The advent of new media necessitates the integration of new media into education. Thus, it is a requisite for teachers to have New Media Literacy (NML). The present study aims to investigate preservice teachers’ NML level by adapting a current comprehensive NML survey, which includes ten scales, to Turkish language. The data were collected from 972 preservice teachers enrolled in 11 teacher training programs in five public universities in Turkey. The construct validity, internal consistency, item consistency, and item discrimination were provided for the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scales within the survey. The results indicated that preservice teachers had the highest level of NML in Functional Consuming Skills and the lowest level of NML in Critical Prosuming Participation. It was also revealed that pre-service teachers’ level of NML changed depending on the type of program they were enrolled in while most of them were found to be approximate to each other.

An interdisciplinary approach in understanding internet as a practice : a case study of internet cafes in a small town Uzuner, Demet; Tarhan, Belkız; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2005) This study aims at understanding how Internet being a particular technology, integrates into daily practices in a small town. By doing this, it follows a theoretically informed ethnography based research concluding that the relationship between technology and society cannot be grasped by analysing both as separate entities. Hence, it attempts to develop a theoretical and methodological framework that is constantly aware of problems raised by dualistic assumptions analysing technology-society or human-nonhum...
An investigation of the effectiveness of the theme-based curriculum in the 2003-2004 academic year at the department of basic English at Middle East Technical University Topçu, Tansu; Daloğlu, Ayşegül; Department of English Language Teaching (2005) This study examines the implementation of the theme-based curriculum in the 2003-2004 academic year to meet the goals and objectives of DBE students at METU. The research design of the study includes questionnaires and focus group interviews with former DBE students and DBE teachers. At the first stage, 231 students and 60 teachers took the questionnaire. Then, 19 students (in groups) and teachers (individually) were interviewed. The results indicated that there was a big difference between the perceptions ...
The effects of computer aided concept teaching with direct instruction model on concept acquisition of students with intellectual disabilities Tufan, Mehtap; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Altunay Arslantekin, Banu; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2018) The education system is continually developing through the integration of technology into education and the development of new instructional models. Both the instructional models which require technology usage and the presentation of evidence-based models with technology are tested for their effectiveness in the education of students with normal development, as well as for students with intellectual disabilities. Direct Instructional Model is one of the evidence-based instructional methods which is used for...
A comprehensive investigation of TPACK within pre-service teachers’ ICT profiles: Mind the gap! Tondeur, Jo; Scherer, Ronny; Siddiq, Fazilat; Baran, Evrim (Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education, 2017-7-24) This study aims to identify profiles of pre-service teachers in order to explore their readiness to integrate technology in education. The assumption is that pre-service teacher characteristics such as technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK), go together with the influence of their teacher training. Specifically, this study examines whether pre-service teachers can be clustered on the basis of their TPACK, a typical set of ICT-related characteristics (e.g., general ICT attitudes, attitudes towar...
The importance of attitudes toward technology for pre-service teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge: Comparing structural equation modeling approaches Scherer, Ronny; Tondeur, Jo; Siddiq, Fazilat; Baran, Evrim (2018-03-01) A large body of literature suggests that attitudes toward technology and its educational use are important determinants of technology acceptance and integration in classrooms. At the same time, teachers' Technological, Pedagogical, and Content Knowledge (TPACK) facilitates the meaningful use of technology for educational purposes. Overall, attitudes toward technology and TPACK play a critical role for technology integration and have been in the focus of many empirical studies. Albeit the attention that has ...
