The purpose of this study was to develop a Meta-Affective Trait Scale (MATS) to measure the meta-affective inclinations related to emotions that students have while they are studying for their classes. First, a pilot study was performed with 380 10th-grade students. Results of the exploratory factor analysis supported a two-factor structure of the MATS, with 17 items and two dimensions (affective awareness and affective regulation). Second, in the validation study, the confirmatory factor analysis was carried out using data from 359 11th-grade students. Satisfactory fit indices were obtained, providing evidence for the reliability and validity of the scale. Finally, for further evidence, a correlational analysis was run. Results indicated positive and significant correlations between learning strategies and self-efficacy and the dimensions of the MATS. Consequently, the MATS can be employed by both researchers and teachers to assess students' meta-affective inclinations. (C) 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of problem-based learning on the elementary students' achievement in genetics Araz, Gülsüm; Sungur, Semra; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2007) The purpose of the study is to investigate the relative effect of problem-based learning (PBL) and traditionally designed science instruction (TDSI) on students’ academic achievement and performance skills in the unit of genetics after controlling for students’ prior knowledge, prior performance skills, reasoning ability, and learning approach. The sample consisted of 192 eight grade students from a public elementary school in Ankara. Four classes instructed by two science teachers were randomly assigned as...
The Effect of project based learning oriented instruction on students’ understanding of human circulatory system concepts and attitude toward biology / Cömert, Gülsüm Gül; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014) The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of project based learning oriented instruction (PBLOI) on 11th grade students’ achievement in human circulatory system concepts and their attitudes toward biology as a school subject when compared to traditional designed biology instruction (TDBI). Seventy two 11th grade students from two classes in a public high school in Ankara participated in this study in the second semester of 2008-2009. These classes were randomly assigned as control and experimental g...
The effect of multiple intelligences based instruction on students physics achievement Gürçay, Deniz; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2003) The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the Multiple Intelligences based instruction versus traditional instruction on ninth grade students' physics achievement. MI inventory, Attitude Scale Toward the Content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, Multiple Choice Physics Achievement test on the content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, and MI based Physics Achievement rubric were used as measuring tools. The study was conducted with 268 ninth grade public high school students in Sincan district in the spring semester 2002-20...
The role of the argumentation-based laboratory on the development of pre-service chemistry teachers' argumentation skills Kondakçı, Esen; Sarıcı, Esra; Soysal, Ceren; Kılınç, Selçuk (2021-01-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate the development of pre-service chemistry teachers' (PCTs') argumentation skills in a laboratory course throughout a semester. A case study design was utilised. A total of six PCTs participated in the study. To investigate the development of PCTs' argumentation skills, the laboratory reports that were in the form of science writing heuristic and pre and post semi-structured interviews were employed. Results showed that PCTs' argumentation skills developed over tim...
The effects of 5e learning cycle model based on constructivist theory on tenth grade students’ understanding of acid-base concepts Kılavuz, Yeliz; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007) The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of 5E learning cycle model based on constructivist theory approach over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on ninth grade students’ understanding of acid-base concepts. Sixty tenth grade students from two classes of a chemistry course taught by the same teacher in Ankara Atatürk Anatolian High School 2004-2005 spring semester were enrolled in the study. The classes were randomly assigned as control and experimental groups. Students in...
