Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate perceptions of Turkish preservice EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers related to their level of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), the factors affecting their perceptions of TPACK, and their beliefs related to technology integration into EFL classrooms. The study employs both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis procedures. A total of 94 Turkish pre-service EFL teachers answered two questionnaires designed to gather information about their combining technology, pedagogy, and content knowledge in the ways of both learning and teaching processes. Six of the participants were also interviewed about their perceptions on TPACK competences and their beliefs related to technology use in language teaching. Quantitative data were analyzed by calculating descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean score, standard deviation), and qualitative data were analyzed by using content analysis. The findings related to quantitative data revealed high levels of perceptions on TPACK competences, and the findings related to qualitative data supported the high level of perceived TPACK competences and further revealed that participants emphasized the place of personal interest, experience, knowledge and access while singling out educational support by their own instructors on the development of TPACK. In the light of the findings of the study, it has been suggested that courses offered to pre-service teachers should include how to combine technology, content and pedagogy together for effective instruction in their subject field; and teacher education programs should provide pre-service teachers with the opportunities of becoming the designers of technologically mediated materials

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki İngilizce öğretmen adaylarının Teknopedagojik İçerik Bilgisi (TPİB) ile ilgili algılarını araştırmak ve bu algılarını etkileyen faktörleri ortaya çıkarmaktır. Hem nicel hem de nitel veri toplama yöntemleri ile yapılan çalışmaya 94 İngilizce öğretmen adayı katılmış ve öğrenme-öğretme süreçleriyle alakalı TPİB algılarını ölçmek üzere hazırlanmış olan iki farklı anket yanıtlamışlardır. Ayrıca, katılımcılar arasından seçilen altı İngilizce öğretmen adayı ile mülakat yapılmış ve bu öğretmen adaylarının TPİB ile ilgili görüş, tutum ve inançları daha derinlemesine ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Nicel veriler betimsel istatistikler (frekans, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma) kullanılarak analiz edilirken nitel veriler için içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Nicel veri analizi sonuçları öğretmen adaylarının yüksek derecede TPİB'ne sahip olduklarını ortaya koymuştur. Nitel veri analizi de hem nicel veri analizi sonuçlarını desteklemiş hem de öğretmen adaylarını TPİB ile ilgili görüş ve algılarının kişisel ilgi, tecrübe, bilgi birikimi ve alınan destek ile yakından alakalı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Nitel veri analizi de hem nicel veri analizi sonuçlarını desteklemiş hem de öğretmen adaylarını TPİB ile ilgili görüş ve algılarının kişisel ilgi, tecrübe, bilgi birikimi ve alınan destek ile yakından alakalı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Çalışmanın nicel ve nitel verilere dayanan ve birbirini destekler nitelikte olan bulguları göz önüne alınarak, İngilizce öğretmeni yetiştirme ile ilgili iki temel öneri sunulmuştur. Bunlardan biri, öğretmen yetiştirme sürecinde verilen derslerde öğretmen adaylarına teknolojiyi derslerinde etkili biçimde nasıl kullanabilecekleri ile ilgili dersler verilmesinin faydalı olabileceğidir. İkinci öneri ise, öğretmen adaylarına, teknoloji ile desteklenmiş ders materyali hazırlamalarına katkı sağlayacak olanakların sunulmasının önemli olduğudur
