The Opinions of Secondary School Mathematics Teachers about the Lesson Study

The aim of this study is to search the opinions of the secondary school mathematics teachers about the lesson study. It is a qualitative study which aims to describe the opinions of teacher views and was carried out with six secondary school math teachers. The study group of the research is set by criterion sampling method and focus group discussion technique is used in data collection process. In the analyzing of the data, descriptive analyze is performed. It is found out that the teachers have the positive opinions (utilization of each other’s experiences, generating new ideas together, composing the ideal lesson plan that a student can learn best, bringing the teachers the skill of analyzing a subject multidimensional, and developing common affects) about the lesson study. Besides teachers expressed the opinion of the negative effects of Lesson Study such as the insufficient of time, being recorded by a camera, teaching in front of other teachers or in a different class, the difficulty of gathering together and making a common plan. In this regard as using camera and lecturing in other teachers’ and class’ environments excite teachers, it can be searched what can be done to prevent teachers from exciting in other lesson study researches

Early results of comparison of hydrophilic anatomical mesh and polypropylene mesh for laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) inguinal hernia repair

Objective: To compare the results, feasibility, and effectiveness of laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) hernia repair made using anatomical hydrophilic mesh and polypropylene mesh. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of General Surgery, Recepc Tayyip Erdo??an University Training and Research Hospital, Rize, Turkey and Department of General Surgery, Ondokuz May??s University Medical Faculty, Samsun, Turkey from January 2017 to October 2020. Methodology: Comparative analysis on patient who had TEP for inguinal hernia. Group 1 included repairs using hydrophilic anatomical mesh, Group 2 included repairs using polypropylene mesh. Both were compared for operation times, complications, and return to work. Results: There were 34 patients in Group 1 and 31 patients in Group 2. The average operation time was shorter in Group 1 (p = 0.001). Postoperative complications, were significantly less common in Group 1 (p = 0.045). Patients were able to return to their work-life earlier in Group 1 after surgery (p = 0.001). Conclusion: Both anatomic mesh and polypropylene mesh can be used in TEP hernia repair. These two materials stand out with their different properties. Whereas anatomical mesh shortens the operation time, decreases the rate of postoperative complications, and enables the early return to work, polypropylene mesh is cost-effective and easily accessible

THE EFFECT OF LESSON STUDY ON THE PERCEPTIONS OF MATHEMATICS TEACHERS ABOUT SUBJECT AREA COMPETENCIES

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of lesson study, a professional development model, on the perceptions of middle school mathematics teachers about subject area competencies and the views of the teachers about this model. In this study, which was conducted with a qualitative research method, the data were collected through semi-structured interviews from the middle school mathematics teachers after three lesson-research-cycles. The descriptive analysis of the data presented some findings: a) identification/determination of Mathematics Subject Area Competencies (MSAC) while preparing and applying a lesson plan, b) being able to use their knowledge of mathematics, c) developments of the students’ mathematical skills through groupwork and d) a more active teaching process with Lesson Study (LS). On the other hand, it was also seen that there are some negative findings showing that preparing a detailed lesson plan is troublesome and the teachers have difficulty in coming together and using the technology. In this context, it is believed that this study will enlighten the researchers who are interested in LS method to learn about the subject area competencies of teachers from different branches, to learn about the effect of mathematics teachers' general competencies related to teaching profession on teaching and about teachers' technological competencies.  Article visualizations

Literacy Environments of Preschool Education Classrooms in Turkey: The Case of Muğla

This study examined the quality of the literacy environments of 17 public preschool classrooms in Muğla, Turkey through detailed observations using the OMLIT-CLOC, an inventory of classroom literacy resources that identifies and rates 11 aspects of the literacy environment on a scale from 1 (low) to 3 (high). The results indicated the literacy environments of preschool classrooms in Muğla–including print displays, books, writing and reading areas and listening materials – to be of low-to-moderate quality. Based on the findings of this study, other ways of improving preschool education classrooms can be pinpointed, such as enriching the book genres accessible to children, providing more supplementary print material in the classroom and integrating literacy materials, toys and props into other classroom learning centers
