This is a skill that plays an important role in knowledge construction which in reality is rarely implemented in science learning. The facts show that most students have low scientific argumentation skills and still need to be improved. In improving scientific argumentation skills, the learning design used must give students more opportunities to build and criticize arguments, make claims, and use evidence in the process of reasoning based on inquiry activities. Based on the results of previous research, it is known that inquiry-based learning has extraordinary potential in developing students’ scientific argumentation skills. Interestingly, no research has been found that reveals the effect of inquiry-based online learning on students’ scientific argumentation skills. Therefore, this study aims to determine the impact of inquiry-based online learning with a virtual laboratory on students’ scientific argumentation skills. This study uses a onegroup pretest-posttest design with n-gain analysis. The results of this study indicate that the application of inquiry-based online learning with a virtual laboratory can improve students’ scientific argumentation skills. Uniquely, this only significantly impacts the claim, evidence, and reasoning components, but not the counterclaim and rebuttal components.","PeriodicalId":46002,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135405432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through literature survey and review of mostly referred factors affecting e-Learning efficiency, four dimensions were designated for further elaboration in this study: (i) course characteristics, (ii) participant characteristics, (iii) e-Learning environment, and (iv) prior acquaintance, with each category including several sub-measures. Survey method was employed and a questionnaire was administered to 122 architecture students at both undergraduate and graduate levels to investigate participant perspectives in reference to particular synchronous lectures delivered online. Out of ten potential influencing factors hypothesized, seven were verified to be critical determinants of e-Learning effectiveness in architectural education.","PeriodicalId":46002,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education","volume":"170 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135405431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the growing demand for flexible and accessible learning opportunities, learners are increasingly turning to online and distance education programs to pursue their academic, personal, and professional goals. However, this modality of learning also presents unique challenges for learners, particularly when it comes to e-learning readiness and self-regulated learning. To explore these factors within the context of the online distance learning environment, this study used a cross-sectional quantitative research method to examine the differences in self-regulated learning skills of open and distance learners in terms of e-learning readiness in the Open Education System of Anadolu University. For the purpose of the study, an online survey was used to collect data. The participants of the study comprised 466 online distance learners. Results indicated that learners with high e-learning readiness levels had higher self-regulated learning skills compared to those with low levels. It was also determined that self-regulated learning skills did not differ in terms of the gender of the learners while they differed in terms of the time the learners spent on the learning management system.","PeriodicalId":46002,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135405430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fourteen variables were determined for this purpose. In this context, questions covering the individual characteristics of the students, systems followed by the students (synchronous-asynchronous), students’ interests in the course and their follow-ups, and their learning experiences were included. “The Self-Assessment Scale for Geographic Inquiry Process Skills” was used to determine the students’ self-efficacy levels. The data were collected from 493 students attending 11th and 12th grades in eighteen high schools in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The screening model was used in the research and the data were analyzed using multiple hierarchical regression methods. The results of the study showed that nine variables statistically predicted 89% of the total variance. In order of relative importance, grade, school type, and gender are the first and most important predictor variables.

Purpose of this study is to explore self-efficacy beliefs of prospective teachers in teaching online (SETO) and to determine the relationship between pre-service teachers’ importance of online teaching competencies (IOTC) perceptions and their SETO beliefs. 101 pre-service teachers were asked to fill faculty readiness to teach online scale and the responses were analyzed through ANOVA and Pearson Correlation. The results showed a significant difference between pre-service teachers’ majors, exposure to ICT-related experiences, and their SETO beliefs. In addition, there is a significant relationship between pre-service teachers’ IOCT perceptions and SETO beliefs. Understanding the existing SETO beliefs of pre-service teachers is critical because it provides evidence to reassess how pre-service teachers are supported to build their online teaching competencies. The results are expected to make a significant contribution to research on establishing online teaching competencies in Turkiye and assisting teachers in understanding the value of those competencies; as a result, potential implementers may have stronger online teaching self-efficacy in their distance classrooms.

This study examined XXX University instructors’ perspectives regarding the emergency remote teaching period in terms of their professional experience, discipline area, online instruction experience, and whether they received training in online instruction. Quantitative research methods were used in the study. An online instructor’s emergency remote teaching perspective scale has been developed and used as a data collection tool.

In contrast, peer support was essential to metacognitive skills, persistence, and help-seeking. Lastly, there was a negligible impact of provided support on time management behaviors.
