Article Techno-Philosophical and Techno-Pedagogical Implications of a Nonformal Technology and Design Education Model to Empower Youth: T3 Foundation's Deneyap Technology Workshops Program(Springer, 2026) Bulut, Mehmet Akin; Kocoglu, Merve; Bas, Fatma Ruveyda; Gulunay, Oksana; Birgili, BengiThis mixed-methods analysis explores the DENEYAP Technology Workshops program, launched by the T3 Foundation in 2017, which aims to develop scientific thinking and problem solving at the intersection of teaching technology skills and design thinking among 4th- and 9th- graders through nonformal learning. The study sought to investigate the program's techno-philosophical and techno-pedagogical formation. Data collection involved qualitative interviews with founders (n = 20) and program developers (n = 20). Additionally, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the program from multiple perspectives, lesson plans (n = 11) were analyzed to assess the curriculum, whereas classroom observations (n = 5) offered insights into instructional methods and learner engagement. The findings obtained through theories such as technology, pedagogy and content knowledge; technology philosophy; and design thinking reveal that the harmony between leaders' and instructional teams' visions, and the presence of a solid techno-philosophy in a technology and design education program lead to considerable success; the program's collaboration with official and unofficial institutions provides incalculable benefits; empathizing (needs analysis) stage at design cycle is crucial and yields critical insights; and the program fosters interest and competency in techno-scientific thinking skills among learners. Conversely, indicating areas in need of improvement in the program, continuous trainer professional development is pivotal; infrastructure and material provision are essential, and there is a lack of quality assurance in assessment practices, in other words, the test stage at design cycle. This study of the innovative, practical and skills-based program points to the critical role of nonformal learning in preparing the next generation for a technology-driven future through the intersection of technology and design education immersed in a strong and rigorous techno-philosophical and techno-pedagogical design.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Technology-Enhanced "gipsci" Approach in Developing Contexts Performs Well at Interest and Curiosity, Yet, Needs Reinforcing at Inquiry Level(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Birgili, Bengi; Bulut, Mehmet Akin; Gulunay, Oksana; Kocoglu, Merve; Bas, Fatma RuveydaNumerous studies explore inquiry in science centers, but technology-enhanced science centers' (TeSC) curricula remain relatively nascent. This mixed-methods study explores how the GiPSci model, a technology-enhanced science center program developed in-house by curriculum experts, supports learners' inquiry skills aligned with international standards. Data were collected through learners' products (n = 161), lesson observations (n = 20), train-the-trainer activities (n = 405), expert evaluations (n = 14), and interviews with trainers (n = 10). Findings reveal curiosity and interest scored higher than inquiry, highlighting the challenges of inquiry in tech-enhanced settings. Consensus among trainers, observations, and learners' products points to gaps in fostering inquiry skills in the TeSC program. To enhance GiPSci-like models, collaboration among program designers, trainers, and train-the-trainer providers is essential to better align the technology-enhanced science centers' program with inquiry-based learning.Book Part Technology in Assessment(Routledge, 2025) Birgili, Bengi; Chue, Kah LoongGlobally, the evolution of technological trends has inspired the creation of technology-oriented assessments. As these assessments become more ubiquitous in schools, adopting new approaches is vital to ensure that education stays relevant and beneficial to students. Thus, the overall aim of this chapter is to illustrate how assessment processes and tools can be incorporated into future learning-oriented systems, with a particular emphasis on assessment as learning. This chapter will first introduce trajectories in technology-based assessment and highlight current trends in Artificial Intelligence. Second, changes in instructional and assessment approaches will be discussed. As developing metacognitive knowledge and skills is a central aim of assessment as learning, a discussion of metacognition will follow. Third, some recommendations in classroom assessment practices that teachers can undertake will be proposed. Finally, the chapter will conclude with some thoughts on the future intersections between technology and assessment.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 Citation - Scopus: 2Optimal Video Length Effect on Flow Experience and Perceived Learning: a Repeated Measure Experimental Design With Randomization(Ozgen Korkmaz, 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; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha...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.Book Part How the Cephei E-Course Syllabus Design Was Developed and Implemented(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Kurban, Fell Caroline; Kurban, Caroline FellWhile 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.Book Part
