Özet
Son yıllarda eğitime, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin yoğun bir şekilde entegrasyonu söz konusudur. Bu süreçte liderlik ve kullanım şekline yön veren öğretmenler önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bakanlık tarafından yapılan teknolojik yatırımlar ve eğitim sistemin işleyişinde yoğun teknoloji kullanımı gerekliliği nedeni ile öğretmenlerden yoğun bir teknoloji kullanımı beklenilmektedir. Ancak bu beklenti, öğretmenler açısından birtakım olumsuzluklara yol açabilmektedir. Söz konusu olumsuzluklardan birinin, teknolojiden kaynaklı stres anlamında kullanılan ve teknoloji kullanımının bedeli olarak görülen "teknostres" olduğu söylenebilir. Bu araştırmada, dahil oldukları entegrasyon süreci gereği yoğun teknoloji kullanımı zorunluluğunun muhatabı olan öğretmenlerin teknostres nedenlerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla teknolojiyi yoğun bir şekilde kullanan 64 öğretmenden açık uçlu soru formu ile veri toplanmış, içerik analizi ile elde edilen 117 farklı görüşten temalar oluşturulmuştur. Buna göre öğretmenlerin teknostres nedeni olan beş temel neden ifade edilmiştir; kişisel problemler, teknik problemler, eğitim odaklı problemler, sağlık problemleri ve zaman problemi. Ayrıca öğretmenlerin teknostres nedenleri dağılımlarının cinsiyete göre farklılaştığı da görülmüştür.
In recent years, especially means of information and communication technologies are intensively tried to be integrated into education period in educational fields. In this period, leadership and teachers who shape the ways to use this technology play an important role. Therefore, teachers are expected to use an intensive amount of technology following the technological investments in education fields required by the ministry in recent years. However, this expectation also brings some negative issues into the agenda. One of them is the stress caused by technology, namely; technostress. Technostress is defined as the price of technology use. The purpose of this study is to determine the reasons leading to technostress experienced by teachers, who are the addressee of an intensive use of technology as a result of an integration process to which they are subjected in this study. For this purpose, qualitative data were collected from 64 teachers, who benefit from technology intensively and themes were prepared using 117 different opinions after the content analysis. According to this, there are five main reasons indicating technostress experienced by teachers: individual problems, technical problems, education oriented problems, health problems and time problem. It was also seen in the study that the distribution of reasons leading to technostress experienced by teachers also differs in terms of gender.
