7E Modeline göre düzenlenmiş İngilizce Öğretim Programının 11.Sınıf öğrencilerinin İngilizce dersindeki başarılarına ve kalıcı öğrenmelerine etkisinin incelenmesi

The present study aims to investigate the impact of teaching activities designed in line with 7E model on 11th graders' academic success and retention in English courses. The study was conducted on a total number of 63 11th grade students studying in two different classes of a state school in Konya in 2016-2017 academic year. Quasi-experimental model was used within the study. While teaching activities designed according to 7E model were implemented on the experimental group for 7 weeks, the activities of the regular curriculum were implemented on the control group. At the end of 7 weeks of study, English course achievement test was conducted on both groups again as post-test. 3 weeks after the implementation, retention test was conducted on both groups. At the end of the study, it was found out that activities designed according to 7E model significantly contribute to the academic achievement and retention of the studentsBu çalışmanın amacı, İngilizce derslerinde 7E modeline göre düzenlenmiş öğretim etkinliklerinin lise 11. Sınıf öğrencilerinin başarılarına ve kalıcı öğrenmelerine olan etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma, 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılında Konya ilinde bulunan bir devlet okulunda iki farklı şubede öğrenim gören 11.sınıf toplam 63 öğrenci ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Cooperative Learning in EFL Classes: A Comparative Study on Vocabulary Teaching

This present study aims to investigate the efficiency of cooperative learning and traditional instruction in terms of vocabulary recognition in foreign language teaching. In line with this purpose, the study searches for the answer of the following research question: “Is there a significant difference between the vocabulary learning performances of the students who were taught through cooperative learning method and the students who were taught through traditional methods?”and tries to find out whether students’ vocabulary could be enriched through an instruction which emphasizes the role of cooperation rather than competition among students in teaching vocabulary. The study employs a quantitative research design comparing cooperative learning versus traditional method in terms of vocabulary learning/teaching. The instruments of the study cover a pre-test, a posttest, 8 reading texts, worksheets, posters, and quizzes. The test in concern- the vocabulary test- underwent a process with the guidance and supervision of language and scale development experts, and then was finalised to be used as the pre-test and posttest Cronbach’s alpha 0.83 . The participants were freshmen at Selcuk University School of Foreign Languages SOFL . The study was carried out in a four-week experimental process on two groups- experimental and control – each of which consisted of 18 students. A pre-test was applied at the beginning of the process to make sure if the two groups were equal in terms of their prior vocabulary knowledge and see the improvement afterwards. Throughout the study, the experimental group experienced learning vocabulary through Cooperative Learning CL and the control group was taught through traditional instruction- the gloss and the use of a monolingual dictionary with the same vocabulary syllabus for both groups. At the end of four weeks, a post-test -the same as the pre-test- was applied. Collected data was analysed through SPSS. The results indicated that the participants of the experimental group who had the Cooperative Learning experience led to better results in terms of vocabulary learning than the other students who were taught through the traditional instructio

Yeni Medya Okuryazarlığı Odağında Çeviri Eğitimine Yönelik Sosyal Medya Tabanlı Ders İçeriği Örneği

Les développements actuels dans les domaines des nouveaux médias et des technologies de communication redéfinissent les méthodes de production, de consommation, de communication et même le processus d’apprentissage. Les nouveaux médias sont aujourd’hui à la base de profondes mutations sociales. Les réseaux sociaux sont de nouveaux moyens de faire vivre les liens communautaires et aussi les outils efficaces qui font partie intégrante de l'éducation qui se sont soulevés autour des technologies web. Ce travail, qui vise à concevoir le plan d’un cours intitulé Réseaux de médias sociaux et pratiques de traduction (MTF 3372) au Département de Langues et Littératures Occidentales à l'Université technique de Yıldız, adopte une approche socio-constructiviste. Ce cours a pour objectif de sensibiliser les futurs traducteurs, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, à acquérir des compétences particulières aux mouvements de traduction collaborative organisés dans les réseaux de médias sociaux et aux diverses pratiques sur les statuts et les identités des traducteurs. Cependant, il faut aussi développer une démarche de pratique réflexive chez les étudiants et les former à un usage responsable de la littératie numériqu

Vascular and structural alterations of the choroid evaluated by optical coherence tomography angiography and enhanced-depth imaging optical coherence tomography in eyes with reticular pseudodrusen and soft drusen

Background: To assess the vascularity of choriocapillaris and structural choroidal differences in eyes with reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) and soft drusen. Methods: 21 eyes with RPD (group 1), 17 eyes with soft drusen (group 2), and 19 eyes as a control group (group 3) were included in this study. Choriocapillaris vascular density and flow area were measured by optical coherence tomography angiography. Total choroidal area, luminal area, stromal area, and lumen/stroma ratios were measured on optical coherence tomography B-scans converted to binary images. Results: Mean choriocapillaris vascular density was higher in group 3 than other groups (group 1 vs 3, p = 0.001; group 2 vs 3, p = 0.003). Mean flow area in choriocapillaris was higher in group 3 than other groups (group 1 vs 3, p = 0.001; group 2 vs 3, p = 0.001). Mean luminal, stromal, and total choroidal areas decreased in group 1 and group 2 compared to controls (p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively). The stroma ratio decreased in group 1 compared to group 3 (p = 0.013). The lumen ratio and lumen/stroma ratio increased in group 1 compared to group 3 (p = 0.012 and p = 0.008, respectively). Conclusions: The choroid of eyes with RPD and soft drusen was affected in both choriocapillaris and whole choroid layer. © 2021 Elsevier B.V

Behcet's disease and renal failure

Background. The aims of this study were (i) to investigate the prevalence of Behcet's disease (BD) among dialysis patients in Turkey, (ii) to report the clinical characteristics of patients with BD and endstage renal disease (ESRD), (iii) to evaluate the effect of ESRD on course and activity of BD and (iv) to analyse the published data about BD and renal failure. Methods. A questionnaire investigating BD among dialysis patients was submitted to 350 dialysis centres and we obtained the data for 20 596 patients from 331 dialysis centres. We submitted a second questionnaire regarding clinical characteristics of the patients with BD and ESRD. The PubMed and Web of Science databases were used for the analysis of BD and renal failure. Results. Fourteen patients with BD were determined and the prevalence of BD was 0.07% among 20 596 dialysis patients in Turkey. None of the patients has had a new manifestation of BD after initiation of haemodialysis treatment. The analysis of previous data about renal BD demonstrated 67 patients with renal failure. Conclusions. The most common cause of renal failure in BD is amyloidosis. Routine urine analysis and measurement of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels are needed for early diagnosis. Vascular access-related problems are common and the activity of BD appears to decrease in patients with ESRD after initiation of haemodialysis

Does the Efferent Auditory System Have a Role in Children with Specific Learning Disabilities?

Objective: This study aimed to compare the baseline transient otoacoustic emission (t-OAE) amplitudes and medial olivo-cochlear (MOC) efferent activity in children with specific learning disability (SLD) and children with normal development.Methods: The study was conducted in two groups. The patient group included 30 children aged 6 to 10 years and diagnosed with SLD, and the control group included 30 children in the same age range without SLD. The patient group included eight males and 22 females, and the control group included 14 females and 16 males. t-OAE and contralateral suppression test were performed in both groups.Results: In the first t-OAE measurements, a statistically significant difference was observed between the patient and the control group at frequencies of 1400, 2000, 2800, and 4000 Hz, but no such difference was observed at 1000 Hz frequency. In the control group, significantly better emission amplitudes were observed. No differences were found at any frequency between the patient and the control groups after suppression. When the subjects in the two groups were compared among themselves, there was a statistically significant difference between the before and after suppression scores in the patient group except at 4000 Hz. Likewise, an important difference was also observed in all frequencies in the control group.Conclusion: This study shows that suppression effects of t-OAE on children diagnosed with SLD and children with no SDL are not significantly different
