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...
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...
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...
An assessment of the effects of teaching methods on academic performance of students in accounting courses Hosal-Akman, Nazli; Simga-Mugan, Can (2010-01-01) This study explores the effect of teaching methods on the academic performance of students in accounting courses. The study was carried out over two semesters at a well-known university in Turkey in principles of financial accounting and managerial accounting courses. Students enrolled in the courses were assigned to treatment and control groups. Treatment group students solved assigned problems or cases in groups in class, while in the control group the instructor lectured on and solved the problems and ca...
Investigating questioning patterns of teachers through their pedagogical progression in argument-based inquiry classrooms Kılıç, Burcu; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Günel, Murat; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2016) The purpose of this study is to delineate the characteristics of teacher questioning in different implementation qualities of Argument-Based Inquiry (ABI) teaching. With this purpose, first, the characteristics of teacher question types used in high quality ABI classrooms were described, and teacher questions used in high quality practices were distinguished from those posed in medium quality classrooms. Secondly, the study aimed to characterize the sequence of teacher question types that promote high cogni...
