Methodological Evaluation of the Use of ICTs in Mixed Method Research in Education
Öz: The purpose of this phenomenological research was to evaluate the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in mixed method research (MMR) in education from a educational researchers’ methodological perspective. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 educational researchers. The data were analyzed by thematic content analysis. Nine themes were identified in the interviews with educational researchers. The most emphasized contribution of ICTs was found to be about data collection. Six of the themes explained the need for new data collection tools and positive evaluations of ICTs on triangulation and transformation of data by collecting massive, in-depth and original data for MMRs. Two themes were about the role of the researcher in MMRs. Educational researchers argued that the use of ICTs in MMRs can support collaborations among researchers and reduce researcher limitations. Finally, educational researchers underlined the critical importance of the discovery of new MMR models in digital age.
Anahtar Kelime: BİT'lerin Eğitimde Karma Yöntem Araştırmalarında Kullanımının Yöntemsel Açıdan Değerlendirilmesi
Öz: Bu fenomenolojik araştırmanın amacı, Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojilerinin (BİT) eğitimde karma yöntem araştırmalarında kullanımının eğitim araştırmacıları tarafından yöntemsel açıdan değerlendirilmesidir. Eğitim alanından 12 araştırmacı ile yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Veriler tematik içerik analizi ile analiz edilmiştir. Eğitim alanından araştırmacılarla yapılan görüşmelerde dokuz tema belirlenmiştir. BİT'lerin en çok vurgulanan katkısının veri toplama ile ilgili olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Temalardan altısı, yeni veri toplama araçlarına olan ihtiyacı ve BİT'lerin karma araştırma yöntemleri için büyük, derinlemesine ve orijinal veriler toplayarak, verilerin sağlaması ve dönüştürülmesi üzerindeki olumlu değerlendirmeleri açıklamaktadır. İki tema araştırmacıların karma araştırma yöntemindeki rolü ile ilgilidir. Eğitim alanındaki araştırmacılar, BİT'lerin karma araştırma yöntemlerinde kullanılmasının araştırmacılar arasındaki işbirliğini destekleyebileceğini ve araştırmacının sınırlılıklarını azaltabileceğini savunmaktadır. Son olarak, eğitim alanındaki araştırmacılar, yeni karma araştırma yöntemi modellerinin keşfedilmesinin dijital çağdaki kritik öneminin altını çizmektedir.
