Abstract

Teknoloji bütünleşme sürecine odaklanılması
teknolojinin öğretim için kullanılmasına yönelik stratejileri ve ilgili
faktörleri anlamaya yönelik farklı bir bakış açısı ve katkı sağlayabilir. Bu
çalışmanın amacı bir bilgisayar öğretmeninin çevrimiçi öğrenme ortamını nasıl
kullandığını anlamaya çalışmak ve olası stratejiler ile kullanma sürecine katkı
sağlayan olanakları ortaya çıkartmaktır. Nitel araştırma paradigması benimsenen
çalışmada amaçsal örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı
doğrultusunda bir bilgisayar öğretmeni örneklem hedefi olarak belirlenmiştir.
Çalışmanın ana bulgusu öğretmenin çevrimiçi öğrenme ortamını öğretim sürecinin
ön-çalışmaları ve öğretim sürecini desteklemek için kullandığını
göstermektedir. Kullanım sürecinde, aktiviteler, gösterimler, tartışma ortamı,
içerik açıklamaları ve değerlendirmeler sıklıkla kullanılmıştır. Çevrimiçi
öğrenme ortamının kullanması öğretmene öğrencileri ile bireysel
ilgilenebilmesini adına zaman kazandırmış, öğrencilerin derslere karşı ilgisini
arttırmış ve öğrencilere farklı bir bilgi kaynağı sunmasına katkı sağlamıştır.
Öğretmene göre öğrencileri kendi öğrenme sorumluluklarının, bilginin başka
kaynaklardan da edinilebileceklerinin farkına varmışlardır. Öğrenciler daha
aktif bir şekilde ders süreçlerine katılım sağlamaya başlamışlardır.

UTILIZING AN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT: MAIN STRATEGIES AND ENABLERS

Abstract

Focusing on the technology
integration process can offer another perspective and a contribution towards
understanding the related factors and strategies of utilization of technology
for instruction. The purpose of this study was to understand how a computer
science teacher utilized an online learning environment and to reveal possible
strategies and enablers of utilization process. Purposive sampling method was
used as qualitative research paradigm. In line with the purpose of the study, a
computer teacher was selected as the sample target of the study. Results showed
that the teacher utilized the online learning environment for preparing and
supporting classroom instruction. During the utilization process activities,
demonstrations, discussions, content explanations and evaluations were
frequently used. Use of the online learning environment enabled the teacher
spare much time for dealing with students individually, provide alternative
information source and increase students’ interest towards lessons. The teacher
perceived that his students became aware of responsibility for their own learning,
became aware that information can be accessed from other sources and were much
active and participated more to the lessons.
