HUMAN PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES IMPROVEMENT OF TEACHERS’ USAGE OF INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARDS

Abstract

The aim of the study is to develop and evaluate IPT solutions to improve teachers' use of interactive whiteboards. In line with this purpose, the factors (information, opportunities and motivation etc.) that prevent the use of interactive whiteboards were determined and interventions that would ensure their elimination were designed and implemented. Developmental Research method was used in the study. In the research group, there are five different branch teachers working in a public school. Within the scope of the study, the data were obtained using observation and semi-structured interview forms. The obtained data were analyzed by using frequency and percentage values from content analysis and descriptive analysis tools. Before and after the application, observations and interviews were carried out to determine the level of interactive whiteboard use by teachers. After the interventions, teachers' perceptions of the use of interactive whiteboards in lessons improved. After the intervention, teachers' interactivity increased significantly, while one of the most important results that were obtained was the change in the quality of interactive whiteboard usage.
