Evaluation of Material Development and Presentation Process within the Scope of Instructional Technologies and Material Design Course

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the development and presentation process of materials prepared by sophomores studying in the Department of Elementary Education in the Faculty of Education at Cumhuriyet University in the spring semester of 2017-2018 academic year within the scope of Instructional Technologies and Material Design course in accordance with the views of 52 sophomore preservice primary teachers (33 females, 19 males) taking this course in this term. An interview form including five semi structured questions and prepared by the researcher was used as a tool for the collection of data. The data were analyzed using Maxqda11, qualitative data analysis software, and descriptive analysis technique. After generating main categories and themes, codes obtained from the views were arranged according to the themes. The findings disclosed that sophomore preservice primary teachers had positive opinions about the development and presentation process of materials. However, regarding preparing a material and preparing a presentation themes, the participants also mentioned some difficulties they experienced during this process. At the end of the term, exhibition of the prepared materials by students was suggested for other teachers and students to visit and see them. Another suggestion includes sharing the materials prepared by the students within the scope of the ITMD course with nearby schools or village schools so that they make use of them in their teaching- learning process.
