Introduction The paper Cullen chart has been a validated adjunct to perimeters in detecting scotomas for various neuro-ophthalmological pathologies for decades. It was digitized into a prototype-app to empower future users to conduct remote monitoring of visual fields. This project aimed to refine the apps' usability for future users to self-assess and monitor their visual fields by exploring the difficulties faced using the app, to gather feedback, and subsequently to improve its usability for future iterations to objectively compare iterations using the MAUQ scores. Methods Participants (n = 15; age: 24-58) recruited through convenience sampling underwent mixed (quantitative and qualitative) methods to measure 1. Participants' adherence to the app instruction through observation, 2. objective experiences of using the app through self-reporting using the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ), and 3. Subjective experience of app using through semi-structured interviews. Descriptive analysis was computed for observation and MAUQ data. Thematic analysis was adopted to analyse the semi-structured interview data. Results 1/15 adhered to 3 written instructions and 8/15 participants had awkward hand movements. The MAUQ median score was 123/147, the MAUQ domain mean scores - ease of use and satisfaction, system information arrangement and usefulness were 81.6%(45.7/56), 80.6%(33.9/42) and 80.2%(39.3/49), respectively. Questions 4, 5, 9, 11 and 19 were the 5 lowest-scoring questions. Qualitative data were categorised into instructions, test, and feedback which had codes and subcodes. Conclusion Feedback for improvements were surrounding central fixation, remembering peripheral stimuli, uncover eye when interacting with peripheral stimuli, video examples, an introduction to the app and audio instructions.

In this study, the relationship between the levels of 5th grade science course exam questions and the 5th class learning outcomes of the science curriculum in the revised Bloom taxonomy was examined. The research was carried out using document analysis method. Since the revised Bloom taxonomy categories were used for the analysis, the data obtained were analyzed with the descriptive analysis technique. The study included 967 science questions and 40 learning outcomes in the 2017-2018 academic year. These questions and learning outcomes were analyzed. At the end of analysis, the relationship between the learning outcomes and exam questions was determined. The inter-rater reliability computing has been made in the analysis of questions-learning outcomes. The reliability co-efficient was calculated .81 for learning outcomes and .77 for questions, indicating an acceptable reliability. According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that the most learning outcomes were in the conceptual knowledge dimension and the most questions were included in the factual knowledge dimension. In the cognitive processes dimension, it was determined that most learning outcomes are at the level of understanding, and the most questions are at the level of remembering. It is understood that 37% of the exam questions are at the level of learning outcomes. In addition, it was determined that there were no questions about some learning outcomes (24%).

A semi-structured interview form was prepared to collect data and the data collected through this semi-structured interview form were analysed by using the descriptive analysis and content analysis techniques. The findings obtained from the analysis of the data revealed that the teachers evaluated the general objectives of RPPS as positive, partially positive and negative. Although they did not receive any in-service training while implementing the program, they did not encounter a general problem, and implemented the program in line with the information given to them. The teachers expressed different opinions about the objectives of the program and generally stated that the program should be started from the second grade onwards. The teachers made different comments on the content of the source book prepared for the program according to different modules and gave positive and negative opinions about its applicability. The teachers arranged the implementation steps according to their own knowledge and experience; they found the school suitable for the place of implementation, but they put forward different opinions about the time of implementation. In addition, the teachers presented various ideas on the basis of their experiences during the implementation. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0772/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The aim of this study is to determine the constraints of bicycle use in the cities and to propose solutions for the subject.The sample of the study was selected by using convenience sampling method. A total of 787 bicycle users (M=30.66, SD=11.18, including 172 women (M=29.08, SD=9.90) and 615 men (M=31.10, SD=11.49), who used bicycles in daily life in the city participated in the research voluntarily. The data were collected with the Bicycle Handicap Scale developed by Balcı et al. (2016). The scale consists of two parts that the personal information form and the participants' expressions about the factors preventing the use of bicycles. In the analysis of the data, t-test was used for the variables consisting of binary groups and one way ANOVA was used for the variables consisting of two groups. In the light of the collected data from the bicycle users participating in the survey; it was determined that the infrastructure deficiencies were the first among bicycle use obstacles. This is followed by lack of laws and regulations, physical and economic inadequacies, socio-cultural structure and individual deficiencies respectively. When participants rated the total score they received from the scale, it has been determined that cyclists have met with moderate contraints.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı kentlerde bisiklet kullanımının önündeki engellerin belirlenmesi ve konu ile ilgili çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Araştırmanın örneklemini kolayda örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak seçilmiştir. Kentlerde gündelik yaşamında bisiklet kullanan 172 kadın (Ort=29.08.±9.90), 615 erkek (Ort=31.10±11.49) olmak üzere toplam 787 bisiklet kullanıcısı (Ort=30.66±11.18) araştırmaya gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Araştırmada veriler; Balcı ve arkadaşları (2016) tarafından geliştirilen Bisiklet Engelleri Ölçeği ile toplanmıştır. Ölçek, kişisel bilgi formu ve katılımcıların bisiklet kullanımını engelleyen etmenlere yönelik ifadeler olmak üzere iki bölümden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde, ikili gruptan oluşan değişkenler için t-testi, ikiden fazla gruptan oluşan değişkenler için ise tek yönlü varyans analizi (One Way Anova) kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan bisiklet kullanıcılarından toplanan veriler ışığında; bisiklet kullanım engelleri arasında ilk sırada alt yapı eksiklikleri olduğu saptanmıştır. Bunu sırasıyla yasa ve mevzuattaki eksiklikler, fiziksel ve ekonomik yetersizlikler, sosyo-kültürel yapı ve bireysel eksikliklerin izlediği tespit edilmiştir. Katılımcıların ölçek sorularına verdikleri yanıtlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde ise; bisiklet kullanıcılarının orta düzeyde bir engelle karşılaştıkları belirlenmiştir.
