Abstract

The aim of this research is to develop a 3D virtual learning environment that supports collaborative learning, to identify elements that facilitate and obstruct the use of such environments, and to present solutions for problems that appear during the use of such environments. The method used in this study was formative research. The study was conducted with 56 senior students who were at the time studying in the Computer Education and Instructional Technology department at a university located in Ankara, and the implementation process lasted six weeks. In the data collection process, the study used focus group interviews and usage surveys that consisted of closed and open-ended questions. In the data analysis phase, descriptive statistics and content analysis were used. The results have shown that factors that influence the use of 3D virtual learning environments that support collaborative learning are the components of social presence, motivation, and utilization.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, işbirlikli öğrenmeyi destekleyen üç-boyutlu sanal dünyaları öğrenme ortamı olarak geliştirmek ve geliştirilen bu ortamların kullanımını kolaylaştıran ve engelleyen etkenleri belirleyerek olası kullanımı engelleyici etkenleri ortadan kaldıracak çözümler sunmaktır. Araştırma yöntemi olarak biçimlendirici araştırma kullanılmıştır. Araştırma, Ankara ili içerisinde bulunan bir üniversitenin Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Öğretmenliği bölümünde 4.sınıfa devam eden 56 katılımcı ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın uygulama aşaması 6 hafta boyunca devam etmiştir. Araştırmanın veri toplama işlemleri, içerisinde açık ve kapalı uçlu sorular yer alan kullanım anketi ve odak grup görüşmeleri ile gerçekleşmiştir. Verilerin analizi aşamasında ise nicel veriler için betimsel istatistik kullanılırken, nitel veriler için ise içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre işbirlikli öğrenmeyi destekleyen üç-boyutlu sanal öğrenme ortamlarının kullanımına etki eden faktörlerin sosyal bulunuşluk, motivasyon ve kullanımla ilgili bileşenler olduğu görülmüştür.
