ÖZ. Bu araştırma, ortaöğretim öğretmenlerinin Teknolojik Pedagojik Alan Bilgisi (TPAB) düzeylerini, öğretmenlerin genel demografik özelliklerinin yanı sıra etkileşimli tahta ve diğer öğretim teknolojilerini kullanma durumlarına göre incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada karma araştırma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel örneklemini 2014-2015 eğitim-öğretim yılında Van ili üç merkez ilçesinde 22 ortaöğretim okulunda görev yapan değişik ders alanlarından 436 öğretmen, nitel örneklemini ise iki farklı okuldan toplam 12 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu, TPAB ölçeği ve görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların demografik değişkenlerine ilişkin bilgiler, frekans ve yüzde içeren betimsel istatistikler ile verilmiştir. Araştırmada veri analizi için bağımsız örneklem T-Testi, tek yönlü ANOVA testi, Tukey testi, Games-Howell testi ve Pearson korelasyon testi kullanılmıştır. Nitel veriler ise içerik analizi ile temalar altında kodlanarak sunulmuştur. Yapılan nicel analizler sonucunda öğretmenlerin cinsiyet, mesleki deneyim, eğitim düzeyi, alan, okul türü ve kategorisi, bilgisayar kullanma yeterliliği algıları, okullarında etkileşimli tahta bulunma durumları, etkileşimli tahta kullanım kursuna katılma durumları, etkileşimli tahta ve diğer öğretim teknolojilerini kullanım yeterliliği algıları ve kullanma sıklıkları değişkenlerinde anlamlı farklar görülmüştür. Araştırmada nitel verilerin analiz sonuçlarına göre ise öğretmenlerin derslerinde teknolojiyi dersin hangi bölümlerinde ve en çok hangi amaçlarla kullandıkları, derslerinde çağdaş öğretim teknolojilerini içeren ve içermeyen hangi yöntem ve tekniklere başvurdukları, günümüz öğretmenlerinin hangi yeterliliklere sahip olması gerektiği, gördükleri üniversite eğitimi ve aldıkları hizmet içi eğitimlerin bu yeterlilikleri kazandırma durumları, öğrencilerin bireysel farklılıklarına göre derslerini nasıl şekillendirdikleri ve teknoloji entegrasyonu konusunda hangi engellerle karşılaştıklarına ilişkin görüşler elde edilmiştir.

The aim of this study is to analyze the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) levels of high school teachers with respect to their use of interactive whiteboards and other instructional technologies. A mixed-method approach was used in the study. The quantitative sample of the research consists of 436 high school teachers and the qualitative sample consists of 12 high school teachers. Personal information form, TPACK scale and interview form were the data collection instruments. Significant differences were found in teachers' gender, professional experiences, education levels, branches, school types and categories, perceptions of the adequacy of computer using, having interactive whiteboards in the school, taking interactive whiteboard course, perceptions of the adequacy of using interactive whiteboards and other instructional technologies. Characteristics and dyn...
The aim of this study is to investigate the use of WhatsApp application in anonymous peer assessment in higher education. The mobile phone application WhatsApp was used as both an anonymous and nonanonymous peer assessment tool in a classroom environment. The participants of the study were the students of two classes (sophomores and juniors), half of which were assigned to the anonymous peer assessment group and the other half to the nonanonymous peer assessment group for each class. The members of the anonymous groups used the personal messaging function of WhatsApp for assessment, whereas the nonanonymous groups used the group chat function of the application. WhatsApp was confirmed to be a valid tool for peer assessment, and it was shown that the required anonymity of the method was appropriate for the task. The students' perceived attitudes toward the procedure were found to be rather high, with no significant difference identified between the sophomores and junior groups related to the procedure.
Algorithmic Thinking (AT) skills may be considered one of the necessary skills for everyone in the new century. Individuals and societies live in a time when they cannot avoid using information communication technologies (ICT). Hence, they need to be ICT literate. Teachers shall play an important role both for individuals and societies to address this need. However, are they ready to play such a role? This paper presents a suggestion for teacher training to help teachers how to play the role. The paper suggests including an elective course under the title AT into the computer science teacher training curricula and aims to present the course, progress and views of the students who took the course. A mixed-method approach was followed for the current study. The study was carried out with the participation of sixth-semester students of a Computer Education and Instructional Technology Department of an Education Faculty who may be considered prospective computer science teachers. Twenty-eight students were enrolled in the elective AT course offered for the period. Within the scope of the study, development of the course curriculum, instructional process of the course and evaluation of the course, in line with students' views and exam scores, are presented. Findings of the research suggest that the students find the Algorithmic Thinking course helpful for them to acquire some algorithmic thinking skills as well as some other academic and life-related thinking abilities. Also, the course may be considered as a necessary course particularly for the training process of computer science teachers. In addition, the students think that the offered course was effective and beneficial.
Purpose -The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors which might affect the intention to use interactive whiteboards (IWBs) by university students, using Technology Acceptance Model by the structural equation modeling approach. The following hypothesis guided the current study: H1. There is a positive relationship between IWB self-efficacy and perceived learning (PL). H2. There is a positive relationship between IWB self-efficacy and perceived ease of use (PEOU). H3. There is a positive relationship between IWB self-efficacy and perceived usefulness (PU). H4. There is a positive relationship between PL and PEOU. H5. There is a positive relationship between PL and PU. H6. There is a positive relationship between PEOU and attitude. H7. There is a positive relationship between PU and attitude.Design/methodology/approach -A survey method was used to collect the data. Purposive sampling was used, and 416 high-school students participated in the current study. Descriptive statistics and structural equation model conducted to test the proposed model were used in data analysis.Findings -All hypotheses formulated within the scope of the research model were statistically confirmed. H1, which assumed that interactive whiteboard self-efficacy (IWBSE) have had a positive impact on PL, was found to be statistically significant. The impact of IWBSE on PL was 0.61 which means that if IWBSE increases one unit, the impact on PL will be an average of 0.61 points. The relationship between IWBSE, which is expressed in H2 and H3, and, respectively, PEOU and PU latent variables, was statistically significant. IWBSE mostly affected PEOU (ϭ 0.51, t ϭ 7.92), and then PU (ϭ 0.16, t ϭ 2.43). The relationship between PL -which is expressed in H4 and H5-and, respectively, PEOU and PU latent variables, was statistically significant. IWBSE mostly affected PU (ϭ 0.63, t ϭ 7.94), and then PEOU (ϭ 0.27, t ϭ 3.95).Originality/value -It is aimed to transform the entire classes into computerized classes (Smart Class) around Turkey with FATIH project which includes usage of interactive boards. Because it is a very big project funded by the government, it is important to evaluate its adaptation among teachers and students. Therefore, the current study aims to investigate the factors which might affect the attitude to use IWBs by high-school students.
