Öğretmen Görüşüne Göre İlköğretim Yabancı Dil Olarak Türkçe Dersinde Öğrencilerin İsteklendirilmesinde Öğretmenlerin Oyun Tercihi

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the importance of games, which are effective in providing student motivation within the scope of game-based learning in Turkish lessons. Games enable students to participate more actively in the lesson and make learning more fun. Games also have a positive effect on students' socialization and self-confidence. It is known that teachers often apply games that are effective in encouraging students. Teachers who teach Turkish as a foreign language at primary education level outside of Turkey, do instructive activities to increase students' motivation to the lesson through gamification for primary school students at A1-A2 basic level. In this context, in order to determine the game preferences of the teachers in the lessons, the opinions of 37 teachers about the subject were asked by the researcher as a question, through online and face-to-face interviews, one of the qualitative data collection methods, and the data were collected by recording their answers. The obtained data were interpreted after being analyzed as content and descriptive. According to the findings of the research, word generation, word card games, garden games, puppet-miniature games, balloon-ball games, puzzle games, word-of-mouth games and memory games were determined as the most preferred games in providing motivation for teachers. Keywords: Teacher's view, foreign language, primary school Turkish lesson, game preference, motivation.
