Perceptions of Students About the Use of Blended Learning in Computer Literacy Courses

The technology in our lives is changing rapidly every day. In the field of technology, our life changes after every step taken by humanity and education cannot be excluded. In addition to traditional, face-to-face education, we have different learning models today. This study was carried out in Eastern Mediterranean University, “Hukuk için Bilgisayar” (ITEC190) and “Bilgisayara Giriş” (ITEC115) courses in the 2019-2020 Spring semester. These courses were given as blended learning and students' perceptions about the use of blended learning were examined. The data were collected using a modified questionnaire prepared by Gedik (2010). Findings showed that students' perceptions about the application of blended learning were positive in these lessons. In addition, students' views on the classroom atmosphere can be positively defined. However, due to the covid-19 outbreak, students had chance to attend classes physically for only 4 weeks. As a result, some students declared that they felt lonely. As a result, some students declared that they felt lonely. Moreover, the results revealed that there was a statistically significant difference in participants' perceptions according to their gender. However, findings show that there is no significant difference between the perceptions of the participants according to the number of blended courses they have taken before.
