“…Previous studies also had similar results (Atila, 2012). It is thought that the tendency to these methods is a result of their fear of inability to complete teaching the subjects (Hằng et al, 2017;Tekbıyık & Akdeniz, 2008). In some other studies, it was found out that pre-service teachers did not have adequate knowledge regarding alternative methods and techniques (Elmalı & Kıyıcı, 2018;Yıldırım et al, 2007).…”

“…The findings in the literature also reveal that in crowded classes, it is hard to practice student-centred methods in the new curriculum (Karaman & Karaman, 2016), and physical characteristics of schools are not convenient for practicing new curricula (Yazıcı & Özmen, 2015). The literature also includes the findings that teachers are not adequately knowledgeable in alternative techniques featured in the revised curricula (Büyüktokatli & Bayraktar, 2014;Sağlam-Arslan, Devecioğlu-Kaymakçı, & Arslan, 2009), teachers have difficulty in providing feedback appropriately to students (Bayrak & Doğan, 2018), teachers do not carry out the necessary self-assessment in teaching-learning activities while practicing the curriculum (Uzal, Erdem, & Ersoy, 2015), some teachers resist the changes in the new curricula and do not abandon their traditional instruction habits (Hằng, Bulte, & Pilot, 2017;Tekbıyık & Akdeniz, 2008). It is also put forth that teachers have problems with respect to materials in the new curricula, schools do not have the necessary materials, and therefore teachers cannot offer an interactive education to students (Arias, Bismack, Davis, & Palincsar, 2016).…”

“…Moreover, Drury, Kay and Losberg (2003) revealed, in general, positive group work experiences among their sampled students; however, they also found that another minority group of students had unsatisfactory group work experiences. In this regard, dissatisfaction from previous bad experiences may influence students' future work in groups (Forrest & Miller, 2003;Lizzio & Wilson, 2005), giving rise to a poorer academic performance (Hng, Bulte & Pilot, 2017). On the other hand, Boekaerts (2002) showed that previous group working experiences, per se, were not related to students' perceptions concerning the benefits of groups.…”
