Abstract

Araştırmada, okuma yazma öğretimine yönelik geliştirilmiş mobil uygulamalar, eğitim uygulamalarının özellikleri, ilk okuma yazma öğretiminin aşamaları ve kullanıcı görüşleri açısından incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda okuma yazma öğretimine yönelik geliştirilen mobil uygulamalar nitel araştırmanın yapısına uygun olarak doküman-materyal incelemesi tekniği ile değerlendirilmiştir. Uygulama sağlayıcıların verileri dikkate alınarak 30 mobil uygulama araştırma materyali olarak belirlenmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak İlk Okuma Yazma Öğretimine Yönelik Mobil Uygulamaları İnceleme Formu (İ-MUİF) kullanılmıştır. İ-MUİF’in ilk kısmında araştırma materyali olarak belirlenen uygulamaların tanımlayıcı bilgileri belirlenmiştir. İkinci kısımda uygulamalar Okul Öncesi Çocuklara Yönelik Eğitimsel Mobil Uygulamaları İnceleme Rubriği (Rubric for the Evaluation of Educational Apps for Preschool Children) ile incelenmiştir. Üçüncü aşamada uygulamalar ilk okuma yazma öğretiminin nitelikleri açısından incelenmiştir. Son olarak ise uygulamalarda karşılaşılan sorunlar ve uygulamalara dair kullanıcı görüşleri belirlenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda genel olarak okuma yazma öğretimine yönelik geliştirilmiş mobil uygulamaların eğitimsel içerik, tasarım, işlevsellik ve teknik özellikler açısından yetersiz-zayıf oldukları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Uygulamalarda harfleri seslendirmede hata yapıldığı, sessiz harflerin sesli harf eklenerek söylendiği, bazı uygulamalarda harflerin İngilizce seslendirildiği, kelimelerin hatalı şekilde hecelere ayrıldığı ve harflerin oluşturuluş yönlerinin hatalı gösterildiği tespit edilmiştir. İlk okuma yazma öğretimine yönelik geliştirilmiş mobil uygulamaların değerlendirilme sayıları, yıldız puanları ve rubrik puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmamaktadır. Bu nedenle değerlendirme sayısı ya da yıldız puanına göre mobil uygulamaların kullanımına karar verilmesinin doğru bir tercih olmayacağı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

MOBILE APPLICATIONS DEVELOPED FOR READING AND WRITING TEACHING; POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITATIONS

Abstract

In the research process, mobile applications developed for reading and writing teaching were examined in terms of educational applications, stages of the first reading and writing teaching, and user opinions. For this purpose, mobile applications were evaluated with document/material analysis technique in accordance with the structure of qualitative research. Taking into account the data of application providers, the researchers identified 30 mobile applications as research material. In the process of data collection, Mobile Applications Examination Form for Reading and Writing Teaching (RWT-MAEF) was used. In the first part of the RWT-MAEF, descriptive information of the applications identified as research material was determined. In the second part, the applications were examined with “Rubric for the Evaluation of Educational Apps for Preschool Children”. In the third stage, the applications were examined in terms of reading and writing teaching qualities. Finally, the problems encountered in the applications and user opinions were determined. Descriptive analysis technique was used for data analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that mobile applications, in general, were inadequate/weak in terms of educational content, design, functionality, and technical features. It was found that there was a mistake in vocalizing the letters in the applications, that the silent letters were expressed by the addition of vowels, that in some applications, the letters were vocalized in English, that the words were misplaced into syllables and that the direction of the letters was formed incorrectly. There is no significant relationship between the number of evaluations of mobile applications, star scores, and rubric scores. Therefore, it was concluded that using mobile applications based on the number of reviews or star points would not be the right choice.
