Abstract

Bu araştırma Türkçe öğretmenlerinin uzaktan eğitim sürecinde dijital ortam ve içeriklerin kullanımında yaşadıkları sorunları tespit etmeye odaklanmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını farklı illerde, farklı yıllarda mesleki tecrübeye sahip Türkçe öğretmenleri oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri Google Forms üzerinden oluşturulan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırmanın bulguları Türkçe öğretmenlerinin uzaktan eğitim sürecinde; bağlantı ve altyapı kaynaklı erişim sorunu, dijital ortamların ve içeriklerin yetersizliği, iletişim ve etkileşim, motivasyon, dönüt, ders saati sürelerinin yetersizliği, çevrimiçi ortamları ve içerikleri kullanma sorunu, EBA ortamı ve içeriklerinden kaynaklı sorunlar, temel dil becerilerinin öğretimi, ölçme ve değerlendirme gibi sorunlar yaşadıklarını göstermiştir.
