The Effect of Technology Enriched Classroom Model on Learning Processes: Smart Classroom
Project no. 21447 · Status: Kapanmış · 2020
Summary
<p>This study aims to investigate the influence of several environmental characteristics on learning in technology-supported learning settings in higher education. The research was conducted by collecting and analyzing quantitative and qualitative data in technology enriched smart classroom environment. The research study group consists of twenty-five undergraduate and graduate students attending Ege University during the spring and fall semesters. In technical design, data flow and communication mechanisms between a smart board, student tablets, and a research application are established. In addition, quantitative and qualitative data collection instruments were used to examine indoor conditions (temperature, relative humidity, pressure, light intensity, CO2, and sound intensity values) and their effects on learning; course evaluation questionnaire, student opinion questionnaire, course video recordings, academician interview form, and course observation form. In the study, the first semester of the fall semester, during which courses were given, lasted eight weeks; the second round of the application process lasted eight weeks during the spring semester. Utilizing qualitative analytic approaches and content analysis, the data was analyzed. On the quantitative data, descriptive and descriptive statistical analyses were done. The presence of technology in the classroom has a favorable effect on student achievement, according to the research findings. According to student perspectives, a technologically enriched classroom setting and its accompanying instructional materials have a good impact on the cognitive and affective aspects of the learning process. From an academic standpoint, this course has a significant effect on the learning process. Observations based on quantitative data indicate that indoor environment elements influence learning in technology-rich classrooms. In the context of the current literature, the research findings and recommendations for learning environments are discussed.</p>
