Öz:

Çalıs?ma kapsamında, I?stanbul U?niversitesi Uzaktan Eg?itim Faku?ltesi'nde o?g?renim go?ren, farklı bo?lu?mlerden 8 dijital yerli olarak tanımlanabilecek uzaktan yu?ksek o?g?retim o?g?rencisi ve 8 dijital go?c?men olarak tanımlanabilecek uzaktan yu?ksek o?g?retim o?g?rencisi ile odak grup go?ru?s?mesi gerc?ekles?tirilmis?tir. O?g?rencilere, uzaktan eg?itim sistemi dahilinde tu?m paydas?larla hangi iletis?im arac?larıyla iletis?im kurmayı tercih ettikleri, iletis?im su?recinde yas?adıkları sorunların ve beklentilerinin neler oldug?una yo?nelik sorular sorulmus?tur. Sonuc? olarak, dijital yerli ve dijital go?c?men o?g?rencilerin iletis?im kurma su?rec?lerinde farklılıklar oldug?u ortaya konmus? ve bu farklılıkların, onların o?g?renme su?rec?lerine de yansıdıg?ı tespit edilmis?tir. Dijital yerli olarak tanımlanan o?g?renciler, kurumsal dijital o?g?renme ortamları u?zerinde sosyal ag?lar aracılıg?ıyla daha c?ok etkiles?im beklentisi ic?inde iken, dijital go?c?menler sistem u?zerindeki uygulamalar aracılıg?ıyla grup c?alıs?masına yo?nelik giris?imlerin gu?c?lendirilmesini talep etmektedir. Teknik sorunlar, her iki grubun o?g?renme faaliyetlerini olumsuz yo?nde etkileyen fakto?rlerdir

UZAKTAN ÖĞRENENLER İÇİN KİŞİLERARASI ETKİLEŞİM SÜRECİ: DİJİTAL YERLİ VE DİJİTAL GÖÇMEN KAVRAMLARI KAPSAMINDA TÜRKİYE’DEN BİR ÖRNEK

Öz:

Within the scope of the study, a focus group interview was conducted with the 8 distance education students who can be defined as digital natives and 8 distance education students who can be defined as digital immigrants. Students were chosen from different departments in Istanbul University’s Faculty of Open and Distance Education. Among the important questions that asked as a part of the study are what communication tools they prefer to communicate with all stakeholders under the distance education system, what kind of problems they experience in the communication process and what their expectations are regarding the communication practices. In conclusion, it is determined that there are some differences in communication habits between digital native and digital immigrant students. It is revealed that such differences are able to reflect on their learning practices. While digital natives expected to enjoy more interaction opportunities on the formal educational software through the social networks, digital immigrants expected some initiatives for collaborative studies. Technical problems are important factors that adversely affect the learning activities for both groups
