What factors affect technology acceptance have been studied in a variety of contexts through different models. However, the affective dimension and the roles emotions play in technology acceptance or adoption studies were not studied thoroughly. Being a part of a larger study, this study aims to investigate what emotions pre-service teachers feel when they use or consider the use of Web 2.0 tools. The data were collected using Technology Affect Scale developed and validated by Perlusz (2004). The participants of this study are 211 pre- service teachers from Foreign Language Education and Early Childhood Education. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and the factor structure was validated through confirmatory factor analysis. The results showed that among the positive affect, pre-service teachers mostly felt enthusiastic (M=3.65), and among the negative affect, pre-service teachers mostly felt distressed (M=2.51). Furthermore, when the total scores of the positive (M=13.88) and negative affect (M= 10.03) were compared, the results of the paired-samples t test showed that pre-service significantly felt positive affect (p < .05).

Using technology in preventing and remedying seventh grade students' misconceptions in forming and solving linear equations Erek, Görkem; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Educational Sciences (2008) The purposes of this study was to investigate seventh-grade students’ misconceptions related to forming and solving equations and examine the role of technology use in preventing and remedying these misconceptions. A group of 18 seventh grade students was given a diagnostic test before they started the equations unit to determine their misconceptions related to the topic. Students studied equations for 6 weeks and half of the instruction took place in the computer lab where they used various electronic mani...
Investigation of effect of visual treatment on elementary school student’s spatial ability and attitude toward spatial ability problems Bayrak, Mahmut Emre; Bulut, Safure; Department of Educational Sciences (2008) The purposes of the study were to investigate the effects of visual treatment on students’ opinion in terms of thinking process and students’ opinion in terms of feelings in the spatial ability activities; to investigate the effects of visual treatment on student’s spatial ability, spatial visualization and spatial orientation The study was conducted in Ankara with 21 sixth-grade elementary school students. One group pretest-posttest design was used. Two measuring instruments were utilized: Spatial Ability ...
Identification of factors affecting integration of information and communication technologies in basic education schools grades from 4 through 8 Şendurur, Polat; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2012) The purpose of the study was to identify the factors affecting the information and communication technologies. integration in the basic education schools. Mixed Model Research Design was utilized to find out the factors directly affecting integration of ICT integration in schools of K-8. Three different research methods were use sequentially. In the first step, new curricula used for Math, Social Studies and Science and Technology courses were examined to draw the pattern of ICT use defined by these curricu...
Modelling between epistemological beliefs and constructivist learning environment Cetin-Dindar, Ayla; KIRBULUT, ZÜBEYDE DEMET; Boz, Yezdan (2014-11-01) The purpose of this study was to model the relationship between pre-service chemistry teachers' epistemological beliefs and their preference to use constructivist-learning environment in their future class. The sample was 125 pre-service chemistry teachers from five universities in Turkey. Two instruments were used in this study. One of the instruments was constructivist-learning environment scale developed by Taylor, Fraser and Fisher. The other instrument was Epistemological Questionnaire (EQ) developed b...
Analyses of factors affecting acceptance of homecare technologies by patients with chronic diseases Kutlay, Ayşegül; Mumcuoğlu, Ünal Erkan; Department of Medical Informatics (2012) In this study, the factors affecting the acceptance of mobile homecare system were examined. These factors were assessed by taking Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) as a theoretical model. The main feature of this thesis (differing from the other studies in the literature) is that the user acceptance study model is analyzed on a system that is not realized yet. So, this study has two dfferent perspectives. The first one is the examination the results of UTAUT for a system in the des...
