This study examines whether learners’ (high vs. low) ‘ideal L2 self’ exerts an effect on causal attributions and which of these causal attributions could predict future L2 achievement. To this end, 1006 EFL students were invited from a state university in Ankara, Turkey. The data were collected with an attribution scale composed of 29 questions and with a questionnaire containing 10 items measuring learners’ ideal L2 self. The researchers also collected the students’ achievement scores to measure the predictive power of causal attributions. The impact of high and low ideal L2 self on causal attributions was analyzed through MANOVA and the prediction power of these attributions for achievement was measured through regression analysis using SPSS 23. It was found that learners’ ideal L2 self (high vs. low) influenced causal attributions, including ability, school system, teacher, family and classroom environment. It was also found that the attribution to effort, luck and ability are the best predictors of future exam scores of learners. These predictors could provide insightful implications for EFL teachers with regard to the actions they can take in order to diagnose motivationally at risk students and to boost their motivation through effective designs of interventions embedded into the curriculum.

The Role of episodic and semantic memory on exam performance among freshmen and senior students in psychology
Elibol, Nur; Şahin Acar, Başak; Department of Psychology (2014)
The aim of this thesis was to examine the role of episodic and semantic memory on exam performance, while considering type of the question and age at two time points; right after the exam and five weeks later. Freshmen and senior students were asked to complete a questionnaire consisted of exemplar questions from final exams, and they were asked whether they remembered the specific learning episode corresponding to episodic memory, or they knew the information without remembering the learning episode corres...
Investigating predictors of sense of efficacy beliefs of classroom science and mathematics teachers
GÜR, GÜLBİR; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Çapa Aydın, Yeşim (2012-10-01)
The purpose of this study was to examine the predictors of teachers' sense of efficacy. Data were collected from 383 science, mathematics, and classroom teachers using Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale and additional items for assessing predictors including gender, teaching field, years of teaching experience, satisfaction with performance, support from colleagues, support from parents, support from administration, and teaching resources. Data were analyzed by utilizing hierarchical regression analysis. Res...
The preditive validity of Başkent University proficiency exam (BUEPE) through the use of the three-parameter IRT model's ability estimates
Yeğin, Oya Perim; Berberoğlu, Halil Giray; Department of Educational Sciences (2003)
The purpose of the present study is to investigate the predictive validity of the BUEPE through the use of the three-parameter IRT model̕s ability estimates. The study made use of the BUEPE September 2000 data which included the responses of 699 students. The predictive validity was established by using the departmental English courses (DEC) passing grades of a total number of 371 students. As for the prerequisite analysis the best fitted model of IRT was determined by first, checking the assumptions of IRT...
The Effect of conceptual change based instruction on tenth grade students’ understanding of probability concepts, probability achievement and attitudes toward probability
Topbaş Tat, Emel; Bulut, Safure; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The purpose of the current study is to investigate the effect of conceptual change based instruction on tenth grade students’ understanding of probability concepts, probability achievement and attitudes toward probability. This study was conducted with 118 students from one Anatolian high school in Ankara during the spring semester of 2010-2011. The treatments were performed by two teachers who had randomly assigned one control and one experimental group. Conceptual change based instruction (CCBI) was used ...
The effect of multiple intelligences based instruction on students physics achievement
Gürçay, Deniz; Eryılmaz, Ali; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2003)
The main purpose of this study is to compare the effects of the Multiple Intelligences based instruction versus traditional instruction on ninth grade students' physics achievement. MI inventory, Attitude Scale Toward the Content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, Multiple Choice Physics Achievement test on the content أCoulomb̕s Lawؤ, and MI based Physics Achievement rubric were used as measuring tools. The study was conducted with 268 ninth grade public high school students in Sincan district in the spring semester 2002-20...
