Article Citation - WoS: 108Citation - Scopus: 186A Three-Tier Diagnostic Test To Assess Pre-Service Teachers' Misconceptions About Global Warming, Greenhouse Effect, Ozone Layer Depletion, and Acid Rain(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Arslan, Harika Ozge; Cigdemoglu, Ceyhan; Moseley, ChristineThis study describes the development and validation of a three-tier multiple-choice diagnostic test, the atmosphere-related environmental problems diagnostic test (AREPDiT), to reveal common misconceptions of global warming (GW), greenhouse effect (GE), ozone layer depletion (OLD), and acid rain (AR). The development of a two-tier diagnostic test procedure as described by Treagust constitutes the framework for this study. To differentiate a lack of knowledge from a misconception, a certainty response index is added as a third tier to each item. Based on propositional knowledge statements, related literature, and the identified misconceptions gathered initially from 157 pre-service teachers, the AREPDiT was constructed and administered to 256 pre-service teachers. The Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient of the pre-service teachers' scores was estimated to be 0.74. Content and face validations were established by senior experts. A moderate positive correlation between the participants' both-tiers scores and their certainty scores indicated evidence for construct validity. Therefore, the AREPDiT is a reliable and valid instrument not only to identify pre-service teachers' misconceptions about GW, GE, OLD, and AR but also to differentiate these misconceptions from lack of knowledge. The results also reveal that a majority of the respondents demonstrated limited understandings about atmosphere-related environmental problems and held six common misconceptions. Future studies could test the AREPDiT as a tool for assessing the misconceptions held by pre-service teachers from different programs as well as in-service teachers and high school students.Review Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 7A Review of the Evolving Conceptualization of Internationalization From a Global Value Chain Perspective(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Uner, Mehmet Mithat; Cigdemoglu, Ceyhan; Wang, Yihuai; Yalcin, Aybuke; Cavusgil, S. TamerPurpose - The purpose of this paper is to reveal the assumptive concept of internationalization because it is discussed and understood in the international business (IB) literature. This paper develops a framework to reconceptualize internationalization in the context of global value chain (GVC) and sustainability. Based on this conceptual framework, this paper aims to formulate interrelated propositions to define internationalization.Design/methodology/approach - This paper reviews the assumptive conceptualization process based on empirical evidence obtained through qualitative, illustrative and descriptive content analysis methods. Through the collection and qualitative content analysis of milestone papers, this paper demonstrates the fragmentation of the concept of internationalization. This paper reviews the evolving nature of the concept of internationalization, analyzing the accumulative issues associated with defining internationalization, as well as its potential future development.Findings - This paper introduces a dynamic perspective on the evolving nature of the concept of internationalization and argue there is a need to reconceptualize internationalization in the context of the GVC and sustainability.Originality/value - After reviewing the context in which the term "internationalization " has been applied and taking into consideration the current trends in the IB, this paper formulates an updated definition of the term internationalization. This paper offers a viewpoint on the future direction of the concept of internationalization in light of the growing importance of sustainability within IB.Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 49Individual Flipped Learning and Cooperative Flipped Learning: Their Effects on Students' Performance, Social, and Computer Anxiety(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Eryilmaz, Meltem; Cigdemoglu, CeyhanThe purpose of this study is to differentiate the effect of cooperative learning strategy integrated with a flipped learning (FL) model from sole FL implementation in promoting students' performances while decreasing their social and computer anxiety in an undergraduate course. As a method, a classical experimental design is used. The participants were from the department of English Language and Literature, and Translation and Interpretation. Students were randomly assigned to individual FL (the control group) class; and FL with cooperative activities (experimental group) class. The groups were randomly assigned as experimental and control by tossing a coin. The implementation took 10 weeks. Students' performances (grades), social anxiety, and computer anxiety were dependent variables of the study and they were compared through multivariate analysis of variance. The results indicated that there is no significant mean difference between groups' performances; however; the group of FL with cooperative activities had less social anxiety, but no significant change occurred at their computer anxiety level.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Extending Peer-Led Team Learning To Management Education: the Effects on Achievement, Critical Thinking, and Interest(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Tuzlukaya, Sule; Sahin, Neriman Gonca Guzel; Cigdemoglu, CeyhanAs an attempt to extend the implementation of peer-led team learning to management education, this study proposes to investigate business students' achievement, critical thinking skills, and interest in learning environment across academic ability groups and attitudes towards team leaders. Using a one-shot pre/post experimental design, 108 conveniently selected students participated in the treatment throughout ten weeks. Researchers collected data using the critical thinking scale and interest scales both at the beginning and at the end of the treatment. In addition, students' course achievement is used as a dependent variable. To answer research questions, paired-samples t-test, one-way repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used. Results indicate that the mean scores of achievement are significantly different for different ability group students and different levels of attitudes towards team leaders. Besides, students' interest scores increased at the end of the implementation; however, their scores on critical thinking skills decreased. Further studies are suggested to consider these issues in implementing peer-led team learning in social science courses.
