About Me

Hello! This is Çağlar (Chaalar). I got my bachelor degree in Computer Education and Instructional Technology in Turkey. So, I could say that I’m in Educational Technology for 10 years. While I was in undergrad, I decided to pursue my master and PhD in the same area. The United States was the best place for me to be a well-educated person in academia. 4 years ago, I started to my language education at the University of Pennsylvania. Then, I applied to grad schools in the United States. In my acceptances, I chose the Ohio State University because research interests and the advisor fit very well for my career.I have completed my master’s degree in the summer term of 2016. Right now, I am a first year PhD student at Learning Technologies department at OSU. So, I’m happy to be here with precious people who have different backgrounds and great experiences.
I work for the Research Laboratory for Digital Learning since August 2014. We have different projects that were funded. I m interested in gamification, gamified educational materials, and mobile applications.

My research interests:
∙ Specialization in Educational Technology and desire to continue MS/PhD in this field.
∙ Long-term career goal is to be a leading professor in the Educational Technology Department and to apply the latest scientific developments into these studies.
∙  Gamification, self regulated learning, game-based learning, technology integration in teaching and educational research, integration of traditional and modern education, multimedia design, instructional design and development.
