Nowadays, the necessity of designing proper differentiated tasks for mathematically gifted students is a remarkable subject in international literature and practice. In this design-based study, it was aimed to analyze and construct characteristics for designing differentiated tasks of mathematically gifted students. Through this design process, preliminary and prototyping phases were used as a general framework to reveal these characteristics as design principles of the study. Literature reviews, experiences of practitioners and needs analysis studies about suggestions and key points reflecting the characteristics of differentiated tasks were conducted in preliminary research phase. After this phase, initial form of differentiated tasks with draft design principles were applied in classrooms in try-outs and field test with 12 mathematically gifted students and 4 mathematics teachers of these classrooms. The data obtained through qualitative methods lead to three categories; initial design principles as characteristics obtained through preliminary phase, modifications for tasks, and final design principles as characteristics obtained through prototyping phase.

A study on teachers’ awareness and practices of integrating citizenship into the efl middle school curriculum.
Kıyak, Suna; Akar, Hanife; Department of Educational Sciences (2020)
Integration of citizenship components into foreign language education is an important issue drawing attention from scholars, researchers and practitioners over half a century since English has become the language of the world. In this particular study, the major aim is to examine language education from a citizenship related perspective since Turkish middle school curriculum policy regards citizenship education from an integrated curriculum policy. To this end, the place of citizenship in the foreign langua...
The role of perceived classroom goal structures, self-efficacy, and the student engagement in seventh grade students' science achievement
Hıdıroğlu, Fatma Melike; Sungur, Semra; Department of Elementary Science and Mathematics Education (2014)
The aim of this study was to explore how students’ perceptions of classroom goal structures in terms of motivating tasks, autonomy support, and mastery evaluation; their engagement (i.e. behavioral, emotional, cognitive and agentic engagement), and self-efficacy in science are related to their science achievement. For this purpose, a path model was proposed and tested. In the model, it was hypothesized that perceptions of classroom goal structures are related to all aspect of student engagement and self-eff...
A functional perspective on examining the mathematical teacher talk in a multilingual secondary classroom
Celebi-Ilhan, E. Gul (2012-07-04)
This paper draws on social semiotics, and functional perspective of language to analyze teacher participation into the social practice/activity of mathematical meaning making in a multilingual secondary classroom. According to these perspectives, language is taken as discourse and is used to make meanings where exchange of meanings takes place between the participants of the social practice. I present an analysis of a mathematical text to reveal the functions fulfilled by teacher talk/discourse in construct...
An Analysis of the opportunities to learn afforded by the tasks in a ninth grade Turkish mathematics textbook
Bayraktar, İmren; Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat; Department of Mathematics and Science Education (2019)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the learning opportunities afforded in the tasks related to the number and quantity in a ninth-grade mathematics textbook used throughout Turkey by the majority of the students. The analysis of the tasks was guided by the PISA 2012 Mathematics Framework in terms of the process capabilities needed to solve tasks, contextualization, and proficiency levels required to solve the tasks. Analysis of the 400 tasks related to the number and quantity revealed that while a...
A QUALITATIVE EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF A THEMATIC LITERATURE UNIT ON STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION TO LEARN ENGLISH
Günbay, Sinem; Daloğlu, Ayşegül; Department of English Language Teaching (2021-9-3)
The idea of using works of literature in the teaching of English has been discussed among language teachers and researchers for a long time due to its benefits in terms of language, culture and its positive impact on the individual’s personal development (Carter & Long, 1991). This thesis aims at demonstrating the benefits that literature has to offer with regards to learners’ motivation to learn English through a thematic literature unit specially designed for the participants. In order to collect data, fo...
