The aim of this study is to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of Achievement Goal Scale (AGS) originally constructed by Elliot and McGregor (2001) and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Scale (MSLQ) originally constructed by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia and McKeachie (1991) in order to measure the self-regulated learning skills of high school student's in a chemistry course. The study group was comprised of 862 high school students attending a chemistry course in different public schools. The construct validity of the sub-scales included in the scales were tested by confirmatory factor analysis. For the reliability studies, the internal consistency coefficient Cronbach's alpha (alpha) values as well as McDonald's omega (omega) coefficients were calculated. In addition, item-total correlations were calculated for the reliability of each item in the scales. When the confirmatory factor analysis results were examined, it was accepted that the fit indices met the goodness of fit criteria for both the Achievement Goal Scale and Motivated Strategies for Learning Scale. Factor loadings of the items in both scales were statistically significant. These results showed that the Turkish forms of both scales have enough psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability for a chemistry course.

Self-Regulated Learning and Perceived Health Among University Students Participating in Physical Activity Classes McBride, Ron E.; Hürmeriç Altunsöz, Irmak; Su, Xiaoxia; Xiang, Ping; DEMİRHAN, GIYASETTİN (2016-03-01) The purpose of this study was to explore motivational indicators of self-regulated learning (SRL) and the relationship between self-regulation (SR) and perceived health among university students enrolled in physical activity (PA) classes. One hundred thirty-one Turkish students participating in physical education activity classes at two universities completed questionnaires assessing motivational regulations and perceived health. Qualitative comments about why students enrolled in their physical education a...
Exploring representation of nature of science aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks Esmer, Feyza; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2011) The aim of this study was to examine the representation of Nature of Science (NOS) aspects in 9th grade chemistry textbooks. Two textbooks nation-wide used are analyzed, one of them is written in Turkish the other in English. These textbooks were written according to 2008-2009 education program’s curriculum. A qualitative oriented approach was employed and ethnographic content analysis was used as the methodological framework for this research as Irez (2006) has performed. Data were analyzed by means of boo...
Exploring Relationships among Students Learning Approach, Motivational Goals,and Achievement Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Ertepınar, Hamide (2007-04-15) The purposes of this study were to investigate the relationship among students’ learning approach, motivational goals, previous semester science grades and their achievement in atom and periodic table concepts and explore how well do the learning approach, motivational goal and students’ previous semester science grades predict students’ achievement. The surveys of this study were administered to 416 students enrolled in seventh grade elementary schools located in Ankara, Turkey. Correlational analysis ...
ADAPTATION CHALLENGES OF NOVICE TEACHERS ÖZTÜRK, MUSTAFA; Yıldırım, Ali (2013-01-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate adaptation challenges of novice teachers during induction period. Through a questionnaire prepared in a cross-sectional descriptive design, the data were collected from 465 novice teachers teaching in randomly selected 8 provinces of Turkey. The results indicated that novice teachers had both job-related challenges and social challenges. The most frequent adaptation challenges were related to (1) workload, (2) social status and identity, (3) supervisors (school p...
Mode-method interaction: the effects of inquıry vs. expository and blended vs. face-to-face instruction on 9th grade students’ achievement in, scıence process skills in and attitudes towards physics Çetin, Ali; Özdemir, Ömer Faruk; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2013) The purpose of this study is to find out the main effects of instructional modes (blended and face-to-face), teaching methods (inquiry and expository) and the interaction effects between them on 9th grade students’ physics achievements, science process skills, and attitudes towards physics. To achieve this purpose, 2x2 factorial design with four treatment groups were constructed, blended inquiry (W-INQU), blended expository(W-EXPO), face-to-face inquiry (INQU), and face-to-face expository (EXPO). Two web en...
