In this study, elementary and high school students' information and computer security awareness levels were investigated. Information and Computer Security Awareness Scale was developed by the researcher and it was applied to 2449 students in the schools in center of Kahramanmaraş City, towns, small towns and villages of Kahramanmaraş province. For data analysis the statistical analysis program was used. Consequently it was found that students have sufficient awareness level in terms of ethical issues. However, they have low awareness levels in terms of issues that require knowledge about rules. It can be deduced that information and computer security awareness education and related activities are insufficient. If these courses' hours can be increased, students' information and computer security awareness can be enhanced and negative effects of internet can be controlled.
In this study, emotional intelligence levels of engineering students from different universities in Turkey were investigated. Data were collected by "Emotional Intelligence Scale" developed by Schutte and et al (1998). 98 engineering students from different engineering faculties were selected as the participants of the study. The participants participated in the TUBITAK Alternative Energy Car Races before the study. Findings of the study showed that there is no significant difference in students' emotional intelligence scores in terms of age and gender. Additionally, the students who have similar hobbies regarding developing design had higher emotional intelligence score. In terms of being engineer in the family, students showed higher performance in emotional intelligence score. Students who don't have professional pessimism have higher emotional intelligence score.
ÖZET Fatih Projesi kapsamında Bilişim Teknolojilerinin, öğrenme ortamlarında daha etkin kullanımı amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca tüm okullarda teknolojik altyapı iyileştirmelerinin yapılması hedeflenmektedir. Söz konusu sürecin işletilebilmesi için Bilişim teknolojileri öğretmenleri kilit rol oynayacaktır. Bu nedenle, araştırmada Fatih projesini sürdürecek olan Bilişim teknolojileri öğretmenliği adaylarının bilgisayar öz yeterlik algıları tarama modeli kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Çalışma grubunu iki farklı üniversitenin Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi bölümünde (BÖTE) öğrenim gören 200 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada Akkoyunlu ve Orhan (2003) tarafından geliştirilen "Bilgisayar öz yeterlik ölçeği" kullanılarak, öğrencilerin bilgisayar öz yeterlik algıları ile cinsiyet, mezun olunan ortaöğretim türü, bölüm tercih sırası, devam edilen sınıf ve okuduğu üniversite değişkenleri arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, erkek öğrencilerin kız öğrencilere göre, meslek lisesi mezunu öğrencilerin, genel lise mezunu öğrencilere göre, 3 ve 4. sınıfa devam eden öğrencilerin 1. sınıf öğrencilerine göre daha yüksek bilgisayar öz yeterlik algısına sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bölüm tercih sırasının bilgisayar öz yeterlik algısını etkilemediği bulgularına ulaşılmıştır.
Web technology is changing rapidly every day and the Internet has become a lifestyle for people all over the world. It is obvious that the life style of societies is in a process of change, as new habits are acquired. Even though Internet use is one of the new social habits, it is one of the most important factors that induce this change as regards the convenience it brings to communication and other areas. The widespread use of Internet implies the idea that it can also be more widely used for educational purpose. Since chemistry teachers have a very important function in education, the determination of teachers' attitude towards Internet use is also important. In the literature it is possible to see many studies on teacher candidates' attitude towards Internet use; however studies on appointed teachers' attitude are not very common. In our study, which aims to determine the attitude of appointed chemistry teachers according to different variables, we used the Internet use attitude scale. Participant teacher's attitude towards Internet use was analyzed and interpreted according to the variables of gender, years on the job, type of school at which they are teaching, and duration of their weekly Internet use. It was seen that a vast majority of the teachers have personal computers, they connect to Internet at home and have positive attitude towards Internet use. It was also seen that female teachers have more positive attitude than male teachers in use of Internet for social interaction and communication.
