Ortaöğretim Öğrencilerinin Sosyal Ağlardan Öğrenme Biçimleri: Nitel Bir İnceleme

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, ortaöğretim öğrencilerinin, doğal bir öğrenme ortamı olarak çevrimiçi sosyal ağlardan yararlanma biçimleri betimlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda dokuz ortaöğretim öğrencisinin görüşleri, araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış bir görüşme formu ile toplanmış ve içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, ortaöğretim öğrencileri çevrimiçi sosyal ağlarda en çok arkadaşlarına ve öğretmenlerine sorarak öğrenmektedir. Bu ortamlarda en çok yabancı dil bilgilerini (genellikle İngilizce) artırmaktadır. Derslerle ilişkili olarak ise bu ortamları en çok ödev/projelerini sürdürmek ve sınavlara çalışmak amacıyla işe koşmaktadır.
