Mesleki Gelişim Aracı Olarak Facebook Grupları: Okul Kütüphanecilerinin Bakışı

Öz

Facebook, kullanıcılarına belirli bir konu alanında ya da ilgi alanları doğrultusunda grup oluşturma, tamamen kendi inisiyatiflerine bağlı olarak herhangi bir gruba katılma ve grup içinde bilgi paylaşımı olanağı sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, okul kütüphanecilerinin sosyal ağlara, özellikle Facebook gruplarına katılımı; Facebook’un okul kütüphanecilerinin mesleki gelişimine katkısı ve okul kütüphanecilerinin Facebook gruplarına mesleki gelişim bağlamında bakışı araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmada ayrıca Facebook grup gönderileri, okul kütüphaneciliği alanındaki mevcut ve gelecekteki mesleki gelişim trendlerini ortaya koymak amacıyla analiz edilmiştir. Seçilen Facebook gruplarına ve okul kütüphanecilerinden oluşan iki tartışma listesine çevrimiçi bir anket gönderilmiştir. Anketi 404 kişi yanıtlamıştır. Araştırma bulguları, okul kütüphanecilerinin Facebook grupları kanalıyla birbirleriyle bilgi alışverişi ve fikir paylaşımında bulunduklarını göstermiştir. Bulgular ayrıca, giderek daha fazla okul kütüphanecisinin gayri resmi bir şekilde mesleki gelişim aracı olarak Facebook gruplarını kullandığını veya en azından deneyimlediğini doğrulamıştır. Araştırma verileri, okul kütüphanecilerinin %78,4’ünün eğitim/öğretim kaynaklarına teaching resources ve %63,8’inin teknolojiyi kullanımına ilişkin gönderilere ilgi duyduklarını göstermiştir. Okul kütüphanecilerinin gelecekteki en önemli mesleki öğrenme hedefleri arasında, araştırma becerileri %67,9 , yaratım atölyeleri %57 ve sınıf öğretmenleriyle iş birliği %51,6 konuları bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, birçok okul kütüphanecisinin Facebook gruplarını kullandığını ve %38,4’ünün bu grupları mesleki gelişim için “çok yararlı bir araç” olarak gördüğünü ampirik kanıtlarla ortaya koymaktadır. Facebook gruplarındaki tartışmalar, kütüphanecilerin mesleki uygulamalarını ve aralarındaki iletişimi güçlendirmekte ve geliştirmektedir.
