“Plickers”, The Fun State of Assessment and Evaluation: The Experiences of Social Studies Pre-Service Teachers

Abstract

In the 21st century, which is called the "Digital Age", scientific developments have gained even more speed. Scientific developments, on the other hand, have accelerated technological developments. Thus, technology has begun to affect every aspect of social life. One of the affected areas is education. The first systematic technologicalization movement in the field of education in Turkey started in 2011 with the FATIH Project. Within the scope of the project, internet infrastructure was integrated into primary, secondary, and secondary education institutions and smart boards were integrated into classrooms. Along with these, the Education Information Network (EBA), which is an e-content platform, was also created. Thanks to this infrastructure, Turkey has been least affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is not enough just to have the infrastructure for distance education experienced for the first time. Accordingly, teachers tried to use web 2.0 tools to make their lessons interactive and more interesting in distance education. In this process, the Ministry of National Education has planned and implemented various in-service trainings to support teachers' use of technology. In the 2021-2022 academic year, distance education has ended in Turkey as well as the world, and face-to-face education has been started. However, for teachers, returning to face-to-face education should not mean completely moving away from technology. Therefore, effective use of various web 2.0 tools in face-to-face education is important for students to experience technology as a teaching tool. In this context, the research aims to reveal the thoughts of social studies teacher candidates about the Plickers application that they experienced with secondary school students. Document analysis was used in the research. In this context, reflective assignments in which 17 pre-service teachers shared their practical experiences in the product file they prepared in the Informatics Technologies in Social Studies course was used as a data source. The obtained data were analyzed by Corbin and Strauss's document analysis consisting of review, detailed examination, and interpretation steps. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the preparation and application processes of Plickers are easily experienced and the advantages of the application are more than the disadvantages.
