dc.description.abstractThe significance of learning is not hidden to anyone in today’s world more than ever before. Using the cutting edge technologies to facilitate and expedite education has always been one of the priorities of education authorities. However, the pace at which the authorities make the final decision whether or not allow a new technological gadget in the official curriculum seems to be not fast enough to keep up with the latest trends in society. Therefore, scholars are required to accumulate the needed data so that they are able to ensure the authorities of the efficiency of the new advances in technology. This thesis tries to evaluate the emerging technologies, smart phones in particular, from the perspective of the prime stakeholders i.e. students, who are more often than not, neglected in decision-making processes of education. The researcher attempts to provide appropriate evidence for the education authorities, so that they can make more educated judgments about the future of instructional technologies such as mobile phones. Keywords: Instructional technologies, smart phones, perceptions of students, students’ beliefs.en_US
dc.description.abstractÖZ: Eğitimin önemi günümüzde herzaman için gizli kalmamıştır ve önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Eğitimdeki otoriteler tarafından da teknolojinin kullanımı ve eğitimdeki yeri öncellenmiştir. Buna karşın yetkililer tarafından resmi müfredata girebilecek olan yeni teknolojik uygulamaların yeteri kadar hızlı olmadığı ve toplumdaki yeni trendlere ulaşılamadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Dolayısıyla araştırmacılar, yetkililerin yeteri kadar yeni teknolojiyi takip edip etmedikleriyle ilgili gerekli bilgileri toplamalıdırlar. Bu araştırma, yeni çıkan teknolojileri, özellikle akıllı telefonları, öğrencilerin, ki eğitimde karar alma sürecinde herhangi bir söz hakkı verilmeyen kişilerdir, perspektifinden değerlendirmeye çalışmıştır. Araştırmacı gerekli kanıtları eğitim yetkililerine sağlamaya çalışmıştır. Bunun sonucunda ise, yetkililer de eğitim teknolojileriyle ilgili eğitim açısından daha yapılandırıcı ve pragmatik kararlar alabileceklerdir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Eğitim Teknolojileri, Akıllı telefonlar, Öğrencilerin inançları, Öğrencilerin tutumları.en_US
