Determination of Science Teacher Candidates' Opinions about Skills Education Ümmühan Ormancı, ummuhan45@gmail.com, Uludağ Üniversitesi Erkan Özcan, erkanozcan88@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Sevinç Kaçar, kacarsevinc@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Ali Günay Balım, agbalim@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi In parallel with the advancement of knowledge and technology, it is becoming increasingly important for individuals to understand how they access, analyze, and understand information rather than learn only. However, in recent years it has become important to acquire skills as well as to learn the knowledge. It can be said that it has been expressed in the 21 st -century skills especially and it is very important in the recent years that the skills such as creativity, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and knowledge and communication literacy are gained to the students. It is thought that the concept of skill in our country has just begun to enter the programs, but there is a lack of consideration of how these skills can be gained or integrated into the lectures. It is thought that it will be important in the field literature to determine what the teachers understand the skill concept, how the skill education will be done and how to integrate them into the lectures. In this context, it is aimed to determine the opinions of science teacher candidates regarding to skills education. The qualitative study was carried out by 60 science teachers. Interview form was used as data collection tool. In the form are included questions about skills concept, types of skills, skills integrated into science programs, skills training, and so on. The data obtained as a result of these applications are analyzed using descriptive and content analysis methods. As a result of the study, it is understood that the teacher candidates do not have a mastery of the skill concept and that they have deficiencies in terms of skill training, and in-depth analysis continues. Proposals will be made in parallel with the results obtained. Keywords: Science education, skills education, teacher candidates, opinion. 15

Cooperative Learning in Teaching Geometry Burcu Nur Baştürk Şahin, bnbasturk@uludag.edu.tr, Uludag University Menekşe Seden Tapan Broutin, tapan@uludag.edu.tr, Uludag University Ayşegül Gülsar, aysegulsar@hotmail.com, MEB The aim of the research is to investigate the effects of "student teams success parts" on cooperative learning techniques on students' mathematical achievements.in this research we used quantitative research methods. We utilised pre test- post test quasi-experimental design with control group. Participants of the study are 49 fifth grade students who study in a secondary school in the province of Bursa. We conducted the research for five weeks on "No math without geometry." unit. For five weeks, we used cooperative learning techniques wtih the experimental group, while using traditional teaching techniques with control group. We applied the "Achievement Test" developed by the researcher in the research both as pre-test and post-test. We analyzed the data obtained from the applications using the SPSS 17.0 package program. As a result of the research, there was a significant difference in favor of the experimental group between the mathematical achievement of the experimental group and the control group students. In this context, it can be said that inclusion of cooperative learning into the teaching process of the students will have more successful results. Keywords: Cooperative learning, student teams success parts. 16

Pre-Servıce Science Teachers' Views towards Relating Knowledge with Daily Life Erkan Özcan, erkanozcan88@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylul University Ali Günay Balım, agbalim@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylul University The aim of science course is to introduce students their environment and provide them with basic living and thinking skills. In this connection, science courses encounter students with problems related to their daily life, help them to realize and inquire these problems, provide possibilities for solution of these problems and support them in synchronization with environment. Therefore, general aims of science education curriculums are training self confident, cooperative, decisive students who have problem solving skills, inquiry learning skills, effective communication skills and sustainable development awareness. One of skills that gained importance in 2013 Science Education Program is relating knowledge with daily life. Students levels of relating knowledge with daily life is one of the main components of Turkish Science Education Program and it is expected to be promoted in science course. Therefore, science teachers should have a strong background and self efficacy about relating knowledge with daily life in order to promote in classroom and encourage their students. In this case, considering that teachers train students who have ability to relate their knowledge with daily life, they should have ability to relate knowledge with daily life themselves and graduate from teacher training institutes with proper background. In these terms, it is important to promote pre-service science teachers ability to relate knowledge with daily life perception in teacher training institutes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine pre-service science teachers views towards relating knowledge with daily life.

Teaching Analytical Geometry Using Dynamic Geometry Software Burcu Nur Baştürk Şahin, bnbasturk@uludag.edu.tr, Uludağ Üniversitesi Menekşe Seden Tapan Broutin, tapan@uludag.edu.tr, Uludağ Üniversitesi Hilal Güneş, hilalgunes27@hotmail.com, Uludağ Üniversitesi Purpose of this research is to investigate effects of dynamic geometry software usage in Analytical Geometry class academic successes and their point of views about technology usage in mathematical teaching. In this study, we utilise a mixed method design, because we use qualitative and quantitative analysis methods together in this research. In the qualitative dimension of the research, we selected experiment and control groups and utilise experimental design with pre test-post test control group. Experiment and control group of the research consisted of 30 third grade students of mathematics teaching. During the 6 weeks of the study, we teach analytical geometry with dynamic geometry software to the students in the experimental group, while we used traditional (two dimensional) methods with the control group. At the end of the application, both groups were subjected to the analytical geometry achievement test developed by the researcher. In the qualitative dimension of the research, we use structured interview form to determine the views of students participating in the study on teaching using dynamic geometry software. In the study, the students in the experimental group were found to have higher analytical geometry achievement levels than the control students. In addition, it has been observed that the majority of students are warmly inclined to use technology in teaching. It is interesting to note that the students who think that teaching with dynamic geometry software is unnecessary before the application changes in their thinking after the application. Keywords: Analytical geometry, dynamic geometry softwares. 18

Local or Imported? : Foreign Language Course Book Selection at Schools in Turkey Ayten Genç, dogu@hacettepe.edu.tr, Hacettepe Üniversitesi Doğu Ataş, doguatas83@gmail.com, Hacettepe Üniversitesi Teaching foreign languages in our national schools is one of the important issues that are often mentioned in terms of their problems and suggestions for solution. Whether the course books taught in foreign language teaching will be chosen from imported foreign language course books or from local ones written in commissions established by the Ministry of National Education or printed in the publishing houses in Turkey are frequently discussed. Actually, the Ministry of National Education publishes a list of textbooks that it finds suitable for schooling in the Journal of Notices every academic year and even distributes it to students free of charge. However, due to a number of factors such as the difference in the amount of time dedicated to teaching foreign languages in public and private schools, or the issue of paper quality in local course books, imported course books are often the more appealing option. Although maintaining diversity in the number of foreign language course books breeds competition and promotes better product quality, thereby offering various choices for foreign language teachers, the fact that local course books are distributed free of charge and that local course books are not used if imported books are preferred creates a financial problem for local production of these books. Nevertheless, the main problem has less to do with finance and more with academic content. The important question here is whether the local or imported foreign language teaching course books will meet the needs of Turkish students and contribute to success in teaching. It is necessary to identify the needs of Turkish students and to introduce them to appropriate course books in accordance with the changing student profile. In this study, opinions of foreign language teachers working at public and private schools will be used and the opinions of Turkish students about which course books can be used more for foreign language teaching and their choices about course book selections will be examined. Keywords: Foreign language course book selection, imported course book, local course book. 19

Analyzing the Factors Affecting the Overall Performance on Reading Skills by Using Two Level Hierarchical Liner Modelling Doğu Ataş, doguatas83@gmail.com, Hacettepe Üniversitesi Özge Karadağ, ozgekaradag@hacettepe.edu.tr, Hacettepe Üniversitesi In the field of education, most of the data that are collected, are multi-level structured. Cities, city based schools, school based classes and finally the students in the classrooms constitute a hierarchical structure. Hierarchical linear models give more accurate results compared to standard models when the data set has a structure going far as individuals, groups of individuals and communities of groups. In this study, the effects of the school level indicators on overall reading skills performance of 15 age group students within PISA 2015 Turkey application are analyzed by using a two level hierarchical linear model. In the study, apart from the sex, social economic indicators of family, education level of parents and some student level indicators regarding reading skills, the school level indicators such as school type, number of students and number of teachers are also integrated to modelling process to reflecting the hierarchical data structure into the statistical model. At the end of the modelling process, the factors that effects the reading skills are determined. Keywords: PISA 2015, reading skills, multilevel modelling, hierarchical linear models, school level variables 20

Values-Based Education that Provides Cultural Continuity in the 2017 Turkish Teaching Program İlyas Yazar, iyazar@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Sevtap Yazar, sevtapyazar@gmail.com, Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı The concept of value first used by Znaniecki is a concept derived from the root of "valere" which means "to be precious" or "to be strong" in Latin. The value of the word in the current Turkish Language Association is defined as "the whole of material and spiritual characters that encompass the social, cultural, economic and scientific values of a nation." Each nation has its own values, which are the rules that must be observed by the individuals of that society, which connect the individuals that they have developed with each other and which are transmitted to future generations and provide cultural continuity. These values can be transmitted to future generations through institutions or individuals in the society through interaction or in the family environment as well as within a specific plan and program through organized education system. One of the most important means of transferring and teaching the cultural values of a society to future generations has always been language and literary works in which this language is used. Therefore, Turkish lesson is one of the most important courses in terms of bringing values to the students. It is possible to see that the values education in Turkish teaching is not taken as a separate title until 2017 Turkish Teaching Program but it is tried to be given to the students by earnings anda purpose of the program. However, in the Turkish Teaching Program of 2017, the approach on the value education has taken its place in the program as a separate title in the form of "Value Education in Program". In this study, in the new Turkish Teaching Program published in 2017, the acquisition of cultural values that will keep a society alive will be evaluated from the philosophy of the program to its aims, from their aims to their achievements, and the findings and suggestions about the subject will be made. Keywords: Values, cultural continuity, Turkish, Turkish teaching, Turkish program 21

Sample Activities Related to the Use of Problem-Based Learning Method in Science Courses Ali Günay Balım, agbalim@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Merve Olça, merve.olca@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Sevinç Kaçar, kacarsevinc@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Science courses aim to educate students who can investigate, inquire, think analytically and make effective decisions, using problem-solving skills. The development of all these skills in the pupils will be possible through teaching methods that will actively involve them in the learning process. One of these methods is problem based learning method (PBL). PBL is a learning-teaching approach in which learners actively participate in the learning process in an effort to identify and solve the problem situation hidden in this scenario. In this context, it is thought that PBL will be effective for students to acquire skills such as scientific process skills in learning science concepts. In this study, it is aimed to present examples of modules and activities related to the use of problem based learning in science classes. For this purpose, the 6th grade "Reproduction, Growth and Development in Plants and Animals" unit of the secondary school was designated as a study area of sexual-asexual reproduction. Parallel to this, 4 sessions, 4 activities and "self-evaluation form" for evaluative purposes and "my thoughts about module" studies have been developed. This module discussed respectively the following topics: sex reproduction cells; fertilization, internal and external fertilization; the structure of the flower, how the reproductive organs and structure reproduce; asexual reproduction and types. This modules and activities prepared for the Living and Life learning area is thought to be an example for the PBL for other areas of science (physical phenomena, matter and change). Keywords: Problem-Based Learning, sexual and asexual reproduction, science education 24

Sample Activities Related to the Use of Argumentation- Based Inquiry Method in Science Courses 1 Sevinç Kaçar, kacarsevinc@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Ali Günay Balım, agbalim@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Science courses aim to educate students who can investigate, inquire and produce arguments. It can be said that an argument-based inquiry method is an effective method to serve this purpose. The argument-based inquiry method involves a series of steps, including laboratory activities such as designing the experimental/observational study process for students to answer research questions, gathering data, and developing their arguments. It can be said that boring laboratory studies are transformed into a more instructive dimension by adding the learning process based on argumentation. In this study, it is aimed to present examples of activities related to the use of argumentation-based inquiry method in science course. For this purpose, 7th grade "Electricity" unit is defined as "bulb brightness in serial and parallel connected circuits". Parallel to this, the brochure on "the shapes of the connection of the street lamps and the brightness of the series and parallel lamps" was prepared. Through this brochure, it can be said that the argumentation-based inquiry method in science lessons offers appropriate examples of how to teach everyday life and science topics effectively. This brochure prepared for the physical event (Electricity) learning area is thought to be an example for the argumentation-based inquiry method for other areas of science (life and life, matter and change). Keywords: Argumentation-based inquiry, electricity, science education [1] This study is supported by the project DEU-BAP 2017.KB.EGT.001 (2016149)-coded. 25

In this context, it is aimed to examine the studies made about the interactive e-book, z-book in the field of science education. In this research, which studies z-book studies in the field of science education, thematic content analysis was used. Within the scope of the research, Uludağ University e-library database (http://ekutuphane.uludag.edu.tr/) was used to determine the articles to be examined. As a result of these surveys, 29 studies on z-books in science education have been reached. The researches obtained in the study were analyzed using the thematic matrix in the literature. The results of the surveys were analyzed in terms of general information (such as location, year, and number of authors) and content information (purpose, research method, result, etc.). The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods (percentage and frequency) and content analysis method. In the results of study; theoretical backgrounds, studies on developing the learning environment and determining the effectiveness were encountered. In theoretical studies, how z-books are, how their components are, and what z- books exist are evaluated. At the same time; the research on determining the effectiveness of the z-book (interactive e -book) has generally examined the participants' effects on their understanding, performance, achievements, attitudes and motivations, and in general positive results have been achieved. In this context, when it was thought that the use of z-books in science education would have positive effects, z-books should be widespread.

Pre-Service Science Teachers Views towards Science Ethics Erkan Özcan, erkanozcan88@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylul University Sevinç Kaçar, kacarsevinc@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylul University Ümmühan Ormancı, ummuhan45@gmail.com, Uludağ University Ali Günay Balım, agunay.balim@deu.edu.tr, Dokuz Eylul University Aim of science course is to introduce students themselves, their environment and provide them basic living and thinking skills. In this connection science course encounters students with problems related to their daily life, help them to realize and inquire these problems, provides possibilities for solution of these problems and support them in synchronization with environment. Therefore, general aims of science education curriculums are training self confident, cooperative, decisive students who have problem solving skills, inquiry learning skills, effective communication skills and sustainable development awareness. One of skills emphasized on Science Education Program is science ethics. Students perception of science ethics is one of the main components of Turkish Science Education Program and it s expected to be promoted in science course. Thus, science teachers should have a strong background about science ethics in order to promote in classroom and encourage their students. In this case, considering that teachers train students who understands science ethics, they should first understand science ethics themselves and graduate from teacher training institutes with proper background. Therefore, aim of this study is to examine pre-service science teachers views towards science ethics.this study is a descriptive study. Semi-structured interview from qualitative research techniques used in order to determine students views towards science ethics. In semi structured questions, part of interview consist of structured questions while other part consists of unstructured questions which allows individual to give free reaction. In this study, semi-structured interviews will be made with preservice science teachers and their views about science ethics in science education will be examined.

A Comparison of Latent Growth Modeling with Traditional Methods and Hierarchical Linear Modeling in the Context of Student Achievement Improvement Gürkan Cüvitoğlu, gurkancuvitoglu@hotmail.com, MEB Hakan Atılgan, hakan.atilgan@ege.edu.tr, Ege By its nature; education implies a process of growth. Growth can be observed for all the elements within the education system while it is generally measured by student achievement. The data obtained from achievement provides feedback about the whole system. Whereas measurements carried out in education mostly are analysis of status, there has been a rapid increase in longitudinal measurement for measuring growth.t test and variance analysis can be used for related samples in 2 repeated measures whereas latent growth models and hierarchical linear models are employed in 3 and more repeated measures. However, such traditional methods as t test for related samples and variance analysis for repeated measures address a status analysis rather than measuring change. These traditional methods assume that the observed variables are error free and they model the change in the observed variable directly rather than the change in the latent structure underlying the observed variables. However, students cognitive, affective or psychomotor growth subject to measurement can be determined by measuring and analyzing the structural variables (mathematical ability, reading comprehension, speed reading etc) at at least 3 different points of time. In variance analysis, change pattern is assumed to be the same for all individuals and the observed inter-individual differences are accepted as error variance. In latent growth models, on the other hand, it is taken as an effect which has to be explained and can be predicted through several explanatory variables. This feature allows for predicting inter-individual differences in change patterns and provides a significant advantage in understanding the factors affecting student achievement. Traditional methods don not allow examining intra-individual changes in time and the inter-individual variance in the change. Another method used to measure growth is the hierarchical linear modeling which is used in the analysis of hierarchical data (student, class and school etc.). Repeated measurements on the longitudinal data are nested within the student level to obtain hierarchical data. The results of Hierarchical Linear Model (HLM) and Latent Growth Model (LGM) are similar while they may vary according to sample size, sample differences at lower levels (15 students in one class, 20 in another) and the number of explanatory variables used. In this study, the differences in the students' developmental trajectories will be analyzed and compared using the 28

traditional methods, LGM and HLM methods by using variables such as the grades of the 200 students obtained on a course during 6 semesters, gender and duration of work. Thus, traditional methods and newer HLM and LGM in achievement analysis will be discussed through new techniques and better practices in determining student achievement.

Whose Needs To Analyze? The Real Students' or the Assumed Ones'? Meral Şeker, meral.seker@alanya.edu.tr, Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University Jean-Yves Blanchard,jyblanchard@gmail.com, Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University Studies in the field of second language teaching, particularly English Language Teaching (ELT) have repeatedly reported that English levels of Turkish students are far behind the sufficient language and academic levels. The major contributing factors are instructional practices and materials used in ELT classes, which often fall behind the theoretical and methodological advances in the field. In an attempt to address these issues, a teaching framework including teaching materials for higher education ELT instruction has been designed and implemented at a state university. The framework is based on social-constructivist learning theories and adopts acquisitionoriented approach to learning reflecting inductive teaching methods in the presentation and organization of the tasks and activities. Rather than imposing traditional language teaching objectives and the graded and/or segmented language instruction designs, the tasks and the activities in the material pack are geared toward equipping learners with self-regulated strategies that can aid them in processing and using the continuous flow of information in their digital contexts. The examples and the explanations preceding the tasks guide and encourage learners to become aware of and improve academic skills required for their further education. The paper first introduces the framework by explaining each component. Secondly, it presents the results of the preliminary study conducted to identify students opinions and reflections on their learning experiences with the framework on the first year of implementation. The framework can contribute to the process of improving language teaching practices by presenting a practical guide to be discussed and improved in professional contexts.

Perceptions of EFL Academics in the United States towards Academic Integrity Culture Ceyhun Yükselir, ceyhunyukselir@gmail.com, Osmaniye Korkut Ata University Despite the plethora of research on academic misconduct, academic dishonesty, cheating and plagiarism, the effect of academic integrity culture remains a significant concern. Thus, this study focuses on the perceptions of EFL academics in the United States towards academic integrity culture. This study was designed as a qualitative case study and involved online semistructured interviews with 10 participants who teach EFL graduate courses in a public university. The results indicate that EFL graduate academics in the United States paid much attention to academic integrity and taught some courses in their syllabuses which are related to academic integrity and its importance in the academic field. Based on interviews findings, it was concluded that the EFL academics included some discussions and presentations regarding academic integrity into their classrooms in order to raise awareness especially for the learners in the graduate level. Findings also have implications for Turkey, suggesting that academics and researchers in Turkey should use and give more significance to academic integrity culture.

An Investigation on Students' Mathemathical Proof Tendencies Using Artificial Neural Network Model Aygül Kunt, ayglknt92@gmail.con, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Cenk Keşan, cenkkesan@gmail.com, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi The issue of proof-based teaching at the middle school leads to various discussions and there are also studies in which the opinions of some teachers are taken. It is emphasized that the learning styles of the students should be analyzed at during the preparatory phase of the proof-based questions. However, there are few studies on the field of education, especially in the field of mathematics education, although there are studies in various fields about the model of artificial neural networks. Therefore, the main purpose is to investigate the relationship between students' tendency towards the types of mathematical proof and the learning styles that they have by using the artificial neural network model. In addition, SOM-Ward clustering algorithm based on artificial intelligence was used to investigate the relationship between students' tendency towards the types of mathematical proof and the learning styles they have. In the process of training the artificial neural network model, feed forward back propagation network structure was used. As a data collection tool, four questions from four different mathematical fields were asked for that students should be able to rank towards the proposition closest to them and that the reasons underlying the ranking formats were found. The learning styles of the students were tried to be predicted by taking advantage of the verbal expressions of the students. In addition, the results in the learning style inventory were combined with predictive learning styles. As a result of the research, consistency between the results produced by the model and the predicted learning styles was observed sufficiently. It was seen that the students who had the learning style of converging generally accommodated the algebraic proposals in the first place and also they sometimes accommodated the inductive proposals in the last place. In addition, it was seen that the students who had the learning style of assimilating generally accommodated the algebraic and perceptual proposals in the first and second place.
