The study investigated the effects of verbal feedback in KP forms and self-evaluation on learning two fundamental basketball skills, dribbling and lay-up, which were novel to the participants (N = 75) who were 4th ا and 5th ا grade level students in a public elementary school. The students were assigned to one of four different treatment groups: (a) control group, (b) verbal feedback group (VF), (c) self-evaluation group (SE), and (d) self-evaluation + verbal feedback group (SE+VF). Students̕ performances on each task were evaluated by two independent observers on a 5-point Likert type scale in which the scores were given from 1 representing very poor to 5 representing very well. During acquisition phase, students were given 14 trials on two separate days. However, for the retention phase, the students were given 4 trials without receiving treatment conditions. The acquisition data were analyzed with a 4 (Group) x 4 (Block) analyses of variance (ANOVA) with repeated measures on the block factor. The retention data were analyzed by, a 4 x 2 (Group x Block) repeated measure ANOVA. In the acquisition phase, subjects in the control, VF, and SE+ VF groups performed significantly better than those in the SE group in both dribbling and lay-up tasks F (3,71) = 8.72, p < .05 and F (3,71) = 7.05, p < .01 respectively. However, in the retention phase, performance scores of the tasks for the students in VF group surpassed the other experimental groups F (3,71) = 9.42, p < .05. and F (3,71) = 4.02, p < .05 respectively.

Effect of conceptual change approach accompanied with concept mapping on understanding of solution concepts
Kondakçı, Esen; Geban, Ömer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of conceptual change texts accompanied with concept mapping instruction, compared to traditional instruction (TI), on 8th grade students' understanding of solution concepts and their attitudes toward science as a school subject. Solution Concept Test was developed as a result of examination of related literature and interviews with teachers regarding their observations of students' difficulties. The test was administered to a total of 64 eighth grade s...
The influence of thematic instruction on the motivation of upper-intermediate preparatory school students of English for Academic Purposes (EAP) at METU
Olgun, Alison Alev; Yemenici, Alev; Department of English Language Teaching (2004)
This research inquires into whether the motivation of students learning English for Academic Purposes (EAP) at the upper-intermediate level improves when thematic instruction is employed in the classroom. This is the first time that a theme-based integrated skills approach was implemented at the Department of Basic English (DBE), METU at the intermediate and upper-intermediate levels. With the outcome of the needs analysis carried out by the administration, it was realized that students at the preparatory s...
The comparative effects of prediction/discussion-based learning cycle, conceptual change text, and traditional instructions on students’ genetics understanding and self-regulated learning
Yılmaz, Diba; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Educational Sciences (2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparative effects of prediction/discussion-based learning cycle (HPD-LC), conceptual change text (CCT), and traditional instructions (TI) on 8th grade students’ understanding of genetics concepts and on their perceived motivation and perceived use of learning strategies. This study was carried out during 2006-2007 fall semester at a public elementary school in Ankara. A total of eighty-one 8th grade students from three intact classes were involved in the qu...
Pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ self-regulated learning strategies within the context of their teaching practices
Kurt, Gönül; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Education (2011)
The current study seeks to investigate pre-service elementary mathematics teachers’ (PEMTs’) self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies within the context of their teaching practices in the field work. It was aimed to explore the SRL processes and strategies of four PEMTs while preparing mathematics lessons at their practice schools. In addition to PEMTs’ SRL strategies, the changes and adaptations through their teaching practices and reasons of those changes were also examined in the study. In total 22 pre-i...
Promoting students' learning in genetics with the learning cycle
Dogru-Atay, Pinar; Öztekin, Ceren (Informa UK Limited, 2008-03-01)
The authors investigated the comparative effect of the learning cycle and expository instruction on 8th-grade students' achievement in genetics. They adopted the nonequivalent control group design as a type of quasiexperimental design. The experimental group (N = 104) received learning cycle instruction, and the control group (N = 109) received expository instruction. The 2-way analysis of covariance indicated a statistically significant posttreatment difference between the experimental and control groups i...
