Digital Educational Tools for Student-Centered Physics Instruction: Applications of the Türkiye Century Education Model

Abstract

This study examined the effectiveness of using digital educational tools in student-centered physics instruction within the scope of the Türkiye Yüzyılı Maarif Modeli (Türkiye Century Education Model, TCEM). The research was conducted with 61 ninth-grade students from two classrooms at Trabzon Araklı Mehmet Akif Ersoy Anatolian High School. Based on an action research design, qualitative data were collected through observations and focus group interviews, while quantitative data were obtained using a performance-based rubric. Students carried out digitally supported activities in groups of four. Augmented reality applications, simulations, and interactive digital platforms were utilized during the research process. The findings indicate that these tools enhanced student engagement, improved conceptual understanding, and supported collaborative learning. However, a lack of prior experience with digital technologies among some students posed challenges during the learning process, and technical infrastructure and internet connectivity issues limited the efficiency of implementation. Additionally, behavioral tendencies toward digital addiction is observed in some students following the intensive use of digital tools, raising concerns about potential future dependency. These findings highlight the need for mindful and balanced use of digital tools, alongside their pedagogical benefits.
