<p>No matter what century we live in, even though the tools we use change from age to age, man is not a creature who can be considered or understood without the concept of values. Although we have different religions, languages, races and cultures, the personality of man is always constructed through values. Values are factors that directly influences human life and society in a positive or negative way. This study suggests that values education aimed at teaching individuals certain values is not sufficiently practiced by families in Turkey. In order to address the problem, this study aimed to increase the awareness of family members regarding values and help them turn values into behavior in everyday life. To this end, a 24-month “values education program” involving a set of activities was carried out. Every month, a specific value was chosen taking into account the needs of family members and “value booklets” were prepared using four sub-dimensions of the chosen value. 10 families participated in the program and the data was collected from 25 individuals. The resulting data was subjected to content analysis. 3 main themes were found to be important in the light of the data: moral development, development of communication skills, and religiousness. These themes were thought to be beneficial in terms of understanding the effectiveness and importance of family members’ internalizing values and turning them into behavior in everyday life.<strong></strong></p>

The purpose of this article is to analyze natural conditions as a significant factor of influence on everyday life, practices and strategies for the survival of the population of Ukrainian lands in the second half of the 16th – 17th centuries. The main task of the study is to reconstruct the environment of the second half of the 16th – 17th centuries and to identify the mutual influence of man and nature. Research methodology: the following methods were used: general scientific – historical and logical, analysis and synthesis, generalization; special – historical-systemic, historical reconstruction, which consists in drawing up a fairly complete picture of everyday life from disparate facts. Scientific novelty: the natural factor in the pre-industrial era is significantly underestimated in the studies of everyday life and is one of the most significant in the impact on human life, but it is ignored in modern historical works. Therefore, the analysis of the natural conditions of everyday life, especially in the early modern era, is relevant today. Conclusions. The analysis of the influence of natural conditions on everyday life of the population shows that a significant part of the population in one way or another was engaged in the transformation of nature in their production practices and was largely dependent on the environment. In the minds of the population, nature was seen as an endless resource for consumption. When assessing the influence of nature on everyday life in the second half of the 16th – 17th centuries, emphasis should be placed on the fact that during this period there was a combination of reproduction and appropriating forms of the economy in everyday production practices. The richness of natural resources, the fertility of the soil helped people to survive, but everyday survival was often due to the merciless exploitation of nature, especially in forests and wild animals. Parallel to this, there are attempts to protect resources from overuse by granting privileges to a limited number of consumers and legislative regulation. In general, the environmental circumstances of everyday life of the specified period cannot be characterized as stable due to the reduction of forest, plowing of virgin lands, excessive extermination of wild animals.

Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden görüşme tekniği kullanılmıştır. Veriler yedi maarif müfettişinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu ile toplanmıştır. Daha sonra veriler içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. İçerik analizi sonucunda maarif müfettişlerinin görüşlerinin “rehberlik görevi ile ilgili görüşler, soruşturma görevi ile ilgili görüşler, rehberlik ve soruşturma görevinin bir arada yürütülmesi ile ilgili görüşler ve denetimin geliştirilmesine ilişkin görüşler” olarak dört ana tema altında toplandığı görülmüştür. Çalışmanın sonucuna göre maarif müfettişlerinin rehberlik görevini yeterince yerine getiremediklerini, soruşturma görevlerini yerine getirirken birçok zorlukla karşılaştıklarını, görev alanlarının birbiriyle çeliştiğini ve denetimin gelişmesi için görev alanlarının birbirinden ayrılması gerektiğini düşündükleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara dayalı olarak müfettişlerin; ders denetimi yapabilmesinin yolunun açılması, soruşturma yaparken bilgi ve belgelere daha kolay ulaşabilmeleri için gerekli yasal düzenlemelerin yapılması, ifade alabilmelerinin kolaylaştırılması için gerekli düzenlemeler yapılması, rehberlik görevleriyle soruşturma görevleri birbirinden ayrılması ve kendileri hakkında oluşan olumsuz ön yargıları kırmak için iletişim becerilerine özen göstermesi gerektiği önerileri getirilmiştir.
