<p>This study aimed to determine the effect of concept mapping as a learning strategy in science classes on students’ academic achievement and attitude. The research employed a randomized pre-test post-test control group design. Data collected from 60 sixth grade students participated in the study from a randomly selected secondary school in Turkey. During a 5-weeks period, the experimental group students (N=30) used the paper based concept mapping method while the control group students (N=30) were taught with the traditional approach according to the science and technology education curriculum for light and sound subject. Both groups were taught by the same teacher who is experienced using concept mapping in science classes. The data were collected by science achievement test, science attitude scale and personal information form. The reliability coefficient of the achievement test was KR-20=0,76 and Cronbach’s Alpha of the attitude scale was 0,89. SPSS statistical software was used to analyze the data. According to the results, there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group for academic achievement but not for attitude. The experimental group had significantly greater gains from academic achievement test than the control group (t=2,9; p&lt;0,05). On the other hand, experimental group didn’t have significantly better results for attitude scale than the control group (t=0,42, p&gt;0,05).  The findings showed that the paper-and-pencil concept mapping can be used as an effective method for students’ academic achievement in science classes.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Özet</strong></p><p>eğitiminde kavram haritaları oluşturma uygulamasının altıncı sınıf öğrencilerinin akademik başarılarına ve derse yönelik tutumlarına etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.

The aim of this study is to determine effects of the project-based learning approaches on Social Skills, Academic achievements and Problem Behaviors of students studying at 3rd grade primary school with Mild Intellectual Disability (MID) in sciences course. The participants of the research consisted of 10 students in Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University from the Faculty of Education Integration Unit Pupa in 3rd grade. In the study, pretest-posttest design, one group of pre-trial model, was used. To the students at the study, The Social Skills Rating System (SSRS) developed by Gresham and Elliot (1990) pretest - posttest was applied. SSRS, social skills and behavior problems that are considered to be associated with these skills of preschool and elementary school students was developed in order to determine their academic qualifications. In SSRS, there are three separate scales: Social Skill Scale, problem behavior subscale and academic achievement scale. To the students in the study, “I and my environment” topic was tauhgt with Project Based Learning Approach (PBLA) for 3 weeks, and the significance of the scores obtained by applying the scale before and after the course was examined. The data were analyzed by using rank test signed non-parametric Wilcoxon on SPSS 16.0 software.  At the end of the study, while there was a significant relationship between the scores of the participants’ social skills based on the project-based learning approach, there was no significant correlation between problematic behavior scores. Furthermore there was also a significant difference between the scores of participants’ academic competence. As a result, it can be said that the course tauhgt with PBLA improves social skills and academic achievement of students with MID. Despite the decrease in the problematic behavior scores of the students, no significance was observed. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, fen bilimleri dersinde proje tabanlı öğrenme yaklaşımının ilkokul üçüncü sınıfta öğrenim görmekte olan hafif düzeyde zihinsel engele sahip öğrencilerin sosyal becerilerine, akademik başarılarına ve problem davranışlarına olan etkisini tespit etmektir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını, Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Pupa Öğrenci Entegrasyon Birimi’ne gelen hafif düzeyde zihinsel engele sahip 10 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada deneme öncesi modellerden tek grup ön test son test deseni kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada öğrencilere Gresham ve Elliot (1990) tarafından geliştirilen, Özok ve Sucuoğlu’nun Türkçe’ye uyarladığı Sosyal Beceri Derecelendirme Sistemi (SBDS) öntest–sontest olarak uygulanmıştır. SBDS, okul öncesi ve ilköğretim öğrencilerinin sosyal becerileri ve bu becerilerle ilişkili olduğu kabul edilen davranış problemleri ile akademik yeterliliklerini belirlemek amacıyla geliştirilmiştir. Sosyal beceri dereceleme sisteminde üç ayrı ölçek bulunmaktadır: Sosyal beceri ölçeği, problem davranış alt ölçeği ve akademik yeterlilik ölçeği. Çalışmada öğrencilere üçüncü sınıf fen bilimleri dersinin “Ben ve Çevrem” konusu proje tabanlı öğrenme yaklaşımı ile 3 hafta boyunca işlenmiş ders öncesinde ve sonrasında ölçek uygulanarak elde edilen puanlar arasındaki anlamlılığa bakılmıştır. Puanlar SPSS 16.0 programında non-parametrik Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testi kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma sonunda proje tabanlı öğrenme yaklaşımı ile işlenen ders neticesinde katılımcıların sosyal becerilerinin puanlarının arasında anlamlılık bulunurken, problem davranış puanları arasında anlamlılık bulunamamıştır. Ayrıca katılımcıların akademik yeterliliklerine ilişkin puanlarının arasında da anlamlılık görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak proje tabanlı öğrenme yaklaşımın hafif düzeyde zihinsel engele sahip öğrencilerin sosyal becerilerine ve akademik yeterliklerine olumlu katkısının olduğu söylenebilir. Öğrencilerin problem davranış puanlarında ise azalma olmasına rağmen anlamlılık bulunmamıştır.

AbstractWitteveen-Kolk syndrome (OMIM 613406) is a recently defined neurodevelopmental syndrome caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in SIN3A. We define the clinical and neurodevelopmental phenotypes related to SIN3A-haploinsufficiency in 28 unreported patients. Patients with SIN3A variants adversely affecting protein function have mild intellectual disability, growth and feeding difficulties. Involvement of a multidisciplinary team including a geneticist, paediatrician and neurologist should be considered in managing these patients. Patients described here were identified through a combination of clinical evaluation and gene matching strategies (GeneMatcher and Decipher). All patients consented to participate in this study. Mean age of this cohort was 8.2 years (17 males, 11 females). Out of 16 patients ≥ 8 years old assessed, eight (50%) had mild intellectual disability (ID), four had moderate ID (22%), and one had severe ID (6%). Four (25%) did not have any cognitive impairment. Other neurological symptoms such as seizures (4/28) and hypotonia (12/28) were common. Behaviour problems were reported in a minority. In patients ≥2 years, three were diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and four with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). We report 27 novel variants and one previously reported variant. 24 were truncating variants; three were missense variants and one large in-frame gain including exons 10–12.
