Analysing studies conducted on responsibility education in Turkey: A Meta-synthesis study

The aim of this study was to analyse studies conducted on the topic of responsibility education in Turkey up to the present. The research method was structured in two stages. In the first stage, the trends in all studies conducted with regard to responsibility education were determined with descriptive content analysis, and in the second stage, the findings in the studies were synthesised by reinterpretation with meta-synthesis. Criteria for inclusion of studies in the research were that: (1) research related to responsibility education was carried out, (2) the method used was clearly stated, (3) they were articles published in refereed scientific journals or masters/doctoral theses, and (4) the research sample was within the borders of Turkey. Review was carried out with the keyword “sorumluluk” (“responsibility”) on the DergiPark, Google Scholar and Higher Education Council Thesis databases. These studies were analysed using a “Research Information Form” prepared by the researchers. As a result of the analysis, the findings can be summarised as follows: the great majority of the conducted studies are scientific articles and recent studies. They vary in terms of methods used. A large majority are studies in which teachers’ opinions are examined. The studies were grouped into four categories depending on their aims in relation to responsibility education, namely, “studies examining opinions”, “studies in which activities and practices are used in lessons”, “studies on curriculum development”, and “studies examining course books”.The aim of this study was to analyse studies conducted on the topic of responsibility education in Turkey up to the present.

Fizik eğitiminde öğretmen adaylarının öğrenme stillerinin araştırılması

Bu çalışmada Fizik Eğitimi Öğretmen Adaylarının Öğrenme Stilleri araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada 2002-2003 eğitim-öğretim yılı Marmara Üniversitesi Atatürk Eğitim Fakültesi Fizik Öğretmenliği Tezsiz Yüksek Lisans ve Eğitim Bilimleri Enstitüsü Fizik Öğretmenliği Tezsiz Yüksek Lisans öğrencilerine (n=100) David A. Kolb tarafından geliştirilen Öğrenme Stilleri Envanteri uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, fizik eğitimindeki öğretmen adaylarının öğrenme stillerinin cinsiyet, program, yarıyıl, mezuniyet şansı gibi demografik özelliklere göre değişip değişmediğini araştırmaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda çeşitli alt problemlere cevap aranmış ve istatistik analizler yapılmıştır. Fizik Öğretmen Adaylarının Kolb Öğrenme Stilleri Envanterine verdikleri cevaplardan elde edilen puanların İstatistiksel Bilgisayar Paket Programda Güvenirlik Analizi yapılmıştır. Belirtici İstatistik Analizler yapılmış, Fizik Öğretmen Adaylarının Soyut Kavramsallaştırma öğrenme biçiminden neredeyse maksimum puan aldıkları görülmüştür. Frekans ve yüzdelik dağılımlar oluşturulmuş, Fizik Öğretmen Adaylarının % 43 gibi büyük bir çoğunluğu Ayrıştıran öğrenme stilini, % 34'ü ise Yerleştiren öğrenme stilini tercih etmiştir. Özümseyen öğrenme stiline sahip olan öğrenciler % 12, Değiştiren öğrenme stiline sahip öğrenciler ise % 11'dir. Çapraz tablolar oluşturulmuş; Fizik Öğretmen Adaylarının öğrenme stillerinin demografik özelliklere göre dağılımları gösterilmiştir. Ki-Kare bağımsızlık testi sonucunda Enstitü Tezsiz Yüksek Lisans Fizik Öğretmen Adaylarının öğrenme stilleri ile mezun oldukları üniversite arasında ve Fizik Öğretmen Adaylarının öğrenme stilleri ile baba eğitim düzeyi arasında bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Adayların öğrenme biçimleri ve birleştirilmiş puanlarının Pearson Korelasyon Katsayıları hesaplanmış ve ilişki grafikleri çizilmiştir. İlişkisiz Grup "t" Testleri ve Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizleri (ANOVAs) sonucunda, Yansıtıcı Gözlem öğrenme biçimi için yarıyıl, mezun olunan üniversite ve baba eğitim düzeyi değişkenlerine göre; Somut-Soyut birleştirilmiş puanı için sınıftaki başarı durumu değişkenine göre öğrenme biçimlerinden elde edilen puanların ve birleştirilmiş puanların istatistiksel açıdan farklılaştığı bulunmuş (p<0,05), varyans analizini tamamlayıcı LSD testleri yapılmıştır. Öğrenme Biçimleri ve Öğrenme Biçimlerine ait dersi öğrenme motivasyonu ve ders çalışma stili arasındaki korelasyon katsayıları hesaplanmış; Somut Yaşantı ve Soyut Kavramsallaştırma öğrenme biçimleri için korelasyon tespit edildiğinden, Regresyon Analizleri yapılmıştır. Fizik Öğretmen Adaylarının daha ziyade Ayrıştıran ve Yerleştiren öğrenme stili baskın olduğu bulunmuş ve öğrenme stillerine göre işlenen derslerle daha verimli çalışmaların elde edilebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır.

In the investigation, Marmara University Atatürk Education Faculty Physics Teaching graduate non thesis and the Institute of Educational Sciences Physics Teaching graduate non thesis students (n=100) of 2002-2003 academic year were applied Learning Styles Inventory developed by David A. Kolb. The aim of this study is to investigate whether learning styles for interns in physics education change according to demoghraphic characteristics as gender, program, term, graduation chance. With this purpose, various sub problems were tried to solve and statistical analysis were done. Reliability Analysis were done for the scores that obtained from interns' answers to Kolb Learning Style Inventory in Statistical Computer Package Program. Descriptive Statistical Analysis were done and it has been seen that physics teacher interns take almost maximum score from Abstract Conceptualization. Frequency and percentage dispersion were done and most of physics teacher interns as 43 % prefered Converging learning style and 34 % of interns prefered Accommadating learning style. Students that have Assimilating learning style is 12 % and students that have Diverging learning style is 11 %. Crosstabs were formed and dispersion of learning styles to demographic characteristics were presented. As the result of chi-square independent test, it was found that there were relation between learning styles of institute non thesis graduate interns and graduation university and between learning styles of non thesis graduate interns and father graduation level in physics education. For learning styles and combined scores of interns, Perason Correlation Coefficients were calculated and correlation graphics were drawn. As the result of non relation group "t" tests, According to variables of term, graduation university and father graduation level for Reflective Observation; according to variables of success level in class for Concrete-Abstract conbined score, it was found out that there were statistically significant differences (p<0,05) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVAs), complementary variance analysis LSD tests were done. Correlation coefficients between learning styles and motivation of learning lesson and style of studying lesson for learning styles was calculated; Regression Analysis was done for Concrete Experience and Abstract Conceptualization learning styles because of the correlation. It was found out that physics teacher interns had mostly dominant Converging and Accommadating learning style and it was also determined that more efficient studies cold obtain as doing lesson according to learning styles.

Debittering of Olives by Semi Drying

It was reported that oleuropein content and bitterness of olives could be reduced with reduction of water content to 15-20% by drying after pretreatment such as keeping in brine, soaking, dry salt folding, drilling and/or drawing. Black table olives have been produced with a traditional method in the name of 'Ferrandina' in Italy during many years. As a result of industry adaptation work of the 'Ferrandina' method, 'Sybaris' method was developed. But researchers reported that industrial production of table olives by drying could not be grown up. In this review, researches on the debittering method of olives by partial drying after pretreatment as a development of new table olive processing method were presented.</span

3D gradient auxetic soft mechanical metamaterials fabricated by additive manufacturing

Materials with a negative Poisson's ratio, also known as auxetics, have attracted a lot attention as they have shown innovation potential in applications for energy damping, modern fasteners, biomedical implants, piezoelectric sensors, and soft actuators. In this study, we introduce different patterns of graded distribution of unit cells with positive and negative Poisson's ratio in tubular configurations. Seven types of patterns are programmed into the fabric of the metamaterial to create desired shape changes upon applying far-field external loads. Two of the patterns demonstrate near-zero Poisson's ratio even at axial strains as high as 44%. Other pattern distributions convert the initially cylindrical shape of the tubes to vase, barrel, hourglass, nonsymmetrical vase, and nonsymmetrical hourglass geometries. The experimental Poisson's ratio values for the linear negative-to-positive-to-negative gradient (resulting in hourglass shape) and linear positive-to-negative-to-positive gradient (resulting in barrel shape) cases are +0.53 and -0.47, respectively. The measured Poisson's ratio values at tube level are in good accordance with the analytical values of +0.5 and -0.5. Benefits of the proposed designs in applications such as action-at-a-distance actuators and wrinkle-free jointless hinges in both 3D and 2D configurations are demonstrated. Novel Aerospace Material

Evaluation of Clinical Characteristics, Laboratory, Radiological Findings and Outcomes of Hospitalized Children with Coronavirus Disease 2019

ABSTRACTObjective: We assessed our knowledge about the epidemiological, clinical characteristics, laboratory/radiological findings, and outcomes of hospitalized children with COVID-19. Materials and Methods: This retrospective single-center study was conducted on 54 children with COVID-19 who were hospitalized from March 16, 2020, to April 26, 2020, in the Pediatric Department at Sancaktepe Training &amp;Research Hospital Istanbul, Turkey. Results: The median age of our patients was 121.5 months (range 1-214 months), of the 54 hospitalized children, 48.1% (n=26) were female, and 51.9% (n=28) were male. The most common symptom was cough (n=24, 44.4%). The median duration of hospitalization was five days (range 1-13 days). According to the PCR test results, 24 (44.4%) patients were positive, and 30 (55.6%) were negative. Among 54 children, white-cell count (WBC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) were significantly lower, and CRP levels were significantly higher in PCR negative patients. Computed tomography was performed in 26 children, and 19 (73.1%) CT scans were consistent with classic/probable/indeterminate COVID-19 predominant patterns. Oxygen requirement was significantly higher in our PCR negative patients. Conclusion: As a result of the low sensitivity of PCR test results, clinicians should consider clinical signs and symptoms in deciding on the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19.
