THE INVESTIGATION OF PSYCHOLOGICAL AND CULTURAL BASEMENT OF USING TURKISH KEYBOARD OF F (ISTANBUL CITY EXAMPLE)

Abstract

The rapid development of information and communication technologies in recent years, and the resulting attitudes and behaviors, directly impact cultural foundations, human psychology, and especially education. Previously, writing evoked notebooks, pens, ink, blackboards, chalk, and erasers. Now, these materials are replaced by computers, iPads, and mobile phones, and the concept of pens, notebooks, and erasers has evolved into a faster form of writing, integrated with keys and voice. Speed and convenience are the driving forces here. Along with the use of keyboards, writing processes and skills are also evolving daily, with very fast typing techniques using ten fingers becoming more prominent. Therefore, developing writing systems that facilitate the brain's control of the hand will be significant and meaningful. The compatibility of the keyboard with the alphabet used will facilitate brain control, providing psychological and physical comfort. A lack of this will lead to stress and disharmony. This study focuses on these issues, and 250 students enrolled in the Pendik Yunus Emre Trade Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, Kartal Trade Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, and Kartal Şehit Burak Cantürk Trade Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School in Istanbul during the 2024-2025 academic year participated in the study voluntarily.
