The developments in technology offer a variety of technological products
which make daily life easier. Today Internet enables people to reach and share
information in any field. However, it brings about some side effects/drawbacks as
well. These are mainly due to inappropriate handling with technology. This is
especially valid in the case of internet usage. Studies indicate that there is a
possibility that students become addicted to computer and internet. They also
show that such over usage of computer and/or Internet affects students’ social
relationships and academic achievements in a negative way.
The present study aims to find out Internet usage of the prospective
computer teachers and thereby to define the concept of “internet addiction”
according to the components and symptoms occur in student teachers’ written
feedbacks. The research was carried out with 57 student teachers of Computer
and Instructional Technologies Department at Marmara University. They were
asked to reflect on questions concerning the usage of Internet. Then their written
responses were examined and categoriesed.
Findings indicated that 95% of the student teachers have their own
personal computers, of which 44% have ADSL connections for Internet. Findings
also showed that 29 of the student teachers (50%) complained about the time
they wasted on unnecessary things while surfing in the Internet. Some of these
prospective teachers pointed out that in some cases Internet limits their time
needs to be allocated for their other responsibilities such as studying, doing
homework or working on their projects.
