Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of internet addiction education given to secondary school students. This research was carried out in the pretest-posttest control group design and the sample of the research consists of 90 secondary school students studying in a district of Mersin. 'Descriptive Characteristics Form and Internet Addiction Scale' were used to collect data. Students were given education on internet addiction, and questionnaires were applied before and four months after the education. While the mean of daily internet use time measured with the pretest was 120.55±134.11 in the education group, the mean time of daily internet use measured by the posttest was 66.87±66.91 minutes. It was found that there was a statistically significant difference in the education group in terms of the sub-dimensions of the internet addiction scale and the overall scale score before and after the education (p<0.05). The difference between these means was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The questionnaire applied after the education showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the education and control groups in terms of negative social relations (p<0.05). The study concluded that the education given to secondary school students on internet addiction is effective.

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ortaokul öğrencilerine verilen internet bağımlılığı eğitiminin etkinliğinin incelenmesidir. Bu araştırma, ön test-son test kontrol grup deseninde yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, Mersin iline bağlı bir ilçede öğrenim gören 90 ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır.

Girişim grubunda eğitim öncesi ve eğitim sonrası yapılan internet bağımlılığı ölçeği alt boyutları ve genel ölçek puan ortalaması açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p<0,05). Eğitim sonrası uygulanan ankette, girişim ve kontrol grubu arasında sosyal ilişkilerde olumsuzluk açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0,05).
