Matematik Öğretmenlerinin Derslerinde Etkileşimli Tahta Kullanımına İlişkin Görüşleri: Artvin İli Örneği

Abstract

The goal of this research is to determine the opinions of teachers about the use of interactive whiteboard. In the study, phenomenology design, a part of qualitative research approach, was used; individual interviews were held with a total of 14 mathematics teachers who were working in secondary schools in Artvin city center. In the interviews, teachers were required to state the effects of above mentioned technology on education process in terms of teacher and students, to explain how they benefit from interactive board technology in their classes, and to mention the problems that they face while using this technology. The obtained data was analyzed qualitatively. As a result of the data analysis, it was determined that teachers benefit from interactive boards in mathematics class for visualization and concretizing concepts. In addition to this, it was seen that they used it as a projector in order to solve more problems and solve them faster. On the other hand, teachers, who were determined to have some negative thoughts, stated that they had problems because of the inability to use such devices and some technical problems, resulting from insufficient infrastructure.
