This study aims to investigate the existing usage of the Smart Classrooms Technologies (SCT) by teachers in the schools in Turkey, the problems they encountered, the solutions for these problems, and needs about the usage of SCT, as well as how the organization (YEGİTEK) conduct the integration process of the SCT within the scope of FATİH Project. The qualitative multiple-case study methodology was performed. Two pilot schools of the FATİH Project were separately analyzed as cases of the study and data were collected via observations, interviews and document analysis. Additional data were also gathered from the administration department of FATİH Project in YEGİTEK. The collected data were analyzed with content analysis method. According to findings of the study, the smart boards in the first case school and the PTIWB in the second case school were mostly used as projectors. The problems encountered while using the SCT were technical problems, lack of knowledge and skills, and inadequate e-contents for SCT. Some of these problems were solved by computer teacher, teachers’ themselves, students, private publishers, and technical services. In addition, the needs for using SCT effectively and efficiently could be listed as sufficient in-service trainings, more suitable e-contents, and accessible support. The analysis regarding integration process of the SCT in the schools revealed that the perceptions of teachers and school administrators were not investigated before the installation of the SCT in the schools. In addition, the project administrators did not informed the teachers and school administrators about the integration process of SCT.

Exploring the use of open educational resources in chemistry laboratory course context: a case study Tısoğlu, Seçil; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Kurşun, Engin; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2017) The first purpose of this study is to provide a detailed perspective for the use and integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into chemistry laboratory courses through the students’, faculty members’ and teaching assistants’ perspective. Specifically, the factors affected the use and integration of OERs into general laboratory course context through systemic perspective was explained in detailed. The second purpose of this study is to present the impact of these resources on users’ perceived performa...
Supporting students’ scientific argumentation in technology-enhanced learning environments : distribution of scaffolds Üstünel, Hale Havva; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2013) Over the twenty years, researchers and practitioners have developed technology tools and designed technology-enhanced learning environments to support and teach argumentation. Relevantly, Kim et al. (2007) presented a pedagogical framework to provide a valid technology-enhanced learning environment. The purpose of this design-based study was to investigate micro context dimension of this framework and to analyze the interactions between student-tool, teacher-student, and teacher-tool. In this respect, in or...
Status of Ict in Schools of Teacher Education: Deans' Views Goktas, Yuksel; Yıldırım, Zahide; Yildirim, Soner (2008-07-01) This study presents the survey findings about the status of information and communication technologies (ICT) in schools of teacher education (SsTE) in regard to ICT resources and methods of their usage, planning and in-service training, sufficiency level of physical and human resources, and main barriers and enablers of ICT integration. The data were collected from 51 of the 63 deans of SsTE in Turkey through a questionnaire. The findings indicated that despite the differences among SsTE, the resources Eire...
Internal and external alignment of the material adaptation and development education given by an EFL teacher education program in Turkey / Tekir, Serpil; Akar, Hanife; Department of Educational Sciences (2016) The aim of the study was two-fold: first, to investigate to what extent the instructional materials education given by an EFL Teacher Education program at a state university in central Turkey is aligned to the explicit policies and standards set at macro level; second, to analyse the internal alignment among the written, taught, learned and tested curricula of the teacher education program with respect to the instructional materials education being given. With these purposes, the study adopted a multi-phase...
Investigation of attitudes of middle grade students towards use of technology in mathematics lessons Aytekin, Emine; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2015) The initial aim of the study is to develop a valid and reliable scale in order to measure attitudes of middle school students towards the use of technology in mathematics lessons and then, to examine elementary students’ attitudes towards the use of technology in mathematics lesson. Moreover, the current study is sought to explore whether these attitudes of elementary students towards the use of technology in mathematics lesson differs by gender and grade level, respectively. Data was collected in the sprin...
