There has been an increasing trend towards project-based approach in higher education. For that reason, assessing and evaluating students' perceptions on formative feedback becomes an important aspect of students' learning in groupwork. Valid and reliable instruments are required to measure how students perceive formative feedback given to them from multiple sources. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to develop and validate a multidimensional formative feedback perception scale (FFPS) for the assessment of undergraduate students' perceptions on formative feedback provided to them as individuals or as a group on their project work. This study was implemented in three phases. In the first phase, qualitative data through interviews with 10 participants were used in development of the items for the scale. In the second phase, quantitative data from 97 undergraduate students were used to ensure validity and reliability of the new scale through exploratory factor analysis. Three dimensions emerged and were interpreted as development, understandability, and encouragement. In the third phase, data collected from an independent sample of 250 undergraduate students were used to confirm the factorial structure of the 25-item FFPS through confirmatory factor analysis. This new scale will serve as a useful tool for researchers, practitioners andindividuals in higher education in order to assess students' formative feedback perceptions in various work-based and experiential learning environments.

Analysis of the Problem Based Learning Implementations Students and Tutors Perceptions and Actions Ateş, Özlem; Eryılmaz, Ali (2015-03-01) This study aims to analyze the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) in engineering education regarding perceptions and actions of tutors and students. A case study design was employed in this study. To this end, four tutors, their five PBL modules, and fourteen students were selected. Observations and interviews were used to collect qualitative data. The results indicated that there was a difference between participants’ perception of PBL and their actions during tutorials. Participants’ level of ...
Testing a model of career indecision among university students based on social cognitive career theory Büyükgöze Kavas, Ayşenur; Güneri, Oya; Department of Educational Sciences (2011) The aim of the current study is to investigate the some potential factors that contribute to career indecision of university students. In accordance with that, a mediational causal model based on Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) was proposed to test; a) the direct and indirect relationships of locus of control, perceived parental attitudes, career decision-making self-efficacy, and career outcome expectations with career indecision and b) to what extend the combination of these variables explain career...
Professional Development Needs of Turkish Teachers in an Era of National Reforms Gokmenoglu, Tuba; Clark, Christopher M.; Kiraz, Ercan (2016-01-01) An emerging consensus in the teacher education literature confirms that supporting educational reforms and improving designs for national programs can be accomplished simply by maximizing the match between teachers' expressed needs and the content by which those professional development needs are met. This paper presents an interpretation of findings on Turkish teachers' in-service training needs during an era of massive reform. The findings indicate that teachers do not report a strong need for any profess...
Uncovering the relationship between student engagement and organizational culture in a public university in Turkey Borhan, Ersan.; Emil, Serap; Department of Educational Administration and Planning Education (2020) Student engagement has become a seminal phenomenon in recent higher education studies since it is associated with both desirable student outcomes and the quality of higher education policies and practices. It is defined as the time and energy devoted by the students to their studies and institutional efforts to create effective educational environment. Although the literature has given in-depth comprehension about the role of organizational characteristics in engagement, there has been few studies touching ...
Construct Validity of Language Achievement Causal Attribution Scale (LACAS) Erten, İsmail Hakkı; Çağatay, Sibel (2020-01-01) Causal attribution theory has attracted the attention of the scholars recently as it has a pivotal role in learners' motivated behaviour and effort for their future learning experiences. According to this theory, learners' perceived cause of their academic performances can be based on locus of control, controllability or stability. In this way, it might be easier for scholars or teachers to identify the "motivationally-at risk" students and take necessary actions. Although learners might state a wide range ...
