Bu çalışma, Doğu Kudüs öğretmenlerinin E-Öğrenimi benimsemesini etkileyen değişkenlerin ayrıntılarına bakmayı amaçlamaktadır. E-Öğrenmenin önemine ilişkin öğretmenler üzerindeki etkilerini bulmak için cinsiyet, deneyim, nitelik, yaş,eğitim aşaması, okul türü, müfredat, öğrencilerin cinsiyeti ve öğretim konusu gibi değişkenler E-Öğrenimi kabul etme ve öğretmenlerin zorluklar hakkındaki görüşleri incelenerek analiz edilmiştir. Ayrıca, teknoloji kabul eden en ünlü modellerden biri olan UATUA’ya baktık ve seçilen değişkenlerin UATUA unsurları (Performans Beklentisi, Çaba Beklentisi, Sosyal Etki ve Kolaylaştırıcı Koşullar) üzerindeki etkisini ele aldık. Doğu Kudüs'te eğitim veren yaklaşık 680 öğretmene ulaşıldı ve 337'sinin cevapladığı bir anket dağıttık. Anket daha sonra IBM SPSS® yazılımı kullanılarak istatistiksel olarak analiz edildi. Ayrıca anketimizde, Doğu Kudüs'te öğretmenlerin E-Öğrenim için benimsedikleri ana çözümlerin neler olduğunu bulmayı amaçladık. Ek olarak, COVID-19 nedeniyle okulların kapanması sırasında E-Öğrenim deneyimi hakkındaki düşünceleri öğrenmek istedik. Çalışmamızın bulgularına dayanarak, konu öğretiminin ele alınan öğelerin çoğunu etkilediği ve öğretmenlerin E-Öğrenimi kabul etme iradesinde anahtar bir faktör olduğu, ayrıca müfredat türünün de E-Öğrenimi kabul etmede bir faktör olduğu sonucuna vardık Bagrut müfredatını öğreten öğretmenlerin, diğerlerinden daha fazla E-Öğrenime adapte odluğu tespit edttik. Ek olarak, öğretmenlerin genel olarak E-Öğrenime karşı olumlu bir görüşe sahip olduğunu bulduk, ancak çoğu öğretmenin çözmeyi istediği internet erişimi eksikliği ve yetersiz öğretmen eğitimi gibi ortak zorlukların varlığı da tespit ettik.

UNDERSTANDING THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE ADOPTION OF E- LEARNING BY TEACHERS FROM EAST JERUSALEM SCHOOLS

Öz

This study aimed to look into details in the variables affecting East Jerusalem teachers adopting of E-Learning. Variables such as gender, experience, qualification, age, education stage, school type, curriculum, students’ gender, and teaching topic have been analyzed to find their effects on the teachers’ view over the importance of E-Learning, on the teachers’ view about accepting E-Learning and on teachers’ view over the difficulties. We also looked at one of the most famous technology accepting models the UATUA model and addressed the effect of the selected variables on UATUA elements (Performance Expectancy, Efforts Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions). To address the above we designed and distributed a suitable questionnaire that approximately reached 680 teachers teaching in East Jerusalem, where 337 of them answered, the questionnaire was then statistically analyzed using IBM SPSS® software. Also, in our questionnaire, we aimed to find out what are the main solutions that teachers adopt for E-Learning in East Jerusalem. In addition, what are their thoughts about the experience of E-Learning during the closure of schools due to COVID-19? Based on the findings of our study, we concluded that teaching topic effects most of the addressed items and is a key factor in teachers’ will to accept E-Learning, also curriculum type is a factor in accepting E-Learning, we found that teachers who teach Bagrut curriculum are more into E-Learning than others. In addition, we found that teachers, in general, have positive view toward E-Learning but there are common challenges that most of the teachers ask to solve such as the lack of internet access and poor teachers training and qualification workshops
