In today's world, technological devices have started to take an important part in human life. Many studies have determined that technological devices have positive and negative effects on individuals' physical, social-emotional, cognitive, and language development. In parallel with the developments in science and technology, tools such as pens, books, notebooks, and erasers, which used to be popular in the past for children, have been replaced by devices such as tablets, phones, and computers. When examined from this aspect, it can be mentioned that many technology-based devices, which are widely used today, have positive and negative effects on people. Especially in early childhood, the misuse of technological devices can cause undesirable and permanent results. For this reason, families and stakeholders in the education process should provide awareness of the prevention of technology addiction. Illustrated children's books are one of the most important tools that parents and educators can use to convey accurate information to children. With the help of illustrated children's books, how and how long technological devices will be benefited, and problems that may arise in their misuse can be conveyed to children in accordance with their developmental levels. This situation reveals the requirement for the content and the way of conveying the content of illustrated children's books related to technology addiction to be correct. In parallel with this information, the study aimed to examine the content of illustrated children's books on technology addiction for the preschool period. The qualitative research method was used in the research. The study group was determined by the criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods. Accordingly, the study group consisted of 15 illustrated children's books that are still in print and accessible to researchers. Illustrated children's books were examined by document analysis method. The books were analyzed using descriptive analysis technique and content analysis technique. As a result of the study, it was observed that the illustrated children's books examined did not contain enough content about the dangers that might be encountered in the internet environment which children are frequently exposed to, and some of the suggested solutions for technology addiction are considered appropriate, but not presented sufficiently. As in other books, illustrated children's books on technology addiction should be written according to the child's developmental characteristics, and an information note for families and information about the age group that the book addresses should be included for guidance. Besides, in these children's books, judgments that create anxiety, stress, and fear and blame the family or the child should be avoided.
In this research, it is aimed to examine the graduate theses done about flipped classroom model in Turkey according to some variables. The data of this descriptive study which was conducted by a qualitative research approach was obtained from 105 master's and doctoral theses accessed from CoHE National Thesis Center database. The data were collected through document analysis and the data were analyzed by content analysis technique. According to the findings, it is determined that the theses were mostly done in 2019, most of the theses were made at Gazi University, the number of master's theses was more numerous, the studies conducted to examine the effect of flipped classroom model applications on various variables predominate, the model is mostly called as "Flipped classroom model" as in this study and mostly preferred in foreign language education, and in the part where the model is applied at home the most preferred online software is Edmodo. In addition, it was determined that mostly mixed methods were preferred as the research method, university students as sample group, interview form/questions as data collection tool, and "t test" in data analysis. At the end of the research, suggestions were made for researchers and for practitioners.

This qualitative case study was carried out to identify the strengths and weaknesses of face to face and online teaching. The study group of the research study consisted of a total of 47 students attending a public university, 36 of whom are female and 11 of whom are male students. In the study, semi-structured interview form was used as the data collection tool. The data obtained within the scope of the research were analyzed by means of content analysis. When the findings were evaluated in general, it was seen that students mostly prefer face to face teaching. Besides it was also seen that both online and face to face teaching have strengths and weaknesses relative to each other. However, it has emerged that face to face teaching has more strengths than online learning. Although this view comes into prominence, online applications which are one of the important tools of accessing information in today's conditions, should also be used in the learning and teaching process. Especially in situations where face to face teaching is not available, online applications can be used as an important tool in order to establish the communication link between the learner and teacher and also to maintain learning.
