Examination of the Activities in the 5th Grade Turkish Textbook in Terms of Digital Competence

Öz

In this study, the activities in 5th grade Turkish textbook were examined in terms of digital competence. The case study design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the research. In this context, an attempt was made to reveal the adequacy of the activities in the textbook in terms of digital competence. For this purpose, a list of criteria was created by the researcher. The data was obtained through document analysis using the criteria list from the activities in this textbook. Descriptive analysis technique was used to interpret the data. As a result of the findings obtained from the analysis of the data, it was determined that examined only 12 of the 329 activities and 41 of the 128 preparatory studies were capable of measuring digital competence. Although thirty-two percent of the preparatory studies fill the gap of activities in terms of directing students to internet resources, it has been determined that they mostly measure the "access to information" item, while other items are measured very little or not at all. Since access to information alone will not be sufficient to gain digital competence, it has been concluded that the activities in this textbook are not sufficient in terms of digital competence
