Ensuring that students reach the determined goals of the courses at the desired level is one of the primary goals of teaching. In order to achieve this purpose, educators use a variety of teaching strategies and methods, and teaching materials appropriate to the content and the subject of the courses in the teaching process. As a matter of fact, it is known that the methods and materials that appeal to different sense organs of the students influence the learning process positively. In addition, the use of various teaching methods, techniques and materials in the teaching process both attract students’ attention and save the lesson from boredom, which affects the learning positively. In the process of teaching students sometimes have problems using their theoretical knowledge in real life situations. In this context, various teaching methods are also used for the practicalization of theoretical knowledge in the teaching processes. The case study method is one of the effective methods to achieve this purpose, because the case study method is a teaching method that enables students to acquire the knowledge and skills to deal with the problem they are working on and to produce information-based solutions in real life situations similar to the situations they are working with. In this study, the literature related to the case study method was examined and the application of the method, its history, application types, points to be considered in the application process, advantages of using the method in the teaching process and its limitations and teaching techniques to be used with the method are explained.
Today, the value given to children is increased and with the increased of this value, children's rights has started to appear among the issues that are often raised. In this respect, to teach rights effectively to children is very important from very young age. The aim of this study is to determined preschool teachers' attitudes toward children's rights. Sample of the study consists of 382 teacher candidates who are training in Adıyaman, Kilis 7 Aralık, İnönü, Atatürk, Kafkas, and Muş Alparslan Universities Preschool Education Programme. The study is realized descriptive research approaches, based on the model of survey. As a means of data collection is used "Children's Rights Attitude Scale" The data obtained were analysed by using SPSS program and suggestions were made in accordance with the results. There has been found no significant difference between the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards the child rights according to the variables of class level, educational level of parents, monthly income level of the family and taking the lesson
The objective of this study is to determine students' level of acquisitions on ecology issues in terms of various variables in the 5th, 6th and 7th grades Social Studies Course. In the study carried out by the survey model of quantitative research method, an academic achievement test developed by the researcher was used to collect data. The results of the study indicated that students in the 5th, 6th and 7th Grades have an intermediate level of knowledge about the ecology on Social Studies Course. In terms of variables, it is observed that there are statistically significant differences between girls and boys, between students whose mother and father graduated from high school and all other students and between students living in the city center and those living in rural areas. Moreover, it is determined that there is a significant difference between students whose fathers graduated from primary or secondary school and students whose fathers are just literate, not graduated from any school. It is also determined that there is a difference between students with family income 1501 TL or over and students with family income 0-950 TL.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of digital stories on academic achievement. In order to achieve this purpose, meta analysis method was used in the study. Within the scope of the study, ERIC, Google Academic, YÖK Thesis Center, ProQuest, Science Direct and ULAKBİM databases were scanned and 23 studies (10 theses, 13 articles) were included in the meta-analysis using the criteria determined by the researchers. Cochran’s X2 (Q = 285,155, p < .05) test was conducted to test whether the studies included in the study were heterogeneous. Random effects model was used to calculate effect size since heterogeneity was determined between studies. At the end of the study, it was seen that the general effect size (Hedge’s g = 1.081) regarding the effect of digital stories on academic achievement was strong, that there was a positive effect in all areas according to the lessons which was higher for Science. It was also observed that the effect was positive in all dimensions according to the education level, there was a difference between the education levels and the highest effect occurred at university and middle school levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
