This study aims to examine the evolution and transformation of instructional methods in Turkish Language Curricula between 1926 and 2024. Utilizing a qualitative research design within the framework of the document analysis method, the study analyzes primary and secondary level Turkish language curricula published in the years 1926, 1929, 1930, 1936, 1948, 1962, 1968, 1998, 2005, 2009, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2024. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive analysis, a qualitative data analysis technique. Findings indicate that significant changes have occurred over time in the four fundamental components of the Turkish Language Curriculum, reflecting the broader shifts in educational philosophy and methodology since the foundation of the Republic. Among these changes, the most notable transformation took place in 2005 with the paradigm shift from a behaviorist to a constructivist approach. This shift marked a move toward a student-centered and interactive learning environment. The study highlights the key milestones in the historical development of Turkish Language Curricula and underscores the evolving nature of instructional methods. These findings offer valuable insights into the pedagogical and philosophical transitions that have shaped language education in Türkiye.

The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable astronomy attitude scale for secondary school students. The method of this research is a scale development study. The study group of the research consists of 300 students studying in 3 different secondary schools in Turkey in the first semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. A 32-item 5-point Likert-type scale was prepared with the data collected from the experts. In the first stage, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted within the scope of validity analysis for the scale whose reliability value was calculated at a "very good" level. In the EFA stage, a total of 12 items with high loading values in more than one factor were removed from the scale due to overlapping, and the explained variance of the 3-factor 20-item scale was found to be 53.704%. In the confirmatory factor analysis stage, the model fit of the 20 items with three factors determined in the EFA stage was tested with the SPSS AMOS programme. At this stage, one more item with low standardized loadings was removed from the scale and model fit values were calculated as χ2 /sd=1,907; GFI=,913; CFI=,941; NFI=,885; RMSEA=,055 and it was determined that the model showed "acceptable" and "excellent" fit. Cronbach's Alpha values were calculated as 0.914 for the whole scale. As a result of the construct validity and reliability analyses of the scale, the values found in the analyses showed that the astronomy attitude scale is a valid and reliable scale for secondary school students.

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and efficiency of the model-lead-test (MLT) and video modeling (VM) methods in teaching individuals with ID how to access and use the services provided by the Turkish state in digital environments. Four individuals participated in the study, in which the adapted alternating treatments design, one of the single-subject research designs, was used. Both methods were effective in ensuring that participants acquired digital citizenship skills. The findings showed that both interventions were equally effective for three participants and VM was slightly more effective for one participant. MLT was more efficient for all participants in terms of the number of sessions and the duration of instruction. It was recorded that non-targeted information presentation regarding digital citizenship elements increased participants’ knowledge levels. The participants and their parents expressed positive opinions about the study’s social validity.

This study aims to identify the correlations between emergency and disaster management students’ levels of anxiety about unemployment and the sub-factors of it and their life satisfaction. The study, which was conducted by using the quantitative research method, is in relational survey model. The research sample was composed of emergency and disaster management students in the Faculty of Health Sciences of Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in 2022-2023 academic year. It was impossible to reach all the students in the research population due to time restrictions and the circumstances, and therefore, 178 of the students in the population were included in the study. The research data were collected through the “Unemployment Anxiety Scale” and the “Life Satisfaction Scale”. In addition to that, the “Demographic Information Form” developed by the researcher was also given to the participants. It was found on looking at the results that the students’ levels of anxiety about unemployment in general were high. The students’ general anxiety about unemployment and its sub-factors and their life satisfaction were found to differ significantly according to their grade level, level of income and according to their current place of accommodation. Thus, their anxiety about unemployment and its sub-factors were found to be significantly and inversely related with their life satisfaction.
