Instructional designers are the people whose purpose is to provide solutions to ill-defined instructional problems to reach intended learning outcomes in a systematic way. The purpose of this dissertation study is to design and develop an electronic performance support system (EPSS) to support novice instructional designers (NIDs) in instructional system design process. The study also aims to reveal the key elements of an EPSS if it is designed to help novice instructional designers. A design and development research was carried out in this study and qualitative approaches were used to collect data during this study. Purposively selected 23 NIDs participated in this study. It is three-cycle design and development study including analysis, design, implementation and redesign in each phases in line with analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation (ADDIE) model. Throughout the first and second phases of this study, an EPSS was designed and developed. After that in the final phase this EPSS was evaluated by the NIDs. Results of this study showed that tutorials, examples, resources, tools, wizard, user interface, database and help are the main components of an EPSS that designed for instructional designers. Moreover, according to perceptions of NIDs, using EPSS during instructional system design process has a positive effect of NIDs performances. This dissertation study concludes with suggestions for practitioners and researchers.

Development and evaluation of a technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) assessment tool for preservice teachers learning to teach english as a foreign language
Başer, Derya; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2015)
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) assessment tool for preservice teachers learning to teach English as a foreign language (EFL). The assessment tool, called TPACK-EFL survey, was developed and evaluated through tool development research by using mixed methods approach. Survey items were generated by using qualitative data. Content validity of the survey was maintained through expert reviews and a cognitive interview. Then, construct va...
A Proposal of an instructional design model for gamified learning environments: Geld model
Aldemir, Tuğçe; Kaplan Akıllı, Göknur; Yükseltürk, Erman; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2015)
This study is an attempt to develop an instructional design model for gamified learning environments. It is hoped that the model developed in this study could be used as a guide in designing a gamified instructional environment. The main contention of the study is that combining the methods of the traditional teaching with the methods made possible by the computer age would open up new possibilities to enhance the motivations of learners. Technological changes since the last decade of the 20th century has g...
Supporting students’ scientific argumentation in technology-enhanced learning environments : distribution of scaffolds
Üstünel, Hale Havva; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2013)
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 or...
Exploration of instructional design process and experience of novice instructional designers through the framework of activity theory : a case study in an instructional design course
Karakuş, Türkan; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2011)
Contextual issues have considerable role on learning outcomes of instructional design process. In this dissertation study, an instructional multimedia design and development course was explored to understand how contextual issues influence the experience and processes of Novice Instructional Designers’ (NIDs) activities in an instructional design project. The main participants of the study were 47 junior Computer Education and Instructional Technology students who were enrolled in the course. Besides, 26 st...
How a computer education teacher utilizes an online learning environment
Durdu, Levent; Özden, Muhammet Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2010)
The purpose of this study is to examine in detail how a computer education teacher utilizes an online learning environment. The study tries to explore how a computer education teacher uses information technologies in classroom instruction, which methods s/he uses during integration process of the online learning environment, how s/he solves the problems s/he faced and his/her expectations from an online learning environment. Furthermore, based on the experiences of the computer education teacher use of onli...
