Bu kapsamda 2017-2018 eğitim-öğretim yılı itibari ile yürürlüğe giren revize edilmiş hayat bilgisi öğretim programı içerisinde yer alan “Güvenli Hayat” ünitesinin bir kazanımının sınıf öğretmenleri tarafından nasıl yorumlandığı araştırılmıştır. Çalışma 12 sınıf öğretmeni ile nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olgubilim (fenomenoloji) deseni ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sırasında “yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu” kullanılmıştır Görüşme sonunda yazıya aktarılan veriler betimsel ve içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiş ve bulgular değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre öğretmenlerin büyük bir çoğunluğu kazanımı fiziksel güvenlik (kaza, yaralanma, güvenli oyun alanları vb.) ve saygılı iletişim (söz alma, büyüklere saygılı olma vb.) çerçevesinde yorumlamış ve çocuk istismarı ile ilişkilendirmemiştir. Öğretmenler ilgili konuda hiç eğitim almadıklarını da belirtmişlerdir. Bu çalışma sonucunda eğitim alanında çocuk istismarı konusunda yeterli bir farkındalık olmadığı fark edilmiş ve eğitim alanında önleyici uygulamalara yönelik farkındalık oluşturulması için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

The purpose of this study was to examine the opinions of engineering students from various departments regarding the progress tracking and digital badge features applied in courses in the Learning Management System (LMS). The phenomenological design which is a qualitative research method is used in this study. Online forms with close and open questions were used to collect data. The study was conducted with a total of 226 students, who studied in 5 different departments. The data is subject to content analysis. According to the research results, students stated that the features tested triggered motivation to complete assignments and develop other students. As for the opinion of some students that these features should be held in every course in the LMS. Despite the general view of an LMS equipped with these features (Moodle), their general view of the features, especially the progress tracking feature and digital badges is quite good. What needs to be questioned is the willingness of lecturers and policymakers to apply it consistently in the campus environment.
