Özet:
The aim of this study is to investigate how technology can be effectively integrated
into the science teaching and learning process. Practical action research was employed
during the study. The participants consisted of eight seventh-grade students, aged between
13 and 14, selected using a purposeful sampling method. The study was carried out in the
first semester of the 2023–2024 academic year. Science lessons were conducted over three
weeks utilizing various technological tools, including interactive videos, animations,
simulations, and educational games. Data collection instruments included reflection
journals, observation field notes and protocols, questionnaires, focus-group interviews,
validity committee meeting records, and lesson plans. The collected data were analyzed
using both descriptive and inductive thematic analysis.
The findings revealed several challenges encountered, including time constraints,
techno-centric distractions, excessive technology integration, and issues with mouse and
cursor speed. Strategies such as developing technology integration timelines, selecting
and integrating challenging simulation tasks, and aligning tools with instructional
objectives were implemented to address these challenges. The findings showed an
enhancement in the students' learning experiences with technological tools, fostering
understanding, engagement, collaboration, and hands-on learning. The students expressed
enthusiasm for these tools, recognizing their effectiveness in promoting comprehension
and enjoyment of scientific concepts.
