There has been a rapid increase in the number of technology certificate programs offered around the world in the last decade. While designing, developing, and implementing these programs little or no consideration is given to geographical, cultural and developmental differences between different regions of the world. This study investigates the students' success in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) program - a unique model combining technology-supported learning with local instruction world-wide. The purpose of this study is to investigate how demographic, ability, and motivational factors impact student success in different regions of the world when the curriculum and teaching materials are the same for all students and teachers. 368,159 students who completed the technology course from August 2004 to December 2005 in 5,948 academies in 135 countries were examined. Based on ANOVA and regression, results show that prior achievement, technology skills, and degree impact student achievement regardless of regions' developmental level.

Investigation of Fatih Project within the scope of teachers school administrators and yegıtek adminisrators opinions A multiple case study Gök, Ali; Yıldırım, Zahide (Mersin Üniversitesi, 2015-01-01) Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) affected educational environments as well as other areas. Recently, in Turkey, the government has initiated a project, FATİH Project (Movement of Enhancing Opportunities and Improving Technology Project). In this project, some technologies have been installed in K-12 schools all over the country. For the success of the FATİH Projects, not only how teachers perceive those technologies, but also what the school administrators’ and project administrators’ opinio...
Multi-modal learning with generalizable nonlinear dimensionality reduction Kaya, Semih; Vural, Elif; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Thanks to significant advancements in information technologies, people can acquire various types of data from the universe. This data may include multiple features in different domains. Widespread machine learning methods benefit from distinctive features of data to reach desired outputs. Numerous studies demonstrate that machine learning algorithms that make use of multi-modal representations of data have more potential than methods with single modal structure. This potential comes from the mutual agreemen...
Performance comparison of pattern discovery methods on web log data Bayir, Murat Ali; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Coşar, Ahmet (2006-03-11) One of the popular trends in computer science has been development of intelligent web-based systems. Demand for such systems forces designers to make use of knowledge discovery techniques on web server logs. Web usage mining has become a major area of knowledge discovery on World Wide Web. Frequent pattern discovery is one of the main issues in web usage mining. These frequent patterns constitute the basic information source for intelligent web-based systems. In this paper; frequent pattern mining algorithm...
Pre-service teachers’ opinions, self-efficacy beliefs and state anxiety in relation to educational podcasting Çelik, Berkan; Yıldırım, Zahide; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2014) Technology continues to develop rapidly and it has an undeniable effect on education.

Factors Impacting Adult Learner Achievement In A Technology Certificate Program On Computer Networks Delialioğlu, Ömer; Bichelmeyer, Barbara A.; Dennis, Alan R.; Duffy, Thomas M. (TURKISH ONLINE JOURNAL EDUCATIONAL TECH-TOJET, SAKARYA UNIV, ESENTEPE KAMPUSU, SAKARYA, 54187, TURKEY, 2010-4) This study investigates the factors impacting the achievement of adult learners in a technology certificate program on computer networks. We studied 2442 participants in 256 institutions. The participants were older than age 18 and were enrolled in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) technology training program as 'non-degree' or 'certificate' students. Using a multilevel analysis, factors impacting adult learners' achievement were identified. The results of Hierarchical Liner Model (HLM) analysis ...
