SEMANTIC WEB-BASED PERSUASIVE TECHNOLOGY USE IN MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTION

Abstract

The current study discusses persuasive technology use with regard to mathematics instruction. In addition to the theoretical background on web-based mathematics education, relevant theoretical frameworks on the diffusion of innovation, cognitive load and technology acceptance were discussed followed by particular persuasive technologies to be used in mathematics teaching. The potential of semantic Web with regard to information acquisition was considered and a sample persuasive technology in mathematics teaching (i.e. Wolfram Alpha) was evaluated with regard to instructional affordances and persuasiveness.

MATEMATİK ÖĞRETİMİNDE SEMANTİK WEB TABANLI İKNA TEKNOLOJİSİ KULLANIMI

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ikna teknolojisi kavramının matematik öğretimi bağlamında betimlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Kuramsal çerçeve içerisinde Web tabanlı matematik eğitiminin yanı sıra yeniliklerin yayılması kuramı ve teknoloji kabul modelleri ele alınmış; bu bağlamda matematik öğretiminde kullanılan ilgili teknolojiler irdelenmiştir. Özellikle günümüz Web tabanlı teknolojilerinden biri olan semantik Web'in enformasyon edinimi bağlamında potansiyeline değinilmiş; bu yönde özelleşmiş bir uygulama olan Wolfram Alpha'nın matematik öğretimindeki yeri ve öğretimde ikna potansiyeli değerlendirilmiştir.
