USE OF FILMS, PLATFORMS, AND EDUCATIONAL APPLICATIONS IN PRIMARY EDUCATION

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate primary school teachers' perceptions regarding the frequency of using educational platforms, digital applications, and videos for teaching science and geography. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire survey in which 107 primary school teachers voluntarily participated. The analysis included: the frequency with which teachers use videos in science lessons, from various sources; the frequency of students using digital games and videos from various sources; the frequency of teachers creating/editing videos; the frequency of teachers using educational platforms and applications in science lessons; and the frequency of students using digital applications. The results show that primary school teachers use videos in science and geography lessons, most frequently using video clips, and that they rarely create, edit, or adapt videos using digital applications. Primary school teachers consider that students frequently use digital games and quite rarely use digital applications.
