Although formative peer assessment (FPA) has become a prevailing learning activity in different educational settings, there are not enough suggestions on how to structure it with instructional supports in online environments to optimize its benefits. Therefore, this study aims to propose design guidelines for the development of an effective online FPA environment with instructional scaffolds in the context of writing activities at high schools. To this end, an online FPA environment was designed on the basis of an assessment model for regulated learning and teachers' and students' experiences. It was evaluated and refined three times. The formative evaluation findings suggested designing an online FPA environment with preparatory activities, information resources, goal setting and planning, anonymity, criteria form, sustainable and supportive dialog, motivational elements, and an easy-to-use interface. As a result, 11 design guidelines were produced. Overall, this research provides a better understanding of the essential design elements of online FPA environments.

Design of a problem-based online learning environment and evaluation of its effectiveness Gündüz, Abdullah Yasin; Alemdağ, Ecenaz; Yaşar, Sevil; Erdem, Mukaddes (2017-07-01) Problem-based learning approach present several advantages such as improving students’ engagement in learning and fostering their higher-order thinking skills. Although there is a plethora of research regarding implementation of problem-based learning in classrooms, its design and application process for web-based environments need further investigation because of independent nature of online settings. This study developed a problem-based online learning environment based on constructivist learning design m...
Using an online portfolio course in assessing students work Yılmaz, Harun; Çetinkaya, Bülent (2007-01-01) New developments and advancements in informational technology bring about several alternative avenues for educators to select in supporting and evaluating their students’ learning.

Developing a technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) assessment for preservice teachers learning to teach English as a foreign language Baser, Derya; Kopcha, Theodore J.; Özden, Muhammet Yaşar (2016-01-01) This paper reports the development and validation process of a self-assessment survey that examines technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) among preservice teachers learning to teach English as a foreign language (EFL). The survey, called TPACK-EFL, aims to provide an assessment tool for preservice foreign language teachers that addresses subject-specific pedagogies and technologies. Using mixed methods approach, survey items were generated first using qualitative methods (e.g. expert interview...
Designing and Developing Game-Like Learning Experience in Virtual Worlds: Challenges and Design Decisions of Novice Instructional Designers Karakuş Yılmaz, Türkan; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2016) Many virtual worlds have been adopted for implementation within educational settings because they are potentially useful for building effective learning environments. Since the flexibility of virtual worlds challenges to obtain effective and efficient educational outcomes, the design of such platforms need more attention. In the present study, the aim was to investigate design issues and the concerns of novice instructional designers who were developing a virtual learning environment with a gaming approach....
Development of Two Scales Measuring Task Value of Peer Feedback Provision and Reception for Pre-Service Teachers Alemdağ, Ecenaz (2022-09-01) This research aimed to develop two scales measuring pre-service teachers' task value towards peer feedback provision and peer feedback reception (PFR) based on expectancy-value theory. Two studies were conducted to investigate the psychometric properties of the scales with the sample of undergraduate students in teacher education programs. In the first study, exploratory factor analysis for both scales revealed 13 items collected under utility, intrinsic, and attainment value factors. A general task value f...
