Sınıf İçi Etkileşim Uygulaması: Dinleyici Yanıt Sisteminin Kullanımı ve Değerlendirilmesi

Öz

Dinleyici Yanıt Sistemi (DY Sistemi) öğrenme ortamlarını daha etkili ve verimli hale getirmek için öğrencilerin kumanda benzeri keypadlar yardımıyla seçim yapmalarınaolanak tanıyan bir iletişim aracıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; DY Sisteminin kullanımını ve eğitim ortamına etkisini araştırmaktır.Bu amaçla 2007-2008 eğitim öğretim yılı güz döneminde bir DY Sistemi setinin kullanıldığı ve lisans öğrencilerinin katıldığı bir durum çalışması yapılmıştır.Toplam 16 saat süren farklı etkinlikler yapılarak DY Sisteminin kulanım çeşitliliği sağlanmıştır.Öğrenci görüşlerine ve düşüncelerine ilişkin veriler, nitel ve nicel yöntemlerle toplanıp analiz edilmiştir.Elde edilen bulgulara göre; DY Sisteminin sınıf içi eğitimde motivasyon-dikkat artışı, aktif katılım, sınıf içi etkin iletişim, anlık geri bildirim gibi avantajlarının olduğu söylenebilir.
