Teaching and learning trend has shifted gradually from a teacher-centered approach to a student-centered approach. Many educational researchers have suggested that teachers must use student-centered learning approaches, such as Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL). POGIL is an instructional approach combining guided inquiry and cooperative learning in which students are involved in the learning process. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of POGIL method compared to traditionally designed chemistry instruction (teacher-centered approach) method on 11th grade students' Self-Regulated Learning Skills. The study was conducted during 2014-2015 spring semester. Participants were 115 students from one high school in Turkey. Non-equivalent control group design was used Two experimental groups and two control groups were randomly selected Experimental groups were instructed with POGIL, while control groups received traditionally designed chemistry instruction. Achievement Goal Questionnaire (AGQ) and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) were administered to both groups as pre-test and post-test to determine students 'self-regulated learning skills. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MNOVA) was used to investigate the effect of POGIL on the dependent variables. Results revealed that POGIL improved students 'mastery approach, task value, control of learning beliefs, self-efficacy for learning and performance, critical thinking, help seeking, peer learning, metacognitive self-regulation, effort regulation, time/study environmental management. The results showed that POGIL was superior to the traditionally designed chemistry instruction on students 'self-regulated learning skills. Thus, POGIL is helpful for development of students 'self-regulated learning skills.

The effects of blended learning on EFL students' vocabulary enhancement
Korkmaz, Sezen (Elsevier BV; 2015-04-19)
Blended learning approach in teaching foreign language has become a matter of considerable interest to language teachers all over the world. As opposed to pure e-learning which refers to using only electronic media to learn, blended learning supplement traditional face-to-face teaching and learning environment with different kinds of technology-based instruction. Many higher education institutions today are using blended learning as a supplementary means in developing students' vocabulary knowledge. The pre...
Effects of problem-based learning and traditional instruction on self-regulated learning
Sungur, Semra; Öztekin, Ceren (2006-05-01)
The authors used the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire to investigate the effectiveness of problem-based learning (PBL) and traditional instructional approaches on various facets of students' self-regulated learning, including motivation and learning strategies. Participants included 61 tenth-grade students from 2 intact classes instructed by the same biology teacher. The authors randomly assigned 1 class as the experimental group and the other class as the control group. Teachers instructed t...
The Relationship between EFL Learners’ Language Learning Strategy Use, Willingness to Communicate, and L2 Achievement
Demir Ayaz, Aycan (null; 2017-04-18)
This study aimed to explore the interactions between EFL learners’ language learning strategy use, willingness to communicate (WTC), and L2 achievement. To do so, a quantitative study was conducted with 79 tertiary level EFL learners. These participants were prep-class students from two different state universities, and they were having intensive language courses during that one-year education. Data were collected using a 70-item composite instrument. To measure language learning strategy use of the partici...
