3 Boyutlu Dijital Ortamda İngilizce Eğitimi

Bu çalışmanın amacı iki yönlüdür. Birinci gaye, eğitim alanında sıklıkla görülen felsefe eksikliği sorununu veya uygulamaların var olan eğitim felsefesi ve teorik prensiplerle çatışması problemini irdelemektir. İkinci amaç, eğitim teknolojileri alanındaki gelişmeleri gözler önüne sermek ve FATİH projesi ile bağlantılı olarak tutarsızlıkları tartışmaktır. Bu iki amacı gerçekleştirirken Uludağ Üniversitesi, Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri Birimi tarafından desteklenen ve başarıyla uygulanmış olan 3 boyutlu Second Life platformu üzerinde İngilizce eğitimi projesini anlatmak ve geleceğe ışık tutabilecek bazı bulgu ve fikirleri paylaşmak hedeflenmektedir. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma hem eğitim uygulamaları hem de eğitim teknolojilerinin gelişimleri için yön gösterici, yenilikçi ve ilerici bir niteliğe sahiptir; küreselleşmenin getirdiği mobil yaşam, hayat boyu öğrenme, uzaktan öğrenme, bilişim ve iletişim teknolojileri alanındaki gelişmelerin eğitim alanına nasıl entegre edilmesi gerektiği ile ilgili felsefi ve teorik alt yapı niteliğinde temel prensipleri ortaya koymaktadır.

English Language Education in a 3D Digital Environment

The purpose of the present study is twofold. First, it is aimed to discuss the lack of philosophy in education, and the inconsistencies and incompatibilities between the educational applications and the philosophies or theories that underlie them. Second, it is aimed to state the improvements in the field of educational technologies, and to determine the critical points with regard to the FATİH project. Additionally, it is aimed to introduce the project, namely English language education in a 3D digital environment that has been carried out by the help of Second Life platform and successfully concluded at Uludağ University. The discussions and conclusions of the present study are intended to illuminate the innovative and progressive attempts in education, which will be the inevitable conclusion of the mobile, distance, and lifelong learning principles of education that are accelerated by the globalization. The present study clarifies the links between philosophy in education and the theoretical framework of the practical applications that should be woven together with the information and communication technologies.
