BLOG ORTAMINDA İŞBİRLİKLİ E-PORTFOLYO UYGULAMALARINA İLİŞKİN ÖĞRETMEN ADAYLARININ GÖRÜŞLERİ

Öz:

Bu çalışmada, 2015-2016 eğitim-öğretim yılında Pedagojik Formasyon Eğitimi Sertifika Programı'na devam eden öğretmen adaylarının öğretim sürecinde blog ortamında işbirlikli küçük ve büyük grupla e-portfolyo uygulamalarına ilişkin görüşlerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla iki sınıfla çalışılmıştır. İlk sınıf gruplara ayrılarak her bir grubun kendine ait blog sayfasında çalışması, ikinci sınıf da gruplara ayrılarak, tüm grupların tek bir blog sayfasında çalışmaları sağlanmıştır. Öğretim Teknolojileri ve Materyal Tasarımı dersinde her hafta yapılan etkinlikler blog ortamında paylaşılmış ve yorumlar yapılmıştır. Öğrencilerin görüşleri yazılı olarak alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, nitel bir durum çalışmasıdır. Bulgular içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilerek temalar halinde kodlanmış ve görsellerle desteklenerek sunulmuştur. Büyük grupta aynı ortamda tüm çalışmaları görebilme imkanının, küçük grupta bloglarla iletişim, yorum ve fikir alışverişi yapma ve işbirlikli çalışma imkanlarının vurgulandığı bulgulanmıştır. Geleneksel portfolyo yerine blog ve facebook gibi sosyal ağlarda e-portfolyo çalışmaları tercih edilebilir. Nitelikli ve sorumluluk yüklenen e-portfolyo çalışmaları için büyük grup yerine küçük grup tercih edilmesi önerilebilir.
