Abstract

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of education given through digital resources on the language didactic potential of students with the views of teachers. 40 primary school teachers who teach 1st–4th-grade students in various provinces of Kazakhstan participated in the research. In the research, case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The research data were collected through a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher in order to get the opinions of the teachers who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. The research data were analysed by the content analysis technique. As a result of the research, it has been determined that teachers are prone to use technology and partially use digital resources in their lessons. However, teachers stated that they are more open to the use of digital resources if the opportunity is given. In addition, although most of the teachers state that the use of digital resources has no effect on increasing the workload of the teacher, some define it as a workload. With regard to the digital resources used in the course, teachers stated that it partially increased teacher success and that it had a positive effect on student success and student motivation. The research findings reveal that teachers need to receive supportive training on the use of digital resources in education.
