A study on perceived computer literacy skills of teacher candidates
Öz: Öğretmen adaylarının algılanan bilgisayar okuryazarlık becerileriyle ilgili olan bu araştırma bilgisayar kullanma süresi, ilköğretim ya da ortaöğretim süresince bilgisayar dersi alınıp alınmadığı, bilgisayara yönelik tutum ve özyeterlik algısı gibi değişkenler göz önüne alınarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma nicel bir durum çalışması olarak planlanıp yürütülmüştür. Eğitim fakültesinin farklı bölümlerinde öğrenim gören 125 öğretmen adayı ile birlikte yürütülen çalışmada veriler bilgisayar kullanımı anketi, bilgisayara yönelik tutum ölçeği ve bilgisayara yönelik özyeterlik algısı ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmen adayları kendilerini orta düzeyde bilgisayar okuryazarı olarak algılamaktadır. Öğretmen adaylarının bilgisayar okuryazarlık becerileri dışında bilgisayar kullanma becerileri zayıftır. Katılımcıların bilgisayara yönelik tutumları olumlu, bilgisayara yönelik özyeterlik algıları ise orta düzeydedir. İlköğretim ya da ortaöğretimde bilgisayar dersi alan ve almayan katılımcılar arasında gerek bilgisayar okuryazarlık düzeyleri gerekse bilgisayara yönelik tutumlar ve özyeterlik algıları arasında dersi alanlar lehine anlamlı farklar bulunmaktadır. Dahası, söz konusu edilen değişkenler arası farklar bilgisayar kullanma süresine göre oluşturulan gruplar arasında da bulunmaktadır. Bilgisayar kullanma süresi bilgisayar okuryazarlığı becerilerini etkilediği gibi bilgisayara yönelik tutum ve özyeterlik algısını da olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Bilgisayar kullanma süresi ayrıca algılanan bilgisayar okuryazarlık düzeyinin, bilgisayara yönelik tutumun ve özyeterlik algısının güçlü bir yordayıcısıdır.

Abstract: Perceived computer usage skills of teacher candidates were investigated in this study. Duration of computer use, computer courses taken at primary and/or secondary school, computer attitudes, and computer self‐efficacy levels were taken into consideration. The research was conducted as a quantitative case study with 125 teacher candidates enrolled in various disciplines. The data was collected by various tools such as computer usage questionnaire, computer attitudes scale, and computer self‐efficacy scale. According to the findings teacher candidates perceive themselves as moderately computer literate. Except from literacy skills, computer usage skills are low among teacher candidates. Teacher candidates have moderate levels of computer attitudes and computer self‐efficacy. The results of the study revealed that there were significant differences regarding computer literacy skills, computer attitudes, and computer self‐efficacy levels among the ones who have taken and who have not taken a computer course at primary or secondary school. Furthermore, these variables significantly differ according to duration of computer use. Computer experience came out as a strong predictor of perceived computer literacy skills, computer attitudes, and computer self‐efficacy.
