The goal of this study is to set criteria for writing good contextual questions. This is a theoretical research work based on an extensive literature review. Extensive literature comprised of reviewing leading data bases, educational journals, and proceedings. All the collected materials from these resources were read, compiled, analyzed, interpreted, and synthesized. The information gathered from these sources were systematically used as an input to generate criteria for writing good contextual questions. Eventually, 3 main criteria and 11 sub-criteria were generated from these studies. Besides, the difference between contextual and idealized questions was presented comparatively. As a final step, common misunderstandings i.e., myths related to contextual questions were determined and presented in detail. This study can be seen as a how-to-guide to all stake holders of education for writing good contextual questions.

Examination of chemistry teachers' topic - specific nature of pedagogical content knowledge in electrochemistry and radioactivity / Aydın, Sevgi; Boz, Yezdan; Kondakçı, Esen; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2012) The purpose of this study was to examine topic-specific nature of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). Two experienced chemistry teachers’ PCK was examined in electrochemistry and radioactivity. To capture participants’ PCK, all PCK components were studied. To get deep and rich answers to research questions asked, qualitative methodology was used. Participants were selected through purposeful sampling. Data were gathered through card-sorting activity, Content Representation (CoRe), semi-structured interview...
How students multiple intelligences differ in terms of grade level and gender Göğebakan, Derya; Aksu, Meral; Department of Educational Sciences (2003) The purpose of the study was to investigate the students̕ multiple intelligences according to their preferences and how students̕ multiple intelligences differ in terms of grade level (first, third fifth and eighth) and gender. This research was conducted at Middle East Technical University Development Foundation School in the spring of the 2001-2002 academic-year with three classes from each level namely first grade, third grade, fifth grade and eight grade. In this study, Pictorial Teele Inventory for Mul...
Exploring the Effects of Science Writing Heuristic Approach on 8th Grade Students Metacognition Tucel, Tuğçe; Çakıroğlu, Jale; Öztekin, Ceren (2015-09-04) The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on middle school students' metacognition. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental research design, the non-equivalent control group post-test only design was used with the aim to compare the experimental and the comparison groups mean difference with respect to dependent variables. 60 eight grade students with a mean age of 14 years in two classes selected from one public school in an urban area. One class was ra...
A discussion of the concepts of validity and reliability in qualitative and quantitative Research Sadık, Olgun (2019-06-01) : The purpose of this paper is discussing the main issues in conceptualizing reliability and validity between qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The researcher examined the arguments about validity and reliability in inquiry methodology and identified three main debates primarily in qualitative research. The first one was about qualitative inquirers’ limited emphasis on the data collection process to increase the robustness of their research efforts. Most of the strategies in qualitative rese...
Interactive Approaches to Multiple Criteria Sorting Problems: Entropy-Based Question Selection Methods Özarslan, Ali; Karakaya, Gülşah (2022-08-01) In this study, interactive approaches for sorting alternatives evaluated on multiple criteria are developed. The possible category ranges of alternatives are defined by mathematical models iteratively under the assumption that the preferences of the decision maker (DM) are consistent with an additive utility function. Simulation-based and model-based parameter generation methods are proposed to hypothetically assign the alternatives to categories. A practical approach to solve the incompatibility problem of...
