Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the impact of student access , according to the level system which is made of Semantic web applications in the  teaching of  the higher education programme. The research, was conducted in the second term of 2023-2024 academic year, in Ondokuz Mayis University, Vezirkopru Vocational School. In this research, the pretest / posttest experimental design  within non-equivalent control group was used. Computer programming department first class daytime education were randomly assigned to the control group. Computer programming department first class evening education has been identified as the experimental group. Prepared training material was organised according to the Ondokuz Mayis University English course ydi 102 lecture curriculum. Both the material and pretest posttest were submitted to the approval of the English field teachers. Two level tests which are suitable for the curriculum has been prepared in accordance with the semantic web base system. One of them is going to be applied at the beginning of the term and the other is at the end of the every subject. The web sites, including the level of user had been recorded to the database system on the semantic web material. When the user enter the system, the web sites shown to them according to the user's level. The control group did not enter this semantic web system. They study only by the classical method. This study aims to develop a material in English education level system so that the users can access the web pages and on line resources effectively and easily to improve their learning by themselves. By the sharing and reuse of this produced material the users can reach the right resources easily and immediately. So that they can improve their levels.
