Büro yönetimi ve yönetici asistanlığı öğretim elemanlarının bilgi teknolojilerine olan tutumlarının belirlenmesine yönelik bir alan çalışması
Bu çalışma, Meslek Yüksekokullarının Büro Yönetimi ve Yönetici Asistanlığı programında görev yapmakta olan öğretim elemanlarının bilgi teknolojilerine olan tutumlarını ve teknoloji kullanımlarını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmanın evrenini Türkiye’de bulunan Meslek Yüksekokullarının Büro Yönetimi ve Yönetici Asistanlığı programında görev yapmakta olan 455 öğretim elemanı oluşturmaktadır. 455 öğretim elemanına anket verileri ulaştırılmış fakat yalnızca 100 öğretim elemanı anket verilerine geri dönüş yapığı için, araştırmanın örneklemini 100 öğretim elemanı oluşturmuştur. Bu araştırmanın verileri “Büro Yönetimi ve Yönetici Asistanlığı Öğretim Elemanlarının Bilgi Teknolojilerine Olan Tutumları Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Ölçek 2014 yılında “Okullarda Bilgisayar: Disiplinlerarası Uygulama, Teori ve Uygulamalı Araştırma Dergisinde (Computers in the Schools: Journal of Practice, Theory and Applied Research)” yayınlanmış olan “Öğretmenlerin Öğretim (bilgi ve bilgisayar) Teknolojilerine Olan Tutumları: Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (Measuring Teacher Attitudes Toward Instructional Technology: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis of the TAC and TAT)” makalesinden Türkçeye uyarlanılarak kullanılmıştır. Yapılan güvenilirlik analizi sonucunda cronbach alfa değeri 0.858 olarak bulunmuştur. Araştırmada nitel ve nicel yöntemlerin birarada kullanıldığı karma araştırma modeli kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırma sonucunda, Büro Yönetimi ve Yönetici Asistanlığı programında görev yapmakta olan öğretim elemanlarının bilgi teknolojilerine olan tutumlarının pozitif düzeyde olduğu ve tutumlarındaki bu pozitifliğin teknoloji kullanımlarıyla (bilgisayar kullanımı, internet kullanımı (www), e-mail kullanımı, çoklu-mesya kullanımı) parelellik gösterdiği saptanmıştır.
