Universities in Turkey also suffered from this situation and quickly started their own distance education applications using their own facilities. Different applications carried out by universities have had different reflections upon education. For example, while some universities provided compulsory live classes, some universities did not. Students are the most important component of this process. In this respect, the purpose of this study was to examine university students' views about emergency distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this qualitatively designed study, 32 students from 4 different universities were asked for their views. An online questionnaire form made up of open-ended questions was used as the data collection tool. The data were analyzed using the content analysis method, and the themes were created.

Institutions were not ready for such a process, and they failed to the necessary preparations. That's why these applications are called emergency distance education. As a result, for the evaluation of distance education practices during the pandemic period, a number of studies have been published and continue to be conducted. Evaluation of these publications with content analysis will be very important in analyzing this period in the future. In this respect, the purpose of this study was to perform the content analysis of the articles related to distance education practices in the pandemic period. As a result of the search done using the Scopus database, a total of 180 articles were examined within the scope of the present study. The articles were examined in terms of country,...

It was examined that why the number of master's degree distance education programs are so few and why universities don't open doctoral degree distance education programs. In this qualitative study, data were collected by an online questionnaire with open ended questions. Participants of the study were 11 academic members who have administrative experiences in distance education. Qualitative date was analyzed with content analysis method. According to the findings of the study, participants indicate that regulations are insufficient and this is one of the reasons for limited number of online distance education programs. In addition, they stated that there is a negative perception towards distance education among academics. Most of them think that distance education graduate programs should be offered.

This concept depends on the premise that learning should be maintained without interruption in different environments. Seamless learning is also important not only for meeting the expectations of the new generation whose life styles and learning needs are different but also for supporting the new paradigms in education. In this respect, the present study aimed to demonstrate the results of content analysis on the articles related to concept of Seamless Learning in Scopus database between 2009 and 2018. A total of 58 papers were examined to determine the concept list, top journal list, most cited papers, research methods and models, participants, data collection tools and variables in these articles. The study is considered to be important as no detailed content analysis has been conducted on the concept of seamless learning concept. The research results revealed a considerable increase in the number of studies on the concept of seamless learning by year. Singapore was the leading country in seamless learning research. It was seen in these studies that conceptual/descriptive methods were prominent as the research methods; that K-12 students were preferred more as participants; and that the most common data collection tools included interview and academic achievement tests. Lastly, in the studies examined, academic performance and perception were among the most popular dependent variables.

Design based research methodology was utilized for the study. With this purpose in mind, first of all a pilot software was developed based on the applied behavior analysis technique and in line with the related literature. Then as a sample group, 10 participants were determined. These participants used the software and tried to teach the daily living skills by using the software. Data were collected with semi-structured interviews and video recordings of skill teaching sessions. Based on the data analysis, new decisions were made about the software design and the software development process continued. The data collection and software development processes were performed in a circular process. In this study, the software development process was explained, and the software developed in this process was introduced.

Thus, the use of such SNS paves the way for questioning how these sites can be effectively used in educational environments. Since the SNSs in educational environments are potentially used, Educational Social Networking Sites (ESNSs) in the market such as Edmodo, Ning, Elgg, which are innovative educational environments with social networking capabilities, have also been employed in education. The aim of this study is to determine why the undergraduate students use the Internet, SNSs and Edmodo which is an ESNS and to investigate their views about these tools. In this context, Edmodo was used within the scope of an undergraduate course. And in order to collect data about this experience, interviews with 15 students and a focus group interview with 7 students were performed. In analysis and interpretation of the data used, both uses and gratifications theory and diffusions of innovations theory were taken into consideration. As a result, it was found that the students expressed their likes about Edmodo's features of assignment, quiz, poll and announcement / sharing. The study also reveals that the students also expressed their thoughts about the contributions of Edmodo to educational environments.

Bu bağlamda, akademisyenliğin yeniden tanımlanması veya kavramlaştırılması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle yükseköğretimde gerçekleşen tarihsel dönüşümlerle akademisyenliğin değişen rolü ele alınmıştır. Akademisyenlik kavramı ile akademisyenlerin gerçekleştirdiği öğretim, araştırma, toplum hizmeti ve yönetim etkinlikleri incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte akademisyenlerin gerçekleştirdikleri etkinlikler arasında yer alan araştırma ve öğretim ikilemine değinilmiş ve akademik yaşama ait sorunlar ele alınmıştır. İncelenen çalışmalar sonunda akademisyenlik kavramının çoğunlukla akademik etkinliklerle ilişkilendirildiği görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda akademik gündemi meşgul eden bir ikilem olarak görülen araştırma ve öğretim etkinlikleri arasında pozitif, negatif ve sıfır ilişki olmak üzere üç farklı ilişkinin olduğu görülmüştür. Bunların yanı sıra dünya genelinde akademisyenlerin çeşitli sorunlarla karşı karşıya oldukları görülmüştür. Ancak Türkiye'de bu konuda gerçekleştirilmiş çok az sayıda çalışma bulunduğu için, Türkiye'nin dünyada meydana gelen bu tartışmalardaki yerinin belirlenmesinin zorlaştığı görülmektedir.

It argues that universities need to respond to the growing calls for accountability, national and international competition in higher education, availability of quality open courseware and expectations that graduates should demonstrate the generic attributes required for the twenty-first century. The paper discusses how quality should be monitored and measured. It posits that quality can never be taken for granted, but has to be continually worked for. It also suggests that innovators in on-and off-campus pedagogy and e-learning need to evidence that they can achieve better outcomes than the more time-honoured approaches. At a time when Turkish universities are becoming increasingly engaged in QA and there is an ongoing debate on the governance issue, the paper is designed to raise issues for further consideration by managers and academics.

For this reason, researchers developed two educational computer games, Proportional Tetris and Proportional Clown, which are about ratio and proportion topic in mathematics education. Researchers used a survey including a demographic data form and two likert-like scales about both mathematics course and educational computer games. Educational computer games and the survey were applied to 176 students in two primary schools in Balikesir, Turkey. Whether educational computer games affected the students' attitudes towards both mathematics course and educational computer games was tested with Paired Samples t test. Whether there is a meaningful relationship between students' attitudes towards mathematics course and students' attitudes towards educational computer games was tested with Pearson Correlation test. As a result, students' attitudes towards both mathematics course and educational computer games became positive. But there wasn't any change in attitudes of students who played Proportional Tetris and Proportional Clown.
