Abstract:

“Establishment of technology assisted environments suitable for new teaching programs has become more of an issue each passing day. From this aspect, Teaching Technologies and Material Design (TTMD) course comes first as applied courses modeling the knowledge generation in pre-service teacher education. One of the teaching activities within the scope of this course is the activities of pre-service teachers for short film preparation and application. Ministry of National Education (MEB) encourages the short film designs through Education Informatics Network (EBA). Integration of technological and pedagogical knowledge that pre-service teachers have within the frame of content knowledge to be taught has been aimed with this kind of activities. This study includes the examination of technological and pedagogical properties of scripts of early childhood pre-service teachers in short film designs. In this research that has been performed with pre-service teachers in KTÜ (Karadeniz Technical University) Fatih Faculty of Education, Early Childhood Education Department, short film production towards the suitable ones for the zones of development and objectives within the MEB Early Childhood Education Program (2013) was asked from groups of four. 5 films selected by criterion sampling method from educational short films prepared, were examined in terms of technical skills, suitability for pedagogical learning objectives and child development, varieties of representation, and knowledge of learner (pre-conceptions and learning disability characteristics). Results refer to that short film contents are suitable for zones of development with pedagogical learning objectives indicators in this type of scripting beside the film preparation skills in terms of technical skills, It has been seen that even if a variety of representation in terms of early childhood education was provided, there are not enough applications characterizing the pre-conceptions in short film contents.”
