<p style="text-align: justify;">The study's goal was to examine the correlation between the computer programming self-efficacy and computational thinking skills of gifted and talented students. The capacity of the computer programming self-efficacy of gifted and talented students to predict their computational thinking skills were also examined. The relational screening model has been implemented in the research. The participants of the study were composed of 106 secondary school gifted and talented students studying the Individual Ability Recognition Program (IAR) at the Science and Art Center in the city center. Typical case sampling was applied for the student identification of the participants, 46 are female and 60 are male. Gifted and talented students' computational thinking skills were assessed using the "Computational Thinking Skills Scale” and the computer programming self-efficacy was measured by using the "Computer Programming Self-Efficacy Scale". Data were analysed by Pearson correlation analysis and simple linear regression analysis in statistical software SPSS 22. Research results found that there was a positive and high correlation between the computer programming self-efficacy and computational thinking skills. The gifted and talented students' computer programming self-efficacy demonstrated 31.5% of the total variance in computational thinking skills. This finding supports the claim which is present in the literature that self-efficacy in computer programming is the affective aspect of computational thinking skills. To predict computational thinking skills, it may be recommended to build multiple models for cognitive and affective skills of gifted and talented students.</p>

ÖzÇalışmanın amacı, farklı mesleklerde başarılı kişilerin düşünme stilleri ile karar verme stilleri arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymak ve düşünme stilleri ile karar verme stillerini cinsiyet ve meslek grubu değişkenleri açısından incelemektir. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modelinde yürütülmüş olup; çalışma grubu, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kartopu örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 184 kişiden oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak Sternberg-Wagner Düşünme Stilleri Ölçeği (SWDSÖ) ve Melbourne Karar Verme Ölçeği I-II (MKVÖ I-II) kullanılmıştır. Veriler, SPSS 22 programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, farklı mesleklerde başarılı kişilerin düşünme stilleri ve karar verme stilleri arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Mesleğinde başarılı kişilerin düşünme ve karar verme stillerinde, cinsiyet açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı sonuçlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Farklı mesleklerde başarılı kişilerin düşünme stillerinde meslek grubuna göre anlamlı farklar olduğu belirlenmiştir.
STEM approach is an integrated approach based on co-teaching of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The aim of this study is to synthesize the effect of STEM approach on academic achievement and compare the effect size obtained in these studies according to the level of education (primary, secondary, high school, and university), their status of the domestic and foreign study. Meta-analysis method was used the study.In this study, 38 studies in which investigated the effect of STEM education on academic achievement between the years 2012-2018. Their effect size range between -0.107 and 10.567 In the studies examined in the study, it was determined that the effect size of the studies carried out at the primary school level is small and the studies conducted with the primary school group are mostly carried out abroad. Although it was observed that both small and large effect size was encountered in the studies at the secondary and high school level, the medium effect size was limited and university level studies have medium and large effect size. Since the number of studies carried out in our country is limited, especially in primary school level, studies in this level of education may contribute to the literature.
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.
