Görüntülü Konferans Uygulamalarında Öğrenen-Öğretici Etkileşimi: Öğreticiler Açısından Değerlendirme

Anadolu Üniversitesi uzaktan eğitim programlarında işlevi ve ağırlığı yönünden birbirinden farklı iletişim teknolojilerinden yararlanılmaktadır. Etkileşimli görüntülü konferans uygulamaları da, Anadolu üniversitesi uzaktan eğitim programlarında yer alan ve KKTC'de öğrenim görenlerin derslerine entegre olmuş iletişim teknolojilerinden biridir. Literatürde yapılan çalışmalara bakıldığında, görüntülü konferans uygulamalarında öğrenen-öğretici etkileşiminin çoğunlukla öğretici değerlendirmeleri boyutunda ele alınıp incelendiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada öğrenen-öğretici etkileşiminin nasıl gerçekleştiği, literatürde yapılan çalışmalara benzer şekilde, öğretici değerlendirmeleri göz önünde bulundurularak yapılmıştır. Öğretici değerlendirmelerine bağlı olarak, bu çalışmada, görüntülü konferans uygulamalarında öğrenen-öğretici etkileşiminin nasıl gerçekleştiği ve etkileşimi sağlamada hangi unsurların dikkate alındığı betimsel analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Araştırma, görüntülü konferans programında ders veren öğreticilerin öğrenenlerle etkileşimli bir ders gerçekleştirebilmek için farklı iletişim ve öğretme becerilerinden yararlanmaya çabaladıklarını, ancak, gerek kullanılan teknolojinin avantaj ve sınırlılıklarını bilmemelerinden, gerekse, kullanılan teknolojiye bağlı aksaklıklar nedeniyle istenilen düzeyde etkileşimi gerçekleştiremediklerini ortaya koymuştur.

Learner-to-Instructor Interaction in Video Conference Applications: Instructors' Perceptions

Various communication technologies for different functions( and with different intensitis) are being used in distance education programs of Anadolu University. Interactive video conference is one of these communication technologies that has been employed in the distance programs of the University and has been integrated in the distance courses for learners who reside in the Northern Cyprus Turkish Republic. In the literature, learner-to-instructor interaction in interactive video conferences has been studied usually from the point of views of the instructors. In accordance with the literature, instructors' evaluations have been used in this study. This study was intended to investigate the ways learners and instructors interact in the video conferences by using a descriptive analysis methodology. The study has revealed that in their video conferences, although the instructors try to make use of various communication and teaching skills, they could not establish intended level of interaction with students due to lack of knowledge about limitations and advantages of the technology as well as technological problems they encountered during the implementations.
