Examining secondary students' perceptions of the technology-based learning and teaching in science courses

Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine the perceptions of technology-based learning and teaching in the science courses of secondary school students. This research sample is made up of 396 students studying in the eighth grade of seven secondary schools in the center of Kars, Turkey. This research includes a case study design. As a data collection tool, an important technical drawing is used in the literature of science education to reveal the mental approaches of individuals against facts and events. Data are analysed through drawing analysis. This research reveals three key conclusions. First, it is understood that the perception of students in the eighth grade of secondary schools for the use of technology in existing science courses is largely composed of smart boards. Second, it is understood that the technological systems that students demand in science courses should be designed specifically in a way that they can use independently. Third, it has shown that smart boards among the technological systems are largely in the grip of science teachers, but students are not able to use these technological systems adequately in the courses.
 Keywords: Science courses, secondary school students, technology-based teaching, drawing analysis.

Effectiveness of Smart Technologies in Chemistry Teaching and Learning of Grade Eleventh Students in the Gambia

“…In most teaching and learning processes, Smartboards improve performance by accessing online resources or embedded learning tools such as YouTube links (Aldalalah, 2021;Tsayang et al, 2020). Aktas and Aydin (2016) and Inaltekin (2020) found more learning retention in students instructed through Smartboards than in conventional classrooms. The interactive features in Smartboard or SMART Notebook software encourage and motivate students to participate and solve problems.…”

Examining academicians’ COVID-19 anxiety and digitalisation in terms of different variables

“…Considering the field variable, the fact that some fields are more technology-based while others are more distant from technology may affect the academicians' anxiety and the use of technology during COVID-19. While more technological applications are dominant in science, this effect is not much in social fields (Inaltekin, 2020). The impact of COVID-19 can differ depending on academicians' departments (Ali, Kundra, Alam & Alam, 2021).…”

The Effects of Computer-Based Video Modelling on Teaching Problem-Solving Skills to Students with Intellectual Disabilities / Učinci računalnih videomodela u poučavanju učenika s intelektualnim teškoćama vještinama rješavanja matematičkih problema

“…Postoje istraživanja koja ukazuju na učinkovitu upotrebu tehnoloških uređaja u poučavanju učenika rješavanju problema (Inaltekin, 2020;Read, 2020). Štoviše, pregled literature naglašava da upotreba tehnoloških alata ima prednosti prilikom poučavanja djece s intelektualnim teškoćama rješavanju problema (Twyman i Tindal, 2006;Adebisi i sur., 2015).…”

“…There are studies pointing to effective use of technological tools in teaching students how to solve problems (Inaltekin, 2020;Read, 2020). Moreover, the literature review stresses that using technological tools is rewarding when teaching problem solving to students with intellectual disabilities (Twyman & Tindal, 2006;Adebisi et al, 2015).…”
