Özet

Çevrim içi video paylaşım ve sosyal medya platformu olan YouTube ile çeşitli eğlence videolarının yanı sıra eğitim videolarını da barındırması nedeniyle resmî olmayan bir öğrenme ortamı olarak düşünülebilir. Bu çalışmada, uzaktan eğitim programına kayıtlı öğrencilerin YouTube’un bir öğrenme ortamı olarak kullanılmasına ilişkin görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgubilim modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak çevrim içi soru formu kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya toplam 117 öğrenci katılım göstermiştir. Toplanan verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, öğrenciler YouTube’da hem teorik hem de pratik açıdan bilgi ve beceriler elde ettiklerini, gündelik hayatta karşılaştıkları problemlere ilişkin çözümler bulabildiklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Öğrencilerin YouTube hakkındaki olumsuz deneyimleri ise; izlenen videoların görüntü kalitesinin düşüklüğü, video izleme esnasında çıkan reklamlar, içerik üreticisinin konuyu anlatırken bağlamdan uzaklaşması, konu anlatımlarında video sürelerinin uzun tutulması gibi konular şeklinde olmuştur. Çalışmanın sonuçları incelendiğinde öğrencilerin genel anlamda YouTube’da edindikleri deneyimlerden memnun kaldıkları söylenebilir.
