Article Investigating the Appropriateness of a Course Evaluation Model: Preservice Teachers Flipped Learning Experience(Anı Yayıncılık, 2025) Birgili, Bengi; Aydın, Utkun; Kurban, Caroline FellParlett and Hamilton’s (1972) Illuminative Evaluation Model (IEM) was adopted to research course evaluation in flipped learning environments. An integrated data set, including teaching videos, interviews from 17 preservice teachers, and course materials, was collected and analyzed in an educational sciences course. Both quantitative and qualitative data showed that this model, within its learning milieu and instructional systems aspects, had the potential to be a suitable method for instructors to evaluate the quality of their flipped courses. These relationships between the learning milieu and instructional systems provide evidence of the complexity of evaluation. This study demonstrates how the IEM helps uncover the design of a flipped educational sciences course and offers a suitable model for flipped course evaluation. Finally, the implications of this study for general instructional design are discussed.Article Çevrim-İçi Matematik Öğretimi Alan Deneyiminde Teori ve Pratik Arasındaki Mesafe Üzerine Bir İnceleme(Mehmet Tekerek, 2025) Ӧlmez, İbrahim; Pekkan, Zelha Tunc; Birgili, Bengi; Taylan, Rukiye DidemGeçmiş çalışmalar, öğretmen adaylarının teori ve pratiği birleştirme becerisinin, derste öğrendiklerinipratiğe dökebilmek için artan öneminden bahsetmektedir.

However, there are uncertainties regarding how IPV is more specifically experienced in LGB relationships. We explore how LGB individuals exposed to IPV make sense of the potentially more specific ways in which IPV is enacted and experienced in LGB relationships. Method: We conducted 26 in-depth interviews with LGB individuals (aged between 19 and 70) in Norway who had experienced IPV. We used a (reflexive) thematic analysis to discern the specific themes that captured how our participants related to IPV. Results: We first illustrate the four types of IPV that our participants talked about: psychological, physical, sexual, and economical. We then present the three main themes that we generated based on the participants' interviews, exploring the more specific ways in which IPV may be experienced in LGB relationships: (a) being dominated, (b) invalidation of sexual orientation, and (c) jealousy-based vulnerability. Conclusions: These findings underscore the prominent role that sexual orientation plays in IPV experiences. Being an LGB individual may generate specific IPV experiences among this group in Norway. The potentially distinct ways in which IPV is enacted and experienced in LGB relationships are important to consider, not only to make the IPV problem among this group visible but also to tailor the psychosocial interventions to the specific needs of this group.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Optimal Video Length Effect on Flow Experience and Perceived Learning: a Repeated Measure Experimental Design With Randomization(2024) Demir, Ömer; Birgili, BengiVideos are commonly used in education. Benefitting from instructional videos in learning processes empowers students’ academic outcomes. In spite of this, educators have no consensus on optimal video length. There is a need to cease speculations on optimal video length since most of them have been relying only on context-based tips or best practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to delve into the optimal video length discussion through the lens of perceived learning and flow experience. We employed repeated measure experimental design with randomization of treatment order for each participant. Twenty-eight university students from two big cities in Türkiye volunteered to participate in the study. Short, medium, and long videos were compared via Friedman test. Results of this study substantiated instructional video length does not seem to affect students’ perceived learning and their overall flow experience. However, they tend to concentrate and focus better on short videos. We call for an end to optimal video length discussion for videos shorter than 10 minutes, especially in terms of learning. The implications relying on the findings were discussed in terms of differences between “thinking to be in flow” and “being actually in flow.” The recommendations are given in detail in the full text.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Technology Use: Analysis of Lesson Plans on Fractions in an Online Laboratory School(PME, 2022) Pekkan, Zelha Tunç; Ünal, Gizem...Conference Object Unconventional Thinking in Online Laboratory School: Fractions(PME, 2022) Kayıtmaz, Özlem; Pekkan, Zelha Tunç...Article Citation - Scopus: 1Sixth-Grade Students’ Pattern Generalization Approaches(Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023) Kama, Zeycan; Bostan, Mine Işıksal; Pekkan, Zelha TunçThis study investigates sixth-grade Turkish students’ pattern-generalization approaches among arithmetical generalization, algebraic generalization, and naïve induction. A qualitative case study design was employed. The data was collected from four sixth-grade students through the Pattern Questionnaire (PQ) and individual interviews based on the questionnaire. The findings revealed that all students generalized near terms using arithmetical generalization as the first step and then they mostly looked for a general rule through memorized procedures by skipping far term generalization. When they found the general rule, far terms were calculated by rote. In other words, students did not generalize the pattern to far terms using an algebraic generalization. The current study's findings would give valuable information to the mathematics educators regarding the necessity of avoiding creating a procedural instructional environment by focusing on the rote procedure of finding the general rule of a pattern. These findings would also expand the horizons of curriculum developers regarding the importance of objectives about both near terms and far term generalization by progressing from arithmetical generalization to algebraic generalization.Conference Object In the Pursuit of a Course Design: a Tpack-Based Geometry for Preservice Mathematics Teachers(2023) Aras, İpek Sararlar; Birgili, BengiPreservice mathematics teachers seem to need professional support regardingthe use of educational technologies to teach geometry topics. Particularly, ourprevious study showed that when it comes to their techno-pedagogical contentknowledge (TPACK), they self-report to need guidance to teach with technology.The purpose of this study was to develop a 14-week course to increase theirTPACK in hopes of bridging the knowledge gap identified in earlier studies. Thispaper summarized the course content with a humble expectation to get valuablefeedback from an international audience. The developed course includedlessons on components of TPACK, which were found to require improvement tobest meet future students’ needs in teaching geometry with technology. Wehope that preservice teachers’ TPACK levels will be improved after the course.Conference Object Differential Effect of Young Adults and Students Metacognitive Skills in Mathematics Problem Solving Process(eScholarship, 2023) Birgili, Bengi; Can, Rümeysa; Çakar, Tuna; Akar, HanifeThe purpose of this study is to examine how young adults and pupils use their metacognitive abilities such as cognitive strategies and self-checking during the mathematics problem-solving process. The study group consisted of 12 young adults selected from three different faculties in a foundation university and 32 pupils from public and privateK-12 schools, Istanbul, Turkey. Multimodal mixed-methods design was employed, where participants were asked to think out loud while solving ten mathematical problems. The experimental process was recorded with the use of eye-tracking, which was utilized to evaluate the active use of metacognitive sub-skills. The findings from the experimental process revealed that there is a significant difference between the amount of reflection of young adults’ and pupils' cognitive strategy and self-checking skill levels on their responses to mathematics problem solving process in favor of pupils.Article Citation - Scopus: 7Bilinçli-farkındalık Temelli Öz-yeterlik Ölçeği-yenilenmiş (bföö-y): Türkiye Uyarlama Çalışması(2017) Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Bulgan, Gökçe; Atalay, Zümra; Aydın, UtkunBu araştırmanın amacı, Cayoun, Francis, Kasselis ve Skilbeck (2012) tarafından geliştirilen "Bilinçli- Farkındalık Temelli Öz-yeterlik Ölçeği-Yenilenmiş"i (Mindfulness-Based Self Efficacy Scale-Revised) Türkçe'ye uyarlayarak geçerlik ve güvenirliğini araştırmaktır.

Gözlemlerle belirlenen durumlara yönelik, araştırmacı -aynı zamanda deneyimli bir okul öncesi yöneticisi- sınıf öğretmenine destek vermiştir. Veriler, üç hafta pasif gözlem (durumun belirlenmesi), altı hafta öğrenci ve öğretmen için düzenlenen uygulamalar ve bir hafta pasif gözlemle (değerlendirme) elde edilmiştir. Toplamda 41 saat sınıf gözlemi, yedi saat öğretmen görüşmesi yapılmıştır. Öğretmenin rolünün öğrencilerin davranışlarını nasıl etkilediği üzerinde analizler yapılmıştır. İlk aşamadaki gözlemler sırasında belirlenen istenmedik öğrenci ve öğretmen davranışları üzerine yoğunlaşılmış ve ilintili bir uygulama geliştirilmiştir. Bu uygulamada araştırmacı, öğrencilerin bireysel ihtiyaçları gözetmede, istenmedik davranışlarını önleme ve azaltmada örnekler üzerinden yapılan uygulamalar ve geribildirimlerle öğretmeni desteklemiştir. Öğrenci ve öğretmende görülen davranış değişiklikleri takip edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, öğrenci ve öğretmende istenmedik davranışların sıklıklarının anlamlı olarak azaldığı, öğretmenin önleyici davranışlarını geliştirdiği, sınıf yönetiminin daha olumlu yönde değiştiğini göstermiştir.Book Part How the Cephei E-Course Syllabus Design Was Developed and Implemented(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Kurban, Fell CarolineWhile the digitalization of education has been around since the 1990s, it is only since the Covid-19 pandemic that it has really taken hold in education, when universities were forced to rapidly move online and traditional patterns of teaching were no longer viable. This pushed universities to provide a blended learning environment drawing on technologies that our students, as digital natives, had already been using on a daily basis for some time. However, blended learning is only effective if underpinned by tried and tested learning frameworks—something that many universities were not prepared for when the shift to online learning took place. The Cooperative e-learning Platform for Industrial Innovation (CEPHEI) however, was already prepared and ready for this shift, as from 2017 it had been working on the development of an e-learning platform with the aim of digitizing education while also integrating the reality of professional innovation activities into the context of education according to the demands of industry. To achieve this aim, one of the first phases of the project was to identify key learning frameworks for e-course syllabus design, based on existing research, that could be used to provide recommendations for instructors in the development of their CEPHEI courses. This chapter presents the culmination of this process and provides a framework that can be used by instructors or institutions wishing to design e-learning courses. To make these frameworks tangible for the reader, examples are given throughout the chapter from an undergraduate environmental engineering course in a civil engineering department. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Assessing Mathematical Higher-Order Thinking Skills: an Analysis of Turkish University Entrance Examinations(Routledge, 2023) Aydın, Utkun; Birgili, BengiInternationally, mathematics education reform has been directed toward characterizing educational goals that go beyond topic/content/skill descriptions and develop students’ problem solving. The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy and MATH (Mathematical Assessment Task Hierarchy) Taxonomy characterize such goals. University entrance examinations have been seen as one way of accomplishing these goals and influence learning, teaching, and assessment in mathematics. The present study analyzed mathematics items (N = 1077) in Turkish university entrance examinations in 1998-2013 and objectives (N = 621) in mathematics curricula in 2005, 2011, and 2013 to determine the extent to which they represent the dimensions/categories of these taxonomies and the degree to which items are aligned with objectives in terms of reflecting the dimensions/categories of these taxonomies. The findings reveal that the items demand, to a large extent, automated computational skills; this is also evident in the relevant mathematics curricula. Implications for practice are discussed and could play a role in reforming assessment. © 2023 The Author(s).

Gagne has never insisted on using his renowned 9 Events of Instruction slavishly in situations as a viable paradigm for utilization in video design. Connecting grade level, video length, and interaction, this study seeks to determine the relevance of Gagne's prescribed 9 event sequence in instructional mathematics videos. We scrutinized 50 instructional mathematics videos on YouTube geared towards middle school pupils ranging between 5th and 8th grades. We used quantitative media content analysis for video analysis. In data analysis, partial least squares were used. Bayesian estimation was also resorted to for cross checking. The data revealed that one-third of Gagne's instructional design steps were not always present: activating prior knowledge, eliciting performance, and finally providing feedback. A mediation analysis between grade level and video length revealed that 6 events fully mediated the association between the two. We also elicited the impact of these variables on affective and behavioral interactions in videos. This study assists in creating an idiosyncratic instructional design model, called Birgili's 8 steps for instructional video design, and in infusing this with a melange of four theories. In contrast with the status quo attesting that the literature abounds with scholarly works touting the shorter is the better mantra, the results substantiated that longer may be better in leveraging video interactions provided that the length is judiciously used to conform to instructional design principles.Article Citation - WoS: 3Supporting Novice Mathematics Teachers: the Impact of an E- Mentoring and Video-Based Professional Development Program on Teachers? Noticing Skills(Modestum Ltd, 2023) Demirel, Damla; Guzel, Esra Bukova; Güzel, Esra Bukova; Güler, Mustafa; Aslan-Tutak, Fatma; Guler, Mustafa; Baki, Mujgan; Celik, Derya; Celik, Aytug Ozaltun; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Çelik, DeryaThis paper focuses on e-mentoring of novice mathematics teachers as professional development, and reports findings of the e-mentoring practices enriched with videos to improve noticing skills of novice teachers. A single group pre- and post-test study was conducted with the participation of 17 mentees, novice middle school mathematics teachers. Participants' noticing skills were assessed through a whole-class teaching video shown to them before and after the intervention. The responses of the teachers to the video assessment were analyzed considering attending, interpreting and decision-making dimensions of noticing. The results revealed that the ementoring program improved the novice mathematics teachers' noticing skills significantly in all dimensions.Article Validating Psychometric Classification of Teachers' Fraction Arithmetic Reasoning(Springer, 2023) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Izsak, AndrewIn prior work, we fit the mixture Rasch model to item responses from a fractions survey administered to a nationwide sample of middle grades mathematics teachers in the United States. The mixture Rasch model located teachers on a continuous, unidimensional scale and fit best with 3 latent classes. We used item response data to generate initial interpretations of the reasoning characteristic of each latent class. Our results suggested increasing facility reasoning about fraction arithmetic from one class to the next. The present study contributes two further arguments for the validity of our initial interpretations. First, we administered the same survey to a new sample of future middle grades mathematics teachers before and after 20 weeks of instruction on multiplication, division, and fractions, and we found that from pretest to posttest future teachers transitioned from one latent class to another in ways consistent with increased proficiency in fraction arithmetic. Second, we interviewed 8 of the future teachers before and after the instruction and found that future teachers' reasoning during interviews was largely consistent with our original interpretation of the 3 latent classes. These results provide further support for our original interpretation of the mixture Rasch analysis, demonstrate the utility of our approach for capturing growth and change in future teachers' reasoning during teacher education coursework, and contribute innovative applications of psychometric models for surveying teachers' reasoning at scale.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6An Online Laboratory School Research on Pre-Service Mathematics Teachers’ Experiences and Mathematics Teaching Anxiety(Springer, 2022) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Pekkan, Tunç ZelhaDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, we founded an Online Laboratory School (OLS) under the roof of a university in Turkey to support students from public schools that were not technologically prepared for an online education and to provide an opportunity for our pre-service teachers (PSTs) to continue their internship by teaching online. The purpose of this research, consisting of two studies, was to examine experiences of 43 PSTs (first-, third- and fourth-years) during the OLS period of 8 weeks and how the OLS affected their mathematics teaching anxiety during Fall 2020. In the first study, we administered a survey to inquire into PSTs’ views on their experiences at the OLS, and in the second study we examined their mathematics teaching anxiety before and after the OLS experience using another survey. One main result was that the OLS experience served as an effective introduction to the profession for first-year PSTs and fourth- and third-year PSTs reported learning in-depth about online teaching in terms of the planning, teaching, and reflecting cycle. Another main result was that PSTs had mathematics teaching anxiety from “a little” to “a moderate amount” before the OLS and their teaching anxiety did not significantly change during the OLS period of 8 weeks. PSTs experienced highest mathematics teaching anxiety when they were observed and evaluated by supervisors during their teaching. The implications of these findings are discussed for teacher education programs.Conference Object Enhancing Prospective Mathematics Teachers’ Noticing Skills Through Online Laboratory School Activities(PME, 2022) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha; Birgili, BengiThis study investigated how prospective mathematics teachers’ (PMT) noticing skills, (i.e., attending, interpretation, and decision-making) were influenced through online laboratory school (OLS) activities. OLS provided PMTs opportunities for online fieldwork and work with students. The activities included lesson planning with peers under the supervision of academicians and experienced teachers, teaching, reflection and getting feedback. PMTs’ reflections on a video-taped lesson served as the pre-post assessment of the intervention. Quantitative analyses of data indicated PMTs showed statistically significant improvement in both interpretation and decision-making. Attending, on the other hand, was improved but not in a statistically significant way.Book Part
