ÖzÜst düzey düşünme öğretimi tüm öğrenciler ve dersler için önemlidir. Düşünme becerilerinin gelişimini desteklemek için dili anlama sorunlarından biri, yazılı metinlerin anlaşılmaması üzerinedir. Bu çalışmanın iki ana amacı vardır. Bunlardan ilki DSM materyallerinin geliştirme ve uygulama özelliklerini sunmak. İkincisi ise bu materyallerinin PISA metin türlerini anlamaya etkisini araştırmaktır. Karma yöntem ile yürütülen çalışmada yarı deneysel araştırma deseni ve görüşme tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışma grubu, 25 sekizinci sınıf öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Sonuç olarak DSM'nin sürekli ve süreksiz PISA metin türlerini anlamaya anlamlı etkisi olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu katkılar, cevaba dayanak sunma, paragraf sorularını okuma ve anlama, ana fikri anlama, sosyal destek, birbirini dinleme, Türkçe, Matematik ve Fen ve Teknolojileri ders başarısına olumlu katkıları tespit etme olarak sıralanabilir.

How teaching could be conducted effectively and consequently student learning could be enhanced presumably vary from teacher to teacher, arising from a variety of such factors as the conditions in the workplace, teachers' year of teaching experience and their prior schooling experiences. In this regard, English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) teachers' (EFLTs) beliefs about quality teaching leading to facilitated student learning are also highly likely to be divergent. This survey research aims to add to the growing literature on teacher beliefs via unveiling EFLTs' (N = 520) beliefs regarding effective teaching in general and effective EFL teaching in particular, student learning and development, and the probable changes that may occur in their beliefs according to the year of their teaching experience and the level of education they teach. The results revealed that the EFLTs held strong beliefs with respect to the effect of constructivist and humanistic concepts on effective teaching and student learning, and believed implementing communicative approach and conducting interactive activities induced effective EFL teaching and student learning. The findings also indicated that there existed statistically significant differences in EFLTs' beliefs concerning constructivist concepts and EFL teaching practices according to the year of their teaching experience.
