The aim is to investigate the effect of context-based approach (CBA) over traditional instruction (TI) on students’ motivation to learn chemistry and the effect of treatment on the factors of motivation. Six eleventhgrade classes with 187 students taught by three teachers from two public high schools were enrolled in this study. Each teacher had experimental and control group. These classes were assigned randomly as experimental and control. Chemistry motivation questionnaire was administered to groups before and after the treatment. The concepts of thermochemistry and thermodynamics were designed contextually for experimental groups and as usual for control groups. The treatment took almost eight weeks. First one-way ANOVA was used to compare groups, no difference across the groups was observed (p = .102). Then, MANOVA was used for revealing the effect of treatment on the factors of motivation. The results revealed that CBA was superior to TI on increasing students’ intrinsic motivation to learn chemistry (p= .014) and relevance of learning chemistry to personal goals (p= .001). Further studies may design more lessons on different chemistry concepts to increase students’ motivation to learn chemistry as a whole construct.

The effect of a wellness oriented stress management program on stress level and coping strategies of university students.
Maşraf, Funda Utku; Güneri, Oya; Department of Educational Sciences (2003)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a wellness oriented stress management program on stress level and coping strategies of university prep school students. The participants of this study were 14 volunteer students (9 boys, 5 girls) selected out of a total 223 Middle East Technical University prep school students on the basis of Life Events Inventory for University Students. A pre-test, post-test experimental, control group design was used in this study. The selected students were rand...
The Effect of using metacognitive strategies embedded in explicit reflective nature of science instruction on the development of pre-service science teachers/
Baraz, Aytuğba; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2012)
The current study aimed to investigate the effect of using metacognitive strategies embedded in explicit–reflective NOS instruction to improve NOS understanding of pre-service science teachers. Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) (Schraw & Dennison, 1994) and Views of Nature of Science Questionnaire (VNOS-C) (Lederman et al., 2001) were used both at the beginning and at the end of the study as a pre-test–post-test, comparison group, quasi-experimental design. A total of 33 pre-service science teachers (...
The comparative effects of prediction/discussion-based learning cycle, conceptual change text, and traditional instructions on students’ genetics understanding and self-regulated learning
Yılmaz, Diba; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Educational Sciences (2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the comparative effects of prediction/discussion-based learning cycle (HPD-LC), conceptual change text (CCT), and traditional instructions (TI) on 8th grade students’ understanding of genetics concepts and on their perceived motivation and perceived use of learning strategies. This study was carried out during 2006-2007 fall semester at a public elementary school in Ankara. A total of eighty-one 8th grade students from three intact classes were involved in the qu...
The effect of cooperative learning approach based on conceptual change conditions on students understanding of chemical equilibrium
Bilgin, İbrahim; Geban, Ömer; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2002)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the cooperative learning approach based on conceptual change conditions over traditional instruction on 10th grade students' conceptual understanding and achievement of computational problems related to chemical equilibrium concepts. In addition, the effects of students' performance in small group work on the students' conceptual understanding and achievement of computational problems related to chemical equilibrium was investigated. mThe subjects ...
The impact of parental control and marital conflict on adolescents’ self-regulation and adjustment
Harma, Mehmet; Sümer, Nebi; Department of Psychology (2008)
The current study aims to increase understanding of influences on and consequences of self-regulation in adolescence. Previous work has shown that higher levels of self-regulation are associated with greater social competence and lower levels problem behaviors. Past studies have posited that parenting and interparental conflict are linked to self-regulation and adjustment in childhood and adolescence. However, the mechanism underlying the potential effects of specific parental behaviors and interparental co...
