    A Content analysis of the articles on metacognition in education in Turkey

    Baş, Fatih; Sağırlı, Meryem Özturan

    The aim of this research is to review the researches, which have been conducted on metacognition in education in our country and published as articles in terms of the field, topic, study group/sample, applied method, data collection tools, data analysis methods and publication languages. In the research, designed with descriptive content analysis method, all the 136 studies were reviewed stated in 112 journals. The following results were reached with the analyses. The number of studies-carried focusing on metacognition in the area of education- demonstrated a rapid increase especially in the last five years except for the year 2013. Almost in half of the studies, the researchers mainly focused on general features, such as the participants' awareness on metacognition or a particular side of metacognition, strategies, levels of use apart from a specific area. Orderly, Turkish, Mathematics, Science and Technology were among the most specific study areas. The variables, which may have effect on a metacognitive feature, and the relationship with a metacognitive feature and other various features were the most studied topics. A great number of the researches were carried out with pre-service teachers. There were almost no encountered study with high school students and teachers. No researches- with post-graduate students, administrators, and parents- have been encountered, either. As the researches were carried out generally with a quantitative approach and descriptively, mainly quantitative data collection tools were used. Mostly the hypothesis tests and relational tests were applied during the analysis process. The majority of the studies were published in Turkish.

    Çakiroğlu, Ünal; Yildiz, Merve; Mazlum, Ebru; Turan Güntepe, Ebru; Aydin, Şenay

    The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore collaborative activities that were carried out via weblogs according to a “learning by design” approach. During the instructional process, Microsoft Publisher was used for a series of infographic design activities. The study participants were 33 undergraduate students who were enrolled in an Arts Education program. The data sources included weblogs that were used by the participants to discuss the design process, as well as reflection reports that they provided. The data were analyzed according to Murphy’s collaboration model, which involved associating the participants’ experiences in the design process with the sub-phases of collaboration outlined in the model. The results indicated that, through the use of weblogs, the participants were able to design infographics via a “learning by design” approach. The weblogs allowed students to share their knowledge, and thereby to develop better artifacts. It is hoped that the study may provide insights concerning the link between weblogs and the learning by design approach in graphic design activities.

    Kaskaya, Alper

    Reading fluency and reading comprehension are the most prominent characteristics of a good reader. In this study, the aim is helping the students who have reading deficiencies although they do not have any mental or physical handicaps to overcome their reading problems. For this purpose, The Neurological Impress Method (NIM) was applied accompanied by various activities that aim to develop the "Sight Words" capacities of the students in the process of teaching how to read. Determining the influence of the teaching how to read process on permanence in reading and comprehension is the main purpose of the study. Two students who had insufficiency in reading although they did not have any mental or physical drawbacks were included in the study. The Activity Research Method was adopted in the study. Some adjustments were made in the process in order to increase the efficiency of the method used in the study (NIM). By doing so, the purpose was to improve the NIM process. The reading levels of the students in the study were determined by using the "Mistake Analysis Inventory". The levels of the texts used in the study were determined by using the "Fog Test". Also, additional data were obtained with the interviews with the students, teachers and parents. According to the results of the study, it was observed that "Neurological Impress Method", which was performed by converting the words in the text into Sight Words, ensured that the students acquired reading fluency skills, and improved their comprehension skills. In addition, it was also observed that NIM-assisted reading process, which was applied in the study, had a positive influence on the self-confidence of the students in terms of reading.

    Investigating the status of tablet computers and e-books use of open education faculty students: A case study

    Koçak, Ömer; Yildirim, Önder; Kurşun, Engin; Yildirim, Gürkan

    The increase in tablet computers and e-books use brings to mind the question of how users benefited from these technologies. In this sense, the present study investigated the status of students' tablet computers and e-books use and the reasons why students prefer to use and not use of tablet computers and e-books. Students' study habits while using e-books were also examined. In the study, which was designed as an instrumental case study, the data was obtained from 100 open education faculty students through semi-structured interview forms by making calls over the phone. In the analysis of the data, content analysis method was used. Results showed that the majority of the students stated that they use tablet computers and prefer e-books while studying. The main reasons why they prefer e-books are that they can be carried easily and studied everywhere. Considering the students' learning habits on e-books, four study habits were emerged. Interestingly, most of them study on tablets and take notes on a separate sheet. Eye fatigue and difficulty to edit the e-books are the main reasons of the students who preferred printed materials.

    A design practice for interactive-direct teaching based on constructivist learning (IDTBCL): boiling and evaporation

    Gurses, Ahmet; Gunes, Kubra; Dalga, Tuba; Dogar, Cetin; Alevriadou, A

    In Interactive Direct Teaching Based on Constructivist Learning (IDTBCL), learning is evaluated as an oriented change or a mental passing from comprehending to understanding. The mental transition which will be actualized through the teaching activities in lesson practice of this approach includes creating the awareness of students related to the current concepts, creating a broad mental space including multiple conceptual parts, providing the adaptation of the new information to the previous knowledge through constant contextual communication, and harmonization. Misconceptions on Boiling and Evaporation are frequently encountered. In this study, fifty students studying at a state high school in province of Erzurum were chosen as the sample group. Half of the participants were determined as the control group and the rest as the experimental group. The implementation was performed as a quasi-experimental research design practice in the form of a control group pre-test post-test. A conceptual success test was administrated to the groups before the implementations as the pre-test. According to the results of pre-test, no significant difference between the groups was observed in terms of the conceptual success. After the teaching was accomplished by the same teacher in both groups, a significant difference was determined between the groups according to the post-test results and this difference was associated with the teacher's sense of learning. The significant positive change determined in the experimental group can be attributed to the positive attitude of the student towards this approach. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    A Design Practice For Interactive- Direct Teaching Based On Constructivist Learning (IDTBCL): Dissolution And Solutions

    Gurses, Ahmet; Demiray, Seher; Dogar, Cetin; Uzunboylu, H

    In the interactive direct teaching based on constructivist learning (IDTBCL) is evaluated as a mental transition or an oriented change from understanding (two dimensions) to conception (three dimensions). This approach focuses on a conceptual structure. Dissolution and the solution are subjects of common misconceptions. Therefore, these concepts have been selected as reference ones for the design practice. In this study, participants are fifty students whose are attending at a high school in Turkey. The halves of participants are selected as experimental group and control group, respectively. Pretest-posttest with control group, which is the one of the quasi-experimental research design, was used for applications. In traditional group (control group), the same instructor used behaviorist approach, and the interactive direct instruction based on constructivist learning (IDTBCL) was done in experimental group during two weeks. Before applications, a conceptual test was administrated to the groups as a pretest. According to pretest results, there was no difference between the groups in terms of conceptual achievement. Although teaching in each group is performed by the same instructor, there is a significantly difference between groups related to the instructor's the mentality about learning. The significant positive difference in the experimental group can be attributed to the students' positive attitude toward to the conceptualization and the creation of three-dimensional mental space of the knowledge e.g. about the concepts dissolution and the solution concepts. Accordingly, it may be said that the model of interactive direct teaching-based constructivist learning (IDTBCL) of education in terms of the practice of teacher-centered active learning or meaningful learning can to be an extremely promising approach.

    A New Approach for Learning: Interactive Direct Teaching Based Constructivist Learning (IDTBCL)

    Gurses, Ahmet; Dogar, Cetin; Gunes, Kubra; Alevriadou, A

    A world-wide formal teaching practice related with courses is almost entirely a teacher-led one. Therefore, main problem to be addressed is what will be learners' position in teacher-led applications. Also, a full constructivist change requires a more comprehensive change beyond the grasp of understanding. For this, it is tried to propose a novel model that depends on rearrangement of interactive direct teaching approach on the basis of the constructivist learning In this model named as Interactive Direct Teaching Based on Constructivist Learning (IDTBCL), learning is evaluated as a mental transition or an oriented change from understanding (two dimensions) to conceptualization or conception (three dimensions). In this study, participants are twenty five students whose are attending at Department of Chemistry Education at Ataturk University, in Erzurum, Turkey. Pretest-posttest with no control group, which is a pre-experimental research design, was applied for determining the effectiveness in practice of the model proposed. In Physical Chemistry course the interactive direct instruction based on constructivist was conducted during one term. Before applications, a conceptual questionnaire which contains 10 multiply-choose questions was administrated to this group as a pre-test. According to pretest results, there was no difference in group in terms of conceptual achievement. Although, after applications it was observed that there is a significant positive difference between pre-test and post-test results. This can be attributed to success of the model in terms of the conceptualization and the creation of three-dimensional mental space of the knowledge. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

    Using students’ performance to improve ontologies for intelligent E-learning system

    Icoz, Kutay; Sanalan, Vehbi A.; Cakar, Mehmet Akif; Ozdemir, Esra Benli; Kaya, Sukru

    Ontologies have often been recommended for E-learning systems, but few efforts have successfully incorporated student data to represent knowledge conceptualizations. Defining key concepts and their relations between each other establishes the backbone of our E-learning system. The system guides an individual student through his/her course by evaluating their progress and suggesting instructional material to review based upon their answers. Three main tasks are performed within this framework: building ontologies for the course, measuring a student’s understanding level for the concepts, and making personal suggestions to create an individualized learning environment. This paper presents: the integration of ontologies, assisted with student data, together with an intelligent Recommendation Module for the development of an E-learning system; the comparison and correction adaption of ontology from students’ mind maps; and the assessment of students’ actual weaknesses in comparison to what Recommendation Module suggests. The sample of 127 students, five classrooms, was conveniently selected among seventh grade students of a demographically average school in a major city in Turkey. The students’ achievement was assessed and the scores for different questions were investigated for associations with concepts made in the students’ minds. The results provided significant correlations among scores, and a fit model for the concepts represented by questions. The student suggested model slightly differed from the ontology map from the experts. Based on the data-supported model, the Recommendation Module more accurately determined the students’ learning deficiencies and suggested concepts to be reviewed.

    Criteria for high quality biology teaching: An analysis

    Tasci, Guntay

    This study aims to analyze the process under which biology lessons are taught in terms of teaching quality criteria (TQC). Teaching quality is defined as the properties of efficient teaching and is considered to be the criteria used to measure teaching quality both in general and specific to a field. The data were collected through classroom observations in this study, whose research was collected using a qualitative method. The research contained 21 classroom observations from 5 different biology teachers in 5 different high schools in Ankara, Turkey. The classes involved differing topics taught in 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th grades. The data first underwent the structured content analysis using the MAXqda program. The encoding numbers for the codes in the data were transferred into the MS Excel program and were used to make quantitative analyses. The classrooms observed were grouped in terms of teaching quality criteria using cluster analysis using the SPSS 19 program. Similar groups, on the other hand, were evaluated according to cognitive structuring and teaching quality. As a result, avoiding the use of various methods, using effective teaching materials, and employing strict classroom management in biology teaching with the study group heavily increased the number of concepts communicated whereas problems in classroom management and classroom atmosphere reduced the concepts, thus influencing cognitive structure in a negative way. Finally, asking deepening questions and evaluative feedback affected cognitive structure in a positive way.
