Abstract

This paper attempted to investigate the technology acceptance issues of the students caused by COVID-19, the global epidemic forcing educational institutions to shift towards distance education processes. This research aims to explain how the distance education system, which was compulsory during the COVID-19 pandemic period, was perceived by users and the variables that caused the acceptance or rejection of the system through the Technology Acceptance Model and The Information Systems Success Model variables. During the 2019-2020 spring semester, 377 undergraduate and graduate degree students from Kütahya Dumlupinar University and Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University took distance education courses 5-point Likert type questions were asked to measure the impact of demographic factors and main variables proposed by the questionnaire. According to the findings, it was seen that the universities owned only 50% of the required technological infrastructure tools. In addition, information quality, system quality and perceived benefit, which affect distance learning platforms, also affect the user satisfaction rates. The user satisfaction variable affects usage rate explaining 39% of the variable. It is asserted that the distance education platform is used as an alternative to face-to-face training, and that will be important for improving the user direction, having the necessary infrastructure tools, managing the process more successfully.

Özet

Bu çalışma, 2020 yılında COVID-19’un neden olduğu küresel salgın sebebiyle eğitim kurumlarının zorunlu olarak geçtikleri uzaktan eğitim süreçlerinin öğrenciler tarafından kabulüne (acceptance) yönelik tutumları araştırmaktadır. Bu araştırma ile COVID-19 pandemisi döneminde zorunlu olarak geçilen uzaktan eğitim sisteminin öğrenciler tarafından nasıl algılandığını ve sistemin kabulüne sebep olan değişkenlerin Teknoloji Kabul Modeli ve Bilgi Sistemleri Başarı Modeli değişkenleri ile ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. 2019-2020 bahar dönemi uzaktan ders alan Kütahya Dumlupınar Üniversitesi ve Bilecik Şeyh Edebali Üniversitesi lisans ve ön lisans 377 öğrenciye anket uygulanmış, demografik soruların oluşturduğu bir bölüm ve değişkenlerin etkisini ölçmek amacıyla 5’li Likert tipi sorular yöneltilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre uzaktan eğitime erişmek için sahip olunması gereken teknolojik altyapı araçlarının sahiplik oranına bakıldığında öğrencilerin %50’sinin sahip olduğu, %50’sinin sahip olmadığı yönünde sonuca ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca uzaktan eğitim platformunun kullanımını etkileyen bilgi kalitesi, sistem kalitesi ve algılanan fayda, kullanıcı memnuniyetini etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kullanıcı memnuniyeti değişkeni ise kullanımı etkilemekte ve %39 seviyesinde açıklamaktadır. Bu çalışma ile yüz yüze eğitime alternatif olarak kullanılan uzaktan eğitim platformunun öğrenci yönünde iyileştirilmesi, gerekli altyapı araçlarına sahip olunmasının sürecin daha başarılı yönetilmesi ve faydalı olması adına önemli olacağı düşünülmektedir.
