The main aim of this research was to employ bibliometric analysis methods to understand the general trends of peer-reviewed educational articles indexed under the subject areas of “education and educational research” Web of Science bibliometric databases that is the first and well-known bibliometric databases, between 1968 and 2015. This study analyzed a total of 10,729 documents 6,644 of which were articles based on the journal of publication, author institutional affiliation, and co-author collaboration. The current research applied a modified version of the method used by Zancanaro, Todesco, and Ramos (2015). This method has two main steps: (1) Collecting, filtering, and data standardization (2) Data analysis and synthesis The results showed that when looking at the annual distribution of the published articles, incentive programs have been shown to be helpful as a means to improving the volume of articles. In summary, 50% of the articles originated from 15 universities v and the majority of published journals have an impact value below 1,00. Of the 10% articles were based on authors having collaborated with a researcher whose affiliate address is located outside of Turkey. The United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Germany were the countries most collaborated with by Turkish academics in their educational research.

Content analysis of physics education studies published in Turkish Science Education Journal from 2004 to 2011 Önder Çelikkanlı, Nuray; Oktay, Özlem; Eraslan, Funda; Gülçiçek, Çağlar; Göksu, Volkan; Kanlı, Uygar; Eryılmaz, Ali; Güneş, Bilal (2013-04-01) This study investigates research trends in articles about physics education in Journal of Turkish Science Education (TUSED) by using content analysis method. There were 125 studies published between 2004 and 2011, and 46 studies related to physics education have been determined. The research trends in these 46 articles have been examined in terms of demographic properties of authors (gender, institution, number of authors, etc.), general themes and physics topics, research methods, sampling procedures and s...
Ulusal fen bilimleri ve matematik eğitimi kongrelerindeki fizik eğitimi çalışmalarının içerik analizi Kanlı, Uygar; Gülçiçek, Çağlar; Göksu, Volkan; Önder Çelikkanlı, Nuray; Oktay, Özlem; Eraslan, Funda; Eraslan, Funda; Eryılmaz, Ali; Güneş, Bilal (2014-02-01) Bu çalışma; fizik eğitimindeki araştırma eğilimlerini belirlemek için, 1994-2012 yılları arasında Ulusal Fen Bilimleri ve Matematik Eğitimi Kongrelerinde tam metni basılan fizik eğitimi çalışmalarını içerik analizi yöntemi ile incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda; taranan 735 çalışmadan 282 çalışma, yazarların demografik özellikleri (sayısı, cinsiyeti, bağlı olduğu kurum vb.), genel çalışma temaları, çalışılan fizik konuları, araştırma yöntemleri, örnekleme yöntem ve sayıları, veri toplama araçl...
PROGRESSIVE CLUSTERING OF MANIFOLD-MODELED DATA BASED ON TANGENT SPACE VARIATIONS Gokdogan, Gokhan; Vural, Elif (2017-09-28) An important research topic of the recent years has been to understand and analyze manifold-modeled data for clustering and classification applications. Most clustering methods developed for data of non-linear and low-dimensional structure are based on local linearity assumptions. However, clustering algorithms based on locally linear representations can tolerate difficult sampling conditions only to some extent, and may fail for scarcely sampled data manifolds or at high-curvature regions. In this paper, w...
Implementation of Education for Sustainability in Turkish Pre-Service Teachers' Practicum Alici, Sule; Alan, Havva Ayça (2022-01-01) In this study, we explored early childhood education pre-service teachers' (ECEPTs') understanding and pedagogical application of education for sustainability (EfS) by critically analyzing EfS implementation during ECEPTs' practicum. The study examined the challenges and critical aspects of EfS practices in the practicum, and the relationships among mentor teachers, academic mentors, and ECEPTs. A multiple case study methodology was employed involving two purposefully distinct universities with 14 participa...
Anthropological analysis of graphic content knowledge pre-service elementary mathematics teachers Akar, Nazlı (null; 2017-05-19) The purpose of this study is to analyse the content knowledge on graphs of pre-service elementary mathematics teachers from an anthropological perspective. 112 pre-service elementary mathematics teachers participated in the study. Concentric mixed pattern research method has been used in the study. The data was collected through Graphic Content Knowledge Scale and interview method in order to examine the content knowledge of primary school math teacher candidates related to graphics anthropologically. This ...
