Abstract

The aim of this study is to reveal general picture of the researches conducted in the field of Educational Technology in 2013. To fulfill the purpose of the study, 6 journals published in
2013, are indexed by Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) were analyzed according to the content analysis method. While examining the articles, “Article Publication Classification Form" developed by Göktaş et al. (2012) is used with some changes on it. At the first part of form, general information about article such as the name of author, name of article and etc. are provided and in remaining parts, some details related to data collection tools, sampling and analyzing data are provided. Within study, a subject classification form is used. According to result of the study, the most popular subject area is “Instructional Design” in 2013. "ICT in Education" and "Games in Learning " are other subject areas follow this subject area.

2013 YILI EĞİTİM TEKNOLOJİLERİ ARAŞTIRMALARININ İNCELENMESİ: AJET, BJET, C&E, ETRD, ETS ve L&I DERGİLERİ

Öz

Çalışmanın amacı, 2013 yılında Eğitim Teknolojisi alanında yapılan araştırmaların genel bir resmini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için alanla ilgili yayın yapan ve Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) kapsamında taranan 6 derginin 2013 yılında yayınlanan makaleleri içerik analizi yöntemine göre incelenmiştir. Makaleler incelenirken Göktaş vd. (2012) tarafından geliştirilen “Makale Yayın Sınıflama Formu” üzerinde bazı güncellemeler yapılarak kullanılmıştır. Formun birinci bölümünde makalenin adı, yazarı vb. bilgiler yer alırken geri kalan bölümlerde makalenin yöntemi, veri toplama araçları, örneklem ve veri analiz yöntemleri yer almıştır. Araştırmada bir de konu sınıflaması formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre eğitim teknolojisi alanında 2013 yılında en fazla çalışılan konu alanı “Öğretim Tasarımı” olmuştur. Öğretim tasarımı konu alanını “Eğitimde Bilişim Teknolojileri” ve “Eğitimde Oyun Kullanımı” konu alanı takip etmiştir.
