Abstract

Bu araştırmada, Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının dijital öyküleme sürecine ilişkin görüşlerinin ve algılarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada durum çalışması deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi yoluyla belirlenmiş olup Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi Türkçe Öğretmenliği Bölümü 3. sınıfta öğrenim gören 35 öğretmen adayından oluşmaktadır. Öğretmen adaylarının, dijital öyküleme sürecine ilişkin görüşlerini belirlemek için ise “Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu” ve dijital öykülere ilişkin algılarını tespit etmek için “Metafor Belirleme Formu” kullanılmıştır. Veriler, içerik analizi yoluyla değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda dijital öyküleme sürecinin, Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının en çok yazma, teknoloji ve konuşma becerilerini geliştirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada ayrıca Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının dijital öyküleri eğlenceli, sürükleyici, yansıtıcı bir araç olarak algıladıkları tespit edilmiştir.
