Abstract

Web 2.0 teknolojileri arasında eğitim ortamlarında en sık kullanılan teknolojilerden biri ağ günlüğüdür. Ağ günlüğü blog güncelden eskiye doğru yazılan çeşitli yazı ve yorumların yanı sıra çoklu ortam nesnelerini grafik, animasyon, film, vs kapsayan web tabanlı bir yayın aracıdır 1 . Bu çalışmanın amacı ağ günlüğü yayıncılığı ve kullanımı konusunda tecrübeleri olan Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi AİBÜ , Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi Bölümü BÖTE öğrencilerinin bilgi paylaşım ve web yayın araçları olarak ağ günlükleri hakkındaki görüşlerini incelemektir. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu cinsiyet, İnternet kullanım sıklığı ve ağ günlükleri hakkında çoktan seçmeli ve yarı yapılandırılmış soruları içeren anket formuyla toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya 3. ve 4. sınıfta öğrenim gören 33 BÖTE öğrencisi katılmıştır. Veriler betimsel istatistikler ve nitel veri analiz yöntemlerinden kategori oluşturma yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada ağ günlüğü yayınlamanın öğrencilere yaptığı katkılar, ağ günlüğü yayıncılığının avantajları ve dezavantajları incelenmiştir. Ayrıca, BÖTE öğrencilerinin ileriki mesleki yaşantılarında ağ günlüğü kullanımı konusundaki düşünceleri ve ağ günlüğü kullanımın öğrenme-öğretme ortamlarına yapabileceği katkılar konusundaki düşünceleri de ele alınmıştır.
