This study aims to analyze the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) in engineering education regarding perceptions and actions of tutors and students. A case study design was employed in this study. To this end, four tutors, their five PBL modules, and fourteen students were selected. Observations and interviews were used to collect qualitative data. The results indicated that there was a difference between participants’ perception of PBL and their actions during tutorials. Participants’ level of adaptation to PBL and problems they faced were indicated as the reasons of this difference. Analyzing the implementation of PBL and taking the ideas of students and tutors who are the basic components of it seems to be of fundamental importance to contribute future implementations.

Ateş, Özlem; Eryılmaz, Ali (2010-01-01)
This study aims to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of problem-based learning (PBL) implementations in engineering education and problems encountered in it from the perspectives of tutors and students. A case study design was employed in this study. To this end, four tutors, their five PBL modules, and fourteen students were selected. The data were collected by means of observations, interviews, and additional data sources. The results indicated that gaining engineer’s viewpoint and self confidence; imp...
Science teachers' perceptions of the elementary science and technology curriculum
Adal, Elif Ece; Adal, Elif Ece; Department of Educational Sciences (2011)
The aim of this study is to reveal the teachers‟ perceptions of the Elementary Science and Technology curriculum in 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels and the level of consistency of these perceptions with the content of the curriculum. In order to achieve this aim, an exploratory qualitative research was operated through indepth interviews with 9 science and technology teachers. In this study, in order to directly deal with ego-threat, a relatively new technique, which is named game activity, was developed by t...
Decision-making processes of university administrators in a crisis: a qualitative exploratory case study
Hamamcıoğlu, Doğa; Gökalp, Gökçe; Department of Educational Sciences (2020)
This study aims to combine two complex concepts which are higher education administration and crisis decision-making. Studies about decision-making in crisis within the perspective of Educational Administration are limited as most of the studies on this topic conducted with decision-makers from fire departments, police departments and military services who mostly face with situations to make life-and-death decisions. As the crisis decision-making has become very popular in the last two decades and the numbe...
Investigating the perceptions of university students and faculty about virtual physics and chemistry laboratory activities
Güler, Hilal; Delialioğlu, Ömer; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2022-2)
This study aims to investigate the perceptions of university students and faculty about virtual chemistry and physics laboratory activities. The study was carried out in the 2020-2021 academic year with students and faculty members who were registered to general chemistry and general physics courses in 18 different universities in different parts of Turkey. Participants of the study attended virtual laboratory activities on weekly basis as a mandatory part of their courses during the fall and spring semeste...
