Abstract

This study aims to examine expectations, and readiness and satisfaction levels of on-campus engineering students for a blended Calculus course, and to draw implications for course improvement, through quantitative measurement tools on the basis of gender, department, and prior exposure to online learning. Designed as a correlational survey, the study was conducted at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University with freshman students enrolled in computer and civil engineering departments. Total 102 students responded to expectancy and readiness survey administered at the beginning of the semester whilst 95 responded to the satisfaction survey at the end of the semester. Findings indicate no significant difference statistically for expectation, readiness and satisfaction levels of the participants as of gender, department and prior exposure to online learning. It is expected that findings from such studies will help to improve the design, development and implementation of online courses and programmes in Turkey.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman Üniversitesi Mühendislik Fakültesi İnşaat ve Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Bölümü öğrencilerinin çevrimiçi teknolojiler kullanılarak harmanlanmış olarak tasarlanan Kalkülüs-2 dersi bağlamında e-öğrenmeye dair beklenti, hazır bulunuşluk ve memnuniyetlerini değerlendirmektir. Çalışmadan elde edilecek sonuçların dersin tasarımının iyileştirilmesinde kullanılması planlanmaktadır. İlişkisel tarama modeli kullanılan çalışmada, katılmıcıalrın beklenti, hazır bulunuşluk ve memnuniyetleri cinsiyet, bölüm ve daha önceden e-öğrenme deneyimine sahip olup olmama durumlarına göre incelenmiştir. Amaçlı örneklem yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme kullanılan araştırmada, dönem başında yapılan beklenti ve hazır bulunuşluk çalışmasına 102 öğrenci, dönem sonunda yapılan memnuniyet çalışmasına 95 öğrenci katılmıştır. Elde edilen verilere göre Mühendislik Fakültesi öğrencilerinin e-öğrenmeden beklenti, hazır bulunuşluk ve memnuniyet düzeylerinde devam ettikleri bölüm, cinsiyet ve daha önceden e-öğrenme deneyimine sahip olma durumlarına göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Bu tür çalışmalardan elde edilen bulguların, Türkiye’de uzaktan eğitim yöntemiyle verilen ders ve programların niteliğinin artırılmasına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
