“…The beliefs about how knowledge is obtained vary in terms of being specific to individuals as well as to the education processes that they have had (Al-Weher, 2004). In conducted studies, differentiation in some working groups takes place according to working majors of candidate teachers (Chai, Khine, & Teo, 2006;Eren, 2006) where as there is no differentiation in some groups (Chan, Tan, & Khoo, 2007).…”

“…Oysa Yanpar Şahin'in (2003) araştırmasında olduğu gibi, yapılandırmacı yaklaşımın kullanıldığı öğrenme ortamında öğrencilerin olumlu etkiler algılamaları ve etkin öğrenmenin önemini yansıtmaları beklenir.

In the case of adopting the constructivist approach and implementing its practice in the classroom, for example, by encouraging them to abandon the "spoon feeding" style of teaching in favor of a self-centered learning style and to discourage teacher-centered learning for student-centered learning, or choosing a democratic over an authoritarian style, placing greater emphasis on real and everyday life experiences rather than on approaches based on memorization and discarding traditional methods of evaluation for new methods that allow students to explain what they know or have learnt in different ways (Al-Weher, 2004;Flowers & Monroy, 2008).…”

“…Some examples would be to research: how children learn, how students are motivated and which materials are necessary to make learning concepts more interesting for the students, the teacher-student interaction, whether real life examples stimulate students to study specific concepts, why students have problems with certain concepts or skills in certain areas, etc. According to the studies reviewed, the implications derived in terms of what teachers think and believe allow us to conclude that these teachers should be better prepared as regards the what, where and how of research in education (Al-Weher, 2004;Sierra et al, 2009). …”
