined to be a valid and reliable measurement tool as a result of validity and reliability studies. The layer alpha reliability ratio is calculated as .774. The research finds that the participants are high-level program readers. When the findings are studied according to the branch variable, it is determined that all the branch teachers involved in the research are high-level program readers. According to the lower dimensions of program literature, the teacher's score average is from high to low, respectively, in the form of planning 4.53, application 4.42, program knowledge 4.08. The high school teachers have noted that there is no statistically significant difference when the degree of literature of the program is studied according to the branch, gender, professional service year and the type of school graduated. When program literature is studied according to the subdimensions of program knowledge, planning and application, the variables of the year of gender, branch and service in the profession do not show a meaningful difference, while the subdimensions of planning have observed a meaningful difference in the variable of the type of school graduated. The difference has been observed that the teachers who have graduated from other schools and the teachers who have graduated from the educational faculty are in favor of the teachers who have graduated from other schools.
