“…While higher education has become more accessible to larger numbers, its quality has suffered dramatically, both in the offer of education, but also in the conceptualization of higher education as a tool for developing highly skilled workers, equipped with the qualities required in the global job market, as stated in [14]. In the 21st century, the occupation-specific skills do not suffice to meet the needs of labor markets.…”

This study explores the effectiveness of wikis in a teaching course in teacher formation and its pedagogical implications with the aim of determining whether wikis will influence the learning experiences and the learning out-comes of the students in a middle-income, post-communist country as Albania. For this, we implemented student-generated wikis into a master’s course on teaching and examined student reflections on their learning outcomes and other pedagogical effects. A mixed method methodology was employed. The findings of the study were informed by triangulating data from the analysis of the student-generated wikis, students’ reflections on the experience, as well as a comparison of the learning outcomes based on the exit exams of this group of students and the group of the prior academic year. Our data suggest that wikis help support collaborative learning, but at the same time they also encourage independent thinking. Teachers’ authority is minimized, empowering students’ ownership and authorship, leading to a continuous process of modification and improvement through interactions among group members via wikis. The data present compelling evidence in favor of wikis, as an organic tool to facilitate co-constructed learning which students seem to enjoy.

“…The wiki is, therefore, a very valuable tool in the context of collaboration and cooperation, it serves to make a lot of material available to a wide range of users and is increasingly becoming a welcome tool within teaching. It is widely used in universities in the more developed countries (Butcher & Taylor, 2008;Lu et al, 2010), and in general there are many ways to use a wiki:…”

“…Brown University, for example, has created a wiki called CAW -Course Advisor Wiki in which it is possible to review the courses of the university itself and in which students can read interesting reports related to the courses and compare different points of view (Butcher & Taylor, 2008). Similar uses of the wiki are also gradually spreading all over the world (Lu, et al, 2010). The basic idea of the project, which is currently being set up, is to make a space available to everyone in which it is possible to find texts, educational activities, exercises and contribute to the expansion of the material quickly and continuously.…”

The present study reports on research conducted on novice teachers’ use of wikis with their high school students. These teachers had been previously exposed to wikis as a collaborative learning tool during their teaching preparation programme. The aim was to explore whether their experience with wiki usage helped them in their teaching. Participants included fifteen novice teachers in their first year of teaching foreign languages in Albania, who held their teaching partly online during the school year 2020-2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collected through in-depth interviews include their own reflections. These reflections indicate that the use of a wiki at the university level helped them feel at ease in using wikis in their online teaching. The study proved the use of wikis to be a feasible means of online collaboration, which facilitated constructing new knowledge for their students. As a result, wikis provide a collaborative medium of technology integration into their teaching.

Bu çalışmada bilgisayar destekli verilen eğitimin, Türkçe dersine yönelik tutuma etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma, ön test-son test kontrol gruplu modele dayanan yarı deneysel desende planlanmıştır. Ayrıca bilgisayar destekli materyal kullanımıyla ilgili görüşme tekniği kullanılarak araştırma nitel olarak da desteklenmiştir. Araştırmada, Kütahya'da bir devlet okulunda 6. sınıfta öğrenim gören 72 öğrenci ile çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın verileri yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ve Topçuoğlu Ünal ve Köse'nin (2014) geliştirdiği "Türkçe Dersine Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği" ile toplanmıştır. Deney grubunda 10 hafta boyunca öğretim programındaki konular bilgisayar destekli materyaller kullanılarak anlatılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ilişkisiz örneklemler t testi, ilişkili örneklemler t testi uygulanmıştır. Bilgisayar destekli materyal kullanımının Türkçe dersine yönelik tutumları olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Cinsiyet ve kendilerine ait bir bilgisayara sahip olma gibi değişkenlerine göre ise anlamlı farklılık görülmemiştir. Deney grubu öğrencileri bu materyallerle işlenen Türkçe dersinin daha eğlenceli ve etkili olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir.
