A Research on Opinions of Students, Teachers and Parents about Midterm Holiday / Ara Tatil Uygulamasına Yönelik Öğrenci, Öğretmen ve Veli Görüşlerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Countries occasionally make new reforms to make the education system more comprehensive and improve the quality of education. As an indicator of this effort in Turkey, a one-week midterm holiday activity plan was prepared in 2019, once in the spring and fall terms of each academic year. The prepared plan was put into effect considering that it will support educational activities. New research is needed to determine how this new practice is perceived and evaluated by education stakeholders. In this context, the current study was carried out to examine the views of teachers, students and parents about the holiday activity plan. Within the framework of this purpose, semi-structured interviews and focus group interviews were conducted based on the qualitative research approach in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year, with 8 students, 8 teachers and 8 parents, who are the stakeholders of this application and who were selected according to the appropriate and maximum diversity sampling methods. The data obtained from the participants was analyzed by content analysis. Considering the results of the research, it is seen that the opinions of the teachers who participated in the research about the midterm holiday activities focused on breathing, cohesion, professional development, student problems; students' views focused on decreasing stress and rest, elimination of deficiencies, social activity, and course; on the other hand, the views of parents focused on such common topics as disruption of education and seeking support. Based on the research results; in order to spend the midterm holiday more efficiently, it is recommended to organize optional trainings by experts in their field that will contribute to the professional development of teachers, to prepare repetitive-based plans to prevent students from forgetting what they learned before the holiday, and finally to organize social and cultural activities for students by the ministry and school.
