Öğretmenlerin Harmanlanmış Programlama Öğrenme Topluluğunun İncelenmesi

Öz

Teknolojinin gelişmesiyle birlikte programlama öğrenmek hayatımızın her alanında giderek daha önemli hale gelmiştir. Her öğretmenin derslerinde kullanabilmesi için programlama öğrenmesi gerekmektedir. Bu nedenle öğretmenlerden oluşan bir araştırma topluluğu kurulmuş ve öğretmenlerin harmanlanmış öğrenme ortamlarını kullanarak programlama öğrenmeleri sağlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma modellerinden biri olan durum çalışması deseni tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma grubu 18 öğretmenden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri görüşme formu, yansıtıcı raporlar, ders video kayıtları, anlık mesajlaşma ve forum mesajlaşma kayıtları aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler nitel veri analiz yöntemlerinden biri olan içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Veri analizi sonucunda problemi tanımlama, bilgi alışverişinde bulunma, çözüm üretme ve uygulama yapma gibi bilişsel bulunuşluğun göstergeleri belirlenmiştir. Öğretmenlerin kendini açma davranışları ve grupla sürekli tartışma ve hitap etmelerinin sosyal bulunuşluğun önde gelen göstergeleri olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Ortamı etkili bir şekilde kullanma, tartışmayı kolaylaştırma, değerlendirme ve açıklayıcı geri bildirim yoluyla öğrenmeyi pekiştirme gibi öğretimsel bulunuşluk kategorileriyle ilgili göstergeler belirlenmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında ortaya konulan göstergeler ilgili alanyazına dayalı olarak tartışılmış, programlama eğitimi, karma öğrenme ve araştırma topluluğu için önerilerde bulunulmuştur. Bu çalışma kapsamında ortaya konulan sosyal, bilişsel ve öğretimsel bulunuşluk göstergelerinin, programlama eğitimi üzerine yapılacak gelecekteki araştırmalara rehberlik edeceği ve harmanlanmış öğrenme ortamlarında araştırma topluluğuna dayalı teorik ve uygulamalı çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Investigation of the Blended Programming Learning Community of Teachers

Öz

With the development of technologies, learning programming has become increasingly critical in every aspect of our lives. Every teacher needs to learn programming to use it in their lessons. For this reason, researchers established a community of inquiry consisting of teachers, and teachers were enabled to learn programming using blended learning environments. A qualitative case study design was adopted in this research. The study group consisted of 18 teachers. Data was collected through multiple sources, including interview forms, reflective reports, lecture video recordings, instant messaging exchanges, and forum discussion records. The collected data were analyzed using content analysis, a widely employed method in qualitative research. Results revealed that indicators of cognitive presence, including defining the problem, exchanging information, creating solutions, and making applications, were identified. It was concluded that teachers' self-disclosure behaviors and their continued discussion and addressing of the group are the leading indicators of social presence. Indicators related to the categories of teaching presence, such as utilizing the environment effectively, facilitating discussion, and consolidating learning through evaluation and explanatory feedback, have been identified. The indicators revealed within the scope of the research were discussed based on the literature, and suggestions were made for programming education, blended learning, and the community of inquiry. The social, cognitive, and teaching presence indicators revealed within the scope of this study will guide future research on programming education and contribute to theoretical and applied studies based on the community of inquiry in blended learning environments.
