“…Scientific literacy is defined as a combination of science-related skills, attitudes, values, understanding and knowledge necessary for individuals to develop researchquestioning, critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills, to become lifelong learning individuals, and to maintain curiosity about their environment and the world (Ministry of National Education, 2006). Scientific literacy, such an important concept, can only be taught to students in science courses (Bozdoğan & Uzoğlu, 2015). It is a known fact that the science courses are mostly based on experiments and activities and that the concepts in the science course are theoretical and abstract (Tekbıyık & Akdeniz, 2010).…”

This study was carried out to determine the opinions of the pre-service primary teachers about the laboratory report writing in laboratory courses. Data were collected by using an open-ended questionnaire. The sampling of the study consists of 68 pre-service primary teachers who situated at a public university in the northeast of Turkey. Data were analyzed using content analysis. Two faculty members and one teacher jointly assessed the responses of the pre-service primary teachers to the questionnaire and determined the themes and codes for each question. The results showed that the pre-service primary teachers in the study paid attention to the content while writing laboratory report in the laboratory course. Also, they had positive and negative opinions about the contribution of laboratory report on their learning. Some of the preservice primary teachers stated that writing a laboratory report had positive effects such as providing learning, encouraging thinking, reinforcing what was learned, increasing interest and attention towards the lesson, and ensuring the permanence of the concepts learned. Some of the pre-service primary teachers thought that writing reports had a negative effect such as being boring and not contributing to the development of the individual. In addition, it was determined that performing a laboratory report reduced the students' interest in the course and pre-service primary teachers did not want to write a laboratory report. However, pre-service primary teachers accept that laboratory report increases their ability to comment.

“…Tablet integration into K-12 education is a steadily increasing global phenomenon. Despite the prevalence of attitudinal studies from students' and teachers' perspectives (e.g., Uzoğlu & Bozdoğan, 2015;Ifenthaler & Schweinbenz, 2013;Shih, Chu, Hwang, & Kinshuk, 2011), few studies have examined parents' perception of personalized tablet usage in K-12 education. Meanwhile, it is well known that successful educational technology implementation is a complex process (Robertson, Grady, Fluck, & Webb, 2006) and regardless of the type or generation of educational technology, teachers', students', and parents' perspectives must all be considered.…”

This study explored parents’ and students’ attitudes toward tablet usage in a formal educational setting. A total of 212 students from four 7th-grade classes, along with 145 of their parents, responded to the Tablet Acceptance Questionnaire. Quantitative methods including a t-test and partial least square (PLS) analyses were employed to examine students’ and parents’ attitudes toward tablet integration in schools, and to investigate factors influencing students’ and parents’ attitudes toward tablet usage, respectively. The results indicated significant differences between students’ and parents’ attitudes. Empirical findings suggested students hold more positive views than their parents with regard to tablet usage, tablet benefits for learning, and technical advantages and ease of use. Conversely, parents expressed greater concern over potential negative effects of tablet usage in education than do their children. This study also suggested educational benefits of tablet usage were the key factor influencing both students’ and parents’ attitudes. Based on the cross-examined understanding of parents’ and students’ attitudes, suggestions for large scale tablet initiatives are proposed.
