Learner Centered Classroom in Science Instruction: Providing Feedback with Technology Integration

Abstract

Article HistoryReceived: 14 November 2016 "Learner centered" term points out environments that attention to the learners brings to the educational setting. This term includes teaching practices: effort to uncover what learners think in a specific problem on hand, talking about their misconceptions and, giving them situations to readjust their ideas. In Learner centered classrooms, teachers assess different student for feedback and revision. The two major, summative and formative, assessment reveal individual students" progress continually. Teachers, in many classrooms, provide feedbacks to students are relatively rare. Feedback is most effective in learning when students have the opportunity to use it to readjust their thinking. Technology integration, a part of learner centered classroom, is support to providing feedback in effective way. This paper explores the design of learner centered classroom in relation to the interactive technology integration which is based on using mobile technology to provide effective feedback in learning environment. Higher education students used mobile interactive technology with teacher, one term, in misconception in science course. Qualitative research design was used in this research. Focus group interview method was used to get data collecting. The study findings show that mobile technology supports feedback effectively and promote student engagement in the classroom.

An Investigation of Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) Competencies of Pre-Service Visual Arts Teachers

“…By using information and communication technologies, teachers can follow developments in their areas, transfer the contemporary approaches and applications regarding teaching methods into their instruction, and keep themselves up-to-date. For these reasons, technology plays a critical role for teacher knowledge improvement (Bergeson & Beschorner, 2020;Hilton & Canciello, 2018;Kaur, 2020;Sahin, 2011;Sünbül, Gündüz, & Yılmaz, 2002;Yilmaz, 2017). The teaching has become a profession that requires more qualifications and competence today.…”

Relevancies to professional development, problems encountered, and recommendations in industrial tours: A student debate

“…This idea is in accord with the experienced dearth of interactive learning through technological media introduced in the workshops of students. As Yilmaz (2017) underscored the integration of feedbacks as important component of classroom learning, the use of mobile technology provides an effective medium where classroom learning environment becomes interesting and underpins the promotion of student engagement in various learning programs and activities. Despite the emerging fast advancing applications in mobile technology, still the students are seemingly insatiable with what may be available in the social media or may not have the ways to access them.…”
