Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the discussion topics of ICT teachers and to determine the cultural differences in these discussions forums. To achieve these aims, two online discussion forums were examined, one of them titled as memurlar.net which was used by ICT teachers in Turkey; and the other one titled as TES (Times Education Supplement) which was used by ICT teachers in the UK. These forums were comprised of 12107 different topics, which were discussed by the ICT teachers from 2005 to 2018, were analyzed by content analysis and the results were presented by using descriptive statistic methods. As a result of the content analysis, it was found that ICT teachers discussed about political changes related to their fields; pedagogical and subject content knowledge and skills; their occupational problems and solutions; ICT teacher professionalism; professional development and students’ academic achievement in both counties. It was noticed that there were cultural differences between two countries in three different dimensions which was about political changes, professional development and professionalism. Based on the results of presented study, it can be said that Turkish ICT teachers need to improve themselves about who they are as a professional, what they can do as an ICT teacher and how they can educate qualified students.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı; Türkiye ve İngiltere’deki Bilişim Teknolojileri (BT) öğretmenlerinin çevrimiçi forumlarda tartıştıkları konuları incelemektir. Bu amaçla; Türkiye'deki BT öğretmenlerinin memurlar.net adlı çevrimiçi tartışma forumundaki paylaşımları ile İngiltere’deki TES (Times Education Supplement) adlı kuruluşun üyesi olan BT öğretmenlerinin kuruluş bünyesinde yer alan çevrimiçi tartışma ortamındaki paylaşımları incelenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında iki tartışma forumunda 2005-2018 yılları arasında paylaşılan toplam 12107 konu başlığı içerik çözümlemesi ile incelenmiş, elde edilen sonuçlar betimsel istatistikî yöntemler kullanılarak sunulmuştur. Yapılan içerik çözümlemesi sonucunda, çevrimiçi tartışma forumlarında BT öğretmenlerinin; alanları ile ilgili politik düzenlemeler, konu alanı-meslek bilgisi, becerisi ve davranışları; yaşanılan sorunlar ve çözüm önerileri; BT öğretmenlerinin profesyonellik algıları; mesleki gelişimleri ve öğrencilerin gelişimleri konularında tartıştıkları belirlenmiştir. İki ülke arasında özellikle politik düzenlemeler ile mesleki gelişim ve profesyonellik algısı boyutlarındaki tartışmaların yoğunluklarındaki farklılaşmalar dikkati çekmektedir. Örneğin; profesyonellik algısı ile ilgili olarak Türkiye’de en fazla benlik algısı ile görev ve sorumluluklar tartışılırken, İngiltere’de mesleki yeterlilikler ve alana bakış açıları tartışılmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçları her iki ülkedeki politik kararların ve kararların alınış ve uygulanış biçimlerinin, BT öğretmenlerinin hem mesleki gelişim süreçlerini hem de profesyonellik algılarını oldukça fazla etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır.
