Özel Eğitim Öğretmenlerinin Bilgisayar Tutumlarının İncelenmesi

Abstract

Türkiye’de son yıllardaki yasal düzenlemelerin de etkisi ile her geçen gün yaygınlaşan ve önem kazanan özel eğitim teknolojik gelişmelerden oldukça etkilenmektedir Özellikle eğitim teknolojileri alanındaki önemli yenilikler özel eğitimde kullanılacak etkili materyallerin geliştirilmesinde yarar sağlamıştır Bilgisayar destekli olarak da üretilen ve kullanılan bu materyallerin özel eğitimde yer alması eğitimin kalitesine önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır Fakat teknolojik altyapı ve materyallere yapılan yatırımların etkili ve yararlı olabilmesi için iyi yetişmiş donanımlı eğitimcilerin varlığı önem kazanmaktadır Bu noktada özel eğitim öğretmenlerinin bilgisayar tutumlarının incelenmesi önemli bir konu olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır Bu amaç doğrultusunda gerçekleştirilen araştırmada Balıkesir ilinde özel eğitim kurumlarında görevli öğretmenlerin bilgisayar tutumları incelenmiştir Genel tarama modelinin kullanıldığı araştırmada örneklem olarak 7 özel eğitim kurumunda çalışan 91 özel eğitim meslek elemanı belirlenmiştir Araştırmada Deniz 1994 tarafından geliştirilen 3 alt boyuta sahip “bilgisayar tutum ölçeği” kullanılmaktadır Toplanan verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel istatistikler ile tek yönlü varyans analizi LSD testi t Testi ve Anova istatistik tekniklerinden yararlanılmıştır Araştırma sonucunda özel hizmet alanında çalışanların bilgisayar yönelik olumlu tutum geliştirdikleri tespit edilmiştir
