Interactive Whiteboard Use in Educational Environments: Researchs and Trends
Abstract
Rapid changes in technology have a direct effect on education and
instruction, as in many areas. This interaction has required more effective
learning environment to train more qualified students. Making effective
learning environment and the use of effective technological tools offers a lot
of convenience for educators. Today, one of the most useful materials is
interactive whiteboard that utilized in UK firstly at the beginning of 1991. Interactive whiteboards working connected to
a computer and projector is a technological tool that provides to use the
interactive learning content projected on a flat ground. In Turkey, studies
about the use of interactive whiteboards (provided in FATIH project launched to
increase opportunities) are popular among researchers. The aim of this study is
to reveal the trends on research for the use of interactive whiteboards in
Turkey by examining the master and doctoral theses in National Thesis Center in
Council of Higher Education (CoHE) and thus to shed light on new studies to be
conducted in the future. For this purpose, using keywords related to the use of
interactive whiteboards, 49 theses have been reached as a result of scanning
(screening) through the National Thesis Center in CoHE. The results of the
research revealed that purposeful sampling has been preferred in the thesis and
these are written in Turkish mostly. Another finding in this study is that
quantitative and mixed methods have been used more than qualitative methods.
Interview, academic achievement tests, scales and surveys have been preferred
by researchers for data collection in the thesis widely and that data has been
analyzed by quantitative methods Even though researchers have utilized
statistics such as frequency, percent, mean, t-test, and ANOVA for analyzing
data, advance methods like MANOVA and MANCOVA have not been used.
