“…Only a single sense and aspect of reasoning is employed under passive teaching methods. Acer and Güçlü (2017) note that there is a high likelihood of derailment and distraction on the student, which can lead to loss of precious time and concepts.…”

“…The fact that students' attention tends to decrease with increased periods of attentiveness further necessitates the pauses. Acer and Güçlü (2017) say breaks help to start the learning process anew besides its ability to keep the student focused. For better outcomes when incorporating active learning to lectures, Ng, Pinto, and Williams (2011) suggest that the faculties and the lecturer should consider online classroom platforms through which the students can access the study material beforehand, with the class time used for reflection and small group engagement.…”

The study features analysis of the performance of 305 university students from Cukurova University at different grades. The study aims to establish how the memories and overall performance regarding different study materials of students from diverse grades differ from each other. Qualitative study design was employed with data collected from students in three different courses. Results were tabulated as per the various courses under study. Two tables, featuring five most remembered concepts in all courses, and all course recall outcomes were also included to offer a cross-sectional view. The results pointed to a correlation between teaching methods and remembrance patterns in all the participants. Depending on the grade and the content, enhanced understanding of the course material was found to depend on the forms of class presentations adopted by the tutor. It is therefore important that the tutor choose appropriate teaching methods and techniques that would deliver optimal experiences to all the students in the same class. Notably, there were higher average and mean scores for course materials taught through video presentation compared to the rest of the learning forms.

“…"Turkey has promoted a rapid expansion of universities since 2006, establishing 58 universities throughout the country at a growth rate of 109%" (Acer & Guclu, 2017, p. 1911). These new universities have been part of government policy to increase tertiary educational access, and have in that sense, been successful.…”

“…However, from the best public university to the lowestranked one, tremendous differences affect English and wider composition education. More so than that, because of the inherent bureaucracy that public universities operate under, there is a high degree of isomorphism that exists (Acer & Guclu, 2017). This means that educational innovation is often slow compared to private universities with an entirely different set of incentives to improve pedagogy.…”

Composition Studies, is something that is often associated with universities in the United States, characterized by elements such as FYC (First-Year Composition), writing centres, advanced writing training for graduate students, and so forth. However, the composition is by no means limited to any one country, but research in its manifestation in other contexts is limited. That is the case for Turkey as well, a nation that possesses its own unique infrastructure of composition education, influenced by its own challenges and lived environment. In this paper, that infrastructure is analyzed with regard to its context, purpose, aims, and outcomes. It was found that that a framework of writing education exists in both public and private universities and is hand-in-hand with the English focus of certain educational programs. However, even up until the graduate level, there seem to be issues that draw attention to students' educational experience. The small-scale studies that have been done to date give clues (that often correspond with each other) on where the problems lie, specifically in need for more feedback, instruction in writing and mechanics, and so forth.
