Open Educational Resources (OER) and OpenCourseWare (OCW) target barriers of education and learning by sharing knowledge for free to benefit self-learners, educators, and students. This study aims to investigate the use of OER both as a supplementary resource for a traditional course and as a resource for self-learners. First, the attitudes and perceptions of undergraduate students toward using a General Physics Laboratory OER and about how those resources contributed to the outcomes of the course were determined. Second, public usage of resources was assessed by analyzing OER access statistics. Resources were designed to encourage students to review experiments before laboratory sessions. Results indicated that students who used the OER experienced benefits to their learning processes. In line with their aim, the resources facilitated preparedness for the course. More than half of the respondents deemed supplementary resources unnecessary. On the other hand, selfmotivated learners found, reviewed, and benefited from the resources

Using an online portfolio course in assessing students work Yılmaz, Harun; Çetinkaya, Bülent (2007-01-01) New developments and advancements in informational technology bring about several alternative avenues for educators to select in supporting and evaluating their students’ learning. Online portfolio is a fairly new technique in this regard. As the online education grows, use of online portfolio becomes more vital for educational programs. At Virginia Tech, in the program of Instructional Technology Master's of Art Degree (ITMA), an online portfolio evaluation course is designed with the goals of reviewing an...
Implementation of Education for Sustainability in Turkish Pre-Service Teachers' Practicum Alici, Sule; Alan, Havva Ayça (2022-01-01) In this study, we explored early childhood education pre-service teachers' (ECEPTs') understanding and pedagogical application of education for sustainability (EfS) by critically analyzing EfS implementation during ECEPTs' practicum. The study examined the challenges and critical aspects of EfS practices in the practicum, and the relationships among mentor teachers, academic mentors, and ECEPTs. A multiple case study methodology was employed involving two purposefully distinct universities with 14 participa...
Adoption of online multimedia resources in a general chemistry laboratory course context: A case study Tisoglu, Secil; Çağıltay, Kürşat; Kursun, Engin (2020-01-01) Pre-laboratory practices and online pre-laboratory resources have been implemented in laboratory courses through various instructional approaches. This study seeks to elicit information about how online multimedia resources are embraced and used in the course system and which factors might affect the adoption of the resources in this context. This research was designed as a case study in order to explore the enablers and barriers of online multimedia resource adoption and associated problems in the system t...
Use of learning trajectories based instruction to restructure pre-service elementary teachers’ mathematical content and student knowledge Yılmaz, Zuhal; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Education (2015) The purpose of this study was to explore elementary pre-service teachers’ (PTs) mathematical content knowledge (MCK) and student knowledge (SK) restructuring practices for equipartitioning related mathematical ideas. Nine senior PTs from a private university located southeastern part of the Turkey were voluntarily participated to Learning Trajectories Based Instruction (LTBI) teaching experiment. Classroom video data, written works of PTs, pre-post tests and field notes were the main sources of the data col...
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...
