A Brief Review of the Impact of Some Web 2.0 Tools on Language Learners’ Motivation

Year 2024, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 131 - 143, 17.12.2024

Abstract

This study is a literature review design aimed at examining the impact of Web 2.0 tools on learners' motivation. Previous research on the use of Web 2.0 tools in education and the role of technology in enhancing student motivation was systematically reviewed. The literature review reveals that interactive tools, especially platforms like Quizizz, play a significant role in increasing students' interest in learning and strengthening their motivation. Studies show that these tools enhance student engagement, make the learning process more appealing, and positively affect students' academic performance. This paper discusses how Web 2.0 tools can be used more effectively in education and how their integration into teaching practices leads to positive outcomes for students. Additionally, it evaluates the potential of technology use in education to boost student motivation and improve the overall learning experience.

Bazı Web 2.0 Araçlarının Dil Öğrencilerinin Motivasyonu Üzerindeki Etkisine Dair Bir Değerlendirme

Year 2024, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 131 - 143, 17.12.2024

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Web 2.0 araçlarının öğrencilerin motivasyonu üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçlayan bir literatür taraması tasarımıdır. Eğitimde Web 2.0 araçlarının kullanımı ve eğitimde teknoloji kullanımının öğrenci motivasyonu üzerindeki etkileri üzerine yapılmış önceki araştırmalar sistematik bir şekilde gözden geçirilmiştir. Literatür taraması, etkileşimli araçların, özellikle Quizizz gibi araçların öğrencilerin öğrenmeye olan ilgisini artırmada ve motivasyonlarını güçlendirmede önemli bir rol oynadığını ortaya koymuştur. Araştırmalar, bu tür araçların öğrenci katılımını artırarak öğrenme sürecine olan ilginin güçlendiğini, öğrenme deneyimini daha çekici hale getirdiğini ve öğrencilerin başarılarını olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Bu makale, Web 2.0 araçlarının eğitimde nasıl daha etkili bir şekilde kullanılabileceğini ve öğretim süreçlerine entegrasyonunun öğrenciler üzerinde nasıl olumlu sonuçlar doğurduğunu tartışmaktadır. Ayrıca, eğitimde teknoloji kullanımının öğrenci motivasyonunu artırma ve öğrenme deneyimini iyileştirme konusunda taşıdığı potansiyel üzerine de değerlendirmelerde bulunmaktadır.
