Interest, as a motivational component in understanding the learning dispositions, has substantial importance in learning of individuals. Therefore, it is necessary to address how interest is formed and developed, its relation to the learning of students, and the mediators of such a relation to better organize learning activities in educational settings. In this study, the concept of interest, phases of interest formation and the main factors effecting the interest development were discussed with respect to the related literature. Also the educational programme of 43 Computer Education and Instructional Technology departments in Turkey were thoroughly examined and main areas of interests offered to the students of these departments were identified. Considering the employment opportunities for Computer Education and Instructional Technology programme graduates in Turkey, further discussions were made about how to improve the interests of students in several areas to provide them better employment opportunities.

Öz

İlgi, bireylerin öğrenme ve öğrenmeye ilişkin eğilimlerini anlama ve yönlendirmede büyük öneme sahip bir motivasyon türü olarak görülmektedir. Bu bakımdan ilginin nasıl oluştuğu, bireylerin öğrenmeleri ve ilgileri arasındaki ilişkiyi etkileyen değişkenlerin neler olduğu dikkate değer bir araştırma alanı olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ilgi kavramı ve ilginin ne şekilde oluştuğu, geliştiği ve bu gelişime etki eden faktörlerin neler olduğu alanyazın taramasından elde edilen bilgiler ışığında ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiştir. Ayrıca çalışmada ülke genelinde lisans düzeyinde örgün eğitim vermekte olan 43 Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi bölümünün öğretim programı incelenmiş ve öğrencilere ne tür ilgi alanlarının sunulduğu ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada tespit edilen ilgi alanları ve bu ilgi alanlarının geliştirilmesine ilişkin öğrencilere sunulan olanaklar tartışılmış, öğrencilerin gelecekte iş fırsatları da göz önünde bulunularak lisans eğitimleri süresince belli alanlara ilişkin ilgillerinin geliştirilmesi sürecinde yapılması gerekenler tartışılmıştır.
