Öz

Bu
araştırmanın amacı okuma yazma eğitiminde bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin
kullanımına ilişkin sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının algılarını keşfetmektir.
Araştırmaya iki düzeyli yeni okuryazarlık kuramı rehberlik etmiştir. Nitel
araştırma desenlerinden olgubilim deseni ile yürütülen bu çalışmada 21 sınıf
öğretmeni adayı ile dijital okuma yazma uygulamaları gerçekleştirilmiş ve
uygulama sonunda öğretmen adaylarının görüşleri açık uçlu sorular aracılığıyla yazılı
olarak alınmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen bulgular öğretmen adaylarının algılarına
göre bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin, okuryazarlığın doğası ve öğretimi
konusunda bazı değişimlere yol açtığını göstermiştir. Öğretmen adayları çevrim
içi bağlamlarda metin okuma süreçlerinin okur metin etkileşimlerini
artırdığını, çok sayıda kaynak üzerinde çalışabilme imkânı tanıdığını ve çok
biçimli olduğunu vurgulamışlardır. Dahası öğretmen adayları çevrim içi içerik
oluşturma ve yazmanın çevrim içi araştırma, işbirliği ve etkileşimi artırma,
yaratıcılığı geliştirme ve hedef kitleyi genişletme gibi özelliklere sahip
olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Son olarak öğretmen adayları okuma yazma eğitiminde
teknoloji entegrasyonuna yönelik bazı engellerden bahsetmişlerdir.
