Abstract:

The first aim of this research is that evaluate the sıtuatıon of usıng technologıes ın educatıon accordıng to concentric circles model of the instructors. In this research, the technology usage of the instructors working in higher education were examined as a case study in their natural environment and designed using qualitative research techniques. Document analysis, information form, semi-structured interview, observation methods were used in the collection of research data. Participants were five instructors working in different faculties. According to the results, it was determined that the instructors used tools such as computer, projection, smart board and internet for different purposes such as teaching, communication and measurement. In addition, instructors think that technology is interesting for the learner when used correctly and appropriately, it provides visuality to subjects and concepts and facilitates understanding of difficult forms. The instructors are worried that these technologies cannot attract the prospective teachers' interest during the use of technology, that they have pedagogical concerns and that the duration of the lesson is limited. In addition, it was concluded that the existing equipment used in the technology integration process was incomplete and inadequate and the conditions for infrastructure and technical personnel should be improved. Although some of the instructors took similar courses at undergraduate and graduate levels and carried out similar studies on technology, it was also observed that they did not reflect technology in their courses. Universities should be structured in accordance with new technologies and demands in order to implement technology integration effectively and efficiently in the education and training environment.
