In general, laboratories are exercises with a primary focus on the verification of established laws and principles, or on the discovery of objectively knowable facts. In laboratories, students gather data without comprehending the meaning of their actions. The cognitive demand of laboratory tasks is reduced to a minimal level. To prevent these deficiencies, activities in a physics laboratory course were redesigned using problem-based learning. Problem-based learning is an inquiry based instructional design in which experiential learning organized around the investigation, explanation, and resolution of meaningful problems. In activities, instructional strategy is student-centered and learning has to occur in small student groups under the guidance of a tutor. Authentic real world problems are primarily encountered in the learning sequence. To solve the problems, students propose hypothesis, and test their hypothesis with suitable experiment designs. Laboratory design and instruction strategies are very suitable for performing science process skills.

An investigation of 10th grade students’ proof schemes in geometry with respect to their cognitive styles and gender Ören, Duygu; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007) The purpose of the present study is to identify 10th grade students’ use of proof schemes in geometry questions and to investigate the differences in the use of proof schemes with respect to their cognitive style and gender. The sample of the study was 224 tenth grade students from four secondary schools. Of those, 126 participants were female and 98 participants were males. Data was collected at the end of the academic year 2005-2006 through uses of two data collection instruments: Geometry Proof Test (GPT...
An inter-annotator agreement measurement methodology for the Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB) Yalçınkaya, Şaban İhsan; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2010) In the TDB[1]-like corpora annotation efforts, which are constructed by the intuitions of the annotators, the reliability of the corpus can only be determined via correct interannotator agreement measurement methodology (Artstein, & Poesio, 2008). In this thesis, a methodology was defined to measure the inter-annotator agreement among the TDB annotators. The statistical tests and the agreement coefficients that are widely used in scientific communities, including Cochran’s Q test (1950), Fleiss’ Kappa (1971...
The heritage of the Vienna circle: the revival of empiricism through the assimilation of metaphysics Kulandina, Yavgeniy; Bağçe, Samet; Department of Philosophy (2019) This thesis aims to examine whether one can establish an evaluative account that can be efficiently applicable to the actual scientific practice. In this regard, the heritage of the Vienna Circle, particularly its ‘radical’ elaboration of empiricism implemented through the rejection of metaphysics, is taken as the starting point of analysis. Setting aside the limitations of the standard interpretation of the Vienna Circle, the heuristic aspects of Otto Neurath’s non-foundationalism are examined and further ...
A structural equation modeling study : the metacognition-knowledge model for geometry Aydın, Utkun; Ubuz, Behiye; Department of Secondary Science and Mathematics Education (2007) The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to examine the effects of knowledge on cognition and regulation of cognition on declarative knowledge, conditional knowledge, and procedural knowledge in geometry and (2) to examine the interrelationships among declarative knowledge, conditional knowledge, and procedural knowledge in geometry. The reciprocal relationships between metacognitive and knowledge factors were modeled by using data from tenth grade secondary school students. Structural equation modeling wa...
A statistical unified framework for rank-based multiple classifier decision combination Saranlı, Afşar (2001-04-01) This study presents a theoretical investigation of the rank-based multiple classifier decision combination problem, with the aim of providing a unified framework to understand a variety of such systems. The combination of the decisions of more than one classifiers with the aim of improving overall system performance is a concept of general interest in pattern recognition, as a viable alternative to designing a single sophisticated classifier. The problem of combining the classifier decisions in the raw form...
