This study aims at investigating socially-shared metacognition processes of 7 th graders based on science lessons within a science museum context. Research questions are collected under three main themes which are (1) detecting current practices of science museum context in reference to students’, science teachers’ and museum educators’ perceptions, (2) 467 investigating metacognition processes of 7 th graders having museum experience, and (3) observing and detecting the indicators of socially-shared metacognition processes of 7 th graders via a virtual science museum. While first research question has been conducting for need analysis purposes, 10 science museums from five metropolis in Turkey was selected to conduct interview with science museum educators and to reach active teachers who contributed to field-trips. For the second and third research questions, a cognitive ethnographical research method will be conducted based on purposive sampling method. Two groups who are whether having museum experience (tutors) or not (tutees) will consist of totally 24 students. Students, equally distributed in gender, will be selected based on their achievement levels in science lessons including low, moderated and high achievement levels. The main study will endure throughout eight weeks. Students having science museum experience for four-weeks will be recorded via first-person view and third-person view. Tutor students will conduct activities by concurrently thinking aloud. After the activities conducted, students will be shown their video recordings for retrospective thinking. Following the science museum experience, for four-week duration, tutor students will be a part of a video production process and share their videos with other students having no opportunity to visit science museums.

The Effect of history of science instruction on elementary students' scientific literacy Cansız, Mustafa; Sungur Vural, Semra; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Education (2014) The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of history of science instruction on elementary students' scientific literacy. Specifically, the effectiveness of history of science instruction over curriculum-oriented instruction was examined in terms of four central components of scientific literacy, which are science process skills, understanding of human circulatory system concepts, attitudes toward science, and nature of science views. A total of 95 sixth-grade students from four classes p...
Examining middle school students' understanding of the nature of science Çelikdemir, Meliha; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2006) The aim of this study is to investigate the elementary school students’ understandings of the nature of science (NOS). A total of 1949 students (1026 sixth graders and 923 eighth graders) from six different elementary schools participated in the study. “Nature of Science Questionnaire for Elementary Level (E-NOS)” questionnaire, adapted from Views on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS) developed by Aikenhead, Fleming and Ryan (1989) and Views on Nature of Science (VNOS-D) constructed by Lederman, Adb-El-Khal...
Investigation of the preservice science teachers̕ views on science technology and society issues Kahyaoğlu, Elvan; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2004) The aim of this study is to investigate the views of preservice science teachers on science-technology-society, STS, issue. A total of 176 preservice science teachers participated in the study. A 26-item أViews on Science-Technology-Society (VOSTS)ؤ instrument, translated and adapted into Turkish, were utilized to assess participants̕ views on STS. The VOSTS (Aikenhead, Ryan and Fleming, 1989) is a pool of 114 empirically developed multiple-choice items with nine categories. In order to understand participa...
Investigating elementary students’ motivation towards science learning: a cross age study Güvercin, Özge; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Educational Sciences (2008) This study investigated the effects of grade level and gender on elementary school students’ motivation towards science learning. This study was carried out during 2007-2008 fall semester at 12 public elementary schools in Yenimahalle districts of Ankara. A total of 2231 students (1121 boys, 1093 girls, 17 did not report their gender) participated in the study. In terms of grade level, 1164 were enrolled in 6th grade level and 1055 in 8th grade (12 did not report their grade level). Data were collected thro...
Multilevel analysis of students science achievement in relation to constructivist learning environment perceptions, epistemological beliefs, self-regulation and science teachers characteristics Pamuk, Savaş; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren; Department of Elementary Education (2014) This study aimed to examine student science achievement in relation to constructivist learning environment perceptions, epistemological beliefs, self-regulation and science teacher characteristics. Data were collected using a battery of instruments administered to both 137 science teachers and their 3281 seventh grade students in Ankara, Turkey. Several Hierarchical Linear Modeling analyses were conducted to analyze the two level-data which were student-level that were self-regulation (i.e., self-efficacy, ...
