Öğretmenlerin bilgisayar kullanım düzeyleri ve bilgiye erişim portalı hakkındaki beklenti ve düşünceleri..

This purpose of this study is to find out the teachers’ perceived computer competencies and their expectations toward “Bilgiye Erişim Portalı” prepared by Ministry of National Education. Study focused on 30 teachers and 5 administrators from six different schools in Ankara in 2005-2006 fall semester. A none-experimental descriptive survey research design was employed by administrating a 5-point Likert type Computer Competency Scale and an open-ended interview schedule. The statistical analysis of the data obtained through the Likert type scale questionnaire indicated that the teachers feel themselves partially competent about computers. The highest mean score for scale was observed for in Word Processing, and the lowest mean score was observed in Presentation and Desktop Publishing Software. It was also demonstrated that there was no significant difference between having a computer course and buying notebook given by MONE and computer competency score. It was found that although there was no significant difference in teachers’ perceived computer competencies in terms of gender, male teachers had higher mean scores than female teachers. It was revealed that the less experienced teachers’ mean scores are higher than the more experienced teachers’ mean scores. Even though there obtained differences in possession of computer at home and at school, it was not determined as a significant factor. The analysis of the qualitative data assisted the identification of expectations of teachers toward “Bilgiye Erişim Portalı”. Under the light of the study results recommendations are suggested for both implication and further studies.M.S. - Master of Scienc
