Investigation of Mechanical Engineering Academicians’ Use of Distance Education Technologies

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the use of distance education technologies, conditions of use and how often they use various computer applications, and also to investigate the use of these applications by academicians who teach in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In the research carried out with the scanning model, there were 370 volunteers from various universities in Russia, consisting of academicians who teach in the field of mechanical engineering. The research was carried out in the spring term of 2020–2021; before the research, a 6-week online training was given to mechanical engineer academicians. In the study, the ‘distance education technologies’ measurement tool developed by the researchers and compiled by experts in the field was used. The measurement tool was delivered to the academicians via the online method and collected. The analysis of the data was carried out by using the SPSS programme, frequency analysis, t-test and ANOVA test, and the results were added to the research with tables. Accord-ing to the results obtained from the research, although the distance education technologies of the academicians who teach in the field of mechanical engineering are satisfactory, the rate of academicians never using new technologies in the teaching process is quite low and the rate of using them very often is quite high.

Determining University Students’ Views on Mobile Technology and Moodle Applications in Personalized Learning

“…It is seen that research methods are used in the sub-dimensions of the research through the quantitative research model. from previous lifetimes to the present [17]. In this research, in or-der to determine the opinions of university students about mobile technology and moodle applications by using quantitative research method; gender was defined according to the vari-ables of education period.…”

Formation of research skills of students through solving problems in teaching mathematics in primary classes

“…It is directly related to the explanations made as a result of numerical data. Some methods are applied while performing quantitative research (Caliskan et al, 2022). In this sense, it was designed on the formation of students' research skills by solving problems in mathematics teaching in primary school classes of the participant group participating in the research.…”

Formation of intercultural competencies in language classes at the university

“…In the study, the quantitative research method, which is the most appropriate model, was used following the research problem situation. It is known that the quantitative research method is a research method that aims to describe an event that continues until today, in the existing situations in future lives (Caliskan et al, 2022). In this research, with the quantitative research method, the development and determination of intercultural competencies in the language education classes at the university were aimed at; it was patterned according to the variables of gender, education status and education duration.…”
