Abstract Teachers' decisions to nominate the students whom they think are gifted and talented... more Abstract Teachers' decisions to nominate the students whom they think are gifted and talented can seriously be negatively influenced by their possible prejudices and lack of knowledge. In this respect, it is considered that it is important to compare the teachers' nomination decisions with the tests used to officially identify gifted and talented students. In this study, it is aimed to identify the relationship between the teachers’ nominations and the results from the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM) of students who are identified as gifted or non-gifted. Also, the effects of gender on teacher’s nominations or RSPM results have been examined. The relational survey model, one of the quantitative research models, was used in the research. The number of students to be included in the research was determined by using stratified sampling, which is one of the probabilistic sampling methods. Accordingly, 385 students studying from the 1 st grade to the 4th grade in the selected schools formed the sample of the research. In this study, RSPM was used to determine whether students are gifted or not. Teachers were also given a form in which they could list the students' names, surnames, and gender to nominate the gifted students. Chi-square test was used in the analysis of the data obtained from the research. If the relationship was significant as a result of the chi-square test analysis, the strength of the relationship was examined by using Phi & Cramer V test. According to the obtained results, although there was an acceptable significant relationship between RSPM results and teacher’s nominations in diagnosing gifted students, it was observed that success of the teachers’ nomination was not sufficient, and RSPM results, teachers' nominations and gender factor were not related. Also, the results indicate that teachers showed a bias towards male students in nomination.

Anahtar Sozcukler: Ogrenci Merkezli Egitim, Probleme Dayali Ogrenme, Aktif Ogrenme, Matematik Egitimi ABSTRACT The need to use mathematics, which is an indispensable part of our lives, brings with it demands from individuals to have basic mathematical skills in daily life in today's societies. While the traditional mathematics education claims to have students reach to the solution by learning the concept and strategies, active learning, which emerged in recent times, advocates that students must understand mathematics by their own conceptions. PBL is a learner-centered instructional approach that empowers learners to conduct research, integrate theory and practice, and apply knowledge and skills to develop a viable solution to a defined problem (Savery, 2006). This research aims to determine comparatively the views of faculty members and students, who are in the faculties in which PBL method is applied, about the learning process. The sample is formed by 24 faculty members and 27 students who are involved in PBL process in various parts of Dokuz Eylul University. In the study, two forms of interview prepared by the researcher were used. As a result, it is shown that the faculty members' and students' views are generally correlated. Both the faculty members and the students believe that PBL is an effective method that can deliver significant gains to the individual, but it has some disadvantages caused by the system and way of application. In addition, both students and faculty members think that problem based learning has positive effects on attitudes towards mathematics and it can be applied efficiently in Mathematics education. On the other hand, they also believe that this efficiency will increase if the method can be applied as blended with the implementations of classical education.

Determining the learning styles in advance plays an important role in the design of the learning ... more Determining the learning styles in advance plays an important role in the design of the learning environment, in the preparation of the instructor’s course content, and in the learning process of the learner in particular. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (KLSI) is one of the most widely used tools to determine learning styles. However, some problems such as misunderstood or unanswered questions can be encountered in application and evaluation stages of the KLSI as in the other questionnaires, scales or psychological tests. The aim of this study is to develop a model proposal for determining learning styles of students by using machine learning techniques and KLSI Version III (KLSI-III) and based on this model to develop an application that can be accessible both online and on mobile devices. For this purpose, data set of this research was created by adding the age and gender attributes to the answers given as the most appropriate option to KLSI-III (unlike Kolb’s original evaluation method). Machine learning techniques such as k-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm and Naive Bayes Classifier were applied to this data set and the model with the highest performance has been selected out of this data set. As the application developed within the scope of this study can be easily integrated into e-learning systems; it is thought that it is important for the teachers to facilitate the process of determining the learning styles of the students and accordingly to enable the student-centered design of the training activities and the scientific studies reaching more students.

Bunlar; öğrenciye sunulan imkânlar, materyal desteği, kullanılan öğrenme öğretme yöntemlerinin yeterliliği ve etkililiği, sosyal ve ekonomik durum, öğretmenin tutumu vb. Ģeklinde bireyden kaynaklanmayan dıĢsal faktörler olabileceği gibi, bizzat bireyin kendisinden kaynaklanan içsel faktörler de olabilir. Bu içsel faktörlerden bir tanesi de son yıllarda ön plana çıkan öğrenilmiĢ çaresizlik davranıĢıdır.

Anahtar Sozcukler: Ogrenci Merkezli Egitim, Probleme Dayali Ogrenme, Aktif Ogrenme, Matematik Egitimi ABSTRACT The need to use mathematics, which is an indispensable part of our lives, brings with it demands from individuals to have basic mathematical skills in daily life in today's societies. While the traditional mathematics education claims to have students reach to the solution by learning the concept and strategies, active learning, which emerged in recent times, advocates that students must understand mathematics by their own conceptions. PBL is a learner-centered instructional approach that empowers learners to conduct research, integrate theory and practice, and apply knowledge and skills to develop a viable solution to a defined problem (Savery, 2006). This research aims to determine comparatively the views of faculty members and students, who are in the faculties in which PBL method is applied, about the learning process. The sample is formed by 24 faculty members and 27 students who are involved in PBL process in various parts of Dokuz Eylul University. In the study, two forms of interview prepared by the researcher were used. As a result, it is shown that the faculty members' and students' views are generally correlated. Both the faculty members and the students believe that PBL is an effective method that can deliver significant gains to the individual, but it has some disadvantages caused by the system and way of application. In addition, both students and faculty members think that problem based learning has positive effects on attitudes towards mathematics and it can be applied efficiently in Mathematics education. On the other hand, they also believe that this efficiency will increase if the method can be applied as blended with the implementations of classical education.

In the research, relational survey model which is one of the general survey models was used. The sample of the study consists of 280 students totally, including 101 secondary school students and 179 vocational high school students, studying in İzmir. The data of the study was collected by using "Real Life Situation Scenario Information Technologies Scale" which is adapted to Turkish by . In order to determine the suitability of the 68-point
Determining the learning styles in advance plays an important role in the design of the learning ... more Determining the learning styles in advance plays an important role in the design of the learning environment, in the preparation of the instructor’s course content, and in the learning process of the learner in particular. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory (KLSI) is one of the most widely used tools to determine learning styles. However, some problems such as misunderstood or unanswered questions can be encountered in application and evaluation stages of the KLSI as in the other questionnaires, scales or psychological tests. The aim of this study is to develop a model proposal for determining learning styles of students by using machine learning techniques and KLSI Version III (KLSI-III) and based on this model to develop an application that can be accessible both online and on mobile devices. For this purpose, data set of this research was created by adding the age and gender attributes to the answers given as the most appropriate option to KLSI-III (unlike Kolb’s original evaluation method). Machine learning techniques such as k-Nearest Neighbor Algorithm, C4.5 Decision Tree Algorithm and Naive Bayes Classifier were applied to this data set and the model with the highest performance has been selected out of this data set. As the application developed within the scope of this study can be easily integrated into e-learning systems; it is thought that it is important for the teachers to facilitate the process of determining the learning styles of the students and accordingly to enable the student-centered design of the training activities and the scientific studies reaching more students.
