The Effect of Means of Mass Communication on Primary School Students’ Behaviour in the Classroom

15409

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of means of mass communication on primary school students’ behaviour in the classroom. The study group comprised classroom teachers working in primary schools connected to the Ministry of National Education located in the Yildirim, Nilufer and Osmangazi districts of Bursa in the 2014-2015 educational year. Of these teachers, 84 were female and 66 were male. In the study, the “Scale for Teacher Opinions on the Effect of Mass Communication Means on Primary School Students’ Behaviours in the Classroom” developed by Caliskan- Ulku (2011) was employed. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient determining the reliability of the scale in this study was found to be 0.93. In the statistical analysis of the obtained data the SPSS 20.0 package program was used. In order to check if the data was distributed normally, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used. Since the data was distributed normally, the Independent Samples T test, a parametric test, and the One-Way ANOVA test were employed. In the study, it was found that the classroom teachers’ opinions about the effect of means of mass communication on students’ behaviour in the classroom did not differ significantly according to their gender, length of service, place of service, place of residence or their economic status.
