The purpose of this study is to delve into the teachers' experiences of hands-on e-textiles projects and identify the dynamics holding the pillars of an educational STEAM camp. A STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) program was prepared and then applied in two camps with two different science teachers who gathered from schools located in various districts. The interviews with teachers were triangulated with observations, camp evaluation forms, surveys, and design artifacts. The qualitative and quantitative data analysis shed light on five themes: experiences and opinions, expectations and satisfaction, perceived benefits, challenges, and suggestions. The results of this study have important implications for those (individuals and institutions) interested in using e-textiles focused STEAM camps as a means of supporting interdisciplinary learning.

DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF E-TEXTILE SUPPORTED STEAM-BASED ACTIVITIES FOR THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACHERS Şat, Mustafa; Kaplan, Göknur; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2023-1-06) This study aims to explore the design principles for an e-textile-based STEAM training program, to examine the design, development, and usability issues of the STEAM activities, and to investigate the extent to which science teachers can apply STEAM training camp results in their courses. Design-based research was adopted for the study. After a few rounds of piloting with different samples, a STEAM module with seven hands-on activities was prepared and then applied to two independent groups of science teach...
The effect of conceptual change instruction on understanding of ecology concepts Çetin, Gülcan; Ertepınar, Hamide; Nakiboğlu, Canan; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2003) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of conceptual change text oriented instruction accompanied by demonstrations in small groups (CCTI) on ninth grade students̕ achievement and understanding levels of ecology, attitudes towards biology, and attitudes towards environment. The instruments used in this study were the Test of Ecological Concepts (TEC), the Attitude Scale towards Biology (ASB), the Attitude Scale towards Environment (ASE), and the Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT). All data we...
The Effects of a professional development program on physics teachers’ classroom practices Oktay, Özlem; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2015) The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of a professional development (PD) program on in-service physics teachers’ classroom practices. Changes in teachers’ practices were investigated in terms of four dimensions: content/skill/ misconception, teaching strategy, material/technology, and assessment. Qualitative research methodology was used in the study, and a case study was combined with action research. Data were collected from seven participating teachers (1 male, 6 female) and their 9th grade ...
The Use of immediate feedback system in college classrooms: a multiple case study İslim, Ömer Faruk; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2015) The purpose of this study is to investigate the usage of a student response system, which was designed in line with the needs and suggestions of faculty members, in college classrooms in order to facilitate teaching and learning process. For this purpose a prototype system was designed, developed, and then piloted by four faculty members. The prototype was redesigned based on the input from these four faculty members. The actual data of the study were collected from three different classes of three differen...
Psikodrama grup yaşantısının rehberlik ve psikolojik danışmanlık öğrencilerinin öz-duyarlık düzeylerine etkisi Bakalım, Orkide; Yörük, Canan; Şensoy, Gözde (2018-07-01) Bu araştırmanın amacı psikodrama grup yaşantısının rehberlik ve psikolojik danışmanlık lisans 4. Sınıf öğrencilerinin öz-duyarlık düzeylerine etkisini ve bu yaşantıya ilişkin öğrenci görüşlerini belirlemektir. Araştırma, 2016-2017 öğretim yılı bahar döneminde bir devlet üniversitesinde, rehberlik ve psikolojik danışmanlık lisans programında seçmeli ders olarak yer alan “Psikodrama” dersi kapsamında yürütülmüştür. Psikodrama grup yaşantısı her hafta üç ders saati olmak üzere toplam 8 hafta sürmüştür. Kontrol...
