Spatial thinking skills are competencies individuals will need in their lives in order to know and understand the world and to perceive the space correctly. In order for individuals to have these competencies, effective traning in the development of spatial thinking skills should occur. Spatial thinking skills can be acquired through student-centered, active learning and orienteering activities, all of which can be applied in lessons as a type of game instead of through traditional teaching methods and techniques. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of spatial thinking skills on the orienteering practices of students' in primary school Grade 4 Social Studies course. The study group consists of a total of 104 students: 51 students are in the experimental group and 53 students are in the control group. All participants are in Grade 4 at a primary school in Merkez district of Kastamonu province in Turkey during the 2019-2020 academic year. Lessons were taught with activities based on orienteering practices in the experimental group, and curriculum-based instruction was conducted in the control group. In the research, one of the quantitative research methods was used as a quasi-experimental model with a pretest-posttest control group. The Spatial Thinking Skill Test (STSS) developed by the researcher was used as the data collection tool. As a result of the research, it was concluded that orienteering practices are effective in developing students' spatial thinking skills. Orienteering is recommended to be used as a teaching technique in Social Studies lessons because it is an entertaining activity that enables learning by doing, the development of multi-faceted thinking, and the transference of spatial thinking skills to daily life.

For this purpose, this study was designed with relational screening model from quantitative research approaches. 40 volunteer athletes, 14 of which were female and 26 of them were male, were included in this study group. It was analyzed by Paired Samples t test whether the pre-test and post-test scores which the athletes participating in the study got from the d2 attention test were different. There was a significant difference among the applications in all scores of the d2 test (p <0.05). When the averages of the scores were examined, it was found by performing test repetitions that selective attention ability, sustainability of attention, high motivation and psychomotor speed (TN) most marked material) didn’t decrease the stability of psychomotor speed and quality of work performed CP (number of correctly marked d2)] d2 numbers [TN- (E1) + (E2)] that were marked incorrectly or weren’t marked. As a result; it was observed with d2 test which is one of the tests used in the field of applied sports psychology to evaluate the visual focusing attention performance of the athletes that the reason of positive differentiation in the attention performances which was obtained after the intensive exercise was intense concentration and the attention levels were high due to the concentration.

This study aims to examine the views of mothers regarding plays and toys which are of great significance also for children with intellectual retardation and learning disability. This study was conducted through a mixed method by using qualitative and quantitative methods together. Seventy-five mothers who participated in the study were chosen by using the purposive sampling method in the first stage and the random sampling method in the second stage. Data were collected through the ‘Play Skills Scale’ and ‘Mother Interview Form’. The quantitative data were analysed through Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis H tests and qualitative data were analysed through content analysis. In the qualitative dimension of the study following themes were found; playing with the child, the toys the child plays with, whether the child has a toy he/she always plays with, and whether giving the child the right to choose when buying toys. For the quantitative dimension of the study significant difference was found between the play skill levels, disability type, giving the child the right to choose when buying toys, and toy type variables.
