Teacher Opinions on the Process of Preparing, Implementing, and Evaluation of an Individualized Education Program for Primary School Mathematics Courses
Abstract
This study is aimed to explore the views of classroom teachers who have inclusive students in their classrooms on IEP preparation, implementation and evaluation in mathematics lessons. The research was designed with the case study method, one of the qualitative research methods. The participant group of the study consisted of 22 classroom teachers with inclusive students in their classrooms. The research data were collected face-to-face in the second semester of the 2022-2023 academic year through a semi-structured interview form. The content analysis method was used to analyze the collected data. As a result of the content analysis, the data obtained were organized and interpreted under the themes of IEP preparation, implementation, and evaluation in mathematics lessons. As a result of the research, it was determined that classroom teachers could not find appropriate and sufficient materials and could not get expert support in the process of IEP implementation in mathematics courses. In addition, it was found that classroom teachers were inadequate in monitoring and evaluating the IEP in mathematics and used non-standard measurement and evaluation tools. It can be said that experimental studies are needed to assess whether or not the IEP preparation, implementation, and evaluation process improves students' achievement in mathematics.
