This study aimed at comparing high and low achievers with respect to various self-regulated learning processes. For the specified purpose, 252 Turkish high school students were administered the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. Results indicated that there were significant mean differences between high and low achievers with respect to various motivational (i.e., intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, self-efficacy, test anxiety) and cognitive-behavioral (i.e., meta-cognitive self-regulation, effort regulation and help seeking) processes. In addition, regardless of the achievement level of the students, intrinsic goal orientation, task value, and self-efficacy were found to be significantly linked to various cognitive and behavioral processes of self-regulated learning.

Optimization of tissue culture, generation and agrobacterium mediated transformation parameters in winter wheat cultivars (Kızıltan-91 and Bezostaja-01) Kavas, Musa; Yücel, Ayşe Meral; Department of Biology (2005) The objective of this study was to optimize tissue culture and regeneration parameters of immature inflorescence culture of Triticum aestivum cv. Bezostaja- 01 and Triticum durum cv. Kızıltan-91. The effects of callus age and vernalisation time of explants on regeneration success were evaluated. For determination of optimum vernalisation time of immature inflorescence, plants subjected to 4°C for 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 weeks, respectively. Tillers containing immature inflorescences were collected at the same tim...
Investigating the science attitudes of students from low socioeconomic status families: The impact of problem-based learning Secgin, Tuba; Sungur, Semra (Wiley, 2020-09-01) This study aimed to examine the effect of the problem-based learning (PBL) on science attitudes of middle school students from low socio-economic status families. For this purpose, two intact classes of the same teacher were randomly assigned as experimental and control groups. In the unit of genetics, the experimental group was taught by PBL while the control group received traditional instruction. Students' attitudes were measured in terms of adoption of scientific attitudes, enjoyment of science lessons,...
Investigating the relationship between chemistry achievement and self-regulatory learning strategies among high school students Urlu, Hülya Gizem; Boz, Yezdan; Department of Science Education (2022-6-01) The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between chemistry achievement and self-regulatory learning strategies which are classified as motivational beliefs ( intrinsic goal orientation, extrinsic goal orientation, task value, control of learning, self-efficacy, and test anxiety) and learning strategies use (rehearsal, elaboration, organization, critical thinking, metacognitive self-regulation, regulation of effort, time and study environment, help-seeking and peer learning) among high sc...
Analyzing the effects of the personality traits on the success of online collaborative groups Kucukozer-Cavdar, Seyma; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba (Elsevier BV; 2016-06-23) The purpose of this study is to analyze how efficient online study groups can be formed among students based on their personality traits. A survey consisting of Ten Item Personality Inventory (TIPI) was conducted among the undergraduate students in a well-known university. Eighty-two students who did not know each other were assigned to 35 small online groups based on their personality characteristics. The group members were then asked to study collaboratively on a task by communicating via the university's...
The effect of gender and reasoning ability on the students’ understanding of ecological concepts and attitude towards science Soylu, Hacer; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2006) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of gender and reasoning ability on the 8th grade students’ understanding of ecological concepts and attitude toward science. All 8th grade students from public elementary school in Tosya participated in the study. Students’ understanding, attitude toward science and reasoning ability were also measured by means of the Test of Ecology Concept (TEC), the Attitude Scale toward Science (ASTS) and the Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT) respectively. In order t...
