The purpose of this study was to investigate the interrelations among 7th grade students’ Science Achievement, self-regulation in science class, perceptions of classroom learning environment, and science teachers’ beliefs and occupational well-being. This was a nationwide cross-sectional study in which 8198 seventh grade students and their 372 science teachers in Turkey participated. Several Hierarchical Linear Modelling analyses were employed to analyze the student-level and teacher-level variables. While student-level variables included Science Achievement, self-regulation in science (i.e., Self-Efficacy, Metacognitive Self-Regulation, Mastery Approach Goals, Mastery Avoidance Goals, Performance Approach Goals, and Performance Avoidance Goals), perceived classroom learning environment (i.e., Student Cohesiveness, Teacher Support, Involvement, Investigation, Task Orientation, Cooperation, and Equity) and Gender, teacher-level variables included science teachers’ beliefs (i.e., Efficacy for Student Engagement, Efficacy for Classroom Management, Efficacy for Instructional Strategies, and Implicit Theories about Ability in Science), occupational well-being (i.e., Emotional Exhaustion, Personal Accomplishment, and Job Satisfaction), Experience, and Gender. It was hypothesized that teacher-level variables had influence on all continuous student-level variables; student-level variables influenced Science Achievement; self-regulation variables mediated the association between classroom learning environment and Science Achievement; and teacher-level variables interacted with student-level variables. Results indicated that perceived classroom learning environment variables were good predictors of students’ cognitive and affective outcomes. Moreover, it was found that students’ self-regulation variables mediated the association between perceived classroom learning environment and Science Achievement. Finally, at the student-level, self-efficacy beliefs in learning science and at the teacher-level science teachers’ self-efficacy for student engagement were found to be best predictors of Science Achievement.

Multilevel Investigation of Students' Self-regulation Processes in Learning Science: Classroom Learning Environment and Teacher Effectiveness
Yerdelen, Sundus; Sungur, Semra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-01-01)
This study aimed to investigate the role of students' classroom learning environment perceptions and teacher effectiveness in 7th grade students' self-regulation in science classes. Students' self-regulation was examined in terms of self-efficacy, achievement goals, and metacognitive strategy use which constitute important components of self-regulation. The relations of students' perceived classroom learning environment (i.e. student cohesiveness, teacher support, involvement, investigation, task orientatio...
Multilevel analysis of students science achievement in relation to constructivist learning environment perceptions, epistemological beliefs, self-regulation and science teachers characteristics
Pamuk, Savaş; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Education (2014)
This study aimed to examine student science achievement in relation to constructivist learning environment perceptions, epistemological beliefs, self-regulation and science teacher characteristics. Data were collected using a battery of instruments administered to both 137 science teachers and their 3281 seventh grade students in Ankara, Turkey. Several Hierarchical Linear Modeling analyses were conducted to analyze the two level-data which were student-level that were self-regulation (i.e., self-efficacy, ...
An analysis of efficacy beliefs, epistemological beliefs and attitudes towards science in preservice elementary science teachers and secondary science teachers
Sünger, Mustafa; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007)
The purpose of the study was to analyze preservice science teachers at elementary science teaching and secondary science teaching with respect to their self efficacy beliefs, epistemological beliefs, and attitudes towards science teaching. Preservice elementary science teachers and preservice secondary science teachers who enrolled in Middle East Technical University in Ankara were the sample of this study. Participants of this study were third grade of preservice elementary science teachers and preservice ...
Integrating STEM Education: Perceived barriers and facilitators
Taşcı, Duygu; Öztekin, Ceren (null; 2017-05-21)
The purpose of this research is to uncover obstacles science teachers face regarding integrating STEM in their science course. Data were mainly gathered from 4 experienced science teachers through in depth interviews. They were also requested to draw a picture of their visualization of STEM and they were asked explain their drawings, data were then analyzed by categorizing barriers avoiding STEM integration. Three categories were emerged as teacher-oriented barriers, students-oriented barriers and situation...
Multilevel analysis of the relationship between school-level variables and student achievement
Oldac, Yusuf Ikbal; Kondakçı, Yaşar (SAGE Publications, 2020-07-01)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between student achievement and a set of school-level variables, including distributed leadership, academic optimism, teacher collaboration and enabling school structure. The study was designed as correlational research. A Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) analysis was conducted with a data set collected from 23,053 students and 426 teachers from 40 randomly selected public schools in Turkey. The data were collected using previously developed sc...
