Design and development of a technology enhanced hybrid instruction based on MOLTA model: Its effectiveness in comparison to traditional instruction

2008-08-01
Using the model for learning and teaching activities (MOLTA), a new technology enhanced hybrid instruction was designed, developed and implemented. The effectiveness of the hybrid instruction in regard to students' achievement, knowledge retention, attitudes towards the subject, and course satisfaction was evaluated in comparison to traditional classroom instruction. Experimental study with pre-test, post-test control group design was carried out. The sample of the study consisted of 50 university students enrolled in "Computer Networks and Communication" course. The control and experimental groups composed of 24 and 26 students respectively, and the experiment lasted 14 weeks. The findings of the study indicated no significant difference between the hybrid course and the traditional course in students' achievement, knowledge retention, satisfaction, and attitude.

Fındık, Duygu; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi; Department of Information Systems (2010)
Through the rapid expansion of information technologies, Learning Management Systems have become one of the most important innovations for delivery of education. Successful implementation and management of these systems are primarily based on the instructors' adoption. However, too few researches have been conducted to evaluate instructors’ adoption towards e-learning system as taking higher education as base. This study aims to understand behavioral intentions of higher education instructors towards Learni...
Design and Implementation of a Graduate Course for Development of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge
Çetinkaya Aydın, Gamze; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Elementary Education (2022-9-02)
Following a design-based research approach, the present study aimed to develop a course design named Theory – Application – Practice (T-A-P) and investigate its effectiveness for graduate level students’ development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK). Participants’ views on the T-A-P course design, the change in their perceived competencies and self-efficacy of TPACK, and the change in their TPACK level were investigated to test the effectiveness of the course design. The proposed design...

Design of a problem-based online learning environment and evaluation of its effectiveness
Gündüz, Abdullah Yasin; Alemdağ, Ecenaz; Yaşar, Sevil; Erdem, Mukaddes (2017-07-01)
Problem-based learning approach present several advantages such as improving students’ engagement in learning and fostering their higher-order thinking skills. Although there is a plethora of research regarding implementation of problem-based learning in classrooms, its design and application process for web-based environments need further investigation because of independent nature of online settings. This study developed a problem-based online learning environment based on constructivist learning design m...
