The current study reports the findings of the first step of a comprehensive performance improvement study, identification of the optimal behaviors. In this sense, this study aims to determine the optimal faculty behaviors in distance education based on the perspectives of the stakeholders based on the framework of transactional distance (TD) theory. The data were obtained from the stakeholders of distance education practices; distance education experts from eight universities, and faculty members, administrators, and students from two universities as well as observations on online courses and available relevant documents. The data from the multiple sources were analyzed through constant comparison method. The emerged codes created the themes based on the TD theory. The findings indicated that the identified behaviors, which are student-centered and interrelated in producing the outcomes, are expected from all faculty at varying degrees in any context to manage TD outcomes. The identified behaviors might be used as the performance objectives in faculty professional development studies and practices in distance education.

Contribution of motivational beliefs and metacognition to students' performance under consequential and nonconsequential test conditions
Sungur, Semra (Informa UK Limited, 2007-04-01)
In this study, the contribution of motivational beliefs and metacognition to students' performance under consequential and nonconsequential test conditions was investigated. Fifty-eight college students participated in the study. A modified version of the Approaches to Learning Instrument, the Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory were used to measure students' motivational beliefs (mastery goal orientation, performance goal orientation, task value, and self-efficacy) and 2 componen...
A Model for Doctoral Students' Perceptions and Attitudes Toward Written Feedback for Academic Writing
Can, Gülfidan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-08-01)
The purpose of this study is to investigate social science doctoral students' perceptions and attitudes toward written feedback about their academic writing and towards those who provide it. The study culminates in an explanatory model to describe the relationships between students' perceptions and attitudes, their revision decisions, and other relevant factors in their written feedback practices. The investigation used a mixed methods approach involving 276 participants from two large mountain west public ...
Analysis of a Content-based Needs Assessment Survey for Physics Teachers
OKTAY, Özlem; Eryılmaz, Ali (Hacettepe University, 2020-04-01)
The purpose of the study is to develop and analyze a content-based needs assessment survey for physics teachers. With this aim, a Teacher Survey on the Nature of Physics (TSNOP) was developed as a measurement instrument for the study. The TSNOP was used to identify inservice physics teachers' needs, wishes, expectations and problems for the Nature of Physics (NOP) unit of a Professional Development Program (PDP). A total of 60 inservice physics teachers participated in the study. TSNOP includes four specifi...
The contribution of cognitive and metacognitive strategy use to seventh grade students' science achievement
Akyol, Gülsüm; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Educational Sciences (2009)
The purposes of the study were to examine the differences in the level of students’ cognitive and metacognitive strategy use and to investigate the contribution of cognitive and metacognitive strategy use (rehearsal, elaboration, organization, critical thinking, and metacognitive self-regulation) to 7th grade students’ science achievement. This study also interested in exploring the relationships between students’ background characteristics (gender, prior knowledge, socioeconomic status) and the variables i...
Using technology in preventing and remedying seventh grade students' misconceptions in forming and solving linear equations
Erek, Görkem; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
The purposes of this study was to investigate seventh-grade students’ misconceptions related to forming and solving equations and examine the role of technology use in preventing and remedying these misconceptions. A group of 18 seventh grade students was given a diagnostic test before they started the equations unit to determine their misconceptions related to the topic. Students studied equations for 6 weeks and half of the instruction took place in the computer lab where they used various electronic mani...
