Özet

Amaç: Bu araştırma, COVID-19 pandemisi sürecinde eğitimlerine uzaktan devam eden öğrencilerin acil yapılandırılmış web tabanlı eğitim hakkındaki geri bildirimlerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapıldı.

Yöntem: Çalışmamıza 2019-2020 bahar döneminde pandemi nedeniyle lisans/lisansüstü eğitimine web tabanlı olarak uzaktan devam eden ve internet ortamından gönderilen ankete erişim sağlayan toplam 652 üniversite öğrencisi dâhil edildi. Genel sosyo-demografik özellikler, medya araçlarını kullanım bilgileri, web tabanlı eğitimin bilgi düzeyine etkisi ve uzaktan eğitime ilişkin geribildirimleri yapılandırılmış bir anket ile değerlendirildi. Web tabanlı eğitimin, öğrencilerin teorik bilgi düzeylerine, genel kültür düzeylerine ve mesleki uygulama becerilerine katkısını değerlendirmek amacıyla 0 ile 10 arasında puanlanan Sayısal Oranlama Skalası kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21.07±2.37 yıl olup, %79.1’i kadındı. Öğrencilerin bilgi almak amacıyla en çok kullandığı medya aracının Twitter (%39.9) olduğu saptandı. Pandemi sürecinde öğrencilerin sosyal medya ve televizyon başında geçirdikleri sürelerin yaklaşık iki kat arttığı bulundu (p<.001). Web tabanlı uzaktan eğitimin teorik bilgi düzeyine katkısı 10 üzerinden 4.07±2.42, genel kültüre katkısı 3.46±2.38, mesleki uygulama becerilerine katkısı 2.48±1.98 olarak belirlendi. Öğrencilerin %84.4’ü web tabanlı uzaktan eğitimin yüz yüze eğitim kadar etkili olmadığını, %45.7’si bunun yüzyüze eğitime alternatif olduğunu belirtti. Öğrenciler öğretim elemanlarıyla rahatça iletişim kuramadıklarını (%49.9), web tabanlı eğitimin kendi hızlarında öğrenmelerine olanak sağladığını (%60.7), ancak öğrenilenin çabuk unutulduğunu (%74.6) ve eğitimler sırasında teknik sorunlar yaşadığını (%53.9) bildirdi.

Sonuç: Pandemi sürecinde, yüz yüze eğitime ara verilmesi nedeniyle yüz yüze eğitime alternatif bir çözüm olarak kullanılan ve acil olarak yapılandırılan web tabanlı uzaktan eğitimin öğrencilerin geribildirimlerine göre avantaj ve dezavantajlarının değerlendirilmesi, sürecin yansımalarını görme ve bu tip eğitimlerin uygun yapılandırılması için önemli olabilir.

Abstract

Objective: This research was conducted to assess the feedback of students who continue their education during the COVID-19 pandemic period, which was structured as emergency webbased education.

Material and Methods: In our study, a total of 652 university students attending undergraduate/postgraduate education remotely on a web-basis due to the pandemic in the spring semester of 2019-2020 and accessing the questionnaire sent online were included. The general socio-demographic characteristics, information on the use of media, the effect of webbased education on the level of knowledge, and distance education feedback were evaluated with a structured questionnaire. The Numeric Rating Scale, scored between 0 and 10, was used to evaluate the contribution of web-based education to students’ theoretical knowledge levels, general culture levels, and professional practice skills.

Findings: The average age of students was 21.07 ± 2.37 years, and 79.1% were female. It was determined that the media most used by students for information was Twitter (39.9%). It was found that the time spent by the students on social media and television during the pandemic period increased approximately twice (p<.001). The contribution of web-based distance education to the theoretical knowledge level was determined as 4.07±2.42, the contribution to general culture was 3.46 ± 2.38, and the contribution to professional practice skills was 2.48±1.98 out of 10. 84.4% of students stated that web-based distance education is not as effective as face-to-face education, 45.7% stated that this is an alternative. The students reported that they could not communicate comfortably with the instructors (49.9%), that web-based education allowed them to learn at their own pace (60.7%), but what was learned was quickly forgotten (74.6%), and that they experienced technical problems during the trainings (53.9%).

Conclusion: In the pandemic period, assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of emergency structured web-based distance education, which is used as an alternative solution to face-to-face education due to the interruption of face-to-face education, can be important for seeing the reflections of the period and proper configuration of such trainings.

Key Words: COVID 19, distance education, social media.
