Preparation of the interactive education software on gravure printing technique

In this study, we aim to develop an effective material for teaching the subject of ?gravure printing technique? which has an important place in graphics and painting education. For this purpose, in line with the possibilities provided by technology, a sample interactive education CD has been prepared where many mobile and fixed materials known as affective in the process of teaching&learning are used and where individual learning has priority. The basic goal of this study consists of the importance of the interactive education which is successfully used in modern education, the stages for preparation of the interactive education software on gravure printing technique and a sample interactive CD.In preparation of the interactive education software on Gravure Printing Technique, first a group of 2 graphics teachers, 1 program development expert in education, 2 education technology expert and 2 computer experts. Assistance of the expert group has been received in all stages of the study. The concerned goals and target behaviour have been determined by the interactive education software on Gravure Printing Technique. A content list has been prepared to give the determined goals and behaviour. A CD has been prepared including introduction activities according to certain criteria, home page, program usage directive, information transfer and evaluation questions.Scale has been prepared under the supervision of the expert group in order to evaluate the interactive CD. A survey form has been created including the prepared scale and applied to 10 graphic design experts, 10 graphic teachers and 10 students of graphics department of vocational high school. The education software has been viewed by the participating experts, teachers and students; the CD has been paused at certain intervals and the participants have been asked to answer the evaluation questions on the section viewed.Conclusions and suggestions are included in the last section of the study. According to the data obtained as a result of the survey, almost all of the teachers and students marked the ?very good? option; most of the experts marked the ?very good? option and a small part marked ?good? or ?medium? options. Corrections have been made according to the survey results and the common views of the jury members in the sections of the preparation stage of the interactive education software on Gravure Printing Technique (determining the goals and content, display design, main page layout), introduction activities (presenting the goals, arranging the motivation activities and program usage directive) and content creating.
