Abstract

The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of adaptable social interaction tools on academic achievements and social presence perceptions of students. 3X2 factorial design was used in the research. 87 students, from Gazi University Faculty of Gazi Education Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology, were in the sample of the research. These students were enrolled in “Project Development and Management-I” course in 2010-2011 Fall Semester. Students were asked to choose one of four different online learning environments. According to their choices, students were assigned to three groups for different learning environments. Students studied within groups with the help of an instructor in the online learning environment which they had chosen, for 13 weeks. Dependent variables of this research were academic achievement and social presence perception. Students’ academic achievements in summative evaluation did not differ according to learning environments. The academic achievements of all students significantly increased from pretest to posttest. For this reason, it can be concluded that it was beneficial in terms of achievements to give the students the opportunity to adapt the social interaction tools they demanded at the beginning of the course. The social presence perceptions of all students were found to be high. In addition, no significant difference was found between social presence perceptions of the students according to the learning environment

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, çevrimiçi öğrenme ortamlarında uyarlanmış sosyal etkileşim araçlarının öğrencilerin akademik başarıları ve sosyal bulunuşluk algılarına etkisini belirlemektir. Araştırmada 3X2 faktöriyel desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Gazi Üniversitesi Gazi Eğitim Fakültesi Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi Bölümü 2010-2011 yılı Güz dönemi Proje Geliştirme ve Yönetimi I dersini seçen 87 kişi oluşturmuştur. Öğrencilere 4 farklı çevrimiçi öğrenme ortamı sunulmuş, kendi tercihleri doğrultusunda 3 ortama atanmışlardır. Ardından öğrenciler, araştırmanın deneysel sürecini, 13 hafta boyunca tercih etmiş oldukları çevrimiçi öğrenme ortamında öğretim elemanı eşliğinde ve grup arkadaşlarıyla çalışarak tamamlamışlardır. Araştırmanın bağımlı değişkenleri ise öğrencilerin akademik başarıları ile sosyal bulunuşluk algılarıdır. Öğrencilerin sonuç değerlendirmeye göre akademik başarı puanlarının çalıştıkları çevrimiçi öğrenme ortamına göre değişmediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Çalışma grubundaki tüm öğrencilerin akademik başarıları uygulama süreci sonunda anlamlı düzeylerde artmıştır. Bu nedenle, öğrencilere öğrenme sürecinin başlangıcında kullanmak istedikleri etkileşim araçlarını uyarlama fırsatının verilmesi tüm öğrencilerin öğrenmesi açısından faydalı olmuştur. Her 3 ortamdaki tüm öğrencilerin sosyal bulunuşluk algılarının yüksek olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bununla birlikte öğrencilerin sosyal bulunuşluk algılarının çalıştıkları çevrimiçi öğrenme ortamına göre değişmediği sonucuna varılmıştır.
