The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of case-based learning (CBL) over traditionally designed chemistry instruction (TDCI) on 10th grade students’ perceived motivation about chemistry as a school subject. Two classes were randomly selected from a high school. One class was assigned to be an experimental group and the other was assigned as a control group. A total of 45 high school students from 10th grade were the participants of the study (25 experimental and 20 control group students). Students in the experimental group were taught by case-based instruction while the control group students received traditional instruction. Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) was administered to both groups of students as pre- and post-tests to measure their perceived motivation. The results of one-way MANOVA based on gain scores revealed that CBL was an effective method for promoting students’ motivation towards chemistry.

Implementation of case-based instruction on electrochemistry at the 11th grade level Kondakçı, Esen (2017-10-01) This study aims to compare the effectiveness of case-based instruction over traditional instruction in improving 11th grade students' understanding of electrochemistry concepts, attitudes toward chemistry, chemistry self-efficacy beliefs, and motivation to learn chemistry. In total, 113 students (47 males and 66 females) from three high schools participated in this study. Two of the classes from each school were randomly assigned to be either the experimental or control group. The experimental group was ins...
The effect of 5E learning cycle model on eleventh grade students’ conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and motivation to learn chemistry Çetin Dindar, Ayla; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 5E learning cycle model compared to traditional teacher-centered instruction on eleventh grade students’ conceptual understanding of acids and bases concepts and student motivation to learn chemistry. The measuring tools were Three-tier Acids-Bases Test (TABT) and Chemistry Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ). There were two groups, which were the experimental and traditional group, consisting of 78 students. Before the implementation, the tools were adm...
EFFECTIVENESS OF CASE-BASED LEARNING INSTRUCTION ON STUDENTS' UNDERSTANDING OF SOLUBILITY EQUILIBRIUM CONCEPTS Cam, Aylin; Geban, Ömer (2013-01-01) This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of learning activities based on case-based learning over traditionally designed chemistry instruction on eleventh grade students' understanding of solubility equilibrium. The subjects of this study consisted of 63 eleventh grade students from two intact classes of an urban high school instructed with same chemistry teacher. Each teaching method was randomly assigned as control and experimental group. The experimental group received case-based learnin...
Implementation of case-based instruction on electrochemistry at 11th grade level Tarkın, Ayşegül; Kondakçı, Esen; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014) The main purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of case-based instruction over traditional instruction on eleventh grade high school students’ understanding of electrochemistry concepts. In addition, the effect of instruction on students’ attitudes toward chemistry, chemistry self-efficacy beliefs and motivation to learn chemistry were investigated. The study was carried out during 2010-2011 spring semester in three Anatolian high schools in Ankara, Turkey. A total of 113 (47 males and 66 fe...
Implementation of self-regulatory instruction based on guided inquiry approach to promote students’ achievement in solubility equilibrium and acids and bases, motivation, and learning strategies / Kadıoğlu, Cansel; Kondakçı, Esen; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2014) The current study explored how the self-regulatory instruction (SRI) based on guided inquiry approach affect 11th grade students’ achievement in Solubility Equilibrium and Acids and Bases, motivation, and learning strategies compared to traditionally-designed chemistry instruction. In addition, the self-regulatory processes in which students engaged and the development of these processes over the course of the study were examined. Eleven dependent variables related to the three dimensions of SRL (motivation...
