Completed Research Projects
The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK) supported the project titled "THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-SUPPORTED AUTONOMOUS LEARNING MODEL" project, funded under the 4005 Innovative Education Applications program, provided training to 25 teachers working at Science and Art Centers (BILSEM) on designing artificial intelligence-supported lessons using an autonomous learning model. The project was successfully completed under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Hakan AKÇAY, Faculty Member of Mathematics and Science Education at the Faculty of Education.
This project's goal is to provide recommendations on what to study, which is
one of the most difficult aspects of studying for an average student. In this context, by
integrating multi-stage tests with artificial intelligence, it is intended to create a course study
plan engine. This project is supported by TÜBİTAK 1711 in which BounAdaptiveTestLab,
Kunduz and Polinom Educational Institutions serve as project partners.
Self-regulation competence is one of the key components of successful education. In order to prepare students for self-regulated learning (SRL), teachers need to induce the use of learning strategies and support students in the process of learning those skills. One important prerequisite for adequately supporting each student is the diagnostic competence of the teachers in the field of SRL. The goal of the study is to find out, how accurate preservice teachers can judge the competence of students to use self-regulation strategies and what information they use for their judgment.
For the analysis of the study, judgment accuracy as well as the use of cues is measured and the relationship between these two variables is investigated. Additionally the influence of teacher experience, knowledge and competencies regarding SRL is explored. The study will be done as a multilab-study in order to compare the use of SRL cues across three countries, that is: Turkey, Switzerland, and Germany. Therefore, all material is provided in German for the German and Swiss participants and in English for the Turkish participants.
-to develop a comprehensive assessment framework for assessment literacy that fulfills the
demands of modernized assessment standards and current needs in assessment practices.
-to develop a multistage test for measuring assessment literacy of preservice and inservice
teachers that corresponds with updated dimensions of assessment literacy to validate the new
assessment framework.
The aims of this project as follows:
• to determine pre-service mathematics teachers' knowledge and understanding of probability concepts
• to observe their readiness for teaching probability
• to improve their probability teaching skills by using the framework of statistics teaching through data research and digital simulations.
The aims of this project as follows:
• to investigate the effects of these meetings on students' interests and attitudes towards STEM fields,
• to explore the similarities and differences between the views of stakeholders (i.e. students, teachers, and scientists) about the attainment of science communication experience
• to examine the number, focus, and quality of student questions before and during these meetings.
-develop a Computerized Adaptive Test (CAT) to assess elementary school students' mathematical abilities at the end of their elementary school years
-investigate the effect of selecting the first set of items according to students’ state test anxiety levels in CAT applications
❏ to set up a multidisciplinary Virtual Reality Laboratory at Boğaziçi
University.
❏ to conduct basic research on visuo-motor coordination, avatar
representation, body ownership and body-schema in order to have
a better understanding of the brain in action.
❏ to investigate the ways in which multimodal data can be used for
studying self-regulated learning and explore new ways in which we
can apply VR technologies into the field of education in order to
improve preservice teachers’ (and students’) learning.
