Ağ araştırması (web quest) tasarlayıcılarının bu etkinliklerin hazırlanması sürecine ve Türkiye'de uygulanabilirliklerine ilişkin görüşleri

Nitel tasarımda gerçekleştirilen bu örnek olay araştırmasında Ağ Araştırması etkinliği hakkında bilgi sahibi ya da en az bir Ağ Araştırması etkinliği hazırlayan eğitimcilerin Ağ Araştırması etkinliklerinin hazırlanması sürecine ve Türkiye’de uygulanabilirliklerine ilişkin düşüncelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini bir Üniversitenin Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü Kimya Eğitimi Yüksek Lisans Programı kapsamındaki Kimya Eğitiminde İnternet Tabanlı Öğretim dersini alan 12 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada yapılandırılmış Ağ Araştırması Görüş Formu ile toplanan nitel veriler analitik tümevarım yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcılar bu tür etkinliklerin öğrenme ortamlarına hem duyuşsal hem de bilişsel açıdan olumlu katkı getireceğini belirtmişler; ancak okulların mevcut yapısı dikkate alındığında bazı teknik donanım ve öğrenci/öğretmen yeterlilikleri konusunda yaşanabilecek bazı olumsuzluklara dikkat çekmişlerdir.

Webquest designers' thoughts about the preparation process and applicability of these activities in Turkey

In this qualitative case study it was aimed to sort out the views of the educators, who knows about webquest activities or designed at least one webquest, about preparation process and applicability of these activities considering Turkey’s educational conditions. The sample of the study consisted of 12 graduate students who attended the Internet Based Learning in Chemistry Education course in Chemistry Education Program at Institute of Science at a University. The qualitative data collected using a structured Views about Webquest Form (VWF) were analyzed with the analytic induction method. The participants drew attention to the points that this type of activities would make positive contributions to the learning situations in both affective and cognitive means; however, taking the existing conditions of the schools into account, they pointed some shortcomings related to technology and student/teacher proficiencies.
