Comics have an important role in non-formal learning environments. However, how comics may be effective teaching/learning activitities in formal education is an ongoing debate in literature. The purpose of this study is to create and evaluate a series of instructional comics about heat related concepts to be used as teaching/learning activities in real classroom settings. This research is designed as a case study aiming to observe and explain students’ reactions to the implementation of an instructional intervention. In this study, six instructional comics about heat related concepts having empty speech balloons were constructed and implemented to a group of 6th graders as balloon completing activities. It was observed that many students completed empty balloons with several wrong statements, and it was concluded that students’ wrong statements have crucial feedback for dealing with students’ preconceptions about science concepts.

Preliterate Young Children's Reading Attitudes: Connections to the Home Literacy Environment and Maternal Factors Altun, Dilek; Erden, Feyza; Hartman, Douglas K. (2021-03-01) Emergent literacy is an umbrella term that encompasses developmental precursor skills, knowledge, and attitudes related to reading and writing. Previous studies have focused on the cognitive aspects of reading, such as word recognition, phonological awareness, and comprehension. However, reading is also an activity that requires effort and involves motivation and attitudes. These affective dimensions are given little attention in the literature on children's literacy development. To fill this gap, this stud...
Symposium: ICT4D and the learning sciences Evans, Michael A.; Johri, Aditya; Glasson, George E.; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Pal, Joyojeet; Sorcar, Piya (null; 2008-06-28) Over the last two decades, the learning sciences have contributed immensely to curricula-based learning in formal environments. Recently, there is an increased emphasis on learning that occurs outside formal institutions, especially through the use of technology. Design experiments and design-based research have resulted in several innovations and in an overall conception of designing and researching new learning environments. Not surprisingly, technology has been a critical component of research and teachi...
'Ragged Time' in Intra-panel Comics Rhythms Shores, Corry Michael (2016-01-01) A phenomenological method of comics analysis can be useful when we need to uncover the structural features of the comics experience itself. One fruitful application would be in the study of irregular intra-panel rhythms, where the temporalized divisions are not visibly indicated but rather are only experienced. By means of Gilles Deleuze's notion of rhythmic repetition and his elaboration of it through Olivier Messiaen's theory of 'kinetic' rhythm, we will formulate a conception of visual rhythm as being ba...
Dynamic Changes in Pre-Service Language Teacher well-being in the Classroom Ecology: A Micro Approach Sak, Mehmet; Gürbüz, Nurdan (2023-01-01) Although language teacher well-being has been the focus of growing attention in recent years, there is little known of its dynamic and contextually dependent nature. Integrating the complex dynamic view of well-being with an ecological orientation, this classroom-based study examined the micro-scale changes in pre-service language teacher well-being and the reasons for such changes using data from three pre-service English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) teachers in Türkiye. The individual trajectories of well-...
