    Full text link
    Bu çalışmanın amacı Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün bir bilgi sosyolojisi terimi olarak ‘zihniyet’ yapısını; neden olduğu somut tarihi, toplumsal ve siyasi gelişmeler ışığında ve sosyal bilimlerin bazı kavramsal ölçütleriyle bütünlüklü bir okumaya tabi tutmaktır. Yöntem olarak tarihsel araştırma ve Gadamerci Hermenötik Döngüsel Analiz kullanılmıştır. Atatürk’ün tefekküründe millet devlet için değil, devlet millet içindir. Atatürk’ün felsefesinde yaygın kanının aksine asıl olan devlet değil millettir ve millet nihai amaçtır ve sosyolojik bir aşamadır. Üstelik milli mücadeleyi başlatan ve yürüten kadronun sivil niteliği de gözlerden kaçan önemli bir husustur. Onun sivil siyaset felsefesi ile çoğulcu eğitim felsefesi yakından ilişkilidir. Atatürk’ün millet sevgisi boğucu, hegemonik ve sahip olmaya dayalı değil, özgürleştirici, bireysel ve milli karakteri besleyici, üretken bir bilgelik sevgisine philo-sophia (felsefe)’ya dayanmaktadır. Düşünce şekilleriyle, toplum şekilleri arasında kaçınılmaz bir ilişki gören Atatürk sosyolojik terminolojiyle Türk milletinin “bilgiler sistemini” değiştirmiştir. Eşsiz bir eğitimci, hatta saygın eğitim bilimcilerce bir eğitim bilimci olarak kabul gören Atatürk zihniyet değişimiyle içine girilecek uygar dünyaya doğru bir tavır almıştır. Bu hedef yolunda Atatürk’ün eğitim felsefesi ve eğitim politikalarının çağdaşı diğer devlet adamlarınınkinden oldukça farklı olarak totaliter olmadığı, demokrasiyi “ülke aşkı” olarak niteleyerek milli egemenlik (cumhuriyet), demokrasi ve bütün vatandaşların eşit siyasal haklarını tanımayı vatanı için sorumluluk alan aktif bir vatanseverliğin gereği saydığı gibi önemli sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır.Aim of the present is to completely investigate mind structure of Ataturk as sociological term. This investigation was conducted in the light of historical, social and political developments. Gadamerist Hermeneutic Analytic Circle was used. According to this Ataturk’s contemplation nation is not for state, state is for nation. Contrary to the prevalent opinion, in Ataturk’s philosophical approach, nation is essential not state, nation is final aim and sociological stage. Moreover, it has been missed that staff who is launching national independence war and founding the state is civilian. His civil political philosophy is closely related to the philosophy of pluralistic education. Ataturk’s love of nation is not suffocating, hegemonic and based on possession, it is empowering, individualistic, and feeding national character, producing, and philosophia (philosophy) notion. Having seen an inevitable relationship between ways of thinking and forms of society, Atatürk changed the Turkish nation's information system as a sociological terminology. Atatürk, who was recognized as a unique educator or a well-known educator by educational scientists, showed a stance against the civilized world with his change of mind in his country. On this target, Atatürk's educational philosophy and education policies not totalitarian were quite different from those of other statesmen who were contemporary. Describing democracy as a love of the country, Atatürk considered the necessity of active patriotism which took responsibility for his homeland to recognize national sovereignty (republic), democracy and equal political rights of all citizens. These are important results obtained here

    A socıal- psychologıcal approach to the educatıon of values: the functıonalıty of normatıve socıal ınfluences and ınformatıonal socıal ınfluences

    Social psychology is a field which can improve perfect contributions to the " socialization" target of, in general sense eduation of values and particularly social studies education, and materializes this especially with its conduct composition, Exchange theory, and experiments, detailed analyses related with decision skills which compose the essence of social studies, group phobia, pattern judgments, prejudice judgments, prejudices, racism and every kind of group Dynamics with its centenary experience. Social science tutors who want to train active citizens with democratic and liberal minds have to try to cause students gain skills for making irrational decisions under ambituous conditions with the help of social psychology theories and evidences, or more precisely they have to teach them independent rational decision skills which enable them keeping values at the centre instead of appreciating- obeying or socially adapt oneself without questioning to social groups of others, incontrovertible leaders, social groups where belongigness- identities are exaggerated. It can be mentioned that currently the decision- value relation has been neglected in teaching social studies which is the most important field of decision making skills. Taking advantage of theoretical approaches in the literature related with changing conducts while composing values, correct conducts and attitudes of students has to be materialized as well as controlling and developing theories on the Turkish society with empirical researches. Though when the occurrence of a turkish sociology is possible; we’ll have the occasion to direct conduct changes proper to the psychological structures of the Turks as the possessors of a communitarian culture, and transform these changes to democracy education and direct them to value targets. This study transfers changes and influence values educations to the centre which can be caused by “ informational social influences” – which cause authentic cognitive and conductive changes- in the education of social science instead of” normative social influence” which causes a temporary and superficial compliance, rather than an authentic cognitive and conductive change. It discusses the topic in accordance with classic experimental researches and new researches.Sosyal psikoloji özellikle tutum oluşumu ve değişimi kuramları ve deneyleriyle, sosyal bilgilerin kalbini teşkil eden karar verme becerilerine kalıpyargılar, önyargılar, ayrımcılık ve her türlü grup dinamikleri hakkındaki bir asrı geçen birikimiyle genelde değerler eğitimin ve özelde de sosyal bilgiler eğitiminin "sosyalleştirme" hedefine mükemmel katkılarda bulunabilecek bir bilim dalıdır. Etkin, demokratik ve hür düşünceli vatandaşlar yetiştirmek isteyen sosyal bilgiler eğitimcileri öğrencilere, sosyal psikolojinin kuram ve bulgularının yardımıyla, belirsizlik durumlarında irrasyonel kararlar vermek veya daha doğrusu başkalarının, tartışılmaz önderlerin, aidiyetin-kimliklerin abartıldığı sosyal grupların, kliklerin kararlarını sorgulamadan benimsemek-itaat etmek veya sosyal uyma yerine; değerleri merkezde tutan bağımsızrasyonel kararlar alabilme becerilerini kazandırmaya çalışmalıdırlar. Günümüzde, karar verme becerilerinde en önemli saha olan sosyal bilgiler öğretiminde karar-değer ilişkisinin ihmal edildiği söylenebilir. Öğrencilerde oluşturulmasında tutum değiştirmeye yönelik literatürdeki kuramsal yaklaşımlardan faydalanmak gerektiği gibi görgül araştırmalarla kuramları Türk toplumu üzerinde kontrol etme ve geliştirme yollarına gidilmelidir. Zira bir Türk sosyolojisi mümkünse; toplulukçu bir kültürün sahipleri olarak Türklerin sosyal psikolojik yapılarına uygun tutum değiştirme ve bu değiştirmeleri demokrasi eğitimi ve değer hedefleri doğrultusunda yönlendirme imkânına sahip olacağız demektir. Bu çalışmada gerçek bir bilişsel ve davranışsal değişimden ziyade geçici ve yüzeysel bir baş eğme yaratan "normatif sosyal etki" yerine, gerçek bir bilişsel, tutumsal ve davranışsal değişime neden olan "bilgisel sosyal etki"nin sosyal bilgiler eğitiminde yaratabileceği değişimler ve etkiler değerler eğitimi merkeze alınarak mevcut alanyazın, klasik deneysel çalışmalar ve yeni araştırmalar ışığında tartışmaya açılmaktadı
