The Perceptions of Preservice Teachers on Creation and Use of Hologram Materials in Education

Abstract

In the study, the use of 3D simple hologram material (3DHM) in pre-school education is evaluated with different aspects from pre-school pre-service teachers' perspectives. Forty pre-service teachers selected by the criterion sampling method were included in the study which was designed with triangulation design. At the end of the five-week study including 3DHM development and pre-school adaptation, interviews were conducted with the pre-service teachers. The quantitative data obtained were subjected to frequency analysis, and qualitative data were subjected to in vivo coding and attribute coding in the first step and axial coding in the second step. As a result of the research, according to pre-service teachers, 3DHM can be used as a teaching material and an activity that can be done with students. In addition, according to pre-service teachers, 3DHM could develop children's cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills and also increase their motivation and interest and memorability.
