Analyse und Bewertung der Digitalen Zusatzmedien des DaF-Lehrwerks „Menschen A2“

Abstract

Digitization is a highly topical issue. The digital transformation has changed people's everyday lives immensely, and the term "digital media" emerged, which plays a significant role in education. Resultantly, the use of digital media has been increasingly promoted in schools and become an important part of GFL Lessons. Mobile applications, learning games, learning videos and much more can be used successfully in the classroom. In this respect, digital media have been integrated into the GFL textbooks, some of them are even available digitally. However, the media literacy of teachers plays an important role to integrate them effectively in lessons. The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine the effect and benefits of additional digital media in the GFL lessons based on the GFL textbook "Menschen A2". For this purpose, quantitative and qualitative data have been gathered. This study is based on the mixed method and consists of two parts. The first part is based on the qualitative research method, which involves the analysis of the lessons of the GFL textbook "Menschen A2" with its additional digital media. The second part is based on the quantitative research method, for which 24 teachers from Hacettepe and Bilkent Universities were surveyed. Based on the results was found that the additional digital media of the GFL textbook “Menschen A2” are frequently used in lessons and their use leads to efficient learning of the German language.
