The aim of this research was to develop a STEAM-based program for teaching middle school students the concept of time to enhance their computational thinking skills. The proposed Time Teaching Program (TTP) consists of modules and activities on the definition of time, historical development of time measurement tools, universal time measurement syst...
Over the past two decades, the integration of computational thinking, as well as information and communications technology within educational programs, has gained importance. A primary obstacle to integrating computational thinking into teaching and learning is the level of teachers' knowledge, skills, and perceptions related to this topic. This st...
This research was aimed at summarizing experimental evidence regarding computational thinking and programming conducted in early childhood education in terms of the variables of plugged-in versus unplugged, age, and gender. For this purpose, the WoS, Scopus, and Eric databases were scanned, and studies determined to be within the scope of the syste...
This study reports the findings of a program that aims to develop pre-service science teachers’ computational problem-solving skills and views on using information and communications technology in science education. To this end, pre-service science teachers were trained on computational thinking, computational problem solving, designing an algorith...
In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of cooperative learning on the computational thinking skills and academic performances of middle school students in the computational problem-solving approach. We used the pretest-posttest control group design of the quasi-experimental method. In the research, computational problem-solving activitie...
The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions and competencies of secondary school science teachers in Turkey regarding multicultural education. The study was conducted with the explanatory design of mixed methods. Quantitative data were collected with the Multicultural Competence Perceptions Scale and the Multicultural Education Percepti...
This study explores the significance of forest schools in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically their effects on children’s developmental areas. This study was conducted with nine preschool teachers and 134 children attending a public forest school in southern Turkey in 2021. A combination of observation protocols, anecdotal records, a...
This research aims to determine how prospective preschool teachers' epistemological beliefs and nature of science (NoS) views predict their science teaching attitudes, and to interpret which sub-dimensions of NoS views and epistemological beliefs are more influence science teaching attitudes using the Topological Analysis of Correlations (TACO) mod...
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a research project conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which evaluates the knowledge and skills gained by 15-year-old students over three-year terms. Within this study's' scope, the PISA 2015 data were analysed to determine whether school-related factors...
Uluslararası Öğrenci Değerlendirme Programı (PISA), katılımcı ülkelerin eğitim çıktıları hakkında bilgi edinilmesine duyulan ihtiyaç nedeniyle ortaya çıkmıştır. Söz konusu ihtiyaç çerçevesinde uygulanan PISA araştırmaları, farklı ülkelerde öğrenim gören öğrencilerin bilgi ve becerilerinin ayrıntılı olarak ölçülmesini hedeflemektedir. Böylece PISA,...
This chapter starts by focusing on the multicultural education needs in Turkey and tries to define and discuss these needs. Then the features of multicultural science education are described using examples from practices given in the literature. In this context, multicultural science education is discussed under the headings of learning strategies,...
In recent years, the trend in science education is toward scientific processes rather than scientific knowledge. An effective science education not only requires the active involvement of students in scientific investigations, but also the development of engagement in discussions about scientific and social issues. To develop students' discussion a...

zet Bu çalışma kapsamında fen eğitimi ve kimya eğitiminde laboratuvar uygulamalarına yönelik literatürde yer alan çalışmalar incelenerek belli başlıklar altında özetlenmiş ve literatürdeki eksiklikler gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada Türkiye'de yapılmış ve 2000 ile 2015 yılları arasında yayımlanmış toplam 42 makale, yüksek lisans ve doktora te...
Epistemology is the branch of philosophy that investigates human knowledge, in particular its source, nature, limitations, system, and accuracy. The most critical issues in epistemology are considered to be belief in the nature of knowledge and belief in the nature of knowing. Since epistemology involves the structuring processes of knowledge, it a...
z Bu makale kapsamında, öncelikli olarak Bilgi İşlemsel Düşünme (computational thinking) Becerisi ele alınmış ve bu beceriyi temel noktalarından biri olarak ele alan STEM yaklaşımı ve bu yaklaşıma getirilen eleştirilerden doğan STEAM (Fen-Teknoloji-Mühendislik-Sanat-Matematik) yaklaşımı üzerinde durularak farklı ülkelerdeki eğitimcilerin bakış açıl...
This research aims to improve students’ modeling abilities via provide them opportunity of constructing, testing, using and revising their own models, and develop their views about nature of science. For this purpose, Concurrent – Triangulation Design was used as mixed method. Study was done with 114 seventh grade students and three science teacher...
In this study to what degree the modeling based science education can influence the development of the critical thinking skills of the students was investigated. The research was based on pre-test – pst-test quasi-experimental design with control group. The Modeling Based Science Education Program which was prepared with the purpose of exploring th...
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the primary science education based on science process skills on the scientific problem solving skills of elementary students. In the study, quasi-experimental design with a control group was used. In order to determine the scientific problem solving skills of the students, Scientific Problem...
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of V-diagrams in Science and Technology laboratory teaching on preservice teachers' critical thinking dispositions. In accordance with the purpose, matching only pretest-posttest control group design was used. The study was carried out with 60 teacher candidates enrolled in the Elementary Teacher...
In this study, of the developmental domains in Pre-school Education Program 2009 for Children 60-72 months of age, inclusion frequency of science process skill attainments in cognitive domain in the daily lesson plans practiced in a year and the awareness levels of the pre-school teachers regarding science process skills are examined. In respect to...
