Examination of Teachers’ Educational Information Network (EBA) Awareness In Terms of Some Variables

Abstract

Purpose: In Turkey, in order to ensure equal opportunities in education and to ensure the integration of technology into education, the Action to Increase Opportunities and Improve Technology Project (FATIH) is carried out by the Ministry of National Education (MEB). One of the five basic pillars of this project is an online social education platform “The Educational Informatics Network (EBA) which is presented free to students, teachers and parents and provides access to tens of thousands of educational contents. Although there are many opportunities and benefits that EBA provides to all its stakeholders, it is not known whether teachers who are the planners and practitioners of the teaching process are aware of what they can do with this platform. With this research, it is aimed to reveal the EBA awareness of the teachers working in MEB schools and to examine these awareness in terms of many variables such as the province they work, branch, school type, the professional experience, the education level, the situation of receiving EBA education or not.
