This structural equation modeling study aimed to investigate both direct and indirect relations between metacognition and geometrical knowledge. The model was tested using data from tenth grade secondary school students (N = 923). It was used to estimate and test the hypothesized effects of two metacognitive constructs (knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition) on three knowledge constructs (declarative, conditional, and procedural knowledge) together with the interrelationships among these three knowledge constructs. Major findings from the model indicated: (a) a reciprocal relationship existed among declarative, conditional, and procedural knowledge; (b) knowledge of cognition had a positive direct effect on procedural knowledge and a significant but negative direct effect on declarative knowledge; and (c) regulation of cognition had a positive direct effect on declarative knowledge and a significant but negative direct effect on procedural knowledge.

Predicting undergraduate students' mathematical thinking about derivative concept: A multilevel analysis of personal and institutional factors Aydin, Utkun; Ubuz, Behiye (Elsevier BV, 2014-05-01) This cross-sectional study examines the determinants of mathematical thinking aspects at two levels: within-classroom level and between-classroom level. We hypothesized that personal factors (gender, socioeconomic status (parents' educational attainment), current cumulative grade point average, prior mathematic achievement (high school mathematics achievement)) and institutional factors (faculty/school affiliation, grade level) have concomitant associations with students' mathematical thinking about the der...
Paths from fear of death to subjective well-being : a study of structural equation modeling based on the terror management theory perspective Şimşek, Ömer Faruk; Aydın, Gül; Department of Educational Sciences (2005) In this research four models derived from Terror Management Theory (TMT) were tested by using structural equation modeling.. These models were developed for testing different theoretical alternatives in relation to psychological mechanisms explaining the subjective well-being as an outcome of fear of death. The first two models were based on the original Terror Management Theory. The first supposed that death anxiety as a catalyst motivates individuals in two defenses: developing culturally committed person...
Effect of conceptual change approach accompanied with concept mapping on understanding of solution concepts Kondakçı, Esen; Geban, Ömer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-07-01) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of conceptual change texts accompanied with concept mapping instruction, compared to traditional instruction (TI), on 8th grade students' understanding of solution concepts and their attitudes toward science as a school subject. Solution Concept Test was developed as a result of examination of related literature and interviews with teachers regarding their observations of students' difficulties. The test was administered to a total of 64 eighth grade s...
The Role of Gender, Attachment Dimensions, and Family Environment on Loneliness Among Turkish University Students Demirli, Aylin; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2014-06-01) The purpose of the present study was to investigate the predictive value of gender, attachment dimensions and family environment in explaining loneliness among students. The study included 473 students (281 females, 192 males) from Ankara University. The UCLA Loneliness Scale, Family Environment Assessment Scale and Experiences in Close Relationships - Revised Questionnaire were administered to all participants. The results of the regression analyses demonstrated that the avoidance dimension of attachment a...
The relationship between vicarious experience, social persuasion, physiological state, and chemistry self-efficacy: The role of mastery experience as a mediator Çapa Aydın, Yeşim; Kondakçı, Esen (Wiley, 2018-12-01) Using social cognitive theory as a theoretical framework, the current study examined the mediating role of mastery experience between other sources (vicarious experience, social persuasion, and physiological state) and chemistry self-efficacy for cognitive skills, which can be defined as students' beliefs in their capabilities to successfully perform intellectual operations in chemistry. Data were collected from 397 high school students through the High School Chemistry Self-Efficacy Scale and Sources of Se...
