The pedagogical use of Twitter in the university classroom

Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği Öğrencilerinin Sosyal Medya Algılarının Metafor Yoluyla Belirlenmesi

“…In this study which aimed to find out the social media perceptions of Social Studies preservice teachers, 37.7% of the participants stated that social media was a guiding source which enabled them to reach information, which was in parallel with the studies conducted (Honeycutt ve Herring 2009;Hazar, 2011;Manzo, 2009;McCool, 2011;Bruce, 1999). However, while the majority of students viewed social media as a tool to reach information, they also emphasized that it caused unnecessary mass of information.…”

“…Sosyal medyanın insanlar tarafından nasıl algılandığını belirlemek amacıyla da birçok araştırma yapılmıştır. Yapılan pek çok çalışmada genelde sosyal medyanın bilgiye ulaştıran, yol gösteren ve işbirliğine dayalı öğrenmeyi destekleyen bir uygulama olduğu vurgulanmıştır (Bruce, 1999;Hazar, 2011;Honeycutt ve Herring 2009;Manzo, 2009;McCool, 2011). Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği öğrencilerinin sosyal medya algılarını ortaya çıkarmak amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada da katılımcıların %37,70'i yapılan çalışmalarla aynı doğrultuda sosyal medyayı yol gösterici ve bilgiye ulaştırıcı bir kaynak olarak ifade etmişlerdir.…”

According to the author, discussions should not focus on the use of technology or when they should be used, but in type of technology that should be used in the classroom.…”

The Unknown Unknowns

“…In several studies blended courses have produced higher success rates than either face to face or fully online courses. Teaching in this modality requires a special talent by being able to optimize the learning potential of classroom with electronic learning (C. D. Dziuban et al, 2015;Stein & Graham, 2014) In addition to these three basic modalities, many new approaches to formulating a classes are appearing in higher education: lecture capture (Euzent, Martin, Moskal, & Moskal, 2011), virtual environment such as second life (de Noyelles, Hornik, & Johnson, 2014), massive open online courses (MOOCS) (Bonk, Lee, Reeves, & Reynolds, 2015), social networks and twitter (Levinson, 2010;McCool, 2011) and many others. As you progress through your graduate programs varying course modalities will become increasingly important.…”
