Abstract

Son yıllarda, internet teknolojisi kullanımında yaşanan dönüşüm, Web 2.0 araçlarının ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu teknolojiler, öğrencileri aktif ve işbirliğine dayalı bir eğitim ortamına dâhil ederek öğrenci merkezli ve teknoloji odaklı öğrenmeyi geliştirme potansiyelleri nedeniyle eğitimcilerin dikkatini çekmiştir. Açıkça ifade etmek gerekirse bu araçlar, tüm dünyada uzaktan eğitime zorunlu bir geçişe yol açan Covid-19 salgınının, aniden patlak vermesi nedeniyle son zamanlarda ön plana çıkmıştır. Buna göre, bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanmaya yönelik algılarını incelemektir. Bu çalışmada, öğretmenlerin Web 2.0 teknolojilerine yönelik algılarını araştırmak için nicel tanımlayıcı anket araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. Veriler, 22 maddeden oluşan beşli Likert tipi bir ölçek aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Katılımcılar, Isparta ve Afyonkarahisar illerinde devlet okullarında görev yapan 285 öğretmendir. Öğretmenlerin Web 2.0 araçlarına yönelik genel algılarının yüksek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular, öğretmenlerin web 2.0 teknolojilerine karşı algılarının cinsiyet, branş ve deneyim yönünden bir değişiklik göstermediğini ortaya koyarken, okul seviyesi, dijital okuryazarlık düzeyi ve uzaktan eğitim deneyimi söz konusu olduğunda önemli farklar gözlemlenmiştir.

IN-SERVICE TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS TOWARDS USING WEB 2.0 TOOLS

Abstract

The transformation experienced in the use of Internet technology in recent years has resulted in the emergence of Web 2.0 tools. These technologies have caught the attention of the educators due to their potential to enhance student-centered and technology-oriented learning by engaging students in an active and collaborative educational environment. These tools, plainly, have come into prominence lately because of the sudden outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, which has led to a compulsory shift to distance education all over the world. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions of in-service teachers towards using Web 2.0 tools. In this study, quantitative descriptive survey research design has been employed to investigate in-service teachers’ perceptions towards Web 2.0 technologies. The data were collected through a five point Likert-type scale consisting of 22 items. The participants were 285 in-service teachers working in state schools from Isparta and Afyonkarahisar. It has been found that the overall perceptions of in-service teachers towards using Web 2.0 tools are moderately high. The findings have revealed that perception of teachers does not differ in terms of gender, subject and experience; however, it significantly differs in terms of school level, digital literacy level and distance education experience.
