Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate Turkish English-as-a-foreignlanguage (EFL) teachers' attitudes towards the use of interactive whiteboards (IWB) and the challenges they face while using this equipment in EFL classrooms. In this mixed methods study, the data were gathered in two steps: a) a questionnaire was administered to 42 English teachers to examine their profiles and their attitudes towards IWB, and b) interviews were conducted with 14 EFL teachers separately to examine the challenges in using the IWBs and their attitudes towards using IWBs in their classroom atmosphere. The quantitative results revealed that English teachers' had positive attitudes towards the use of IWBs. Further, there was no significant difference between female and male teachers in terms of attitudes towards the use of IWBs. The qualitative findings showed that the teachers experienced some problems regarding supplementary materials and their integration to IWBs, and seating arrangements in crowded classrooms. It was suggested that teachers should be trained to use the IWBs more effectively in different classroom contexts

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı İngilizceyi yabancı dil olarak öğreten Türk öğretmenlerin etkileşimli tahta (IWB) kullanımına ilişkin tutumlarını ve derslerde bunları kullanmada çektikleri güçlükleri incelemektir. Bu karma desen çalışmasında veriler iki aşamada toplandı: a) 42 öğretmene IWB'ye ilişkin tutumlarını ve profillerini incelemek için verilen anket, b) IWB kullanımına ilişkin tutumlarını incelemek ve sınıf ortamında kullanmadaki güçlüklerini incelemek için 14 öğretmenle ayrı ayrı yapılan mülakatlar. Nicel sonuçlar bu öğretmenlerin IWB'ye ilişkin olumlu tutamlarının olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca, erkek ve kadın öğretmenler arasında IWB kullanımına ilişkin tutumlar bakımından anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmamıştır. Nitel bulgular, öğretmenlerin destekleyici materyaller, onların IWB'ye entegrasyonu ve kalabalık sınıflardaki oturma düzenleri ile ilgili güçlükler yaşadığını göstermiştir. Öğretmenlerin farklı sınıf ortamlarında IWB'leri daha etkili kullanmaları için eğitim almaları önerilmiştir
