Item Investigating Problem-Solving Behaviours Of University Students Through An Eye-Tracking System Using Geogebra In Geometry: A Case Study(Başkent Üniversitesi Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, 2024-08) Turkoglu, Hacer; Yalcinalp, SerpilProblem solving is one of the high-level thinking skills and essential in teaching mathematical concepts and procedures. The eye-tracking method allows educators to see and interpret different problem-solving behaviours of students. The purpose of this study was to investigate the problem-solving behaviours of university students based on eye tracking statistics when faced with a geometry problem, and to explain these behaviours in terms of the students' success and learning styles. The research design was a case study approach that combined quantitative and qualitative data. Eight first-year students from the department of elementary mathematics education in a private University, Turkey, participated in this study. They were asked to solve a specific geometry question using the GeoGebra software. While solving this question, their eye movements were recorded and analysed using an eye-tracking program. Results were analysed to investigate their problem-solving skills and behaviours based on Polya's mathematical problem-solving stages. Results of the study suggest that the effort devoted to the understanding and planning stages of problem-solving are important factors that contribute to success in this case. Results also revealed that participated students with a converger learning style were more successful in each step of the problem-solving process. Additionally, it could be concluded that the input area had only been used by converger students, indicating that they devoted time and effort to creating and trying formulas.Item Investigating Problem-Solving Behaviours Of University Students Through An Eye-Tracking System Using Geogebra In Geometry: A Case Study(EDUCATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES, 2024-02-15) Turkoglu, Hacer; Yalcinalp, SerpilProblem solving is one of the high-level thinking skills and essential in teaching mathematical concepts and procedures.

To this end, this case study employed a mixed -method design to explore data from 70 student teachers, nine graduates, and six teacher educators through surveys and interviews. We observed that the student teachers perceive themselves as competent in designing, conducting, and reporting research, and their competence was also acknowledged by the graduates and teacher educators. All the participants highlighted the importance of research for teachers; however, some had reservations. They found the context too academically oriented and emphasized the need to introduce the inherent link between teaching and research, which seemed to be obscure especially for the student teachers. We conclude that introducing action research early on is an ideal way to address and embrace all the diverse perceptions, orientations, interests, and motivations about research in initial teacher education.Item Approximation By An Integral Type Apostol-Genocchi Operators(JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS, 2024-08-16) Dalmanoglu, OzgeThe goal of the current paper is to present an integral type FavardSzasz operators including Apostol-Genocchi poynomials. With the help of the moments, we investigate the order of convergence in terms of the first and the second order modulus of continuity and Peetres K- functional. We also examine the convergence in the weighted spaces of functions by means of weighted Korovkin type theorem.Item THE WILD WOMAN ARCHETYPE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF MOTIF CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN "BLUEBEARD" AND THE TURKISH FAIRY TALE "İĞCİ BABA"(FOLKLORE-ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF FOLKLORE, 2024-09-12) Demir, AhmetGiven that myths and tales are living and memory areas of archetypes, in this study the French tale "Bluebeard" and the Turkish fairy tale "& Idot;& gbreve;ci Baba" are compared both in terms of the wild woman archetype and the motif correspondence based on this archetype. In this respect, two tales are analysed based on archetypal criticism. Moreover, archetypal criticism paves the way for imagery analysis by making it possible to see the collective, universal, and archetypal image of women to be seen through the motif correspondence associated with the wild woman archetype. The correspondence of motifs based on the wild woman archetype makes it possible to compare "Bluebeard" and "& Idot;& gbreve;ci Baba", which are texts from different geographical regions, cultures, and eras. The wild woman archetype and the motifs in the two tales, such as initiation, the forbidden secret room, the irresistible curiosity and desire to know, and the key, are strikingly similar. The encounter with the wild woman archetype in two texts can be explained by the suprapersonal, supracultural and universal character of the archetypes, and the strong correspondence between the two texts based on similar motifs can be explained by the universality of the fairy tales and supracultural motifs.Item Perceptions of Primary School Teachers on Interdisciplinary Computational Thinking Skills Training(INFORMATICS IN EDUCATION, 2024-10-02) Cimsir, Serap; Kalelioglu, Filiz; Gulbahar, YaseminThis study aims to examine the impact of interdisciplinary computational thinking (CT) skills training on primary school teachers' perceptions of CT skills. The sample of the study consisted of 30 primary school teachers in Istanbul. In this study, where quantitative and qualitative methods were used together, qualitative data were obtained from the teacher identification form. Quantitative data were obtained from the scale for CT skills. After the pretest was applied to the study group, "CT Skills Training" was applied. During the training, the basic concepts of CT skills and the subskills were covered theoretically and practically. From the quantitative data, the education applied was determined to have had a positive effect on the primary school teachers' perceptions of CT skills. From the qualitative data, it was determined that the participants had a positive opinion about the applied training and thought that they gained skills related to CT.Item Coeffiinicet Problems For A Certain Subclass Of Analytic And Univalent Functions(TURKISH JOURNAL OF MATHEMATICS, 2024-11-26) Altintas, Osman; Mustafa, NizamiIn the present work, some new subclasses of analytic and univalent functions are introduced and some geometric properties such as coefficient estimates problem are studied for them. Furthermore, we show that our results are generalization for some earlier work in the literature and we show this by comparing ours with those related.Item Analyzing Ahmet Umit's Bir Ask Masalı Through Campbell's Monomyth Theory(FOLKLOR/EDEBIYAT-FOLKLORE/LITERATURE, 2024-11-26) Gulveren, Ozlem BayFairy tales, which have survived from generation to generation in oral culture and have been reintroduced with the transition to written culture, continue to hold their place and importance in contemporary literature. Today's writers create modern narratives, which we can call literary fairy tales- though definitions may vary-, by utilizing the form and content characteristics of fairy tales and the possibilities they offer. In this text-immanent study, I examined Ahmet Omit's work Bir A & scedil;k Masal & imath; as an example of contemporary narratives, due to its inclusion of elements of fairy tales and mythology, within the framework of Joseph Campbell's Monomyth Theory, which he outlined in his work The Hero with a Thousand Faces and can be summarized under the headings of "Departure-Initiation-Return". In the article, I first provided brief information about fairy tales, traditional folk tales, and literary fairy tales, and then attempted to summarize Campbell's Monomyth Theory in connection with Jung's concept of "archetype". In the analysis section, I evaluated the content of the tale under the headings of "Departure", "Initiation", and "Return" respectively. As a result of my examination, I found that the enchanting narrative created by Ahmet Omit aligns with the main headings of Campbell's Monomyth Theory but does not fully meet some subheadings and shifts others to different stages of the cycle. In the modern tale I examined, I find it noteworthy that the cycle Campbell presented is not completed, and the heroes fail to achieve any subheading of the return stage. The author chose to make each of the heroes, who embarked on a journey in search of true love and completed the initial stages of the cycle, fail in the final stages for the same reason. The characters who have not managed to detach themselves from their egos cannot be expected to "become heroes." It would not be inaccurate to assert that the author has created anti-heroes, divergent from the conventional heroes found in traditional fairy tales. In this modern tale, the story of traditional fairy tale heroes who return home with the ultimate reward after maturing has been replaced by the story of heroes who, moving in the opposite direction, succumb to their ambitions and will never return home.Item Stress and Coping Experiences of Turkish University Students During COVID-19: A Qualitative Study(PSYCHOLOGY IN THE SCHOOLS, 2024-12) Araci-Iyiaydin, Aysegul; Cok, Figen; Altunay-Yilmaz, Hilal; Atay, Safak; Serttas, Sebnem YagmurThe present qualitative study aims to reveal the lived experiences of 20 Turkish university students (10 male, 10 female) regarding their stress factors and how they coped with challenges faced during the first 3 months of the lockdown period amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants, aged between 19 and 24, were recruited from different state and private universities employing convenience and snowball sampling methods. Grounded in a descriptive phenomenological approach, inductive content analysis (ICS) was employed. The data were collected via in-depth interviews in May 2020, and analyzed by using Nvivo. The findings showed that the experiences of the participants gathered around five main themes namely, general impact on daily life, impact on various life domains, coping strategies, contributions, and post-pandemic future. Participants reported their concerns regarding disruptions in daily life and routines caused by precautionary measures, and their expectations as to post-pandemic life as well. Various adaptive also maladaptive coping strategies were adopted. Notably, participants appraised the pandemic process as an improving experience attributing this to having more spare time for themselves and an increase in their self-awareness. Findings are discussed in light of the available literature.Item The Fallen Adams: An Intertextual Analysis on Frankenstein and Yaratılan(LITERA-JOURNAL OF LANGUAGE LITERATURE AND CULTURE STUDIES, 2024) Ustun Kaya, SenemFrankenstein (1818), written by Mary Shelley, has been relentlessly adapted for all forms of art since it was written. One such form is a recent television drama series that has re-envisioned Frankenstein for a Turkish audiences. To this end, this paper examines an intertextual analysis of the dialogical relations between a literary text and its adaptation into a television series, with a focus on the fidelity approach in adaptation studies and the premise that all modifications are essentially rewritings in which the original content may be remade and recontextualized. Within this scope, the Turkish adaptation of Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) into a Netflix series as Yarat & imath;lan (Created) (2023) by & Ccedil;a & gbreve;an Irmak is analysed to present to what extent the hypertext recalls and mirrors the hypotext, regarding the "fidelity criticism"in adaptation studies. Although the novel involves the societal, historical, and ideological issues of the 19th-century British culture, it is proper to claim that Irmak not only ingeniously conveys Shelley's messages to the 21st-century Turkish audiences but also provides new perspectives for a popular source material while being "faithful"to the novel.
