Self-Directed Learning Scale (SDLS) developed by Lounsbury, Levy, Park, Gibson, and Smith (2009) was used for determining individuals' self-directed learning. The purpose of this study was to translate the SDLS into Turkish and to investigate its reliability and validity with a sample of 272 university students. The SDLS, the Modified Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (MSEIS), Self-Directed Learning Inventory (SDLI), and the Causal Uncertainty Scale (CUS) for determining convergent validity was applied to the participants. Factor analyses results verified the uni-dimensionality of the scale. The test-retest correlation of SDLS was 0.82, whereas Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was founded as 0.85 in the reliability analyses. Correlation coefficients representing for convergent validities varied from - 0.30 to 0.72 (p < .01) and criterion validity of the scale was determined as 0.236 when cumulative GPA was used as criterion in the assessment of concurrent validity. The findings suggest that the Turkish adaptation of SDLS is a valid and reliable tool to measure self-directed learning in Turkish samples.

Attention mechanisms for semantic few-shot learning

One of the fundamental difficulties in contemporary supervised learning approaches is the dependency on labelled examples. Most state-of-the-art deep architectures, in particular, tend to perform poorly in the absence of large-scale annotated training sets. In many practical problems, however, it is not feasible to construct sufficiently large training sets, especially in problems involving sensitive information or consisting of a large set of fine-grained classes. One of the main topics in machine learning...
Effectiveness of Learning Objects in Primary School Social Studies Education: Achievement, Perceived Learning, Engagement and Usability
GÜRER, MELİH DERYA; Yıldırım, Zahide (2014-10-01)
Learning objects originated from the object oriented approach in computer science and defined as "any digital resource that can be reused to support learning" (Wiley, 2001), and they are also used in learning and teaching environments. However, literature on learning objects focus on their technical characteristics and metadata. Research on the effects of learning objects on teaching-learning environments especially in social studies lessons is scarce. So, this study examines the effectiveness of learning o...
Self-regulated Learning Skills: Adaptation of Scale
ŞEN, ŞENOL; YILMAZ, AYHAN; Geban, Ömer (2018-12-01)
The aim of this study is to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of Achievement Goal Scale (AGS) originally constructed by Elliot and McGregor (2001) and the Motivated Strategies for Learning Scale (MSLQ) originally constructed by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia and McKeachie (1991) in order to measure the self-regulated learning skills of high school student's in a chemistry course. The study group was comprised of 862 high school students attending a chemistry course in different public schools. The cons...
Supporting students’ scientific argumentation in technology-enhanced learning environments : distribution of scaffolds
Üstünel, Hale Havva; Tokel, Saniye Tuğba; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2013)
Over the twenty years, researchers and practitioners have developed technology tools and designed technology-enhanced learning environments to support and teach argumentation. Relevantly, Kim et al. (2007) presented a pedagogical framework to provide a valid technology-enhanced learning environment. The purpose of this design-based study was to investigate micro context dimension of this framework and to analyze the interactions between student-tool, teacher-student, and teacher-tool. In this respect, in or...
Participant centred learning in management education: the case for learning in Turkey
Andrews, Scott; Wasti Pamuksuz, Syeda Nazlı (null; 2018-09-12)
Current research into participant centred learning (PCL) has identified that management education is often criticized for being "repositories of multiple frameworks that are not tightly integrated and are aging rapidly" (Mahoney & McGahan, 2007, p. 86). Others have voiced concerns with regard to the lack of effectiveness of strategic management education (Jarzabkowski & Kaplan, 2015; Porter & McKibbin, 1988; Mintzberg & Gosling, 2002). This has led to increasingly frequent calls for more relevant and practi...
