Abstract

Õpetajate uurimistööalane kirjaoskus väljendub teaduspõhises praktikas, oma õpetamise ja õpilaste õppimise uurimises ning õpilaste uurimistööalaste teadmiste omandamise toetamises. Kasutades kombineeritud uurimismeetodit, oli siinse uuringu eesmärk selgitada välja, millised on Eesti õpetajakoolituse üliõpilaste ja õppejõudude ning õpetajate uurimistööalased teadmised ning kirjeldada, kuidas kasutavad õpetajad uurimistööalast kirjaoskust oma õpetamistöös. Tulemused näitavad, et kui õppejõududel on teiste valimirühmadega võrreldes paremad teadmised, siis õpetajate ja üliõpilaste uurimistööalased teadmised on pigem sarnased. Intervjuudest õpetajatega selgus, et igapäevases õpetamistöös rakendatakse uurimistööalaseid teadmisi eelkõige õpilastele uurimistööga seotud ülesannete koostamisel. Teaduspõhisele õpetamisele eelistatakse praktilisi koolitusi ja arutelusid kolleegidega ning enda õpetamist ja õpilaste õppimise uurimist intervjuudes osalenud õpetajad pigem ei rakenda. Tulemused näitavad, et uurimistööalase kirjaoskuse kujunemist tuleb rohkem toetada ning kõige enam toetust vajavad just töötavad õpetajad.
