DETERMINING OF VISUAL ART TEACHER CANDIDATES’ ATTITUDES CONCERNING DESIGN COURSES – THE CASE OF TURKEY

This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of visual arts teacher candidates regarding design courses (Basic Design-I, Basic Design-II, Graphic Design, Industrial Design, Writing, etc.) in Turkey. This study employed an exploratory sequential mixed method design. This design involves the process that the researcher initially carries out a quantitative study and uses the results of the quantitative study in order to generate a more detailed structure of the study by means of qualitative research. Quantitative data were collected through a Likert type measurement called "Design Lessons Attitude Scale" developed by researchers with a descriptive screening method and qualitative data was collected through semi-structured interview forms. The universe of the research consists of 142 Visual Arts teacher candidates studying in the Department of Art Education at Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen, Atatürk, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart, Dokuz Eylül, Erzincan Binali Yıldırım, Uludağ, Van Yüzüncü Yıl Universities in the fall semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. In the study, quantitative data obtained with personal information form were presented by taking their frequency and percentages. Descriptive statistical analyzes were performed in the analysis of the data and the data were determined as percentage, frequency, mean and standard deviation. One-way analysis of variance was used to test whether there was a significant difference in terms of points between the groups created. Analysis results were tested at p <0.05 significance level. In order to analyze the data found after applying the semi-structured interview form, it was classified into categories by examining the qualitative data regularly and classifying by providing data coding. According to the data obtained as a result of the practice, they stated that the practices that the pre-service teachers made in the design courses enable them to think more creatively and differently, that these courses highlight the concepts of innovation, original and aesthetics for them, and also increase their problem-solving skills as well as design.  Article visualizations

Visual art teachers’ determination of the self sufficiency to use alternative assessment tools

DETERMINING THE LEVELS OF ANXIETY, DEPRESSION AND SELF-CONFIDENCE THROUGH DRAWINGS OF CHILDREN AFFECTED BY THE EARTHQUAKE

The aim of this research is to identify behavioral disorders such as post-traumatic anxiety, depression, and self-confidence in their emotional world through the pictures of children who experienced the earthquake. For this purpose, the images of 34 children between the ages of 7 and 9 who experienced the earthquake disaster in Izmir, Türkiye in 2020, were analyzed. In the research, the one-subject research design was used among the experimental designs, which is one of the quantitative research methods. Mann-Whitney U test was used to determine whether there was a significant difference in the analysis of the data. According to the findings of the study, it was concluded that children reflected mental health variables such as their depressive levels, self-esteem levels, and anxiety states with the pictures they drew. The scores obtained from the sub-dimensions of anxiety, depression, and self-confidence in the children's drawings evaluated through the scale were higher in the preliminary drawings immediately after the earthquake compared to the final drawings made three months later. It is understood that this finding caused the high scores of the preliminary drawings because they were made right after the earthquake. This situation revealed that the prepared scale was valid and reliable.  Article visualizations

As a result of the research, it was observed that there was a significant difference in favor of the experimental group between the posttest of the experimental group in which the cooperative learning approach was applied and the post-test mean scores of the groups according to the results of the t-test analysis for the independent samples conducted for the control groups where the activity was not applied.  Article visualizations

Automatic keyword assignment system for medical research articles using nearest-neighbor searches

Assigning accurate keywords to research articles is increasingly important concern. Keywords should be selected meticulously to describe the article well since keywords play an important role in matching readers with research articles in order to reach a bigger audience. So, improper selection of keywords may result in less attraction to readers which results in degradation in its audience. Hence, we designed and developed an automatic keyword assignment system (AKAS) for research articles based on k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) and threshold-nearest neighbor (t-NN) accompanied with information retrieval systems (IRS), which is a corpus-based method by utilizing IRS using the Medline dataset in PubMed. First, AKAS accepts an abstract of the research article or a particular text as a query to the IRS. Next, the IRS returns a ranked list of articles to the given query. Then, we selected a set of documents from this list using two different methods, which are k-NN and t-NN representing the first k documents and documents whose similarity is greater than the threshold value of t, respectively. To evaluate our proposed system, we conducted a set of experiments on a selected subset of 458,594 PubMed articles. Then, we performed an experiment to observe the performance of AKAS results by comparing with the original keywords assigned by authors. The results we obtained showed that our system suggests keywords more than 55% match in terms of F-score. We presented both methods we used and results of experiments, in detail

Humiliation in the virtual world: Definitions and conceptualization

The cyberspace represents a platform for social relations which permit to be in touch with the World, to be “seen” by others and to “see” others. As new technologies emerge, ways of viewing are revised, especially through screens: though it has facilitated communication, the main innovation of the virtual world has been seeing, hearing and showing everything with the individual at the center of permanent interactions. But this overexposure can be dangerous: in attempting to be as much a part of the virtual world through self-exposition, individuals expose themselves to potential sources of humiliation. This exploratory analysis will outline the main literature concerning humiliation in the virtual world. By looking at the interaction occurring in the Internet, it will be shown that a dialectic exchange between “being seen” and “seeing” others exists and that it can be a trap for the individuals which leads to humiliation, henceforth called “cyber-humiliation”. It will be also attempted to outline the differences between cyber-humiliation and humiliation in the contemporary society
