In this study, one of the qualitative research designs, namely phenomenology, will be employed. Phenomenology is the most suitable methodological tool for this study, as it enables us to focus on experiences, livings, thoughts, sense, and feelings of individuals. The study group was determined in accordance with purposive sampling. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed with the “MAXQDA 11\" qualitative data analysis software and categories were formed. According to the research results, Turkish-origin students are aware of the important role that geography courses take firstly in familiarizing with Germany, the country they live in. It was revealed that geography courses provide students with the sense of spatial belonging and help them to embrace the place they live in by creating a certain perception of place. In other words, Turkish-origin students feel that they are part of Germany because they feel that they belong to the place. The fact that they see Germany as their home country is one of the indicators of interiorizing the geography. For them, Germany is their home country whereas Turkey is their motherland. As their families’ motherland concept is related to Turkey, they transmit the concept of motherland from their families to their social realities.","PeriodicalId":52147,"journal":{"name":"Review of International Geographical Education Online","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47763314","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}

The teaching of some natural disasters of climate in the Environmental Problems course at an education faculty in Turkey was carried out with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach supported with Instructional Geocaching Game (IGG). Geocaching is an outdoor location based-digital game in which players hide a box and then share its coordinates online. Other players can find it with GPS. IGG is an educational game played with small student groups designed by teachers. This study aims to demonstrate how the IGG activities conducted outside of the classroom with the PBL approach are applied and IGG’s outcomes. The instrumental case study design was utilized with a group of 19 geography prospective teachers whom were selected by convenience sampling method. The students' views on the IGG were determined by the open-ended questionnaire and their behaviours were determined by out-of-classroom observation forms. Student performances were evaluated through the IGG portfolio. Document analysis for survey and portfolio data; descriptive analysis for observations were done. The findings revealed that students' problem-solving skills increased and they learned to use GPS technology; IGG contributed to the development of environmental awareness and disaster awareness of them by increasing motivation. In addition, some strategies for the practice of the game emerged. IGG facilitated students' PBL process and it was evaluated as a geography game by students. According to the results, the PBL-IGG approach is applicable in Geography and Environmental Problems courses.","PeriodicalId":52147,"journal":{"name":"Review of International Geographical Education Online","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41833508","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}

We used a mixed methods research design to document changes as a result of an argumentation-based science learning approach implementation. The participants were 94 seventh grade students from three different classrooms of a middle school in Erzurum, Turkey. We developed the Population in our Country Academic Achievement Test to collect quantitative data before and after the implementation, and used a semi-structured interview form to collect quantitative data after the implementation. Using descriptive, one-way ANOVA, and multiple comparison Tukey test statistical data analysis methods, we analyzed the quantitative data. Then, we used content analysis method to analyze the qualitative data. Results of the quantitative data analysis showed that there was no statistically significant difference between academic achievements mean scores of the students in the experimental and control groups in the pre-test. However, after the implementation, there were statistically significant differences between groups indicating that academic achievement mean scores of students in the experimental group was statistically higher than those students in the control groups in the post-test. Results of the qualitative data analysis indicated the argumentation-based science learning approach activities helped students understand subjects better, facilitated their learning, provided permanent learning opportunities, increased their interest and attitudes towards the course, and enhanced their success in social studies.

The determination of the dynamics affecting students' multiculturality attitudes will provide opportunities for reconstructing the educational settings accordingly. The sample of the study was 2237 students from 24 high schools from 14 provincial centres in 7 geographical regions of Turkey. The data analysis was carried out using descriptive and inferential statistics. The analyses examined the relationships between the multiculturality attitudes of the students and their gender, class level, family income status, education level of the parents, and the geographic region of residence. The findings indicated significant differences between all dimensions of the scale (i.e., anxiety, richness, tolerance, threat, and discrimination) and the variables of the study. The findings indicated that the female students’ attitude mean scores were more positive than those of the male students. Students in Central Anatolia, Southeastern Anatolia, and Marmara regions had higher attitude scores than students from other regions. As students’ family income level increases, they regard multiculturality as a threat (ethnicity-based). Students whose parents have a high level of education regard multiculturality as a threat (ethnicity-based). In order to minimize these negative attitudes towards multiculturality in the society, people’s awareness of different life practices by various groups within a country or community offers richness that should be recognized. To achieve this, the regulation of educational experiences considering cultural diversity and normalizing transitions, the differences in the educational institutions that serve as foundation in the society-building process are of the utmost importance.","PeriodicalId":52147,"journal":{"name":"Review of International Geographical Education Online","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47116052","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}

In the context of earthquake education, drawing upon these clues can potentially minimize the loss of life during earthquakes to a certain extent. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine decision-making process of students during an earthquake. The research was carried out in Giresun, Turkey. One hundred twenty-two (122) eighth grade students from three middle schools were included the study as a sample base. Three decision trees were developed in order to understand students' decision process (es). Students gave their answers on the three decision trees, whereupon their answers were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results of the study showed that some students during an earthquake chose secure options, whilst others preferred options that can lead to negative results. Students’ desire to escape from their locations during an earthquake was found to be the most common, but also the most unsafe decision. A number of other students, however, had opted to take a dangerous protection position during an earthquake. It was concluded that excessive fear of earthquakes and the negative influence of the media both have an effect on making unsafe decisions. The study suggested that people ought to be assured that there is a low possibility of buildings completely collapsing during an earthquake. It also recommended that people should take non-structural rather than structural risks into consideration during an earthquake, and that they ought to base their make decisions according to these risks.","PeriodicalId":52147,"journal":{"name":"Review of International Geographical Education Online","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43715579","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}

Geography education has the potential to develop through innovative approaches to the formation of methods and content in the classroom. The concept of innovation is much discussed, but there has been minimal research into teachers' actual understanding of innovation. The aim of the following study is to determine the understanding of innovation by geography teachers, and specifically to identify understanding and assessment patterns that lead to certain intentions for acting with innovation. First, a theoretical framework is developed in the form of an innovation matrix, which allows innovation to be divided into different classes, levels of impact and with corresponding actors in geography lessons. Subsequently, ten geography teachers were asked in an empirical study in narrative interviews about their understanding and assessment of innovations. The results of this study showed different patterns of understanding and assessment of innovation, perceived innovative methods, media and content in class and obstacles to the implementation of innovation.","PeriodicalId":52147,"journal":{"name":"Review of International Geographical Education Online","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44354902","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}
