In the current study, the researchers examine the validity of a questionnaire assessing students’ perceptions of their self-directed learning and collaborative learning with and without technology with a group of Canadian middle school students. Lee and colleagues (2014) developed an 18-item questionnaire for use in assessing high school students’ perceptions of their learning in Singapore. Three hundred and twenty middle school students from across Alberta, Canada completed the questionnaire. The results of a confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the questionnaire did not have sufficient model fit. The researchers used a jackknifing procedure to systematically remove four items in order to achieve a psychometrically sound questionnaire. The results suggest that the reduced questionnaire is a useful self-report instrument for assessing Canadian middle school students’ perceptions of their learning. Dans la présente étude, les chercheurs examinent la validité d’un questionnaire évaluant les perceptions qu’ont les élèves de leur apprentissage autonome et collaboratif, avec et sans technologie, au sein d’un groupe d’élèves d’écoles intermédiaires canadiennes. Lee et ses collègues (2014) ont développé un questionnaire de 18 items pour évaluer les perceptions qu’ont des élèves d’écoles secondaires quant à leur apprentissage. Trois cent vingt élèves d’écoles intermédiaires à travers l’Alberta, au Canada, ont rempli le questionnaire. Les résultats d’une analyse factorielle confirmatoire ont révélé que le questionnaire avait été insuffisamment ajusté au modèle. Les chercheurs se sont servis d’une procédure de jackknife afin de supprimer systématiquement quatre items afin d’obtenir un questionnaire solide sur le plan psychométrique. Les résultats suggèrent que le questionnaire raccourci est un instrument utile pour l’auto-évaluation des perceptions qu’ont des élèves d’écoles intermédiaires quant à leur apprentissage.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The speeches prepared in a plan and presented to the target group are in the ready speech class. Changing world conditions personalize the person and break away from the outside world. This situation leads to an increase in the number of people who are inadequate in interpersonal communication, difficult to express themselves, and who can not express the situation they are facing. Appropriate studies should be carried out to train the generations that can express your verbal thought and adopt a level of personality. At this point, it is very important to determine the levels and interests of individuals. At this point, the motivation of individuals who are reluctant to open individuals can be improved in this way.</p><p>This research was conducted to determine the selection of topics on the lower level prepared by junior high school students. "Are middle school students different in their choice of subject, such as readiness, gender, grade level, parental level of education, family economic level, book page reading per month?" And "What are the opinions of the middle school students in the subjects of the prepared talk?" the answer was searched. A complementary hybrid design was used in the study. The first group of the study consisted of 24 selected students. Data; The semi-structured interview form for the first sub-problem and the second semi-structured interview form for the second sub-problem were analyzed by frequency and percentage calculation. It has been examined whether subject selection tendencies differ according to variables such as gender, class level, parental education level, family economic level, number of book pages read in one month. In the second part of the research, thematic coding was done.</p><p>5th and 6th grades, animal and nature in topic selection, environment in 7th grade, 8th class sports branches are extraordinary. Subject selection; The gender of the students, the level of education of the father, the educational status of the mother, the profession of the father, the occupation of the mother, the monthly income of the family and the number of books read in a month. When the general opinions of the middle school students are evaluated regarding the prepared speech, the negative aspects such as excitement, interruption and not being able to express themselves can not be prevented with prepared speeches. Students can communicate their thoughts effectively.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Bir plan dahilinde hazırlanıp hedef kitleye sunulan konuşmalar, hazırlıklı konuşma sınıfındadır. Değişen dünya koşulları, insanı bireyselleştirmekte ve dış dünya ile olan ilişkilerini koparmaktadır. Bu durum kişiler arası iletişimde yetersiz, kendini ifade etmekte zorlanan, karşılaştığı sorunlar karşısında içinde bulunduğu durumu dile getiremeyen bireylerin artmasına neden olmaktadır. Düşündüğünü sözlü olarak doğru ifade edebilen nesiller yetiştirmek, beceriyi kişilik özelliği olacak düzeyde benimsetmek için seviyeye uygun çalışmaların yürütülmesi gerekmektedir. Bu noktada ise bireylerin seviyelerinin ve ilgi alanlarının belirlenmesi büyük önem arz etmektedir. Duygu ve düşüncelerini açığa vurmada isteksiz durumda olan bireylerin motivasyonu bu şekilde artırılabilecektir.</p><p>Bu araştırma, ortaokul öğrencilerinin hazırlıklı konuşmada konu seçimlerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. “Ortaokul öğrencilerinin hazırlıklı konuşmada konu seçimleri, cinsiyet, sınıf seviyesi, anne-baba eğitim düzeyi, ailenin ekonomik seviyesi, ayda okuduğu kitap sayfası değişkenlerine göre farklılık göstermekte midir?” ve “Ortaokul öğrencilerinin hazırlıklı konuşmada konu seçimleri ile ilgili görüşleri nelerdir?” sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Araştırmada tamamlayıcı karma desen kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın birinci çalışma grubunu, resmi bir okulda öğrenim gören 120 ortaokul öğrencisi; ikinci çalışma grubunu, birinci çalışma grubu içerisinden seçilen 24 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veriler; birinci alt problem için ölçme aracı ile ikinci alt problem için yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmış, frekans ve yüzde hesaplamasıyla çözümlenerek yorumlanmıştır. Konu seçme eğilimlerinin cinsiyet, sınıf seviyesi, anne-baba eğitim düzeyi, ailenin ekonomik seviyesi, bir ayda okunan kitap sayfası sayısı değişkenlerine göre farklılaşıp farklılaşmadığı incelenmiştir. Araştırmanın ikinci kısmından elde edilen veriler tematik kodlama yapılarak analiz edilmiştir.</p><p>5 ve 6.sınıfların konu seçimlerinde hayvanlar ve doğa konusu, 7.sınıfta çevre konusu, 8.sınıfta spor dalları öne çıkan konulardır. Konu seçimleri; öğrencilerin cinsiyetlerine, baba eğitim durumuna, anne eğitim durumuna, baba mesleğine, anne mesleğine, ailenin aylık gelirine, bir ayda okunan kitap sayfası sayısına göre anlamlı bir şekilde farklılaşmamaktadır. Ortaokul öğrencilerinin hazırlıklı konuşmayla ilgili genel görüşleri değerlendirildiğinde hazırlıklı konuşma ile heyecan, kekeleme, kendini ifade edememe gibi olumsuzlukların ortadan kalktığı; öğrencilerin düşüncelerini etkili bir şekilde aktarabildikleri görülmüştür.Çalışmanın bulguları öğretmenler, ders kitabı yazarları tarafından dikkate alındığında öğrencilerin duygu ve düşüncelerini ortaya koymadaki isteksizliği giderilmiş, motivasyonları artırılmış olacaktır. Kendilerini daha iyi ifade eden ve konuşma becerisini kişilik özelliği olacak düzeyde benimseyen bireyler yetiştirilebilecektir.</p>

AbstractSize and scale is a “big idea” in nanoscale science and engineering and is poorly understood by secondary students. This paper describes the design process, implementation, and evaluation of a 12-h instructional unit for size and scale, in a summer science camp for middle school students from a low SES public school district. Instructional activities were designed following a construct-centered design approach and included the use of microscopes, custom-made computer simulations, and 2-D and 3-D scale models. The unit followed a project-based instructional approach and was contextualized with the driving question, “How can nanotechnology keep me from getting sick?” Pre- and post-intervention interviews revealed that students significantly increased their qualitative and quantitative knowledge of the size of objects including atom, viruses, and cells, with an effect size of 0.8 for an overall metric. The campers closed the gap with private middle school students and on some measures surpassed high school students from the same district. The principle of “broad spectrum” curriculum and instruction – activities that target specific advanced understandings but simultaneously scaffold or support the learning of more fundamental, prerequisite ideas – was inductively generated from an analysis of the learning activities.
