Over the twenty years, researchers and practitioners have developed technology tools and designed technology-enhanced learning environments to support and teach argumentation. Relevantly, Kim et al. (2007) presented a pedagogical framework to provide a valid technology-enhanced learning environment. The purpose of this design-based study was to investigate micro context dimension of this framework and to analyze the interactions between student-tool, teacher-student, and teacher-tool. In this respect, in order to understand how they balance the roles in a technology-enhanced learning environment, the effect of various scaffolds on forty-one middle school students’ argumentation in a technology-enhanced learning environment and the distribution of scaffolds between teacher and the technology tool were analyzed. The results of the study showed that students benefited from the use of hints, sentence starters, and question prompts. Moreover, teacher support was important and led students to develop their ability in constructing arguments with claim, ground, backing, warrants and in some cases more sophisticated ones using rebuttals as in Toulmin’s framework. The study presents guidelines and strategies for designing scaffolds in technology-enhanced learning environment to facilitate students’ learning and argumentation.

Teknoloji ile zenginleştirilmiş öğrenme ortamlarında öğrencilerin bilimsel argümantasyonuna rehberli öğrenme desteği sağlanması Üstünel, Hale Havva; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba (2017-01-01) Yirmi yıl boyunca araştırmacılar ve uygulayıcılar, argümantasyonu desteklemek ve öğretmek amacıyla teknoloji araçları geliştirmiş ve teknoloji ile zenginleştirilmiş öğrenme ortamları (TELE’ler) tasarlamıştır. İlgili olarak, Kim-Hannafin vd. (2007), geçerli bir TELE3sağlamak amacıyla pedagojik bir çerçeve sunmuştur. Tasarıma dayanan bu çalışmanın amacı, bu çerçevenin mikro bağlam boyutunu araştırmak ve öğrenci-araç, öğretmen-öğrenci ve öğretmen-araç arasındaki etkileşimleri analiz etmekti. Bu bakımda...
Investigation of pre-service teachers’ mobile learning readiness levels and mobile learning acceptance levels İlçi, Ahmet; Yıldırım, Zahide; Yükseltürk, Erman; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2014) Developments in information technologies have increased the use of mobile devices in the educational environments. The purpose of this study is to investigate mobile learning readiness level and mobile learning acceptance level of pre-service teachers in Faculty of Education in Middle East Technical University with respect to Unified Theory of Acceptance Model. Sequential explanatory mixed method research design was employed. Quantitative data for study were collected from 561 undergraduate students from se...
Exploring the use of open educational resources in chemistry laboratory course context: a case study Tısoğlu, Seçil; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Kurşun, Engin; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2017) The first purpose of this study is to provide a detailed perspective for the use and integration of Open Educational Resources (OER) into chemistry laboratory courses through the students’, faculty members’ and teaching assistants’ perspective. Specifically, the factors affected the use and integration of OERs into general laboratory course context through systemic perspective was explained in detailed. The second purpose of this study is to present the impact of these resources on users’ perceived performa...
ICT Teachers Professional Growth Viewed interms of Perceptions about Teaching andCompetencies Çakır, Recep; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner (2013-03-01) Technology integration into the classroom has a major role in creating rich learning and teaching environments. It is obvious that the success of the effective use of technology in classrooms highly depends on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) teachers who are responsible for integrating technology and mentoring other teachers in using it successfully. However, it is unclear how ICT teachers play a role for the achievement of the integration process and what challenges they experience during th...
Blended Learning in a Speaking Skills Course Balbay, Seher (null; 2017-11-25) Technological advancements and their growing impact in education have started to modify the structure and the required environments for learning settings. In order to benefit from technological innovations and minimize the present problems, such as the increasing number of students taught by a limited number of instructors, and time constraints allocated to actual speaking practice in speakingoriented courses, a blended learning platform is planned to be launched in Middle East Technical University in the s...
