Yüksek Öğretimdeki Çevrimiçi İngilizce Derslere Öğrencilerin Hazırbulunuşluk Düzeyleri

Bu çalışmanın amacı üniversite öğrencilerin yüksek öğretimde verilen çevrimiçi İngilizce derslerini almaya ne kadar hazır olduklarını ölçmektir. Çevrimiçi İngilizce dersleri almada öğrencilerin hazır olup olmadıklarını ölçmek için Likert tipi anket uygulanmıştır. Veriler SPSS 20 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar öğrencilerin çoğunun dersleri takip edebilmek için yeterli bilgisayar ve akıllı telefon kullanma becerilerine sahip olduklarını göstermiştir. Bu becerilere sahip olmalarına ragmen birçok öğrencinin Öğrenci Yönetim Sistemi (LMS) hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığı ve sistemi verimli kullanadığı saptanmıştır. İngilizce ’nin çevrimiçi öğrenilmesi ve eğitilmesi konusuna öğrencilerin farklı yaklaşımları vardır. Bazı öğrenciler çevrimiçi eğitimi savunurken, bazıları verimsiz olduğunu düşünerek karşı çıkmaktadır. Öğrencilerin büyük bir çoğunluğu İngilizce öğrenmeye büyük önem vermektedir fakat nasıl bir çalışma programı tasarlayacaklarını bilmemektedirler. Yüksek öğretimde başarlılı olmanın ön koşullarından biri öğrenci özerkliğine sahip olmaktır ve üniversite düzeyindeki birçok öğrencide bu özelliğin olmadığı saptanmıştır

Students’ Readiness Levels towards Online English Courses in Higher Education

The aim of this study is to investigate students’ readiness level towards onlineEnglish courses given in higher education. A Likert type questionnaire was used to explorewhether students were ready to take English courses online. The data was descriptivelyanalysed with the statisticalprogramme, SPSS 20. Results showed that most of the studentshave enough computer and smartphone skills to follow courses online. Despite their skills,most students do not know how to use Learning Management System (LMS) effectively.Moreover, their attitudes towards teaching and learning English online is quite diverse.While some learners favour online instruction, others do not as they think it is ineffective. Agreat majority of students place a high value on learning English, but they do not know howto design a study plan. Being an autonomous learner is a prerequisite for success in highereducation, and the study found that many students at tertiary level lack that trait.Keywords: online courses, distance education, learner autonomy, web-based instruction,e-learning
