Teacher cognition and teacher action are two interrelated concepts of teaching and thus ought to be studied together in-depth to understand the nature of teaching and its effect on educational achievement. Examining the relationship between language teachers' cognitions and their actions has the potential to inform and guide current and future instructional practices in language teaching settings. From this point forth, this correlational study aims to answer in what way language teachers' language learning cognitions may predict their language teaching practices. The data were collected from 606 instructors teaching English in various higher education institutions in Turkey by means of a cross-sectional inventory and then analyzed primarily through canonical correlation analysis. During the data analysis process, multivariate normality; linearity (among variables and linear composites); homoscedasticity; and multicollinearity were also evaluated. The general results indicated that the participants having competence-oriented approaches and executive learner preferences would exhibit adherence to traditional (conservative) pedagogy, but divergence from communicative practices in instructional planning and error correction. Similarly, the participants disfavoring legislative learners would tend to diverge from communicative practices in instructional planning and error correction; on the contrary they would reflect a tendency towards traditional (conservative) pedagogy.

Relationships between Foreign Language Teachers' Cognitions and Actions: Evidence from Instructors at Tertiary-level Öztürk, Mustafa; Yıldırım, Ali (2019-01-01) Teacher cognition and teacher action are two interrelated concepts of teaching and thus ought to be studied together in-depth to understand the nature of teaching and its effect on educational achievement. Examining the relationship between language teachers' cognitions and their actions has the potential to inform and guide current and future instructional practices in language teaching settings. From this point forth, this correlational study aims to answer in what way language teachers' language learning...
Exploration of the relations between the teacher‘s discursive roles and the students‘ cognitive contributions to the classroom discourse / Soysal, Yılmaz; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Günel, Murat; Department of Elementary Education (2017) The current study aimed at exploring the relations between the types of teacher discursive roles and the students‘ cognitive contributions to the classroom discourse. Students‘ cognitive operations were considered as their utterances‘ semantic complexity, cognitive pathways, reasoning quality and argument structure. It was also aimed at investigating some contextual influences of the inquiry classrooms on the students‘ ability to make cognitive contributions to the classroom discourse. The participants were...
Investigating Sources of Pre Service Teachers Self Efficacy For Preparing And Implementing Mathematical Tasks YÜREKLİ, BİLGE; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Çakıroğlu, Erdinç (2015-02-04) The goal of this study was to understand pre-service teachers' self-efficacy beliefs for preparing and implementing mathematical tasks and to explore which sources of self-efficacy they wighted and interpreted when judging their capabilities as a result of attending a mathematics teaching methods course designed with a focus on mathematics teaching through tasks. Nine pre-service teachers participated in this study and they were interviewed at the end of the methods course. Findings revealed that methods co...
Investigating questioning patterns of teachers through their pedagogical progression in argument-based inquiry classrooms Kılıç, Burcu; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Günel, Murat; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2016) The purpose of this study is to delineate the characteristics of teacher questioning in different implementation qualities of Argument-Based Inquiry (ABI) teaching. With this purpose, first, the characteristics of teacher question types used in high quality ABI classrooms were described, and teacher questions used in high quality practices were distinguished from those posed in medium quality classrooms. Secondly, the study aimed to characterize the sequence of teacher question types that promote high cogni...
Secondary mathematics teachers' subject matter knowledge of quadratic functions and its contribution to student learning outcomes Karacı Yaşa, Gülzade; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2022-8-31) The purpose of the present study was to investigate secondary mathematics teachers’ subject matter knowledge (SMK) of quadratic functions and its contribution to teachers’ instructional practice and student learning outcomes. The study was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, a questionnaire was administered to 18 secondary mathematics teachers to identify their SMK of quadratic functions, which has three sub-components: common content knowledge (CCK), specialized content knowledge (SCK), and hori...
