Transformative learning: Flipped classroom and its impact on writing skill and critical thinking level
(International Council for Open and Distance Education - ICDE, 2024) Alpat, Muhammet Furkan; Görgülü, Emrah; Rektörlük, Yabancı Diller Okulu
The study sought to ascertain if critical thinking instruction delivered via the Flipped Classroom may improve students’ EFL writing skills. In addition to determining if the present instructional model influences students’ views of critical thinking and attitudes toward Flipped Learning integration, another goal is to determine whether students’ attitudes about Flipped Learning integration change. Students at the School of Languages at the upper-intermediate level took part in a reading and writing course to enhance their writing abilities. It was an experimental study with two groups consisting of an experimental group and a control group that each got training from the researcher for six weeks, and each group included 15 students. A variety of qualitative and quantitative data collection tools were used for this study, with the California critical thinking level inventory survey used in the first phase of the study, and critical thinking interviews used in the latter stage of the flipping classroom survey. Analyzing students’ responses to the California Critical Thinking Level Inventory found that the experimental group outperformed the control group, indicating a substantial boost in critical thinking abilities in those who took part in the experiment. The findings of the Flipped Classroom questionnaire show that students have a significant influence on the new teaching model in terms of their opinions regarding it.
Essential learner characteristics in distance education according to experts

The importance and impact of distance education are increasing thereby making it imperative to study its effectiveness and efficiency as regards student success. In this study, we focused on the importance of factors related to student success and priorities in distance education according to experts. We conducted a literature review for developing a spectrum of variables, as well as a survey method for collecting expert views to determine their order of importance. We scanned WoS-indexed journals in the Web of Science database using these variables, adding the keywords “online learning” and “distance education” between 2010 and 2022 to calculate the frequencies of the variables in research papers to confirm our proposed variables. We took the views of 15 academics working in the field of distance education to determine their priorities. According to the results, self-regulation was the most important learner characteristic for success in distance education. This variable was followed by learning self-efficacy, motivation, technology self-efficacy, cognitive learning strategies, goal setting, metacognitive skills, attitude towards e-learning, locus of control, and academic self-concept. These variables should be considered in instructional design processes, and be monitored and developed in distance learners for success.
Unveiling the impact of government size on labor markets in ECOWAS
(Yaz Yayınları, 2024) Saidy, Salim; Genç İleri, Şerife
Several economic crises, particularly in emerging nations, have exerted detrimental consequences on various facets of those nations’ growth. Considering these crises, policymakers and researchers have been more interested in this discourse, pushing for government intervention to control economic conditions. This is because even though the long-term economic development is endogenous, government policy impacts it positively or negatively. By stabilizing and influencing economic circumstances, the government may make sure that economic growth is sustainable and beneficial to society. Policy makers in many countries often utilize fiscal policy as a means to address market failures and mitigate their adverse effects. In a broader sense, fiscal policy is implemented to manage expenditure levels, regulate taxation, and make effective resource allocations. In essence, fiscal policy operates as a way through which a state governs the economy (Anayochukwu, 2012). As Falade and Folorunso (2015) underlined, budgetary policy can be utilized to stimulate the economy via influencing expenditure and taxes. Diminishing unemployment rates and fostering economic growth are the key objectives of fiscal policy…
An activity theoretic exploration of the causes of language learners’ misbehavior: Teachers’ belief in focus
(European Knowledge Development (EUROKD), 2024) Kamali, Jaber; Kotamjani, Sedigheh Shakib; Alpat, Muhammet Furkan; Rektörlük, Yabancı Diller Okulu
This study attempts to explore the teachers’ beliefs on the causes of learners’ misbehavior in language classrooms. To do so, 23 language teachers completed a narrative frame in which they discussed a misbehavior experience they had in the class and why they thought it happened; they, then, attended semi-structured interviews where they discussed their experiences regarding learners’ misbehavior. A thematic analysis was employed and the data was analyzed with an eye on the study’s theoretical underpinning, i.e., Activity Theory (AT). The results indicated that there are different sources of misbehavior on different interconnected components of AT. In the “tool” component, the emergent themes were materials constraints, technological challenges, and hobbies interventions. In the “rules”, some themes such as teaching methodology, socio-cultural norms, and political, and ideological intolerance or disobedience emerged. It was in the “community” component of AT that the data revealed social phenomena, colleagues and authorities, and learners heterogeneity. Finally, in the “division of labor” the emerged themes were overwhelming responsibilities, family issues, and executives’ dereliction. The findings suggest a new look at language learners’ misbehavior and inform teacher education programs in which teachers are trained on this issue to manage learning in their classrooms effectively.
Holistic evaluation of energy transition technology investments using an integrated recommender system and artificial intelligence-based fuzzy decision-making approach
(Elsevier, 2024) Dinçer, Hasan; Pamucar, Dragan; Yüksel, Serhat; Deveci, Muhammet; Eti, Serkan; Hacıoğlu, Ümit; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
The most essential criteria should be determined in the selection of the suitable energy transition technologies due to budget deficit problem. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the most important criteria in energy transition technology selection. Therefore, a new study is needed to determine the most prominent issues in the correct selection of energy transition technologies. The purpose of this study is to identify the most appropriate energy transition technology alternative. Within this framework, a novel artificial intelligence (AI)-based fuzzy decision-making model has been presented. In the first part, the experts are prioritized by the help of AI methodology. In the next section, missing evaluations of energy transition technology investments are estimated via expert recommender system. Thirdly, the weights of the criteria for energy transition technology selection are computed by quantum picture fuzzy rough sets (QPFR) M-Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA). At the final stage, selected energy transition technology alternatives are ranked via QPFR-Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR). The main contribution of this study is the integration of AI technique to the proposed model. Similar to this issue, using M-SWARA methodology in the process of criteria weighting increases the quality of the findings. This methodology helps to consider the impact relation map of the criteria. The findings demonstrate that the most important factor is cost-effectiveness of energy transition. Similarly, it is also found that the local ecosystem is the second most significant issue. On the other side, the ranking results denote that compact renewable systems for small scale production is the most optimal solution of energy transition technology alternatives.
