The Middle School Students’ Attitudes towards Turkish Course and Perceptions for Turkish Teachers

The purpose of this study is to determine the attitude towards Turkish Course and reveal the perception of students towards Turkish Course and teacher. In this context, a personal information form and Attitude Towards Turkish Course (ATTC) Scale were applied to 419 students who receive education in the center of Kirsehir province, in Turkey. In addition to that, the metaphors of students towards Turkish teacher and course were compiled by means of semi-structured interview form. The students were also required to draw pictures that express their feelings towards Turkish Course. The results can be summarized as follows: it was seen that Turkish teachers were likened to an “angel”, “cotton” and “panda”, and happy emojis and heart figures were drawn towards Turkish Course. It was understood that the attitudes of- female students in comparison to male students, the ones who possess a phone to the ones who do not, the ones who have a higher literacy level to the ones with lower literacy level, the ones with more social media followers to the ones with less followers and the ones who spend more extracurricular time with to the ones who do not- have been developed more positively

A Word Frequency Study and Refugee Students in Turkey

WOS: 000477757000008Word frequency studies can be described as studies conducted to determine which words are used more frequently in written or verbal texts in a language. In this study, it was aimed to do a word frequency study on the 6th grade Turkish textbook for 2017. In this way, it was desired to determine word frequency for refugee students having education with Turkish students in the schools of Ministry of National Education. Document analysis method was applied in the study, data were processed through content analysis and revealed descriptively. 14.999 words were analyzed in total. Analyzed words were classified as nouns, verbs, gerunds, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, pronouns and exclamations. It was determined that nouns were used most frequently among these word types. Verbs, adjectives, gerunds, conjunctions, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions and exclamations followed this. It was determined that nouns had the largest range. Gerunds, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, pronouns, exclamations and postpositions followed this in terms of range.

Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Akıcı Okuma Becerilerinin Çeşitli Değişkenler Açısından İncelenmesi

Bu çalışmada ortaokul öğrencilerinin akıcı okuma becerilerinin tespit edilerek çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda öğrencilerin akıcı okuma becerileri ile sınıf düzeyleri, cinsiyet özellikleri, sosyoekonomik durumları, anne-baba eğitim düzeyi ve Türkçe dersindeki akademik başarı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiler incelenmiştir. Çalışmaya 2016-2017 eğitim-öğretim yılı güz yarıyılında Yozgat il merkezinden tesadüfi olarak belirlenen 340 öğrenci dâhil edilmiştir. Her bir öğrenciye bir olay öyküsü, bir durum öyküsü bir de makale türündeki metin birer dakika okutulmuştur. Öğrencilerin okumaları ses kaydedici ile kaydedilmiştir. Daha sonra bu kayıtlar dinlenerek öğrencilerin akıcı okuma becerileri yanlış kelime sayısı, hız, hatasızlık ve prozodi boyutları üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma, nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel ve ilişkisel tarama modeli ile yürütülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler istatistik programı ile işlenmiştir. Bu araştırma kapsamında ortaya konan sonuçlara göre akıcı okuma becerisi sınıf seviyesi yükseldikçe artmıştır. Cinsiyet değişkenine göre kız öğrenciler erkek öğrencilerden daha akıcı okumuşlardır. Ailenin sosyoekonomik düzeyi, ebeveynin eğitim düzeyi ve öğrencilerin Türkçe dersi akademik başarı düzeyi yükseldikçe akıcı okuma becerisi de artmıştırBu çalışmada ortaokul öğrencilerinin akıcı okuma becerilerinin tespit edilerek çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Risk Factors to Pre-Clinical Atherosclerosis Evaluated by Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Descriptive Research

Objective: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease in childhood. Cardiovascular mor- bidity and mortality are becoming important health problems for children with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. The aim of this study was to eval- uate carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in children with JIA and to examine its association with JIA subtype, markers of inflammation, and early atherosclerosis. Material and Methods: We included 112 (50 boys and 62 girls) patients who have been followed by a diagnosis of JIA for at least 6 months and 54 healthy control subjects (32 girls and 22 males) who were matched with the patients age and gender. All children under- went a carotid artery. Inflammation markers were evaluated in the patient group. Cumulative drug doses, total disease duration (TDD), active disease duration (ADD) were calculated. All CIMT values were compared in pa- tients, subgroups, and control groups, and their relationship with inflam- mation markers was investigated. Results: CIMT values in found that children with JIA were significantly higher than in healthy children. There was no difference between the disease subgroups in terms of CIMT. No relationship was found between CIMT measurements and atherosclerosis risk factors, drugs, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cell and C-reactive protein. A negative correlation was found between mean platelet volume (MPV) and right CIMT. A statistically significant positive corre- lation was detected between the right CIMT and TDD (r=0.221, p=0.022), and ADD (r=0.248, p=0.010). Conclusion: The study showed that the pa- tients with JIA had more risks than healthy controls for cardiovascular dis- ease (CVD) regardless of subgroup. We concluded early and aggressive therapies may be protective for CVD. Negative correlation was found be- tween MPV and CIMT that is consistent with recently published literature, but there is need for further studies with a larger patient population
