With the constantly developing technology, the education given in the schools has become far beyond the classical understandings and equipments. Such a transformation has made it compulsory for teachers to have some competencies, to acquire some skills, and to use technology above a certain level. Turkey is aware of the importance of using technology in education and thus equips public schools with state-of-the-art technological tools via a reformist project called FATIH. Within the scope of this project, smart boards were installed in each classroom. Since this integration, teachers have been using these tools and researchers have been investigating their usage. In this study, a literature review was conducted to explore teachers’ use of smarts boards in Turkey. The research reviewed this study is limited to graduate theses completed in universities in Turkey and published by YOK thesis center. The relevant studies were accessed by using the keywords such as “smart board”, “smart board use and “teacher’s use of smart board”. The studies found as a result of this scanning were filtered and summarized through the use of 4N1K methodology. As a result, it was concluded that teachers’ use of smart boards differed in terms of branches, demographic characteristics, computer usage, status of receiving in-service training, and technological predisposition. In addition, while there were studies on the use of smart boards in different branches, no study has been found on classroom/primary teachers in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
