I hold dual bachelor\u2019s degrees in Computer Science Education<\/strong> and Computer Engineering<\/strong> from Gazi University, and I earned my master\u2019s and doctoral degrees in Computer Education and Instructional Technology<\/strong> from Hacettepe University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My research interests revolve around digital education, educational technology, computing education, interdisciplinary education (STE(A)M education), teacher education, and professional development. I actively contribute to both national and international educational projects as a project manager and researcher, and my work is supported by a range of scientific publications<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one of the co-founders of the Interdisciplinary Teacher Academy<\/a><\/strong> research group, I collaborate with esteemed colleagues at Hacettepe University ONTOLAB<\/a><\/strong> and the JKU Linz STEAM Education<\/a><\/strong> research groups. These collaborations allow me to contribute to cutting-edge research and foster innovation in education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond my professional endeavors, I take immense pride in being the mother of three wonderful daughters, who inspire me every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
