ASSESSMENT OF YOUTUBE™ VIDEOS AS A PARENT INFORMATION SOURCE FOR TEETHING SYMPTOMS

Objectives:The aim of the study was to evaluate the quality of information provided by YouTube™ for parents searching information about teething symptoms. Material-Methods:To simulate access to information from the parents’ perspective, the terms "teething symptoms and teething signs" were searched on YouTube™. To obtain a total of 60 acceptable videos, a total of 100 videos were screened. Irrelevant videos, advertisements, non-English videos, duplicates, videos lasted greater than 15 min were excluded. General video assessment included ownership, video age, number of comments, purpose and references. Local and systemic symptoms of teething, duration of teething, and treatment options were also examined in the videos. Global Quality Scale(GQS), DISCERN, viewers’ interaction, and viewing rate were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS Version 26. Results:Sixty three videos were included. The videos had a mean video interaction index of 1.36±3.39. The mean viewing rate was 6915±18125 with a range of 0.7 to 115498. The mean score for GQS was 2.98±1.1, for DISCERN was 1.03±0.89. The mean DISCERN score of layperson was lesser than healthcare professionals (p<0.05). Local symptoms were mentioned in 85.7% of the videos and systemic symptoms in 58.7% of them. Treatments were mentioned in 61.9% of the videos. Conclusions: The quality of information about teething symptoms on YouTube™ was variable, but the quality of videos from laypersons was particularly poor. Reliable YouTube™ videos published by childhealth professionals will be a good resource, especially for parents who cannot reach health institutions due to various reasons such as pandemic

The evaluation of Turkish language learning of bilingual secondary school students whose mother tongue is non-Turkish in the context of four basic language skills and grammer (Sample of Igdir)

Bu araştırma Iğdır ili sınırları içerisinde öğrenim gören ve ana dili Türkçe olmayan iki dili ortaokul öğrencilerinin Türkiye öğrenimlerinin dört temel dil becerisi ve dil bilgisi bağlamında öğrenci görüşlerinden yola çık olarak incelenmesi ve değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden tarama modeli ile yapılmıştır. Verileri toplamak için uzman görüşü alınarak hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemi ile çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma yapılabilmesi için Nevşehir Hacıbektaş Veli Üniversitesi Etik Kurulundan ve Iğdır İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğünden gerekli izinler alınmıştır. Iğdır ili içerisindeki üç farklı okulda eğitim- öğretime devam eden 150 öğrenci ile görüşme yapılmıştır. Öğrenciler 15 sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formundaki sorulara cevap vermişlerdir. Elde edilen görüşlerin ardından tema ve bölümler belirlenmiştir. Veriler yazıya geçirilirken öğrencilerin görüşlerinden doğrudan alıntılar yapılmıştır. Görüş bildiren öğrencilerin her birine ''Ö'' kodu verilmiş. Öğrenciler ''Ö1, Ö2,Ö3,Ö4...'' şeklinde sıralanmıştır. Bulgular tablolaştırılıp yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin birçoğunun iki dilli olduğu ve bu iki dilin birbiriyle her konuda iç içe geçmiş halde olduğu görülmüştür. Evlerinde Kürtçe ve Türkçenin beraber konuşulduğunu söyleyen öğrenciler fazladır. Ana dilleri Kürtçe olan öğrencilerin hemen hemen hepsinin çoğunlukla Türkçe konuştukları görülmüştür. Toplumsal hayatta Türkçenin hâkim dil olması, öğrencilerin sıklıkla Türkçe konuşmalarının hem nedeni hem sonucudur. Kürtçenin genellikle ev ve aile dili, Türkçenin ise bir okul ve kamusal alan dili olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin iki dillilerin yaptığı gibi çeşitli dil yanlışları, kod değiştirmeleri, olumlu ve olumsuz aktarımlar yaptıkları tespit edilmiştir.This research was carried out in order to examine and evaluate the Turkish Language Learning of secondary school students whose mother tongue is not Turkish and who study in the province of Iğdır, based on student opinions in the context of four basic language skills and grammar.

The students answered the questions in the semi-structured interview form consisting of 15 questions. After the opinions obtained, themes and sections were determined. While the data was being written down, direct quotations were made from the students' opinions. Each of the students who expressed their opinions was given the "Ö" code. Students are listed as "Ö1, Ö2, Ö3, Ö4...". The findings were put into the related charts and then interpreted. As a result of the research, it was seen that most of the students were bilingual and these two languages were intertwined with each other in every subject. There are many students who say that Kurdish and Turkish are spoken simultaneously at home. It has been observed that almost all of the students whose mother tongue is Kurdish mostly speak Turkish.Moreover,it has been seen that Kurdish is the language generally spoken at home and among family members, while Turkish is mainly spoken at school and in public.
