This study examined the effectiveness of a hybrid instruction in terms of students̕ achievement, knowledge retention, and attitudes towards course content and course satisfaction. An in-depth analysis was done to understand students̕ perceptions about the effective domains of interactive learning, which included pedagogical philosophy, learning theory, goal orientation, task orientation, source of motivation, teacher role, metacognitive support, collaborative learning, and structural flexibility of a hybrid course. In this study quantitative and qualitative research methodologies were used in conjunction. Experimental study was carried out to understand if there is a significant difference between the hybrid course and the traditional course in terms of students̕ achievement, retention, satisfaction, and attitude. Qualitative analysis was done to understand students̕ perceptions about the effective dimensions of interactive learning. The subjects of this study were 50 students in a أComputer Networks and Communicationؤ course, offered by the Computer Education and Instructional Technologies Department of METU. The control and experimental groups consisted of 24 and 26 students respectively. The students in the experimental group were interviewed one on one at the end of the treatment. The quantitative findings of the study indicated no significant difference between the hybrid course and the traditional course in terms of students̕ achievement, retention, satisfaction, and attitude. The qualitative findings of this study showed that the amount of information supplied in the course web-site, need for metacognitive support, authentic learning activities and collaboration, type and source of motivation, individualized learning and access to internet played important roles in students̕ learning in the hybrid course.

Effectiveness of conceptual change instruction accompaniedwith demonstrations and computer assisted concept mapping on students' understanding of matter concepts Yavuz, Ayşe; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2005) The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of conceptual change instruction accompanied with demonstration and computer assisted concept mapping on seventh grade students understanding matter concepts. In addition, the effect of instruction on students̕ attitudes toward science as a school subject and the effect of gender difference on understanding matter concepts were investigated. Seventy five, seventh grade students from four classes of a General Science Course taught by the sam...
Impact of Content Knowledge on Pedagogical Content Knowledge in the Context of Cell Division Şen, Mehmet; Öztekin, Ceren (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) This study focused on how science teachers' content knowledge influences their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) with respect to the topic of cell division. The data were collected from 3 in-service teachers using interviews; observations; and teacher-provided documents, including written-answer exams. The participants' content knowledge was analyzed by inductive coding with respect to conceptual understanding, whereas their PCK was analyzed by within-case analysis followed by cross-case analysis to show ...
Using mobile communication tools in web based instruction Avenoğlu, Bilgin; Özden, M. Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2005) This thesis investigates the perceptions of students about using mobile communication tools in web-based instruction. A mobile learning portal that can be used by different mobile devices was designed for this purpose. This portal included a mobile discussion forum and a course information system. Sixty undergraduate and five graduate students from METU/CEIT department used this portal as a supportive learning activity in three different courses throughout two-three, and four-week periods. The discussion su...
Effect of instruction supplied with the investigative-oriented laboratory approach on achievement in a science course Ertepinar, H; Geban, Ömer (Informa UK Limited, 1996-12-01) This study examines the differential effectiveness of the laboratory method based on the investigative approach and the worksheet study, both used as a supplement to the regular class work on achievement in science subject-matter. Subjects were 43 students (8th grade) enrolled in two science classes of a secondary school. Each teaching strategy was randomly assigned to one class. The experimental group utilized supplementary instruction through the investigative-oriented activities; the control group receiv...
Effect of constructed web-supported instruction on achievement related to research methods Emmungil, Levent; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) This study examined the effect of constructed web-supported instruction on students̕ achievement related to research methods. Also, in this study, constructed web site was tracking the activities of students, namely entrance and exit time, logs of each entrance to the tests as well as the results of each entrance, and posts to the forum. Another intention of the study was to construct a web support system for traditionally offered courses in order to decrease both instructor and students efforts to communic...
