We present a machine learning (ML) model which identifies the phase of cognitive presence exhibited by a student’s post and suggest future applications of such a model to help online students develop higher-order thinking. We collect discussion forum transcript data from two online courses: CS1301 (an introductory computer programming MOOC) offered by edX and CS6601 (a graduate course on artificial intelligence) which uses the Piazza online discussion tool. We manually code a random sample of students’ posts based on the Community of Inquiry coding scheme and explore trends in cognitive presence within and across the courses. We further use this coded data to analyze the relationship between students’ observed cognitive presence and course grades. In terms of testing and building an ML model, we use a Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers mode...

Then, ICT have offered a favorable environment for the development and use of various methods and tools. With the developments in technology, blended learning has gained considerable popularity in recent years. Together with the developments it brought along the description of particular forms of teaching with technology. Blended learning is defined simply as a learning environment that combines technology with face-to-face learning. In other words blended learning means using a variety of delivery methods to best meet the course objectives by combining face-to-face teaching in a traditional classroom with teaching online. This article examines students ’ views on blended learning environment. The study was conducted on 64 students from Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technologies in 2005–2006 fall semester in Instru...

These elements can be classified interior and exterior conditions. Learner characteristics, items of the interior conditions such as learning style, age, maturity level, interest are essential in designing learning environments process. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of learning styles on students ’ achievement in different learning environments which were designed according to principles of Generative Theory of Multimedia Learning. Research was conducted in the framework of single group repeated measures experimental design model and three different learning environments (text based, narration based and computer mediated (narration + music + text + static picture) were planned and study group studied in these environments at different times. The two instruments were...

Arastirmada, nitel arastirma yontemlerinden durum calismasi yontemi kullanilmistir). Calismada 7. ve 8. sinif ogrencileri sosyal iletisim aglarindaki (Facebook, Youtube, Myspace, Twitter, Blogs) yazismalarda Turkcenin (dilin) nasil kullanildigi incelenmis, yanlislari tespit etmis ve dilin dogru kullanilmasina donuk cozum onerileri sunmuslardir. Ogrenciler, sosyal iletisim aglarinda Turkce kullanim yanlislarini ses ozelikleri ile ilgili yanlis kullanimlar, sozcuklerle ilgili yanlis kullanimlar, cumleler ile ilgili yanlis kullanimlar, yazim ozellikleriyle ilgili yanlis kullanimlar boyutlarinda degerlendirmislerdir. Ogrencilerin acik uclu sorulara verdikleri yanitlari ve surece donuk yansimalarini ...

The main objective was to establish a model of linear, empirical, associative to infer needs and proposals for intervening in emotional health in the different profiles of university students. A total of 642 undergraduate students participated in this research. Evidence of associative relations between personality factors, self-regulation and coping strategies was found. The neuroticism factor had a significant negative associative relationship with Self-Regulation both globally and in its factors; especially important was its negative relation to decision making, and coping strategies focused in emotion. The results of Structural Equation Model showed an acceptable model of relationships, in each emotional context. Results and practical implications are discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the students' learning styles and their views on blended learning. The study was conducted with thirty-four students at Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey. The two instruments were the questionnaire designed to identify students' views on blended learning and Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) to measure students' learning styles. Additional data were gathered from achievement scores of students; and records demonstrate students' participation to e - learning environment. Results revealed that students' views on blended learning process, such as ease of use of the web environment, evaluation, face to face environment etc., differ according ...

The case study among the qualitative research methods was used. In the study, 7th and 8 grade students examined how Turkish (language) is used in the correspondences in the online social networks (Facebook, Youtube, Myspace, Twitter, Blogs), detected the mistakes and presented solution suggestions towards the correct use of the language. The students assessed the mistakes in the use of Turkish in the online social networks with the dimensions of the mistakes about the phonetics, the mistakes about the words, mistakes about the sentences and the mistakes about the spelling. The content analysis was carried out in order to examine the answers given by the students to the openended...

Although the precedent examples dated back to the 1950s, trend studies within ET have gradually been increasing since the 1970s. This study aimed to examine the ET publications and research trends in a 5-year time period from 2014 to 2018. With a bibliographic mapping tool, namely VOSviewer, three research questions were addressed relating to collaborations, concepts, and citations in educational technology studies. The data set was extracted from ISI Web of Science databases and included 1690 articles published in six educational technology journals between 2014 and 2018. We used co-authorship analysis to determine the collaborating researchers’ institutions and their geographical locations (countries) when they published the articles. A co-occurrence analysis was used to investigate concepts. Finally, a co-citation analysis was employed to determine the most cited papers and journals. Co-authorship analyses revealed that the number of articles published by researchers afliated with institutions in the USA was the highest in the data set. According to co-occurrence analysis, online learning, especially in open learning environments, was the most studied concept. Moreover, co-citation analysis showed that the most frequently cited articles were published in Computers & Education. Additional findings, discussion, and limitations of the study were explained in the full text.
