{"title":"Self-Efficacy Perception of Education Faculty Members on Technology Integration","authors":"Cansu ŞAHİN KÖLEMEN","doi":"10.31458/iejes.1258553","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31458/iejes.1258553","url":null,"abstract":"The changing needs of the student in present contemporary times do require the progress and development of the teacher competencies. Should the competencies of the teacher not develop; certain problems will be faced such as not being able to meet the needs of the society as well as not reaching the intended student-learner quality. Therefore, teachers need to have the competence to use today's information and communication technologies effectively and efficiently. From this point of view, the aim of this study is to reveal the technology integration self-efficacy perceptions of the Education Faculty members. The study universe of the research consists of 207 instructors teaching at the faculty of education in 2022-2023. Within the scope of the research, the general survey model, applicable as one of the quantitative research methods, has been used. The Technology Integration Self-Efficacy Perception scale, which had been adapted into Turkish by Ünal and Teker (2018), has also been used as the data collection tool. The data obtained in the study then have been analyzed with the SPSS 21.0 program. While determining the effects of gender, age and department variables on technology integration self-efficacy perception, independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test have been applied. As a result of the study, it is determined that the technology integration self-efficacy perceptions of the instructors working in the Education Faculty have been understood to be high. A significant difference has been spotted in technology integration self-efficacy perception levels among the gender, age and department variables. Accordingly, thus, the study has shown that the male instructors had had a higher technology integration self-efficacy compared to the female instructors. It has also been observed that the self-efficacy perceptions of the 65 years and older faculty members were lower. Finally, it has been determined that the teaching staff of the the Computer and Instructional Technology Teaching Department had higher technology self-efficacy perceptions compared to other departments.","PeriodicalId":187210,"journal":{"name":"International e-Journal of Educational Studies","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129917276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study, which was carried out in October 2022 with 16 preschool teachers determined by the purposeful sampling method, was carried out face to face with a semi-structured interview form. Content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data obtained from the interviews. According to the findings: teachers conducted teaching mostly online during the epidemic and said that the effect was negative. The situations that they do not find ethical are the unequal teaching opportunities on the Internet and the inability to provide classroom management, and mostly family members get involved in online course activities. Children and families were warned about some issues and an attempt was made. Ethical dilemmas are mostly due to the difficulty of children in adapting to online education and the inability to communicate with families, and mostly the inefficiency of online preschool education. Administratively, mostly ethical problems are the lack of technological equality and the inability to be sensitive in epidemic measures. The views that the management does not act unethically are also in the majority. Finally, the teachers wished never to experience such a process again and thanked them for the study. It has been suggested to plan educational measures to overcome extraordinary situations such as epidemics with less damage.","PeriodicalId":187210,"journal":{"name":"International e-Journal of Educational Studies","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128977608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. The sample consisted of 73 female and 134 male (Age Mean: 22.19±3.307) students studying at the faculty of sports sciences. The “Socially Responsible Leadership Scale-SRL” developed by Tyree (1998) and adapted to Turkish by Külekçi and Özgan (2015) was used as a measurement tool. Descriptive statistics, t-test, and ANOVA were used in the analysis. It was found that students' SRL perception was high. While the variables of gender, grade level, and taking social service course showed statistically significant differences, no statistically significant differences were found between other variables and sub-factors. It has been determined that as the age and grade level increase and the status of doing sports is positive, students' perception of socially responsible leadership also increases. The results obtained in this research reveal the importance of education and sports. The fact that the courses given on socially responsible awareness in universities, the number of projects, and the positive situation of individuals doing sports make us think that university students are also effective in increasing their perception of socially responsible leadership, and it is expected that the research will contribute to socially responsible leadership studies in the field of sports sciences.","PeriodicalId":187210,"journal":{"name":"International e-Journal of Educational Studies","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126303642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employed the survey method, a quantitative non-experimental research technique. The students, who were in second, third, and fourth grades, successfully finished the two-period first-year information technology obligatory courses. The study's findings demonstrated that pre-service teachers were quite confident in their ability to use the web and understand its general, communication, content, pedagogical, and attitudinal elements. The findings also revealed that there were no statistically significant variations in the responses with respect to gender across all of the sub-scales. Moreover, the findings demonstrated that there were no appreciable variations in any of the sub-scales of the W-PACK regarding departments. With the exception of attitude toward web-based education, there were no statistically significant variations between participant grades in the five dimensions or the perceived self-efficacy degrees of prospective teachers across all the sub-dimensions. The results of this study, however, revealed that attitudes toward web-based instruction varied considerably across the junior and senior groups.

The data source of this general survey model research consists of a total of 34 books that have received awards from various institutions and organizations in the field of children’s and youth literature. In the content analysis, the main category of group antagonism was divided into three subcategories: stereotype, prejudice and discrimination, which were further divided into sub-categories based on emotional aspect, style, context, and content and analyzed in cross-tables. The findings showed that most messages were in the prejudice category. In addition, it was determined that the messages that foster group antagonism were mostly related to the affective dimension and were conveyed in a blatant style and often without malicious intent.
