Abstract:

The video material on the EBA platform developed by the Ministry of National Education is used by teachers as a assistant material in their courses. This study aims to reveal the ways teachers in the user position can find, prefer and use video materials in their classes. In this study, the data was obtained using the conversation method. The study’s work group consists of a total of 20 branch teachers working in 6 secondary schools and 3 high school institutions in Bingöl or Karlıova district. In the research, one of the quality research methods is preferred to study the situation. Content analysis was carried out to analyze the quality data collected from participants. The data obtained from the participants through the interviews was analyzed in three stages. The first part analyses how teachers provide video materials, the second part what are the criteria that determine the reasons for the use of video materials by teachers, and the third part analyses the ways in which teachers use video materials in class. The results of the analysis show that the vast majority of teachers do not use the video material in the EBA too much in their classes because they find it unregular in terms of content and in terms of numbers. While teachers use video materials at EBA as a helpful material in their classes, they take into account criteria such as time, images, sound, interaction, story, motivation and content. When it comes to the ways in which video materials are used in class, it appears that there are different types of use in the branch, such as interactive, partial or covering the whole lesson, while doing exercises, solving questions, summarizing the subject.
