Abstract:

Developments in information and communication technologies bring about changes in the field of education as well as in different areas of life. It is expected that teachers, who are a part of the education system that goes on the path of renewal in parallel with the developing technology, have knowledge and skills in the field of developing technology and use these skills in raising new generation students. Due to the global pandemic, there has been a mandatory transition in virtual classroom applications. Therefore, virtual classroom management is of great importance in terms of effective learning and teaching in virtual classrooms. The purpose of this research is to examine the importance of teachers' technological knowledge competencies in terms of virtual classroom management. In the study conducted with the document analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, the relevant literature was examined and the findings were discussed. As a result of the research, the importance of teachers to have sufficient knowledge in this direction has been revealed in order to carry out the education carried to digital platforms with the pandemic effectively and efficiently. In virtual classroom management, unlike traditional classroom management, it is seen that there is a need for the development of technological infrastructure, as well as the need for teachers to be supported in order to develop their knowledge and skills through seminars and trainings in this field.
