Summary:-
This study was carried out on students who completed their K-12 education and just started university. The purpose of the study was to evaluate their skills
regarding the educational technology standards and to examine the factors that influence these skills.

Consequently, it was found that the students examined had an average level of educational technology standards. Moreover, it was also revealed that their easy access to the internet via their own computers as well as the education level of their mother helped them develop their skills.

Purposes:-
This study examines the overall conditions of students’ skills in educational technology standards.

Data Collection Tool:-
The data collection tool of the study was developed by the researchers considering the NETS*S standards and the current education programs in Turkey. The data collection tool developed was made up of two parts. The
first part of the tool included statements about personal information, and the second part comprised statements about educational technology standards.

The statements about educational technology standards were prepared
as 5-item likert type like “Never”, “Rarely”, “Sometimes”, “Often”, “Very Often.”
In the process of developing the data collection tool prepared on the basis of NETS*S standards, the researchers first prepared items as a rough draft and gathered them all in an item pool. A total of 33 items gathered in the item pool were sent to 5 experts, 4 of whom were expert in the field of Educational Technologies and 1 of whom was expert in the field of Education Programs and Teaching. Following the expert-feedback process, 5 items were excluded from the data collection tool, and some of the items were changed. Thus, the final version of the data collection tool included 28 items. Following its application, the reliability coefficient (Cronbach Alpha) of the data collection tool was calculated as α=0.93.
