Is the use of GeoGebra advantageous in the process of argumentation?

2015-01-01
The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of using GeoGebra in an argumentative application. For this purpose, the data were collected from eight prospective elementary mathematics teachers via video recordings, reflection papers and interviews. Data were analyzed through qualitative data analysis methods. According to the results, making accurate drawings, creating confident justifications based on exact measurements, dragging objects to see relationships and saving time were the main advantages of GeoGebra in argumentation. On the other hand, not attending class discussion and not reasoning the relationships after measuring with GeoGebra were the disadvantages for argumentation.

EFFECTIVENESS OF A DATA-BASED DECISION-MAKING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITY FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND ITS IMPACT ON STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVEL
Sarıkaya, Serap; İnce, Mustafa Levent; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2023-3-23)
The purpose of this study was two-fold; (1) to design a data-based decision-making professional development (DBDM-PD) program for secondary school physical education teachers and (2) to examine the effects of this program on teachers' data use and instructional practices and their students’ learning. The study includes a needs analysis on the designing of this program in the form of the professional learning community (PLC), its implementation with a theoretical framework behind the design, and an evaluatio...
A Rasch measurement example in a grant application process
Çapa Aydın, Yeşim (2003-04-25)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a Rasch-based procedure to calibrate responses for funding applications. The data set included 112 proposals and 66 readers, who independently scored randomly assigned proposals using a scoring instrument. The data were analyzed using FACETS (Linacre, 1999). The analysis indicated that the instrument succeeded in separating proposals into four distinct strata of quality. The proposal quality measures were found to be trustworthy in terms of their ac...

DEMİRSÖZ, TALAT; MISIRLISOY, MİNE; Karancı, Ayşe Nuray (2018-12-01)
Objective: This study aims to examine the effects of the induction of thought-action fusion (TAF) on appraisal process, by using an enhanced paradigm which integrates the favourable aspects of Sentence Completion Task (SCT) with Obsessive-Compulsive (OC)-like perseverative reasoning (PR) task. The study also aims to evaluate the effect of psychoeducation (PE) on alleviating the level of TAF-Induction experience. Method: A total of three groups were formed. The first group with high OC traits (47 participant...
Utilizing cinematherapy to improve relationship satisfaction : a qualitative study
Eğeci, İlke Sine; Gençöz, Faruk; Department of Psychology (2010)
This study aimed to verify the propositions regarding the application procedures indicated in the cinematherapy literature. Moreover it was also aimed to frame the rationale of cinematherapy on a theoretical basis by integrating the procedures of cinematherapy intervention technique into Transtheoretical Model (Prochaska & Norcross, 2003) and to discover the mechanisms that the applications function through. Finally, it was also aimed to apply cinematherapy intervention technique to the domain of relationsh...
Effect of Student Level Variables on Elementary Students’ Nature of Science Views
Hacıeminoğlu, Esma; Ertepınar, Hamide; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül (null; 2010-03-21)
The purpose of this study was to investigate which of the student level variables help to explain the difference in understanding the nature of science (NOS) views. The sample included 3,062 students enrolled in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade elementary schools located in Cankaya, Turkey. Data was collected during the spring of 2008. The Nature of Science Instrument, Learning Approach Questionnaire and Achievement Motivation Questionnaire were applied to the students. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM...
