Abstract

Teknolojik gelişmeler ile eğitimin şekli her gün değişiyor. Bu değişim, özellikle Yüksek Öğrenim
Kurumlarında dijital yerlilerin yerleştirilmesi için gereklidir. Günümüzde, öğrenim ve öğretimin daha
190
uygun bir yolunu sağlayan Öğrenme Yönetim Sistemleri yaygın olarak eğitimde kullanılmaktadır. Her
ne kadar birçok kurum bu sistemleri kullanıyor olsa da, bazı eğitmenler bu teknolojiyi öğretilerine entegre
etmek konusunda hala direnç göstermektedir. Kurumsal teknoloji politikasi, kurumlarda teknoloji
kullanımının yaygınlaştırılmasında etkili olduğu görülen faktörlerden biridir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmanın
amacı, öğrencilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının Öğrenme Yönetim Sistemi aktivitelerini analiz ederek,
kurumsal politikanın teknoloji yayılımı üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Analizin ilk bölümünde
kurumsal politika değişiminden önce ve sonra eğitmenlerin Öğrenme Yönetim Sistemleri etkinlik verileri
kullanılmıştır. Fakültelere göre politika öncesi ve sonrası değişim arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmek için
SPSS kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının Öğrenme Yönetim Sistemlerinin
kullanımındaki politika öncesi ve sonrası değişimler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olup
olmadığını analiz etmek için analizin ikinci bölümünde Bağımlı Örneklem t-Testi kullanılmıştır. Bu
çalışmanın bulguları, teknoloji kullanım politikasındaki değişimin öğrencilerin ve öğretim elemanlarının
Öğrenme Yönetim Sisteminin aktif kullanımı üzerinde herhangi bir etkiye sahip olmadığını
göstermektedir. Bu bulgular göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, bu çalışma, Yükseköğretim Kurumlarında
Öğrenme Yönetim Sistemi temelli etkinlikleri artırmak için etkili politika uygulama ve yaygınlaştırmanın
önemini vurgulamaktadır. Teknolojinin eğitime entegrasyonunun öğrenci katılımını ve performansını
artırdığı açıkça bilinmektedir, dolayısıyla bu çalışma yüksek öğretim kurumlarında etkili bir teknoloji
kullanım politika uygulamasının önemini vurgulamaktadır.

The Importance of LMS Use Policy in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

The shape of education is changing on a daily basis with the technological advances. This change is
especially necessary to accommodate digital natives in Higher Education Institutions. Today, Learning
Management Systems which provide more convenient way of learning and teaching are commonly used
in education. Although many institutions utilize such systems, some instructors are still reluctant to
integrate this technology into their teaching. Institutional technology policy is one of the factors that have
been found to have an influence on the dissemination of technology use in institutions. Therefore, the aim
of this study is to examine the impact of institutional policy on dissemination of technology by analysing
Learning Management System activities of students and instructors. In the first part of the analysis before
and after institutional policy change Learning Management Systems activity data of instructors are
utilized. SPSS is used to analyse the relationship between pre- and post-policy change according to
faculties. Paired Sample T-Test is used in the second part of the analysis to analyse if there is a statistically
significant difference between the pre- and post-policy change on students and instructors use of Learning
Management Systems. The findings of this study show that the change in policy does not have any impact
on the active use of Learning Management System by students and instructors. Considering these
findings, this study highlights the importance of effective policy implementation and dissemination in
order to increase Learning Management System based activities in Higher Education Institutions. It is
clearly known that the integration of technology into education increases student engagement and
performance therefore, this study underlines the importance of an effective policy implementation in
higher education institutions.
