The present study aims to determine the development of fluency and accuracy skills, which are among the components of speaking, by language instructors in the process of teaching Turkish as a second language. The study was carried out by using a phenomenological design within the framework of the qualitative research approach. The study group consists of 10 language instructors working at Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University TÖMER, Amasya University TÖMER, Uludağ University TÖMER, Kilis 7 Aralık University TÖMER and İnönü University TÖMER. Semi-structured interview form was used in the data collection process. Interview data were analyzed with content analysis. As a result of the study, in line with the views of instructors, it was concluded that learners of Turkish as a second language could not speak fluently and accurately due to their anxiety and that sufficient time was not allocated for fluent and accurate speaking of students due to priorities such as completing the curriculum and finishing the course book. It can also be seen that instructors preferred activities such as role-playing, drama, songs, rhymes, interviews, and storytelling to develop fluent and accurate speaking of learners and they recommended real-life activities, speaking club, karaoke, and drama activities for the future.

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the gender roles attitudes (GRA) and self-esteem of married women. The study has a quantitative study. The 38-item Likert-type Gender Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS), developed by Zeyneloğlu and Terzioğlu (2011), Rosenberg's 10-item Self-Esteem Scale, and the Demographic Questionnaire were used to collect data. The study was conducted with 480 married women. Correlation, regression and ANOVA analyses were performed to analyze the data. The correlation analysis performed to understand the relationship between GRAs and self-esteem revealed a positive and weak relationship between the GRA total score and its sub-dimensions, income and education status, while a weak negative relationship was found between the GRA total score and its sub-dimensions and years of marriage and the number of children. The hierarchical regression analysis carried out to understand the predictive power of GRAS sub-dimensions and demographic characteristics on self-esteem found that two dimensions of GRAS, namely TGR and egalitarian gender roles, significantly and moderately predicted self-esteem of married women in marriage, while the variables of years of marriage, number of children, education status and income were found to predict self-esteem significantly and at a low level. The ANOVA, which was conducted to investigate the relationship between the profession variable and the GRAS, its sub-dimensions and self-esteem, revealed that civil servant women had higher scores on the subdimensions of egalitarian gender roles, Marriage CR, and self-esteem compared to housewives, while their scores on the subdimensions of TGR, FGR, and male GR were found to be lower.

Bu araştırmanın amacı; lise öğrencilerinin yaşlı ayrımcılığına ilişkin tutumlarını anlamaktır. Betimleyici tipteki bu araştırmanın örneklemini 291lise öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama araçları olarak Yaşlı Ayrımcılığı Tutum Ölçeği (YATÖ) ve Öğrenci Bilgi Formu kullanılmıştır. Veriler SPSS for Mac 21(Statistical Package for Social Sciences) programı ile analiz edilmiştir. analizde; ortalama, standart sapma, minimum, maksimum değerler, yüzdelik sayılar, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Anova testi yapılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre; lise öğrencilerinin yaşlı ayrımcılığına yönelik genellikle olumlu tutum sergilediği ve yaşlı ayrımcılığı tutum ölçeği puanları ile öğrencilerin cinsiyet, doğum yeri, en fazla yaşanan yer, anne ve babanın eğitim durumları, büyükanne/büyükbabanın yaşadığı yer değişkenleri arasında anlamlı farklılıkların olduğu tespit edilmiştir (p0.05). Boylamsal bir olgu olarak yaşlığa dönük algının anlaşılmasında ergenlerin tutumları ve bu tutumları belirleyen etmenler önemlidir. Kentleşmeyi modern ve geleneksel unsurlarla birlikte deneyimleyen Malatya kentinde eğitim gören lise öğrencilerinin yaşlı ayrımcılığına yönelik tutumlarının önemli bir temsil olduğu düşünülmektedir.
