Özet

This mixed-method study had two purposes: (1) to explore the appropriateness of the learning outcomes of information technologies (IT) course curriculum in teacher education programs based on the opinions of curriculum development experts and (2) to evaluate the opinions of the academics about the adequacy of this curriculum. Curriculum development experts (n = 5) evaluated the learning outcomes of the IT course curriculum followed by the education faculties of 25 universities in Türkiye in terms of their qualitative relevance. We also obtained the opinions of 10 academics in these faculties for the evaluation of the IT course curriculum. To collect data, we used the “Qualitative Eligibility Form for Learning Outcomes” and “Evaluation Form for IT Curriculum”. We employed descriptive statistics in the analysis of quantitative data while qualitative data were analysed using content analysis. The results showed that most of the learning outcomes in the IT course curriculum were not sufficient for the criteria of formal spelling conformity, necessity, and encouragement of higher-order thinking. The academics’ perspectives revealed that course sessions and practical learning activities in the IT curriculum were not sufficient. They suggested that emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, Web 2.0/3.0 tools, robotics, coding, and augmented/virtual reality should be integrated into the curriculum. The implications for IT curriculum in teacher education programs and recommendations for future research were also discussed.
