This article describes a learner modeling strategy that is employed by an adaptive learning system in order to provide each learner with a personalized e-Learning experience. Parameters related to the learners' prior knowledge, goal and learning style constitute the basis of the personalization and the adaptivity of the mentioned learning system. The present paper focuses on the mechanisms concerning the learner's prior knowledge and the goal parameters. The learner modeling that takes into account the prior knowledge of the learners is achieved by developing an ontological abstraction. Based on this ontological abstraction, a knowledge base is constructed in order to introduce the knowledge representations of the domain model and the curricular model, the knowledge and the learning structures. These knowledge representations specify how the prior knowledge of a learner will be represented, and also how it will be assessed and continuously updated.

Subject Keywords

Multi-dimensional students' evaluation of e-learning systems in the higher education context: An empirical investigation Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2009-12-01) There has been little research on assessment of learning management systems (LMS) within educational organizations as both a web-based learning system for e-learning and as a supportive tool for blended learning environments. This study proposes a conceptual e-learning assessment model, hexagonal e-learning assessment model (HELAM) suggesting a multi-dimensional approach for LMS evaluation via six dimensions: (1) system quality, (2) service quality, (3) content quality, (4) learner perspective, (5) instruct...
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION MAJORS' SELF-EFFICACY FOR TEACHING FUNDAMENTAL MOTOR SKILLS Hürmeriç Altunsöz, Irmak (2015-10-01) Early childhood education majors' (N = 83) perceived self-efficacy for teaching fundamental motor skills (FMS) were examined. An experimental group (n = 49) enrolled in a 14-wk. physical education and games course and 34 students made up a comparison group. A perceived self-efficacy questionnaire on teaching FMS was applied for both groups before and after the physical education and games course. The 14-wk. course improved early childhood majors' self-efficacy for teaching FMS.
Pre Service Teachers Self Efficacy Beliefs in Relation to Educational Podcasting Integration and Educational Usage Self Efficacy Çelik, Berkan; Yıldırım, Zahide (2016-03-21) One of the Web 2.0 technologies that can contribute to teaching and learning process is podcasting technology. Being a part of a larger study, this study aims to investigate pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs in relation to educational podcasting before and after engaging in podcast development and presenting a subject in their field of study through podcasts. This research study utilized a non-experimental approach and convenience sampling method was used to select the participants. 25 pre-service...
Educational analytics of an opencourseware Balbay, Seher (2018-01-01) Analytics as one of the recent fields in technology-based learning offers many benefits to educators, instructors, and administrators to improve the efficiency and quality of alternative educational materials, and learning experience through tracking and storing students’ log data on web platforms over an extended period of time. This mixed-method study investigates students’ log data retrieved from the opencourseware (OCW) specifically launched for a required academic English speaking skills course offered...
The effects of metacognitive knowledge on the pre-service teachers' participation in the asynchronous online forum Topcu, Abdullah; Ubuz, Behiye (2008-01-01) This paper researches the effects that students' metacognitive knowledge has on their participation in online forum discussions, which form part of a web-based asynchronous course based on a constructivist instructional approach. Metacognitive knowledge increases learners' ability to be independent learners, which is an indispensable characteristic of the distant learner. The study was carried out with 32 third-grade pre-service teachers. Each message in the forum discussions was analyzed in terms of intera...
