Biography:<\/strong>
My undergraduate degree is from Karadeniz Technical University Faculty of Education 1984-85; Graduate degrees are: Master in Education (Curriculum and Instruction-science education) from University of New Brunswick, Canada; MSc in Chemistry from Karadeniz Technical University, Turkey; and PhD in Education (Curriculum and Instruction-science education) from Southampton University, U.K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have taken administrative roles at KT\u00dc and Bilkent University, which includes 6-year deanship at Faculty of Education (KT\u00dc) and directorship of GSE (Bilkent) since 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have involved several research projects including National Education Development Project, Basic Education Support Project (Effectiveness of Public Education Centers) and MEBGEB Project. I have recently completed UNICEF supported project on formative assessment with a collaboration with MoNE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have over 45 international and about 55 national journal articles and more than 100 conference paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am interested in teacher education, teaching-learning of science concepts, concept development, curriculum development, assessment, evaluation and inclusive education. Qualitative and quantitative research or a combination of the both are methods that I use in my research activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
