Abstract:

 The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of the Digital Image Guide Method on the visual literacy skills of Turkish language teacher candidates. The research was conducted during the 2021-2022 academic year with 70 Turkish language teacher candidates enrolled in the Turkish Language Teaching program at Akdeniz University. The Visual Literacy Scale developed by Arslan and Nalıncı 2012 was used to measure visual literacy skills. In this context, pre-tests and post-tests were administered to the participants. Initially, the visual literacy scale was applied to determine the visual literacy levels of the participants. Subsequently, the participants received a total of 3 hours of training over 9 lessons, focusing on the definition of digital images, known as the DIG Method. After the training, the visual literacy scale post-test was reapplied, and the research was concluded. Additionally, to obtain more in-depth information, a semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher was used with 16 voluntary Turkish language teacher candidates who participated in the study. At the end of the research, dependent groups t-test analysis was conducted for the sub-dimensions that showed a normal distribution based on the pre-test and post-test results, while the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was applied to the sub-dimensions that did not show a normal distribution. A significant difference was observed in the mean total scores. The post-test mean scores of the group were higher than the pre-test mean scores. Overall, the Turkish language teacher candidates who participated in the DIG Method training reported that the DIG Method was beneficial in various aspects.

 Çalışmanın amacı Dijital Görüntü Kılavuzu Metodunun Türkçe öğretmeni adaylarının görsel okuryazarlık becerilerine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma, 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında Akdeniz Üniversitesi Türkçe Öğretmenliği bölümünde eğitim gören 70 Türkçe öğretmeni adayına uygulanmıştır. Görsel okuryazarlık becerilerinin ölçülmesi için Arslan ve Nalinci 2012 tarafından geliştirilen Görsel Okuryazarlık Ölçeğinden faydalanılmıştır. Bu doğrultuda katılımcılara ön test ve son test yapılmıştır. Araştırmada ilk olarak, katılımcıların görsel okuryazarlık düzeylerini belirleyebilmek amacıyla görsel okuryazarlık ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Katılımcılara daha sonra DIG Metodu olarak bilinen dijital görüntülerin tanımı yoluyla 9 dersten oluşan toplam 3 saatlik eğitim verilmiştir. Daha sonra, tekrar görsel okuryazarlık ölçeği son test uygulanarak araştırma sonlandırılmıştır. Bununla birlikte, daha derinlemesine bilgi elde edebilmek amacıyla çalışmaya katılan ve gönüllü olan 16 Türkçe öğretmeni adayına araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilmiş yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonunda ön test ve son test sonuçlarına göre normal dağılım gösteren alt boyutlarda bağımlı gruplar için t-testi analizi yapılmış, normal dağılım göstermeyen alt boyutlara ise Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testi yapılmıştır. Toplam puan ortalamalarında anlamlı fark olduğu görülmektedir. Grubun son test puan ortalaması ön test puan ortalamasından yüksektir. DIG Metodu etkinliğine katılan Türkçe öğretmeni adayları yapılan görüşmeler genel olarak ele alındığında Türkçe öğretmeni adayları DIG Metodunun birçok açıdan faydalı olduğunu aktarmışlardır.
