Öğretim Materyallerinin Etkililiğini Artirmaya Yönelik Disiplinlerarasi Materyal Geliştirme Model Önerisi: DIMAG Modeli

Abstract

Extended Summary Purpose In this study an interdisciplinary material development model proposal for increasing the efficiency of teaching materials attempted to present. For this purpose, following research questions searched for answers. *Which processes should consist of the interdisciplinary material development model (DIMAG/IMD Model) that desired to be developed? *On which level are effectiveness of the teaching materials developed in accordance with the DIMAG/IMD Model? *What are the teachers' and prospective teachers' ideas on DIMAG/IMD Model? Method As the study has both quantitative and qualitative aspects, the study conducted in accordance with the exploratory sequential pattern which is a kind of mixed methods. Mixed methods research is the use of qualitative and quantitative methods together throughout the data collection and analysis processes for understanding the research problem better and in-depth (Creswell ve Plano Clark, 2014; Hesse-Biber, 2010). Mixed methods research has kinds as explanatory sequential pattern, exploratory sequential pattern, transformational sequential pattern, simultaneously triangulation pattern, concurrent interwoven pattern, and simultaneous transformational pattern (Creswell, 2003). Exploratory pattern is seen as an important method as it can express quantitatively the similarities and relationships of phenomenon created with qualitative methods by participants (McMillan ve Schumacher, 2006). As these properties of exploratory pattern match up with the properties of this study exploratory sequential pattern is used.
