Özet:

Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the pedagogical problems that teachers and students who participate in the pilot application of the Opportunities and Technology Improvement Movement Project (FATİH) are facing from the perspective of teachers, students and school managers. The Government of the Republic of Turkey has launched the FATİH project throughout Turkey to enable schools to take advantage of Information and Communication Technologies in education. The examples of the research are made up of 167 teachers, 667 students and 31 school managers who participated in the pilot application of the project in four provinces located in eastern Turkey. The data was collected with liquid scale surveys and group interviews. The surveys were applied to teachers, students and school managers in the schools involved in the project online. After the quantum data collected was analyzed, focused group conversations were conducted with the students, teachers and school managers identified. While quantum data is subject to visual analysis, quality data is subject to content analysis. To ensure the reliability of content analysis, the data was analyzed by two researchers and the consistency ratio was calculated. Although the scale and quality results show some differences, the findings show that teachers have difficulties in class management, they lose their leading roles in the classroom, they lose their communication and interaction with students along with the integration of information and communication technologies. From the student’s point of view, the new technologies have caused disturbance in the students, the students have spent most of their time playing with these technologies and the students have caused to become passive, and the teachers, students and school managers have expressed that they only use these technologies to play games.
