The Evaluation of The Effect of Technology on Lectures With Teachers’ Opinions

Abstract

This study aims to understand the effect of technological content developed in education on classroom teachers’ lecture performance in the context of teacher opinions. In this study, which was designed according to the qualitative research method, the interview technique was used as a data collection tool. After the expert opinions and the pilot application, ten questions were included in the interview form. The study group consists of 20 volunteer teachers. The participants are from different schools and work in schools with and without technological infrastructure. Content analysis was performed in the analysis of the data. For the analysis’s reliability, the encoder’s reliability was checked. As a result of the study, it was seen that the majority of the teachers were willing to use technology, and most of them actively used it, but they did not have sufficient technological literacy. Teachers stated that they were aware of the technology-related goals of the program. Technology provides convenience in the teaching process for teachers. Technology is more effective on listening skills and visuality in the primary school teaching process and creates a more enjoyable lesson environment for students. Although the teachers said that technology is exciting and useful, on the other hand, they also stated the risk of causing addiction. A higher quality education system can be achieved if the teachers are adequately trained in terms of technology and the infrastructure of the schools is equipped with internet and technological equipment.
