This study examines the informal reasoning of science teachers about energy-related local socioscientific issues and the factors influencing their informal reasoning. Since socioscientific issues are open-ended and do not have a clear solution, socioscientific reasoning is considered important in discussions on these issues. Thirty-eight science teachers from the Central Anatolian Region of Türkiye took part in this qualitative descriptive study. Three scenarios were used in relation to energy-related local socioscientific issues (nuclear power plants, thermal insulation, and solar energy) for teachers’ reasoning. The teachers engaged in a reasoning process that focused on proposing solutions to local controversial dilemmas. Researchers asked teachers whether they agreed with these scenarios and to explain their reasons. Data were analysed using content analysis. Teachers' informal reasoning patterns were classified into three: rationalistic, emotive and intuitive reasoning. Also, factors influencing their reasoning were grouped according to SEE-STEP. The results of the study indicated that the science teachers mostly used rationalistic reasoning about the local socioscientific issues and environmental and economic factors affected their reasoning. Finally, the implications for reasoning on local socioscientific issues are discussed.

This study aims to develop educational software for the instrument (guitar) training course through gamification. The study was carried out by basing on the design and development research method and the processes included in the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases of the method are considered as the sub-problems of the study. In each phase, interview techniques were used and the participants were determined according to the requirements of the phases. The results reveal that students find the education with traditional methods in instrument education boring and therefore their motivation is low. As a result of the studies carried out to offer solutions to the existing problems related to motivation in instrument (guitar) education, a mobile application called Gitarist was developed and the application was revealed as a product. In the implementation phase, it was concluded that the application developed through gamification techniques had motivation-enhancing effects on students. In line with the results, some suggestions were made for technology-supported studies to be carried out in the future.As a result of the studies carried out in line with the requirements of the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation phases, the final version of the mobile application called Gitarist was formed and the application was revealed as a product.

This study aims to ascertain academicians' opinions about out-of-school learning, awareness of it, and competency to plan learning activities in such situations for the purpose of teaching in out-of-school learning environments (OSLEs). The research group of this study, which was conducted as a case study, consists of 56 academics in the physics, chemistry, biology, and science education programs of education faculties in Türkiye. The Out-of-School Learning Environments Regulation Scale and a form containing four questions were used to data collection. The results from the scale, the average score was calculated as 4.41 for academics with experience in teaching OSLEs and 3.82 for academics without such experience. The qualitative results indicate that academics mostly prefer to focus on environmental education, astronomy, living things and life, and recycling issues through out-of-school learning activities and use different types of OSLEs such as science center, recycling facility and observatory. To conclude, despite the academics' high level of competency in performing out-of-school learning activities, it is evident that they underutilize these activities in their teaching.

This study aims to examine the components of collective argumentation of pre-service middle school mathematics teachers during geometric construction activities. To scrutinize this issue, case study research was utilized. The participants were 14 pre-service middle school mathematics teachers who worked collectively by forming four groups. During the data collection process, the groups worked on four geometric construction tasks by using compass-straightedge or GeoGebra. The findings presented that the collective argumentation processes were depicted by means of eleven components. In more detail, the six components of Toulmin’s argument model which are data, warrant, claim, backing, rebuttal, and qualifier were insufficient to represent collective argumentation. Instead of claim, the term conclusion was used in this study since the associated data and warrant were provided in the argumentation. The collective argumentation processes of the groups involved not only the mentioned six components but also the five additional components, which were named conclusion/data, target conclusion, guidance, challenger, and objection. The new components might be used while investigating the argumentation process in other disciplines.

This study presents the development of a mathematical creativity test and exploration of its psychometric properties. The study was conducted in six public schools and a high ability center between 2015 and 2018. The sample of the study included 1129 middle school students. The Mathematical Creativity Test (MCT) consists of problem posing, making conjecture, and proof subtests. Each test has two items. The scores of the MCT are composed of fluency, flexibility, and creativity quotient. For construct validity, EFA yielded a 3-factor solution, namely, problem posing, making conjecture, and proof subtests. CFA confirmed the 3-factor solution, and all fit indices were found to be good. For criterion validity, one-way ANOVA for independent samples was conducted in different classes, and it showed that there was a significant difference, and Pearson's correlation coefficient was investigated between MCT scores and the report card grades of the mathematics lesson. There was a strong and positive correlation between the two variables. The internal consistency and the interrater reliability of the test scores were high.

Listening strategies are enacted plans that one can use to better understand, learn, remember, and comprehend a target language. The present study aims to examine how the process of listening strategy instruction may be implemented in the teaching of Turkish to L2 learners. The study was a qualitative one, conducted with the action research method on an online platform, Zoom. Five Turkish L2 learners participated in the study. The results show that students used the listening strategies in various frequencies and combinations during the implementation process. Throughout the implementation process, the least used strategies were relating with prior information, performance evaluation, monitoring, and inferencing, while the most frequently used strategies were note-taking, determining keywords, translating, and prediction. The students stated that prediction, note-taking, and planning were the most useful strategies for them during the implementation process. Also, the use of authentic videos in online listening strategy instruction lessons contributed to students' learning in diverse areas of interest, particularly learning new vocabulary, and thus motivate them.

Although there has been a recent surge of interest in financial literacy some inadequacies based on interdisciplinary approach in teachers' instructional practices within the scope of financial education draw attention. This research focused on improving the teaching process of elementary school teachers by integrating financial literacy into an interdisciplinary approach to social studies teaching. Research was conducted in three elementary schools with low socioeconomic status in three different cities in Türkiye. The data obtained from reflection forms, student products, and semi-structured interview forms were analyzed using MAXQDA 2020 program. As a result of examining views on the instructional practices implemented, participants indicated that they contributed to developing various instructional competencies, such as the acquisition of interdisciplinary skills, the effective use of information technologies, observing the effects of interdisciplinary, and preparing original materials and activities. In addition, participants indicated that the activities implemented provided students with opportunities to learn new financial concepts, new skills, sustained and meaningful learning, active participation, transfer to real life, positive feedback from parents, learning, and reinforcement with fun.
