No full textThe aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of the Education Information Network (EBA) and experimental supported activities on students’ science attitude and 7th grade students’ views about these activities in the teaching of the electrical circuits unit. The research was carried out with 73 students studying at a state secondary school in the Daday district of Kastamonu Province, Turkey in the second semester of the 2018-2019 academic year. Two experimental groups and one control group were randomly selected from school. While the courses of the experimental-1 group were taught with the EBA supported activities, the experimental-2 group were taught with the EBA and experimental activities, the courses of the control group were taught in compliance with the 2018 Science Curriculum. In research, quantitative data were collected with the Science Course Attitude Scale (SCAS) and qualitative data were collected with the Semi-Structured Interview Form (SSIF). As a result of this study, while there was no significant difference between the experimental-1 group and the control group, it was observed that there is a significant difference between experimental-2 group and control group, and experimental-2 group and experimental-1 group. In other words, EBA and experimental-supported teaching improved positively students' attitudes towards the science course. The data obtained from SSIF applied only to six students from the experimental-2 group support this result. Based on the results of the study, science teachers are recommended to do experimental with EBA in their courses
INVESTIGATION OF THE NEW PARADIGM IN EFL USING SYSTEMS APPROACH: A MIXED METHOD DISTANCE EDUCATION PROGRAM EVALUATION STUDY
Get PDFAlthough some education institutions have implemented open education or online education in line with their own needs, distance education did not have national recognition until the pandemic that swept the world at the beginning of 2020. After this date, many education institutions had undergone changes from classical face-to-face education to distance education. For this reason, this simultaneous explanatory mixed method study was conducted to examine the effectiveness and efficiency of distance education program of an English language institution situated in the northern part of Turkey. Five English language instructors and 403 English preparatory students five of whom were also interviewed participated in this study. ‘Distance Education System Evaluation Scale (DESES)’, semi-structured interviews, observational journals and institutional documents are used as data collection tools. The results of quantitative data show that students are mostly satisfied with instructors and least satisfied with the content of the program. Moreover, it is found out that students with higher grades gave high scores to DESES. On the other hand, from the results of qualitative data, while it is understood that the program was criticized negatively in terms of socialization, technical problems, moods, pacing schedule, registration, attendance, feedback, assessment, language skills and distance education pedagogy; positive themes emerged as time and expenses, technical infrastructure, instructors and psychological factors. The results show that there are many issues that need to be considered for distance education implementations and pedagogy
UZBEK LEARNERS' OPINIONS ON THE EFFECT OF DIALECT AND CULTURAL SIMILARITY ON THE PROCESS OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE LEARNING
Get PDFThe aim of this research is to determine the effect of Uzbeks' views towards Turkish language and Turkish culture on language learning processes. In the study, which was designed according to the qualitative research model, a semi-structured interview form was used as a data collection tool. Interviews were held with 33 B1-level Uzbek learners who study Turkish language in language teaching centers affiliated to higher education institutions in Turkey.After the data obtained through semi-structured interviews were transcribed, the researchers carried out coding, categorization and classification according to themes on the raw data. According to the results of the study, it was revealed that Uzbek learners generally had a positive perception of Turkish language learning processes, life in Turkey and Turkish culture, and this situation was directly related to the perception that Turkey provided historical closeness, religion, language, cultural similarity and quality education and life opportunities in today's conditions for Uzbeks.In addition, it was seen that learners developed a positive attitude towards learning because they thought that they were advantageous as speakers of the same language dialects in the language learning process, and they also supported their positive view of language with the facilitating effect of vocabulary and grammatical similarityBu araştırmanın amacı, Özbeklerin Türkçeye ve Türk kültürüne yönelik görüşlerinin dil öğrenme süreçlerine etkisini belirlemektir. Nitel araştırma modeline göre tasarlanan çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Türkiye’de yükseköğretim kurumlarına bağlı dil öğretim merkezlerinde Türkçe öğrenimi gören B1 seviyesindeki 33 Özbek öğrenici ile görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerle elde edilen verilerin yazıya aktarılması işleminin ardından araştırmacılar tarafından ham veriler üzerinde kodlama, kategori oluşturma ve temalara göre tasnif etme işlemleri yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre genellikle Özbek öğrenicilerin Türkçe öğrenme süreçleri ile Türkiye’de yaşam ve Türk kültürüne yönelik algısının pozitif yönde olduğu, bu durumun da Özbekler için Türkiye’nin tarihî yakınlık, din, dil, kültür benzerliği ile günümüz şatlarında kaliteli eğitim ve yaşam imkânı sağladığı algısıyla doğrudan ilişkili olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca dil öğrenme süreçlerinde hem aynı dilin lehçelerinin konuşurları olarak avantajlı olduklarını düşündükleri için öğrenmeye karşı olumlu tutum geliştirdikleri hem de söz varlığı ve gramer benzerliğinin kolaylaştırıcı etkisiyle dile pozitif bakışlarını destekledikleri görülmüştür
INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF INTERVENTIONS USING CONCRETE AND VIRTUAL MANIPULATIVES ON 3 TH GRADE STUDENTS' FRACTION CONCEPT AND MOTIVATION:
Get PDFThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of using concrete and virtual manipulatives relevant fraction subject to 3rd grade students' understanding of fractions and motivation towards mathematics lesson. The study group consists of 61 students studying in three different classes at the 3rd grade level of a private primary school in Turkey. Quantitative research method, pretest and posttest, and a quasi-experimental research design including two experimental and one control group was adopted. The study was carried out by the experimental-1 group with concrete manipulative-assisted training, the experiment-2 group with virtual manipulative-assisted training, and the control group with the traditional teaching in the mathematics curriculum. Data collection tools, the Fraction Comprehension Test (FCT) developed originally with a cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of 0.874 and the Mathematics Lesson Motivation Scale (MLMS) for primary schools was used. One-way MANOVA was used for analysing the data. As far as the research findings; using manipulatives makes a statistically significant difference in the understanding of fractions of 3rd grade students (F(2-60) = 9.171, p<.05), but it was detected that there was not statistically important difference (F(2-60)= 0.163, p>.05) in motivation for mathematics lessons. It is seen that 24% of the change in comprehension is caused by using manipulative. Concrete manipulative using and virtual manipulative using have no superiority in terms of both fraction comprehension and mathematics motivation when compared to each other. It can be suggested that using manipulatives as complementary to each other may give better results
THE EFFECT OF THE WALDORF APPROACH APPLIED WITH THE COOPERATİVE METHOD ON THE EARLY NUMBER ASSESSMENT SKILLS OF 48-60 MONTHS-OLD CHILDREN
Get PDFThe aim of this research is to determine the effect of activities in accordance with the Waldorf approach supported by the cooperative method on the early number assessment skills of 48-60 month old children. The study, which was carried out in accordance with the quasi-experimental design design with the control group, was planned as two activity hours two days a week and was applied for four weeks. The study group of the research consisted of 30 children (13 girls-17 boys) in two different kindergartens in the province of Sivas in the spring semester of 2021-2022. In the study, one of the kindergartens was randomly assigned to the experimental group and the other to the control group. Waldorf education materials and cooperative teaching method were used in the experimental group, while the current practice was continued without intervening in the process in the control group. The "Early Number Evaluation Scale for Children" developed by Yılmaz (2015) was used to obtain the data. The reliability of the scale was determined as 0.985 in the scale development study and as 0.939 in this study. Frequency and percentage analysis of participants' demographic information; In the data obtained from the scale, diagnostic statistics, dependent groups t test, independent groups t test were used. According to the findings obtained in the research; It was determined that the scores of the experimental group increased statistically significantly in the pretest-posttest, posttest-permanence test findings of the research groups. Although there was a slight increase in the scores of the control group, it was concluded that this difference was not at a significant level. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in favor of the experimental group in the comparison of the scores of the research groups from the post-test and retention test
ATTITUDES OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate secondary school students' attitudes and demographic variables (gender, grade level, receiving environmental education, participation in an environmental project' environment and reading books about the environment) that are believed to influence these attitudes. The study was designed using the descriptive survey model and data were collected from 144 fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students in a public school in the central Black Sea region. The data of the research were collected with the "Attitude Scale for Sustainable Development" developed by Kaya (2013). In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics (mean, frequency, percentage, and standard deviation), independent samples T-test, single-factor variance analysis (One-Way ANOVA), Levene's test, Welch's test, and Games-Howell's test were used. As a result of the research, it was determined that the total attitude scores of secondary school students for sustainable development were high. Similarly, it was found that the total attitude scores of the scale for the sub-factors were high. It was found that the overall scores for secondary school students' attitudes towards sustainable development showed a statistically significant difference in favour of the eighth grade in terms of 'grade level'. However, it was found that the total scores of secondary school students' attitude towards sustainable development did not show any significant difference with respect to the variables’ 'gender', 'receiving environmental education', 'participating in an environmental project' and 'reading books about the environment'. It can be concluded that the findings from the study will contribute to the literature to determine the variables that influence secondary school students' attitudes towards sustainable development
