Matematik öğretmenlerinin yüz yüze ve uzaktan eğitimde matematik ders kitabı kullanma sıklığının karşılaştırılması

Öz

Öğrenme-öğretme sürecinin en önemli materyallerinden biri olan ders kitaplarının kullanımına etki eden değişkenleri anlamak, nitelikli ve tercih edilebilir kaynakların geliştirilebilmesi için önemlidir. Bu araştırmada, yüz yüze ve uzaktan eğitim sürecindeki ders kitabı kullanım sıklığı, öğretmenlerin mesleki deneyimleri ve görev yaptıkları okulların bulunduğu bölgedeki sosyo-ekonomik düzeylere göre sınanmıştır. Tarama deseni ile yürütülen çalışmanın katılımcılarını 287 ortaokul matematik öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Sınıf kademesi, mesleki deneyim ve yerleşim bölgesi dikkate alınarak oluşturulan örneklemden çevrimiçi anket yoluyla toplanan veriler, betimsel ve kestirimsel istatistik teknikleri ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçları, sınıf kademesi arttıkça ders kitabı kullanım oranının azaldığını ve bu azalışın hem yüz yüze hem de uzaktan eğitim sınıflarında gerçekleştiğini göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, mesleki deneyime göre ders kitabı kullanım sıklığının hem yüz yüze hem de uzaktan öğretim sürecinde değiştiği ve bu değişimin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Yüz yüze eğitimde yerleşim bölgesinin ders kitabı kullanım sıklığı açısından belirleyici bir faktör olduğu, uzaktan eğitim sürecinde ise ders kitabı kullanım sıklığının yerleşim bölgesine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde farklı olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Diğer bulgular öğretici deneyimi ve tutumları çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır.

Comparison of the frequency of mathematics teachers’ use of mathematics textbooks in face-to-face and distance education

Abstract

Understanding the variables that affect the use of textbooks are important for the development of eligible and preferable resources. In this research, the frequency of textbook usage in face-to-face and distance education was examined according to grade level, professional experience of teachers, and residential area of the schools in which teachers work. The sample of the study consists of 287 middle school mathematics teachers working in different state schools. Data was obtained through an online survey. This study showed that the frequency of textbook usage decreased as the grade level increased, and this decrease occurred both in face-to-face and distance education. However, it has been concluded that the frequency of textbook usage varies in both learning environments according to teaching experience, and that change is statistically significant. In face-to-face classrooms, it was determined that the location of the school was a determining factor in terms of the frequency of textbook usage, whereas, in distance education, the frequency of textbook usage did not statistically significantly differ according to school location. The rest of the findings are discussed in terms of teachers’ experiences and attitudes.
