Conferences

Dr. Cagri Ozkose-Biyik and Dr. Oner Uslu have been working on an “individually-guided professional development activity scale” within the scope of the EFL Teachers Project. The results of the study have been shared in the following conferences so far:

• Ozkose-Biyik, C. & Uslu, O. (2016, August). Development of a Professional Development Scale for EFL Teachers. Paper presented at the 41st Association for Teacher Education in Europe (ATEE) Conference, Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Click here for ATEE Conference Netherlands for the paper and here for the PowerPoint presentation. The target audience at this presentation was educational researchers from Europe and some other countries such as Israel. There were many parallel sessions, so the number of participants was lower than expected (i.e., about 10); yet, Dr. Ozkose-Biyik received constructive feedback on her scale development study.

Dr. Ozkose-Biyik did not count the number of the attendees at this presentation; however, since there were fewer sessions at this conference, at least 50 researchers from Europe and Turkey were among the audience.
