Activities, which are defined as activities that support students’ mathematical learning and increase their levels of mathematic learning, enable the individual to be active by mentally and physically engaging in an action, to establish a cause-effect relationship, and to satisfy his/her curiosity. In this respect, activities have an important effect on the attitude towards mathematics. For this reason, it was aimed to examine the math activity preparation processes of pre-school primary teachers in the current study. To this end, the study was designed in accordance with the case study design, one of the qualitative research methods. In the analysis of the collected data, content analysis was employed. As a result of the study, it was found that the pre-service teachers prepared the activities themselves, they used books and the internet during the development process, and they prepared the activities for the introduction and ending sections of the lesson. In addition, it was observed that while preparing the activity, they considered its suitability for the level of the students and for the purpose of the lesson, they did not take into account individual differences while preparing the activities, and they made use of daily life examples in the activities. The pre-service teachers stated that they had difficulties in preparing activities suitable for the level of the students and stated that they did not consider themselves adequate in preparing activities. Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on improving the skills of developing activities suitable for primary school mathematics lessons in teacher training faculties.

Data Content

The present study investigated constraints faced by chemistry teaching and learning. It also suggested possible solutions for addressing the identified constraints. A total sample of 138 respondents including 125 students in chemistry combinations, 10 chemistry teachers and 3 directors of study were chosen purposefully to participate in this study. A qualitative research method using case study design was employed to gather necessary data. Content and thematic analysis methods were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that abstract nature of some chemistry concepts, lack of laboratory apparatus and chemicals, lack of laboratory technician to support chemistry teachers are major constraints faced by teaching and learning of chemistry. This study suggested that government and educational stakeholders should supply adequate chemicals and apparatus, chemistry teachers must use hands-on activities and video simulations to concretize chemistry concepts. Chemistry teachers should also motivate learners to enjoy chemistry to reduce negative attitude of students towards chemistry. Lastly the recruitment of laboratory attendants was also suggested as a major strategy to support chemistry teachers in preparation of chemistry practices.

Abstract: Malocclusion can trigger various health problems in the oral cavity. The simplest form of malocclusion is individual dental malposition which can be corrected by removable orthodontic appliances with active components T-springs made of 0.5 mm or 0.6 mm wire dimensions. This study was aimed to compare the effectiveness of the T-spring with wire dimensions of 0.5 mm and of 0.6 mm on the correction of individual dental malpositions. This was a pre-experimental study using a one-shot case study design. Study samples were divided into two groups, T-spring with wire dimensions of 0.5 mm and of 0.6 mm on removable orthodontic appliances attached to typodonts. The samples were activated, and the typodonts were immersed in warm water until the individual tooth malpositions were corrected. The number of activations and the average tooth movement each time the activation were calculated and analyzed. The numbers of T-spring activations with 0.5 mm and 0.6 mm wire dimensions were analyzed with the Mann-Whitney test that showed a p-value of 0.042 (p<0.05). The data of the mean tooth movement each time the T-spring was activated were analyzed with the independent sample t-test that obtained a p value of 0.016 (p<0.05). In conclusion, the T-spring with wire dimension of 0.5 mm is more effective in correcting individual dental malpositions than the T-Spring with wire dimensions of 0.6 mm.Keywords: tooth malposition; removable orthodontics; effectiveness of T-spring Abstrak: Maloklusi dapat memicu berbagai masalah kesehatan pada rongga mulut.

In this study, it is aimed to analyse, evaluate and define the Turkish and English communication skills and vocabulary levels of a bilingual Turkish child. According to Houwer (2007), although they are grown in a bilingual environment, in some cases, the process of acquiring two languages is not successful. It is quite interesting why the language skills of children who grew up in similar environments in a natural process such as language acquisition sometimes differ, and why some children are not bilingual while others are. In this study, communication skills in both languages of a child who grew up in a bilingual home environment and successfully learned both Turkish and English, were examined and receptive language levels in both languages were defined. Within the scope of the research, the language development process and the vocabulary levels in the two languages are assumed to be in the normal development characteristics of the individual and similar qualities with his peers. The child lives in Turkey in a big city. This study sought to answer the following questions: 1. How is the productive language level of the individual who grew up bilingual? a) How is the child's productive language ability in English? b) How is the child's productive language ability in Turkish? 2. How is the receptive language level of the individual who grew up bilingual? a) How is the English receptive language level? b) How is the Turkish receptive language level? <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0746/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
