Assessment practices commonly used today in K-12 settings are grounded in the theoretical perspectives popular in the early part of the 20(th) century. The recent shift in focus to educational approaches such as problem-based learning has led to calls for new assessment practices that are aligned with the social constructivist perspective. However, a potential barrier to change are the beliefs that teachers hold about assessment and how these beliefs affect teachers' willingness to implement new assessment practices. This study examined middle school teachers' beliefs about assessment within a constructivist learning environment created by a computer-based PBL program. The results are expected to inform the design of the assessment component of similar constructivist educational materials.

Explicit diversification of search results across multiple dimensions for educational search Yigit-Sert, Sevgi; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Macdonald, Craig; Ounis, Iadh; ULUSOY, ÖZGÜR (Wiley, 2020-09-01) Making use of search systems to foster learning is an emerging research trend known assearch as learning. Earlier works identified result diversification as a useful technique to support learning-oriented search, since diversification ensures a comprehensive coverage of various aspects of the queried topic in the result list. Inspired by this finding, first we define a new research problem, multidimensional result diversification, in the context of educational search. We argue that in a search engine for th...
Multiagent reinforcement learning using function approximation Abul, O; Polat, Faruk; Alhajj, R (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2000-11-01) Learning in a partially observable and nonstationary environment is still one of the challenging problems In the area of multiagent (MA) learning. Reinforcement learning is a generic method that suits the needs of MA learning in many aspects. This paper presents two new multiagent based domain independent coordination mechanisms for reinforcement learning; multiple agents do not require explicit communication among themselves to learn coordinated behavior. The first coordination mechanism Is perceptual coor...
Student perceptions on learning by design method in web-based learning environment : a case study Akman, Evrim; Karaaslan, Hasan; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2010) The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of students in an implementation of “Learning by Design” method through a web based learning environment. The information gathered from the students enrolled in the undergraduate course; “Foundations of Distance Education” in 2009 Summer School and 2009-2010 Fall Semesters was evaluated. The course was given in blended form, i.e. face to face lessons and online instructional activities were performed together. In the web based part of the course, ...
Elementary teachers’ perceptions towards ICT integration in teaching and learning process: an explanatory mixed method Başer Gülsoy, Vesile Gül; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2011) An explanatory mixed method research design was utilized to examine the elementary teachers’ (classroom teachers) perceptions towards ICT integration in education and its effect on their teaching. In the first phase instruments were translated into Turkish and pilot tested with 282 classroom teachers. For the main study, the survey was distributed to classroom teachers in 90 schools in Ankara. With a 45% percent return rate, 1055 surveys from elementary teachers were used in the quantitative data analysis p...
Student and school characteristics related to elementary students’ nature of science views Hacıeminoğlu, Esme; Ertepınar, Hamide; Yılmaz Tüzün, Özgül; Department of Elementary Education (2010) The purposes of this study were to explain the development and validation of a new instrument for assessing elementary students’ views of the Nature of Science (NOS) and to investigate student and school level factors that help to explain the difference in NOS views. The sample included 3,062 elementary students elementary schools located in Çankaya. Different from these students, 782 elementary students were the sample for the first focus of this study. The Nature of Science Instrument, Learning Approach Q...
