Abstract

Günümüzde eğitsel sosyal ağ ortamlarından birisi olan Edmodo, etkileşimi artırarak birlikte öğrenmeye olanak sağlamaktadır. Nitel ve nicel araştırma yöntemlerinin birlikte kullanıldığı bu çalışmada Ankara’da özel bir kolejin ilköğretim bölümünden toplam 182 öğrencinin derse destek olarak Edmodo ortamını kullanımı incelenmiş, Edmodo’nun özellikleri ve derste kullanılmasına yönelik öğrenci görüşlerinin ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın veri toplama araçlarını, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen Edmodo ortamına karşı öğrenci görüşleri anketi, Edomodo ortamını değerlendirme rubriği ve yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları oluşturmuştur. Elde edilen veriler üzerinde nicel analiz sonucu elde edilen bulgular, nitel içerik analizi ile ortaya çıkan bulgular ile birlikte yorumlanmıştır. Sonuçta, öğrenciler tarafından Edmodo’nun bazı özellikleri eleştirilse de genellikle öğrenmelerine olumlu etkisi olan bir sistem olarak görüldüğü tespit edilmiştir.
