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.

Strengths and weaknesses of problem-based learning in engineeriing education: students’ and tutors’ perspectives 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...
Design of a problem-based online learning environment and evaluation of its effectiveness Gündüz, Abdullah Yasin; Alemdağ, Ecenaz; Yaşar, Sevil; Erdem, Mukaddes (2017-07-01) Problem-based learning approach present several advantages such as improving students’ engagement in learning and fostering their higher-order thinking skills. Although there is a plethora of research regarding implementation of problem-based learning in classrooms, its design and application process for web-based environments need further investigation because of independent nature of online settings. This study developed a problem-based online learning environment based on constructivist learning design m...
Facilitators and distractors of effective learning: perceptions of middle school students, teachers, and parents / Kasapoğlu, Koray; Yıldırım, Ali; Department of Curriculum and Instruction (2014) This study aims to explore teachers’, students’, and their parents’ conceptions of effective learning and to examine factors that facilitate or distract effective learning in social studies and science courses at the sixth and seventh grades. The study, through a qualitative, phenomenological research design, was conducted in eight middle schools in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey. The participants were 16 teachers, 48 students, and 24 parents. Data were mainly collected through individual interviews with teachers a...
Factors affecting performance of tutors during problem-based learning implementations Ates, Ozlem; Eryılmaz, Ali (2010-02-08) The study aims to analyze the factors affecting performance of tutors during problem-based learning (PBL) implementations. This study employs a case study design in order to identify and analyze PBL implementations providing detailed and rich descriptions through the perceptions of tutors and students. To this end, four tutors and fourteen students were selected for the case study. The data utilized in this study were collected by means of observations and interviews. The findings of this study indicated th...
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...
