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 components of metacognition (knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition). Regression analyses showed that the regulation of cognition component of metacognition and mastery goal orientation were the best predictors of students' achievement under consequential test condition. However, under nonconsequential test conditions, regulation of cognition lost its predictive power and mastery goal orientation and task value became the main reasons for students' engagement with the task.

Effect of constructed web-supported instruction on achievement related to research methods Emmungil, Levent; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) This study examined the effect of constructed web-supported instruction on students̕ achievement related to research methods. Also, in this study, constructed web site was tracking the activities of students, namely entrance and exit time, logs of each entrance to the tests as well as the results of each entrance, and posts to the forum. Another intention of the study was to construct a web support system for traditionally offered courses in order to decrease both instructor and students efforts to communic...
Effect of instruction supplied with the investigative-oriented laboratory approach on achievement in a science course Ertepinar, H; Geban, Ömer (Informa UK Limited, 1996-12-01) This study examines the differential effectiveness of the laboratory method based on the investigative approach and the worksheet study, both used as a supplement to the regular class work on achievement in science subject-matter.
