This study aimed at analyzing the scientific publications about museum education with regard to bibliometric indicators. The study was carried out as a case study, one of the qualitative research methods. The bibliometric data were taken from the WoS database produced by Clarivate Analytics. An online scanning was performed in WoS database. The scan interval involved the dates between 1975 and April 4, 2020. 359 studies related to the museum education were detected in this scan. It was determined that out of these records, 148 of them (%41,22) were included in education/educational research category. The analyses revealed that the type of publications which was encountered mostly were academic articles with 148 studies. In addition to this, it was found that 109 articles were published in the last five years. This rate exhibits that the educational research about the museum education has gained acceleration in recent years. It was detected in the analyses that a total of 470 different key words were used in 148 articles. Moreover, the analyses revealed that the most effective journal was "Journal of Museum Education". It was determined by the analyses that the researchers from 25 different countries published articles that made contributions to the field. Within this context, it was found that the most active country was the USA and it was followed by Italy, Canada and England. Turkey is ranked 6 out of 25 countries with 7 publications and this shows that serious contributions are made in this field.
The purpose of this study is to examine scientific publications about Geography Education in terms of bibliometric indicators. Case study method, one of the qualitative research methods, was applied in this study. The scanning range of bibliometric data obtained from the WoS database generated by Clarivate Analytics covers the dates between 1975 and March 2020. The bibliometric analysis technique was conducted in the study. As a result of the analyses, it was revealed that 559 of 64,874,978 studies registered in the WoS database between 1975 and 2020 were the studies related to Geography Education. It was also observed that 196 (35.06%) of these records were in the education / training research category. Through the analyses, it was concluded that the most common type of publication related to Geography Education was the articles with a total number of 196. Moreover, it is seen that approximately 106 of the published articles have been published during the years between 2016 and 2020. This rate indicates that the educational researches related to Geography Education have increased in recent years. In addition, at the end of the analyses, it was comprehended that there are 330 different authors contributing to the related field. It was determined that a total of 535 different keywords were utilized in 196 articles, and the most effective journal was the "Journal of Geography and Environmental Education". Besides, it is observed that the researchers from 25 different countries have published some articles that contribute to the field. In this regard, the most active country is the United States, and it is respectively followed by Britain, Australia, and Turkey. That Turkey with 18 articles takes place at the 4 th rank among the 25 different countries indicates that some comprehensive studies related to this field are carried out.
Science centres which have a considerable importance and functions in developed countries are intended to be popularized in Turkey. At this point considering the fact that the first contact between science centres and visitors is usually provided with websites, it is quite important that the content of these websites should be designed and developed to meet the needs of the visitors. From this point of view, the aim of this study is to examine the websites of the science centres in Turkey and to reveal at what level they meet the needs of the visitors. The research study was carried out via descriptive survey method and between September 14 and September 18, 2015 the key word "science centre" was searched on Google. Out of the science centres found, twelve science centres were included in the study. During the process of analysis of the documents obtained, two researchers examined every single data on the website separately and then they combined and tabulated them. Within this context, four main titles were obtained: a) information and news b) activities and the documents, c) Visuals, and d) Contact, Appointment, and Booking. At the end of the study, it was determined that under some circumstances the websites of the science centres were useful, where as they were inadequate under some conditions.
Bu çalışmanın amacı Tarih Eğitimi ile ilgili yapılmış olan bilimsel makalelerin bibliyometrik göstergeler açısından incelemektir. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan betimsel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Bibliyometrik veriler Clarivate Analytics tarafından üretilen WoS veri tabanından alınmıştır ve tarama aralığı 1975-21 Nisan 2020 tarihleri arasını kapsamaktadır. Çalışmada bibliyometrik analiz tekniği uygulanmıştır. Yapılan analizlerde 1975-Nisan 2020 yılları arasında WoS veri tabanında kayıtlı 65.305.995 çalışmadan 852’sinin Tarih Eğitimi ile ilgili çalışmalar olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu kayıtlardan 390 (%45,77) tanesinin eğitim/eğitim araştırmaları kategorisinde yer aldığı görülmüştür. Yapılan analizlerde Tarih Eğitimi ile ilgili en çok karşılaşılan yayın türünün 334 çalışma ile makale olduğu görülmüştür. Bununla birlikte yayınlanan makalelerin yaklaşık 201 (%60,17) tanesinin 2016-Nisan 2020 yılları arasında yayınlandığı belirlenmiştir. Bu oran Tarih Eğitimi ile ilgili eğitim araştırmalarının son yıllarda artma trendinde olduğunu göstermektedir. Yine yapılan analizlerde alana katkı sağlayan 424 farklı yazar olduğu görülmüştür. 334 makalede toplam 734 farklı anahtar kelime kullanıldığı ve en etkin derginin “Journal of Curriculum Studies” dergisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca 38 farklı ülkeden araştırmacıların alana katkı sağlayan makaleler yayınladıkları görülmüştür. Bu kapsamda en aktif ülkenin Amerika Birleşik Devletleri olduğu, bunu sırasıyla İngiltere, İspanya ve Kanada’nın izlediği görülmüştür. Türkiye’nin 17 makale ile 7. sırada yer alması bu alanla ilgili ciddi çalışmalar yapıldığını göstermektedir.
Bu araştırmanın amacı, Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi 5., 6. ve 7. Sınıf Öğretim Programında yer alan ve geliştirme-pekiştirme düzeyinde öğrencilere verilen "kronoloji" kavramının sekizinci sınıf öğrencileri tarafından nasıl algılandığını incelemektir. Olgu bilim deseninde gerçekleştirilen araştırmada doküman analizi, mecazlar yoluyla veri toplama formları ve yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme birlikte kullanılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde ve yorumlanmasında içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 693 sekizinci sınıf öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda; alt, orta ve üst gelişmişlik düzey farkı gözetilmeksizin katılımcıların büyük çoğunluğu kronoloji kavramını "önemli tarihi bilgileri sıralayıcı, kolaylaştırıcı, tarihi film şeridi, tarihin haritası", "belli bir düzende tasarımlanan, netleştiren ve anlamayı kolaylaştıran, önemli bilgiler içeren bir tarih takvimi" ve "tarihi anlamayı ve öğrenmeyi kolaylaştıran bir rehber, önemli tarihi bilgilerin kısa bir özeti ve önemli tarihlerin çekilmiş bir fotoğrafı" olarak algılarken orta ve üst gelişmişlik düzeydeki katılımcıların "tarihi olayların izlediği süreci gösteren, dallanıp budaklanabilen bir tarih ağacı" olarak algıladıkları görülmüştür.
