Abstract

Bu araştırma, kimya öğretmeni adaylarının Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanma yeterliklerini ve bu araçlara ilişkin görüşlerini kimya öğretimi bağlamında araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Betimleyici araştırma tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Katılımcılar, Türkiye'de bir devlet üniversitesinin Kimya Eğitimi Bölümü'nde öğrenim gören 27 öğretmen adayıdır. Veriler Web 2.0 Araçları Kullanım Yeterliliği Ölçeği ve Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Sonuçlar, adayların Web 2.0 araçlarını kullanma konusunda orta düzeyde yetkin olduğunu göstermiştir. Adayların çoğu bu araçları bu çalışma çerçevesinde ilk kez deneyimlemişlerdir ve önceden herhangi bir uzmanlığa sahip değillerdir. Görüşme sonuçları, adayların kimya kavramlarının soyut anlamlarından dolayı anlaşılmasının zor olduğunu ve herhangi bir konunun bir karikatür veya animasyon şeklinde Web 2.0 araçları kullanılarak görselleştirildiğinde daha başarılı bir şekilde öğretilebileceğini düşündüklerini göstermiştir. Araştırma sonuçları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda, Web 2.0 teknolojileri konusunda çeşitli projeler, çalıştaylar ve hizmet içi eğitimler düzenlenerek öğretmenlerin ve öğretmen adaylarının bilgi ve yeterlilik kazanmaları önerilmiştir.

Web 2.0 Tools in Chemistry Teaching: An Analysis of Pre-Service Chemistry Teachers’ Competencies and Views

Abstract

This research aimed to explore the competencies of the pre-service chemistry teachers (PSCTs) to use Web 2.0 tools and their views on these tools in the context of chemistry teaching. A descriptive design was used. The participants were 27 PSCTs studying at the Department of Chemistry Education at a state university in Turkey. Data were collected through Web 2.0 Tools Usage Competence Scale and Structured Interview Form. The results demonstrated that the PSCTs were moderately competent in using Web 2.0 tools. The majority of them experienced these tools for the first time within the framework of this study and had no prior expertise. The interview results showed that the PSCTs thought that most chemistry subjects are difficult to comprehend due to their abstract sense, and that any subject can be taught more successfully using Web 2.0 tools to visualize it as a comics or animation. Considering the results, it was suggested that pre-service teachers and teachers could acquire knowledge and competencies in Web 2.0 technologies by organizing various projects, workshops and in-service trainings.
