Erkan, Akyürek
World Journal of Education, v9 n4 p30-40 2019
This paper aims to investigate the teachers' and students' views on using technology and its effect on communication/interaction. As noteworthy results have been succeeded in educational technology in recent years, evaluating the effects of technology integration on communication is now possible. Moreover, the impact of technology on the teachers' and students' communication is considered important. The present study examines the factors or the impact of using technology between teacher-student communication/interaction in Turkey. This paper proposes both innovation diffusion theory (IDT) and integrating technology acceptance model (TAM) from educational communication perspectives. The case study method was used in the research. Case study is one of the qualitative approaches and requires in-depth analysis of a case resulting in a narrative description of behaviour or experience of a person or a group. The sample of this study consists of 95 participants (77 students and 18 teachers) from a secondary school in Bursa/Turkey. Semi-Structured interviews were carried out with the participants including issues; "using education technology on teacher and student technologies, the effect of using education technology and to improve teacher-student communication should be used as solution proposals for technologies in classrooms". Maxqda 11 program was used for the analysis of the interviews. As a result of the interviews, participants have been suggested to use tablets in classrooms, sound insulation, use of never ending pen and no ringtones. The findings show that the choice of educational technology is related to teachers' perception which is communication/interaction with the student can be enhanced using technology. However, the opposite is true for students.
