The he use of 3D printing technology offers students important opportunities in the development of 21st century skills. Encouraging studies on the use of this technology in social studies education have started to increase in recent years. In this context, this study aimed to determine teachers' views on the use of 3D printing technology in social studies education. The study was conducted using phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 18 social studies teachers. Data were collected through semi-structured interview forms. The data obtained from this form were subjected to qualitative coding and in vivo coding in the first stage and axial coding in the second stage. As a result of axial coding, the data were interpreted in four categories of 3D printer use in social studies education: Strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities.As a result of the research, it was seen that social studies teachers reported the weaknesses of using 3D printers in education mostly in categories such as costly printing, time-consuming, subject limitation, and insufficient class time. Regarding the threatening factors, teachers gave opinions in categories such as costly printing, disrupting equality of opportunity in education, insufficient technological equipment in schools, and insufficient class time. On the other hand, teachers' opinions on the strengths and opportunities of using 3D printing technology in education were mostly found in the categories of creating permanent learning, increasing attention and motivation, facilitating and concretizing learning.

Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmeni Perspektifinden 3B Yazıcıların Eğitimde Kullanımı

Öz

3B baskılama teknolojisinin kullanımı 21. yüzyıl becerilerinin gelişiminde öğrencilere önemli fırsatlar sunmaktadır. Söz konusu teknolojinin sosyal bilgiler eğitiminde kullanımına yönelik cesaretlendirici çalışmaların son yıllarda artmaya başladığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada 3B baskılama teknolojisinin sosyal bilgiler eğitiminde kullanımına yönelik öğretmen görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenoloji deseni kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma grubunu 18 sosyal bilgiler öğretmeni oluşturmuştur. Veriler yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları ile toplanmıştır. Bu formundan elde edilen veriler ilk aşamada niteliksel kodlama ve in vivo kodlamaya, ikinci aşamada eksenel kodlamaya tabii tutulmuştur. Eksenel kodlama sonucunda veriler sosyal bilgiler eğitiminde 3B yazıcı kullanımının branşa katkısı, zayıf yönleri, sınırlılıkları ve fırsatları olmak üzere dört üst kategoride yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda sosyal bilgiler öğretmenlerinin, eğitimde 3B yazıcı kullanmalarının zayıf yanlarına ilişkin en çok baskının maliyetli olması, zaman alması, konu sınırlılığı ve ders süresinin yetersiz kalması gibi kategorilerde görüş bildirdikleri görülmüştür. Öğretmenler tehdit eden unsurlara ilişkin baskının maliyetli olması, eğitimde fırsat eşitliğini bozması, okullardaki teknolojik donanım yetersizliği ve ders saatinin yetersiz kalması gibi kategorileri içeren görüşlere yer vermişlerdir. Buna karşı öğretmenlerin 3B baskılama teknolojisinin eğitimde kullanımının güçlü yanlarına ilişkin en çok kalıcı öğrenmeler oluşturması, dikkati ve güdülemeyi arttırması, öğrenmeyi kolaylaştırması ve somutlaştırması kategorisinde görüşlerine rastlanmıştır.
