The primary purpose of this research is to shed light on the strength and direction of the relationship between community of inquiry and online self-regulated learning of adult learners enrolled in online Information Technologies Certificate Program (ITCP). This program which is carried out with the collaboration of Continuing Education Center and Computer Engineering Department in Middle East Technical University (METU) embodies synchronous and asynchronous communication methods over the Internet. In line with the aforementioned purpose, three research questions are addressed. In the first question, it is investigated that to what extent learners’ characteristics and COI presence predict their online self-regulated learning. In the second question, on the other side, it is explored that to what extent learners’ characteristics and self-regulated learning predict their COI presences. The sample includes 92 participants who enrolled in this online program in 2014-2015. A quantitative data collection method is used by employing survey technique. The major findings acquired from Spearman’s Correlation, Pearson Correlation Analyses and Multiple Regression Analyses revealed that demographic variables including age and gender did not show any statistically significant correlation with both online self-regulated learning and community of inquiry presences. However, three presences: teaching presence, cognitive presence and social presence were found positively correlated with each other and self-regulated learning and its subscales, except environment structuring, displayed statistically significant, positive correlation with three presences. Finally, Multiple Regression Analyses unveiled that self-regulated learning was explained by higher levels of social presence. Similarly, social presence was significantly predicted by self-regulated learning and its subscales including task strategies, time management, help-seeking and self-evaluation.

An assesment of an on-line course environment based on the perceptions of students and the instructor : a case study
Gürbüz, Tarkan; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2004)
The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that contribute to online collaboration in a web-based course by investigating the impact and the potential of an online learning environment in terms of both the students' and instructor̕s perceptions about learner benefits, learner support, motivation, computer mediated communication, and group work. A mixed methods case study design was thought to be appropriate to match the purpose of the study, thus a combination of components normally found in descr...

Identification of factors affecting integration of information and communication technologies in basic education schools grades from 4 through 8
Şendurur, Polat; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2012)
The purpose of the study was to identify the factors affecting the information and communication technologies. integration in the basic education schools. Mixed Model Research Design was utilized to find out the factors directly affecting integration of ICT integration in schools of K-8. Three different research methods were use sequentially. In the first step, new curricula used for Math, Social Studies and Science and Technology courses were examined to draw the pattern of ICT use defined by these curricu...
