- ArticleAçık Erişim2022“Çocuklar, gördüğünüz her sivrisineği öldürünüz!” Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde sıtma ile mücadelede eğitim (1923-1948)
Kandal, Sena Coşğun
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti kurulduğunda ülke sınırları içindeki nüfus, olumsuz sıhhi koşullar ve sıtma başta olmak üzere pek çok bulaşıcı hastalık sebebiyle hızla azalmaktaydı. Bu durum kurucu elitlerin iktisadi, milli ve içtimai hedeflerine uygun değildi. Devletin kurucuları bu durumun bilincinde olarak daha cumhuriyet kurulmadan evvel vilayetlerde sıhhi ve içtimai coğrafya araştırmalarına başlamış ve nüfus meselesini temel politikaları haline getirmişler, nüfusu arttırmak ve sağlıklı kılmak amacıyla milli bir mücadele başlatmışlardı. Kurucular, bu süreçte modernizasyonun ana kanalı olarak gördükleri çocuklara ulaşmanın en etkin yolu olan eğitimi bir araç olarak kullanmışlardı. Yeniden düzenlenen müfredatlar ve bunlara bağlı olarak hazırlanan ders kitapları bu mücadelede önemli bir yer edindi. Bununla birlikte sıtma mücadelesi; hıfzıssıhha, medeni kaidelerin öğretilmesi, batıl itiyatlardan uzaklaşma gibi inkılabın hedeflediği yeni düzenle ilgili meselelerle ilişkilendirilerek modernizasyonun bir yönünü oluşturdu. Bu noktada muallim kilit bir noktaya getirildi ve bilhassa köylerde sıtma ile mücadelede etkin rol oynadı. Mücadele, ortaokul ve liselerden ziyade Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde daha fazla önem verilen ilk mekteplerin müfredatında kendine daha fazla yer buldu. Sıtma mücadelesi, 1923-1948 yılları arasında ilk mektepler için düzenlenen dört müfredat içerisinde en çok 1926 müfredatında yer aldı. Eğitimi yönlendiren elitler, sıtma mücadelesine bu müfredatta yer alan Tabiat Tedkiki, Ziraat, Hıfzıssıhha dersinde değil Musahabat-ı Ahlakiye ve Malumat-ı Vataniye dersinde yer vererek mücadelenin milli ve medeni yönüne vurgu yaptılar. Bununla birlikte sıtma mücadelesinin eğitimdeki görünürlüğü 1948’e kadar giderek azaldı.

Ustun, Ozge Nurlu; Aksoy, Naciye
This study aims to investigate primary school teachers' mathematical gender stereotypes and to discover whether these stereotypes, if any, are reflected on students. The study was designed as a multiphase mixed methods study. Accordingly, in the quantitative and qualitative stages of the study, different sample groups including both fourth-grade teachers and fourth-grade students in Ankara were studied. Teachers' Gender Stereotype Scale toward Mathematics, observation form, Students' Gender Stereotype Questionnaire and Mathematics Achievement Test were sequentially used o collect data. The data were analyzed by Mann Whithey U test and content analysis. Results demonstrate that in comparision to the teacher who has neutral gender related beliefs toward mathematics, the teacher with strong traditional mathematical gender stereotypes favouring their male students. However, results show that students do not internalise their teachers' mathematical gender stereotypes, and, Hense, there is reflection of teachers' gender stereotypes on students' mathematical achievements. By carrying out longitudinal studies, it should be followed at which educational level students begin to acquire such gendered perspectives, which academic fields and professions they choose, and thus the effects of teacher characteristics on students should be revealed more comprehensively.

İbili, Hakan; Özbaş, Mehmet
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of environmental factors such as the technological infrastructure of the school used for educational and administrative processes, physical facilities, economic opportunities, monthly income sources, receiving allowances, intra-school communication status and parent support status upon the technological leadership competencies of school administrators. Relational screening model was used in this study carried out with the quantitative research method. The whole population was accepted as the sample not determining the study sample. The study was carried out with 325 school administrators carrying on their duties in public schools in the city center and districts of Erzincan in 2020-2021 academic year. Among the school administrators, 166 (51.1%) were directors and 159 (48.9%) were vice directors. In the study, "Technology Leadership Competencies Scale for Education Administrators," and "Environmental Factor Form" and "Personal Information Form" developed by the researcher were used as data collection tools. Dummy coding was performed on environmental variables in order to perform correlation and regression analyzes on environmental factors as the categorical variables. Correlation analysis was performed to determine the relationship between the variables, and regression analysis was employed to determine the level of prediction between two variables. It was determined that there was a positive, low level and statistically significant relationship between the technological infrastructure, physical facilities, economic opportunities and intra-school communication used in educational and administrative processes of the school and the technological leadership competencies. A positive, low and statistically significant relationship was also specified between good parental support to the school and technological leadership competencies. It was also revealed that the environmental factors called "Monthly Income Sources of the School" and "School Allowance" had no effect upon technological leadership competencies. It was determined that technological infrastructure of the school, physical facilities, economic opportunities and school's technological infrastructure used in educational and administrative processes at a quite good level predicted technological leadership competencies. However, it was observed that determined predictive levels had an insufficient effect upon technological leadership competencies.

Purpose: The research was conducted to determine the hand hygiene and mask-wearing behaviors and related factors of secondary school students in the COVID-19 pandemic process. Design and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted between March 02–April 022021 with 1284 students who continued their secondary education in a province in the east of Turkey. The data were collected face-to-face through the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Mask-Wearing Behavior Form, and the Hand Hygiene Behavior Form. Percentage, mean, t-test in independent groups, Mann Whitney U test and Multiple Regression analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Ethical principles were observed at all stages of the study. Results: It was determined that 80.1% of the students used disposable medical masks, 62.1% of their parents chose a mask suitable for the age of the student, and 52.1% used the mask they wore all day long. It was found that 41.4% of the students washed their hands before wearing a mask, and 51.9% after wearing a mask. It was determined that there was a significant relationship between students' mask-wearing behavior and gender, and hand hygiene behavior and gender, grade level, previous training on hand-washing and mask-wearing. As a result of multiple regression analysis, it was found that gender and mother's occupation had a statistically significant effect on mask-wearing behavior, while gender and previous training on mask-wearing had a statistically significant effect on hand-washing behavior. Conclusions/practice implications: Students exhibited correct behaviors regarding hand hygiene and mask-wearing, but some misbehaviors suggest that training is necessary, especially in the COVID-19 pandemic period.

Dönmez, Onur; Akbulut, Yavuz; Telli, Esra; Kaptan, Miray; Özdemir, İbrahim H.; Erdem, Mukaddes
In the current study, we aimed to develop a reliable and valid scale to address individual cognitive load types. Existing scale development studies involved limited number of items without adequate convergent, discriminant and criterion validity checks. Through a multistep correlational study, we proposed a three-factor scale with 13 items to address intrinsic, extraneous and germane cognitive load in computer-based learning environments. A thorough literature search of cognitive load indicators in the literature was followed by expert panels for content and construct validity. The initial item pool was administered to 236 undergraduate students who watched an instructional video on IP address classes. A multiple-choice achievement test was also implemented after the intervention. The exploratory factor analysis with maximum likelihood explained 58 percent of the variance with factor loads above.49, and internal consistency coefficients above.81. Convergent and discriminant validity indices were acceptable. Besides, achievement was related positively with the germane load and negatively with intrinsic and extraneous load. Fifteen percent of the achievement was explained by the three sources of the cognitive load. Then, the developed factor structure was validated with 193 undergraduate students immediately after they participated in online webinars, and with 99 undergraduate students after they participated in face to face classes. The proposed structure was confirmed in both settings so the scale was considered a reliable and valid indicator of cognitive load in both online and face-to-face learning environments.
