Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the current status of computer education in Turkish basic education schools by exploring the perceptions of computer teachers in terms of the policy of new computer education curriculum, which was prepared in 2006, and its actual implementations in schools. In the study, a mixed method research approach including both quantitative and qualitative traditions is employed as the primary research method. The results reveal that with the introduction of new computer education curriculum, many problems have emerged in the actual implementations of computer education courses in basic education schools. The most important of these problems are results of the elective status of computer education course and the limited time allocated for this course

Özet

. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Türkiye’deki ilköğretim okullarında görev yapan bilgisayar öğretmenlerinin 2006 yılında yenilenen ilköğretim bilgisayar dersi müfredatına karşı olan tutumlarını değerlendirmek ve bilgisayar dersinin yenilenen müfredatının ilköğretim okullarında nasıl uygulandığını göstermektir. Bu çalışmadaki öncelikli amaç; yenilenen ilköğretim bilgisayar dersi müfredatının bilgisayar öğretmenlerinin mesleki rolleri ve motivasyonları ile öğrencilerin derse karşı tutumları ve başarıları üzerinde olan etkilerini göstermek, yenilenen müfredata karşı öğretmen ve öğrenci tutumlarını araştırmak ve bilgisayar eğitimindeki temel faktörleri açıklayarak yenilen müfredat kapsamında ilköğretim okullarındaki bilgisayar dersinin uygulanışının mevcut durumunu açıklamaktır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, yenilenen ilköğretim bilgisayar dersi müfredatının, bilgisayar dersinin ilköğretim okullarındaki uygulanışında birçok problemi beraberinde getirdiğini göstermektedir. Bilgisayar eğitimi sırasında karşılaşılan en önemli problemlerin temel kaynağı bilgisayar dersinin seçmeli bir ders olması ve bu ders için ayrılan kısıtlı süredir. Bu durum göz önüne alındığında; Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’nın yeni bir öğretim programı geliştirerek bilgisayar eğitimini daha verimli yapma çabalarına ulaşıp ulaşmadığı açık değildir.
