Evaluation of Pre-service Teachers' Attitudes and Opinions on Writing in Digital Environment

Abstract

Digital writing has become an important part of the daily life of not only the new generation, but also individuals of all ages. Digital writing, which has become a great need for the new generation, is a special issue that concerns pre-service teacher candidates and even takes place in their lives. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards writing in the digital environment in terms of different variables and to determine their views. Mixed method was used in the study. The research was carried out in a university in the Aegean Region in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year (n= 264). The participants consisted of pre-service teachers studying in preschool education teaching (n=161) and classroom education undergraduate programs (n=103). In order to obtain qualitative data, interviews were conducted with 12 volunteering students. The Attitude Scale Towards Writing in Digital Environment (DOYAT), developed by Susar Kırmızı, Kapıkıran, and Akkaya (2021), was used to obtain quantitative data. The "open-ended question questionnaire" developed by the researchers was used to obtain qualitative data. Quantitative data obtained were subjected to t-test and analysis of variance using statistical package program. Content analysis was used for the data obtained with the open-ended question form. The attitudes of pre-service teachers participating in the research towards digital writing did not show a significant difference according to gender, class level, and having their own computer. However, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference according to the time allocated to digital writing. The pre-service teachers who participated in the research stated that they prefer digital writing because it is useful and economical. However, they also stated that writing in digital environment for a long time causes physical health problems.
