Emergency Online Teaching and COVID-19: Teachers’ Use and Integration of Computer Technologies

Abstract

The aim of the research was to determine the use of computer technologies and the status of integration into lessons during online teaching by class teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used a descriptive survey model. The study group for the research comprised 464 class teachers employed in official primary schools linked to the Ministry of National Education in Rize province. Two scales were used in the research; the Technology Integration Self-Efficacy Scale and the Teachers’ Information and Communication Technologies Integration Approach Scale. Data were analyzed with the t test, ANOVA and correlation test. Male teachers were determined to have higher use of computer technologies and higher levels of ability to integrate it into lessons compared to female teachers. Though there was no difference in use of technology levels of teachers, their levels of ability to integrate technology into lessons differed according to seniority. The use of computer technology by teachers and levels of ability to integrate into lessons did not differ according to receiving in-service training related to technology and educational status. Teachers’ use of technology and levels of ability to integrate into lessons differed according to the hours of lessons given using technology. As the levels of use of education technology by class teachers increased, their levels of ability to integrate computer technology into lessons also increased. Keywords: Online teaching, technology integration, class teacher, Covid 19.
