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 Unconventional Thinking in Online Laboratory School: Fractions(PME, 2022) Kayıtmaz, Özlem; Pekkan, Zelha Tunç; Tunç-Pekkan, Zelha...Article Citation - Scopus: 1Sixth-Grade Students’ Pattern Generalization Approaches(Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2023) Kama, Zeycan; Bostan, Mine Işıksal; Pekkan, Zelha Tunç; Işıksal Bostan, Mine; Tunç Pekkan, ZelhaThis 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 Preservice Teachers' Math Teaching Anxiety in an Online Laboratory School(2022) Ölmez, İbrahim Burak; Pekkan, Tunç Zelha; Taylan, Didem; Birgili, BengiThe purpose of this study was to examine preservice teachers’ math teaching anxiety, to explore the relationships between math teaching anxiety and several variables, and to understand how preservice teachers’ math teaching anxiety changed during eight-weeks of the Online Laboratory School (OLS) within a university. We administered the Math Teaching Anxiety scale with 14 items to 43 preservice teachers by adapting Hadley and Dorward’s (2011) scale. The results revealed that on average, preservice teachers had math teaching anxiety from “a little” to “a moderate amount” degree before the OLS and their math teaching anxiety did not significantly change during the OLS. Moreover, math teaching anxiety was only significantly correlated with the number of methods courses completed so far.Article Teaching Method Preferences of Teachers: the Cooperative Teaching Method(James Nicholas Publishers, 2016) Birgili, Bengi; Kızıltepe, Zeynep; Seggie, Fatma NevraTeachers’ preferred teaching methods are of the utmost importance. The aim of this qualitative study is to examine 47 primary and secondary-school teachers’ (1) teaching method preferences, (2) reasons for group work preferences, and (3) implementation paths for the methods they use. Results show that (1) teachers mostly prefer direct instruction; group work is the second preference; (2) permanent learning, physical conditions, and comprehensive programs are the result of the preference; (3) while teachers are implementing the cooperative method, they implement activities and projects at all levels, form the groups themselves based on students’ qualifications, and see the highest success in 4th, 6th, and 11th grades.Book Part A Dilemma in Turkish Examination System: Open-Ended or Multiple-Choice?(Bialystok: E-BWN Publication, 2017) Birgili, Bengi; Kiraz, ErcanMinistry of National Education (MoNE) in Turkey, expressed the transition to Kazakh Examination System (Haberturk; 2013; Sabah, 2013; TEDMEM, 2013; TRTNews, 2013; Vatan, 2013) in evaluating student success in Turkish schools.Conference Object Introduction To the Papers of Twg19: Mathematics Teachers and Classroom Practices(Dublin City Univ Glasnevin Campus, 2017) Mosvold, Reidar; Skott, Jeppe; Taylan, Rukiye Didem; Drageset, Ove Gunnar; Sakonidis, Charalampos…Conference Object Mathematics Teacher Education With University Within School Model and Flipped Classroom Technique(2016) Tunç-Pekkan, ZelhaAbstract : I taught ‘Introduction to Mathematics Teaching course’ using Flipped classroom. This was the first time I used flipped classroom to teach this course. The main objective of the course was to introduce the ‘mathematics teaching’ profession to first year students and to have pre-service teachers some teaching experience with children. For this course, we also adapted University within School model, where we valued the experience of being at our work places which is ‘schools.’ MEF University adopted this model for the whole Faculty of Education. Flipped classroom technique was adopted university wide. Therefore, this course is unique that it connects both University within school model and flipped classroom method. In Flipped classroom, it is essential to use videos. Throughout 14 weeks of instruction, we had four main sources of videos: 1) videos that I created related to reading the book called ‘Empowering Beginning Middle School Teachers’ 2) pre-service teachers’ own created videos (related to their teaching of 6th grade students) 3) videos that I took last year during my own teaching of 5th grade mathematics classroom 4) YouTube videos from a well known mathematics educator, Jo Boaler- Stanford University, about mathematics education. In the presentation, I will discuss how we used the videos, what the benefits and disadvantages of using them are. Using University within School model, each pre-service teacher was assigned to a pair of students that they taught parallel concepts to the school mathematics. They had 8-weeks of one-to-one teaching for 2 hours per week. Related to pre-service teachers’ interactions with 6th grade students, they had weekly reflection journals which they answered structured questions. In the presentation, I will discuss the details of their journals and the feedbacks they gave about their experiences related to the foundations of this course.Conference Object
