    Effect of Modeling-Based Activities Developed Using Virtual Environments and Concrete Objects on Spatial Thinking and Mental Rotation Skills
    (EDAM, 2012) Yurt, Eyup; Sunbul, Ali Murat
    In this study, the effect of modeling based activities using virtual environments and concrete objects on spatial thinking and mental rotation skills was investigated. The study was designed as a pretest-posttest model with a control group, which is one of the experimental research models. The study was carried out on sixth grade students attending Maresal Mustafa Kemal Primary School in Konya's city center during the 2010-2011 academic year. The study group is composed of a total of 87 students in two experimental and one control group. In the activities applied for 9 weeks in the experimental groups, a total of 18 different models were developed. As a result of the study, it was found that the spatial thinking skills of Experimental Group, 1 in which concrete objects were used to develop models, were significantly higher compared to those in Experimental Group 2 and the Control group. The mental rotation skills of Experimental Group 2, in which a virtual environment was used to develop mental rotation was significantly higher compared to Experimental Group 1 and the Control Group. The result of the study suggests that using virtual environments and concrete objects together would be more effective in developing spatial skills.

    The Effects of Learning Strategies Instruction on Metacognitive Knowledge, Using Metacognitive Skills and Academic Achievement (Primary Education Sixth Grade Turkish Course Sample)
    (EDAM, 2011) Caliskan, Muhittin; Sunbul, Ali Murat
    This study investigated the effects of learning strategies instruction on metacognitive knowledge, metacognitive skills, and achievement. An experimental pre-test/post-test control group design was used in the research. The study was conducted in the 2008-2009 school year on 6th grade students at Orgeneral Tural and Dikmeli Primary Schools located in the city center of Konya. Forty-two students participated in the study, 21 in the experimental group and 21 in the control group. Groups were equalized on the basis of the Learning Strategies Scale, Turkish Lesson Metacognitive Knowledge Interview Form, and pre-test results of Turkish Lesson Achievement Test. In the experimental group, strategy instruction was given by the researcher himself for 15 weeks, using a direct instruction approach. At the end of the study, it was found that learning strategies instruction increased awareness of strategy and metacognitive knowledge and it was effective in using metacognitive skills. It was also found that using metacognitive skills increased achievement.
