Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the level of physical education and sports teachers' use of Web 2.0 tools in the emergency distance education process caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The cross-sectional survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, is a type of general survey model. The universe of the research is Physical Education and Sports teachers working in secondary schools and high schools affiliated to Mugla Provincial Directorate of National Education in the spring semester of 2020-2021 education. With the non-random purposeful criterion sampling method, 182 Physical Education and Sports teachers were reached. As data collection tool, "Technology Literacy", "Technology Integration to Lesson", "Communication" sub-dimensions of "Scale for Determining Teachers' Levels of Educational Technology Use", descriptive information form and an open-ended question were used. As a result of the normal distribution of the data, t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used in independent groups to determine the difference between the groups. Statistical analyzes of the data obtained from the study were made with the SPSS 22.0 program. Research findings show that physical education and sports teachers' level of integration of Web 2.0 tools in the emergency distance education process differs only in favor of those who take technology courses before. In addition, the level of use of messaging applications (WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, WeChat, etc.) and social networks (Instagram, Youtube, etc.) of Web 2.0 tools differs in favor of female teachers, teachers who are younger, and teachers with graduate education. The level of technology literacy differed in favor of only postgraduate teachers. Within the framework of these findings, it is recommended to increase the quantity and quality of in-service training activities and educational technology courses in order to improve the technological professional equipment of Physical Education and Sports teachers in the face of situations that may interrupt face-to-face education. In addition, in cases where urgent distance education is required, it is recommended that the theoretical subjects of the Physical Education and Sports course be planned with Web 2.0 tools (EBA, Zoom, Kahoot, etc.) and the subjects that require skill practice should be planned with face-to-face education.
