Web Deseni Üzerine Alternatif Ölçme ve Değerlendirme Yaklaşımı Araştırması

The purpose of the present study has been to explore the effect on students of an alternative measurement and assessment tool developed for the science unit on “Matter and Heat.” Inspired by the teaching technique of concept development and the alternative measurement tool of the descriptive branched tree, an alternative measurement tool of web design was developed to conduct experimental research with 62 students at a primary school in Samsun. Results showed that, compared to the control group students who were instructed with traditional teaching approaches, the experimental group students who were tested with the web-based measurement tool recorded a statistically significant difference in achievement in the unit on “Matter and Heat.” No significant difference, however, was observed in these students’ attitudes toward the science and technology lessons. It is believed that developing an alternative measurement tool of web design encompassing all of the units of the 6th, 7th and 8th grade science and technology curriculum will be of benefit to students and will make an important contribution to the work of teachersBu çalışmanın amacı, “Madde ve Isı” ünitesi için geliştirilen bir alternatif ölçme ve değerlendirme aracını tanıtmak ve öğrenciler üzerindeki etkinliğini araştırmaktır. Öğretim tekniklerinden görüş geliştirme ve alternatif ölçme araçlarından tanılayıcı dallanmış ağaçtan esinlenerek geliştirilen web tasarımlı alternatif ölçme aracı, deneysel bir araştırma yaklaşımıyla Samsun merkezde yer alan bir ilköğretim okulunda 62 öğrencinin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.Sonuç olarak, hazırlanmış olan web tasarımlı ölçme aracının kullanıldığı deney grubu öğrencilerinin başarılarında, geleneksel öğretim yaklaşımının kullanıldığı kontrol grubu öğrencilerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir değişikliğin olduğu görülmüştür. Buna karşın, öğrencilerin fen ve teknoloji dersine yönelik tutumlarında ise anlamlı bir farklılık gözlenmemiştir. Web tasarımlı alternatif ölçme aracının 6, 7 ve 8. sınıf fen ve teknoloji müfredatının tüm ünitelerini kapsayacak şekilde geliştirilmesinin hem öğrencilere hem de öğretmenlere önemli katkılar sağlayacağı düşünülmektedi

Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) of chemistry teachers who work in pilot high schools in Fatih Project

FATİH projesi kapsamında pilot olarak belirlenen okullardaki kimya öğretmenlerinin teknolojik pedagojik alan bilgisi (TPAB) yeterlik düzeylerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada hem nicel hem de nitel veri toplamaya olanak veren karma yöntemler kullanılmıştır. 2012 yılında Fatih Projesinin pilot olarak uygulandığı 17 farklı ilde (Ankara, Balıkesir, Bingöl, Diyarbakır, Erzincan, Erzurum, Hatay, İstanbul, İzmir, Karaman, Kayseri, Kocaeli, Mersin, Rize, Samsun, Uşak, Yozgat illerinde) Milli Eğitim Bakanlığına bağlı devlet liselerinde görev yapan 103 kimya öğretmenin katılımıyla gerçekleştirilen araştırmada nicel veriler TPAB anketi ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel verileri ise Ankara ilinde görev yapan dört öğretmen ile odak grup görüşmesi yapılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada nicel veriler SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 18.0 istatistik paket programında betimsel istatistikler, kay kare ve bağımsız örneklem t-testi kullanılarak analiz edilirken nitel veriler betimsel analiz yöntemine uygun olarak kodlanmış ve temalar oluşturularak sunulmuştur. Araştırmanın nicel verilerinin analizinden kimya öğretmenlerinin eğitim teknolojilerindeki yenilikleri çok fazla takip etmedikleri; Wiki, yazıcı, CD, eğitim yazılımları ve elektronik tablolama teknolojileri hariç diğer eğitim teknolojilerini kadın ve erkek öğretmenlerin kullanma sıklıklarının aynı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca kimya öğretmenlerinin TPAB öz yeterlik düzeylerinin yeterince yüksek olmadığı, özyeterlik düzeylerinin cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermediği, teknolojik pedagojik alan bilgisi boyutunda lisans mezunlarına göre yüksek lisans mezunlarının, pedagojik bilgi boyutunda hizmet öncesi eğitim almayanlara göre alanların kendilerine daha fazla iii güvendikleri belirlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan araştırmamızda kişisel bilgisayara sahip olmanın TPAB öz yeterlik düzeylerine etki etmediği gözlenmiştir. Kimya Öğretmenlerinin TPAB öz-yeterlik düzeylerinin kıdem yılına göre değişimi incelendiğinde PB, AB, PAB alt boyutlarına alınan puanlar ile kıdem yılı arasında pozitif yönde, TB, TAB, TPB, TPAB alt boyutları ile toplamda alınan puanlar ile kıdem yılı arasında ise negatif yönde düşük düzeyde ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın nitel verilerinden ise öğretmenlerin sistemi tam olarak çalıştıramama, tabletler nedeniyle öğrencilerin ilgisini derse çekememe, tabletlere veri girişi yapamama, tabletlerde bazen verilerin kaybolması, akıllı tahtaların sık sık arızalanması, teknik donanımla ilgili yeterli destek alamama, yazılımların ilgi çekici olmaması, yeterli teknolojik bilgiye sahip olmama gibi sorunlar yaşadıkları anlaşılmıştır.In this study which is aimed to determine level of proficiency of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) of chemistry teachers working at the schools designated as pilot schools in FATIH Project, mixed methods were used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. In this research, quantitative data was collected by Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPCK) questionnaire with participation of 103 chemistry teachers who work in pilot schools in FATIH Project in 2012 from 17 different cities (Ankara, Balıkesir, Bingöl, Diyarbakır, Erzincan, Erzurum, Hatay, İstanbul, İzmir, Karaman, Kayseri, Kocaeli, Mersin, Rize, Samsun, Uşak, Yozgat). Qualitative data were achieved by focus group discussion with four teachers who served in Ankara. While quantitative data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics, chi square and independent sample t-test in SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) 18.0 statistical package program, qualitative data was coded according to descriptive analysis method and presented by creating themes. From analysis of the quantitative data, it is come out that chemistry teachers don?t follow innovations in education technology. It is also come out that the frequency of using learning technologies except Wiki, printers, CDs, educational software and electronic spreadsheet technologies were the same as male and female. Also, chemistry teachers? TPCK self-efficacy levels are not high enough. No gender differences were v found in the levels of self-efficacy. The graduates who got master degree trust themselves more than who didn?t have master degrees in TPCK. In addition to that teachers who had pre-service education about TPCK, trust themselves in comparison with the teachers who didn?t have pre service education about TPCK. Also it has been observed that having personal computer do not affect the level of TPCK self-efficacy. Examining the levels of chemistry teachers in accordance with the years of seniority, it is come out that, there is positive correlation between PK, CK, PCK sub dimension scores and the year of seniority, there is negative correlation among TK, TCK, TPK, TPCK dimension scores and years of seniority at low level. Qualitative data of research have been shown up that teachers have problems so called. Teachers cannot operate system properly, cannot draw attention of their students during lesson because of tablets, can not enter data to tablets, sometimes loss of data in tablets, often fails smart boards, not taking enough support on technical equipment, lack of interesting software programs, not having technological knowledge

Selection Of Technology Transfer Method By Using Analytic Hierarchy Process Method

Tez (Yüksek Lisans) -- İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2009Thesis (M.Sc.) -- İstanbul Technical University, Institute of Science and Technology, 2009Bu çalışmada, Analitik Hiyerarşik Proses yöntemi kullanılarak, teknoloji transfer yöntemlerinin seçiminde kullanılabilecek, analitik karar vermeye yardımcı yeni bir model elde edilmiştir. Teknolojinin firmalarca uygun şekilde transfer edilmesi rekabet gücünü belirleyen önemli bir unsurdur. Fakat firmaların özelliklerini ortaya koyarak bu özellikler ile eşleştirebilecekleri teknoloji transfer yöntemleri belirlenmiş değildir. Bu çalışma ile teknoloji transfer yöntemi olarak yedi adet alternatif ortaya konmuştur. Aynı zamanda alternatiflerin özelliklerinden yola çıkılarak firmaların tercihlerini etkileyebilecek dört kriter belirlenmiştir. Rekabetçiliği sürdürme ana amacına bağlı olarak, yedi alternatif ve dört kriter temel alınarak Analitik Hiyerarşik Proses Yöntemi ile bir model oluşturulmuştur. Geliştirilen model ile firmalara uygun teknoloji transferinin seçiminde analitik bir karar verme olanağı yaratılmıştır. Sonuçta elde edilen model tüm firmalara uygulanabilir bir model olup, belirsiz durumlarda karar vermeyi kolaylaştırarak, firmaların rekabetçi gücü artırma amacına hizmet etmektedir.In this study using Analytic Hierarchy Process method a new model is obtained for the selection of technology transfer methods in order to help analytic decision making. Transferring technology appropriately by the firms is an important element in terms of defining the competitive power. However, there are no technology transfer methods that the firms are able to match with their priorities even the firms are already define them. By this study seven alternatives are obtained as technology transfer methods. At the same time four criteria which have effects on the preference of the firms are also defined considering properties of alternatives. Depending on the main goal which is continuing competitiveness, also considering seven alternatives and four criteria the model is obtained by using Analytic Hierarchy Process method. This new developed model provides firms the opportunity of making an analytic decision in the selection of appropriate technology transfer. In conclusion this model is not only applicable to all kinds of firms but also serves to increase the competitive power by facilitating decision making in uncertain environment.Yüksek LisansM.Sc

Characterization of the BETA1 gene, which might play a role in Beta vulgaris subsp. Maritima salt tolerance

Salinity stress has a negative impact on plant growth, which affects homeostasis and productivity. The uptake of nonessential salt ions changes the osmotic balance of the cell and causes dehydration. Higher plants develop salt tolerance mechanisms to avoid dehydration. Sea beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. maritima) is a halophytic ancestor of cultivated sugar beet that displays salt stress tolerance. In this study, we screened a B. vulgaris subsp. maritima cDNA library in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain Ab11c (ena1Δ, nha1/4Δ, nhx1Δ), which is deficient in sodium transport, to find sodium-detoxifying genes. We identified a cDNA construct, named BETA1, providing salt tolerance to yeast cells. This gene had no previously described function. Intracellular sodium measurements demonstrated no significant differences between yeast cells expressing BETA1 or a sham vector, suggesting that sodium was not effluxed in BETA1-expressing cells. Transcriptionally, BETA1 mRNA levels were induced immediately in leaves and later in the root system in response to the salt stress. Our results suggest that the BETA1 gene is part of the salt tolerance network in B. vulgaris subsp. maritima.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (115Z694

Investigation of the forkhead box protein P2 gene by the next-generation sequence analysis method in children diagnosed with specific learning disorder

Objective It was aimed to investigate the role of the forkhead box protein P2 (FOXP2) gene in the cause of specific learning disorder (SLD) with the next-generation sequencing method. Material and methods The study included 52 children diagnosed with SLD and 46 children as control between the ages of 6–12 years. Interview Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children, Present and Lifelong Version in Turkish, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV)-Based Screening and Evaluation Scale for Attention Deficit and Disruptive Behavior Disorders, Specific Learning Disability Test Battery were applied to all participants. The FOXP2 gene was screened by the nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) method in all participants. Results A total of 17 variations were detected in the FOXP2 gene in participants. The number and diversity of variations were higher in the patient group. In the patient group, c.1914+8A>T heterozygous variation and three different types of heterozygous variation (13insT, 13delT and 4dup) in the c.1770 region were detected. It was found that the detected variations showed significant relationships with the reading phenotypes determined by the test battery. Conclusion It was found that FOXP2 variations were seen more frequently in the patient group. Some of the detected variations might be related to the clinical phenotype of SLD and variations found in previous studies from different countries were not seen in Turkish population. Our study is the first to evaluate the role of FOXP2 gene variations in children with SLD in Turkish population, and novel variations in the related gene were detected

THE CONCEPT OF CARRYING CAPACITY IN TERMS OF SUSTAINABLE USE POLICIES: A CASE STUDY OF BAYRAMİÇ AYAZMAPINARI NATURAL PARK (ÇANAKKALE, TURKEY)

The idea underlying the understanding of sustainability is that mankind should live in such a way that will not exceed the carrying capacity of the environment in order to support it. That is, the sustainable management of natural resources is the way to attain sustainable development. On the other hand, ecological sustainability can be achieved only through conservation-based scientific approaches. If the problems to be caused by the uncontrolled use of resources are predicted in advance and if planning is made to this end, the sustainable use of protected areas will be possible. The concept of "carrying capacity" and the planning studies carried out within the framework of this concept are also essential to hand protected areas down to the future. According to the World Tourism Organization, the Carrying Capacity is defined as the maximum number of people that may visit a tourism area at the same time, without any destruction of the physical, economic, and sociocultural environments and without any undesirable decrease in visitors’ satisfaction levels. In addition, again the World Tourism Organization also stated that the carrying capacity was fundamental to environmental conservation and sustainable development.             Within the framework of this study, it was intended to determine the carrying capacity of Bayramiç Ayazmapınarı Natural Park, which was taken under conservation with the "Natural Park" status in 2011 and which plays an important role in the economic development of the locality. "The Method of Estimating the Carrying Capacity in Protected Areas", recommended by the IUCN, was employed in the research, which was carried out to ensure the sustainable use of the study area with important natural and cultural landscape assets. As a result of the method, it was established that Bayramiç Ayazmapınarı Natural Park had some intensity of use above its carrying capacity. It was concluded that the intensive tourism activities creating a rather negative situation in terms of the sustainability of resources should be re-planned on the basis of conservation & use. Proposals of conservation policies were made in order to hand the existing natural and cultural landscape assets down to future generations. Furthermore, the incomplete or wrong uses in the area were highlighted and various suggestions were made to this end in the research.  &nbsp
