Abstract

In this study, preservice teachers' perceptions of online privacy were determined through metaphors. The study participants consisted of 111 preservice teachers studying in different departments at the faculty of education of a state university. In the study, conducted in a phenomenological design, the data collected through the questionnaire were analyzed by content analysis method. As a result of the analysis, 75 different metaphors created by preservice teachers about online privacy were grouped under 11 categories. The metaphors created were classified under the theme of media, information, and person, and the analysis revealed that most metaphors were in the theme of media privacy. In the distribution of metaphors created for media privacy, the analysis revealed that the private space category contained the most metaphors. The analysis revealed that the valuable category came to the fore in the information and personal categories in the person themes. It was determined that preservice teachers perceived online privacy as an area where personal information is available and a private environment that needs to be protected.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, öğretmen adaylarının çevrim içi mahremiyet algıları metaforlar aracılığıyla belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcılarını, bir devlet üniversitesinin eğitim fakültesinde farklı bölümlerde öğrenim gören 111 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Olgu bilim deseninde yürütülen çalışmada, anket yoluyla toplanan veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Analizler sonucunda öğretmen adaylarının çevrim içi mahremiyete yönelik oluşturdukları 75 farklı metafor 11 kategori altında toplanmıştır. Oluşturulan metaforlar ortam, bilgi ve kişi mahremiyeti temasında sınıflandırılmış, en fazla metaforun ortam mahremiyeti temasında yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ortam mahremiyetine yönelik oluşturulan metaforların dağılımında özel alan kategorisinin en fazla metaforu içerdiği saptanmıştır. Bilgi temasında değerli kategorisinin, kişi temasında ise kişisel kategorisinin ön plana çıktığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmen adaylarının, çevrim içi mahremiyeti sadece kişisel bilgilerin bulunduğu bir alan olarak değil, aynı zamanda korunması gereken mahrem bir ortam olarak algıladıkları belirlenmiştir.
