A research on the use of visual media technology in education

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to examine the educational effect of the use of visual media technology in the Education System. In order to achieve this purpose, the teachers' opinions were consulted. For this reason, together with the demographic variables of the teachers working in secondary schools, the effects of visual media technology in education and training in Northern Cyprus were investigated. The commonly used survey method was used in this research to describe the current situation and in order to gather the data collection tool "The educational effect of the use of the visual media by the teachers" was used. It has been found significant differences for the items "Visual media literacy has isolated the students from the dreamy education approach", "I don't find the visual media suitable for the students" and "The traditional education approach has ended with the visual media". As a result, teachers believe that the education provided by visual media is more concrete, but that visual technology is not integrated into the existing education system sufficiently.
