Determination of Science Student Teachers’ Views Related to Computer Supported Instruction
Abstract
The aim of the science and technology course is to ensure students to
learn by doing. Students getting this course in an early age raises some
problems like embody some abstract concepts, inability to observe some of the
highlights. Computers are the one of the educational tools used in solving
these problems in science teaching. Computers play an important role to
concretize abstract concepts at a level that students can understand, provision
of animations in mind, doing the experiments which is difficult to observe in
school environment, to repeat the experiments take time. Frequency of use of
technology, science teachers, is closely related to be aware of technology and
its benefits. How much knowledge they have acquired during his university years
when they become teachers they will be more likely to use it. Therefore, to
determine science student teachers knowledge and ideas on computer supported
teaching and use of computer in science teaching is expected to arrange
training to eliminate misunderstandings and negative thoughts on using them.
The aim of this study was to investigate science and technology student
teachers views about computer supported teaching and its contribution to
science and technology courses. The study was carried out with eighty two 3th
grade science student teachers from an education faculty. Data obtained from a
questionnaire composed of two open-ended questions was analyzed by using
content analysis. Student teacher views are coded and in order to reflect
prospective teachers’ opinions, direct quotations were used. It has seen that
prospective teachers defined computer supported materials as execution tool for
courses, providing for effective teaching that appeals to the senses,
supporting tool for teaching, a technique that facilitates education, a tool to
prevent loss of time, teaching material. Prospective teachers’ views about contribution
of computer to science and technology are to provide permanent learning,
presentation tool, a method used to ensure effective teaching, used to embody
abstract concepts, to increase students’ interest to courses, facilitates
learning, draw attention.
