Metacognition is a fuzzy term and needs deeper investigation in different learning context to inform the psychological learning theories and instructional design practices. Science centers among the world provide life-long learning environments for the citizens. As they become widespread, the constant need to understand cyclical educational and organizational practices to inform instructional design practices under the lens of theoretical perspectives have become one of the primary issues to deal with. Figuring out the current educational and instructional design considerations might give a privilege to designers, practitioners, and researchers to understand in which conditions learners are at the core of the educational processes. For a deeper investigation of instructional design issues within the science centers, this qulitative inquiry-driven multimethod study underpinned the current practices of science centers and investigated the indicators of individual and shared metacognition within these learning environments. Underpinning the current practices led to propose instructional design considerations that might increase the educational effectiveness in science centers, and provide an auxiliary resource for vi researchers from different professional branches who are engaged in or prepared to make researches on science centers. Whereas, investigating the indicators of metacognition within science center settings both informed the learning theories and instructional design practices.

Online collaboration: Collaborative behavior patterns and factors affecting globally distributed team performance
Serce, Fatma Cemile; Swigger, Kathleen; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Brazile, Robert; Dafoulas, George; Lopez, Victor (2011-01-01)
Studying the collaborative behavior of online learning teams and how this behavior is related to communication mode and task type is a complex process. Research about small group learning suggests that a higher percentage of social interactions occur in synchronous rather than asynchronous mode, and that students spend more time in task-oriented interaction in asynchronous discussions than in synchronous mode. This study analyzed the collaborative interaction patterns of global software development learning...
Probability learning in normal and parkinson subjects: the effect of reward, context, and uncertainty
Erdeniz, Burak; Gökçay, Didem; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2007)
In this thesis, the learning of probabilistic relationships between stimulus-action pairs is investigated under the probability learning paradigm. The effect of reward is investigated in the first three experiments. Additionally, the effect of context and uncertainty is investigated in the second and third experiments, respectively. The fourth experiment is the replication of the second experiment with a group of Parkinson patients where the effect of dopamine medication on probability learning is studied. ...
Investigation of community of inquiry framework in regard to self-regulation, metacognition and motivation
KİLİS, SELCAN; Yıldırım, Zahide (Elsevier BV, 2018-11-01)
Following theoretical frameworks including social-cognitive theory, constructivism and creating collaborative learning community, this correlational study elucidates the community of inquiry framework in regard to self-regulation, metacognition, and motivation in an online learning setting. Data were collected from 1535 students enrolled to an online Information and Communication Technology-I course offered by the Department of Informatics at a well-known public university. The data were collected online th...
The nature and development of interaction among components of pedagogical content knowledge in practicum
Aydın, Sevgi; Demirdogen, Betul; Akın Çelebi, Fatma; Kondakçı, Esen; Tarkin, Aysegul (2015-02-01)
This secondary analysis study focused on how interactions among preservice teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) components developed throughout a 14-week CoRe-based mentoringenriched practicum course, and the nature of those interactions. Data were collected from three preservice teachers, information-rich cases, by the use of content representation (CoRe) and semi-structured interviews. Content analysis and the constant comparative method were employed in the data analysis. Results revealed that t...
Investigation of Students’ Cognitive Processes in Computer Programming: A Cognitive Ethnography Study
Doğan, Sibel; Aslan, Orhan; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner (2019-01-01)
The aim of the current study is to investigate how cognitive processes of students categorized as novice, semi-expert and expert differ in terms of creating pseudocode for a given programming task. To conduct this aim, cognitive ethnography research design was employed to reveal the cognitive process of the participants behind the specified task. In the study, three undergraduate students from a Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT) department were included as participants. These students w...
