One of the quasi-experimental designs, the "pretest-posttest control group design", was used in the study. There were two experimental groups and one control group. Technologyassisted context-based vocabulary activities were used in one of the experimental groups, and printed materials with context-based vocabulary activities were used in the other experimental group. The implementation was carried out in the control group according to the current Turkish curriculum. It was planned to teach vocabulary by utilising sentence and text context in context-based vocabulary activities. The research was conducted with students studying in three different fourth grade classes of a primary school, which were equivalent to each other according to the pre-tests. A total of 91 students from three groups (experimental-1: 30, experimental-2: 30, control: 31) participated in the study. The Vocabulary Knowledge Achievement Test (VKAT) developed by Yaşar-Sağlık (2022) and the Vocabulary Learning Motivation Scale (VLMS) developed by Genç-Ersoy and Belet-Boyacı (2018) were used in the study. After the pre-tests were applied, 14 lesson hours of interventions were carried out over 7 weeks. After the implementation, the process was finalised by applying post-tests. The data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the difference in scores (post-test-pre-test). Also, the Tukey post hoc test was used to determine the source of the difference. In addition, partial eta squared (η2) values were calculated to determine effect sizes. As a result, it was found that context-based vocabulary activities conducted with technologyassisted tools and printed materials were significantly more effective in improving students' vocabulary knowledge than the current Turkish curriculum. In addition, it was also revealed that technology-assisted activities were more effective in improv

Çalışmada okuduğunu anlama öğretimi üç dönemde ele alınmıştır: davranışçı ekolün belirleyici olduğu 1975 öncesi dönem; bilişsel yaklaşımın, bilgi işleme kuramının ve sosyo-kültürel yaklaşımın etkili olduğu 1975-1990 yılları arasındaki dönem ve son olarak literatür kuramı, okur-tepki teorisi ve kültürel teorinin öne çıktığı 1990 sonrası dönem. Böyle bir tarihsel bakışın konuyla ilgili okuma vizyonunu genişletmeye, günümüzdeki uygulama ve araştırmaların köklerinin geçmişe uzanan bir miras olduğunu görebilmeye ve de okuduğunu anlama öğretimindeki güncel sorunların analizine farklı boyutlardan yaklaşılmasına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışma sonucunda okuduğunu anlama öğretiminin tarihsel süreçte sırasıyla fizyolojik, psikolojik ve sosyolojik olana doğru evrilen bir süreç izlediği görülmüştür. Çalışmanın temel önerisi araştırmacıların okuduğunu anlama öğretimine ilişkin kuram ve modelleri birbirinden ayırarak ve basitleştirerek değil, aksine bütünleştirerek ve her bir kuram ve modelin anlama öğretimine kendi perspektifi ile katkı sunduğunu bilerek araştırmalar yapmalarıdır.

Having a qualitative nature, the study utilized data collected from 277 third-year teacher candidates studying at the primary education department of the education faculty of a state university in Ankara. The study group was selected via criterion sampling. The data were tested by using an open-ended problem case and analyzed via document analysis. The proofs used by students in solving the problem and in instructional explanations were categorized as Proof A, Proof B ... Proof H, and the data were evaluated in these categories. The results obtained were discussed in line with the proof schemes outlined by Harel and Sowder (1998). However, as certain proofs fell into several categories, they could not be evaluated in only one group. The primary education teacher candidates were found to use authoritative, habitual and symbo...

In the study carried out with the qualitative research method, the data were collected using criterion sampling, one of the purposive sampling methods. The study group consists of 16 first grade teachers working in public and private primary schools in different provinces of Turkey and 9 parents of first graders. Two different semi-structured interview forms prepared by the researchers were used to obtain the opinions of teachers and parents. The content analysis technique was used for the analysis of the obtained data. As a result of the study, three different themes were found, namely "benefits", "difficulties" and "solutions", regarding the emergency distance education process. First grade teachers and parents stated that the benefits of the emergency distance education environment for the process of teaching literacy were access to various opportunities through technology and educational portals, and strengthening the communication between teachers and parents. The difficulties experienced in this process outweighed the benefits and included the negative psychological effects on students, problems arising from technology and educational portals, difficulties in the reading and writing processes, and negative effects on teacherparent-student communication. The solutions used by first grade teachers and parents to overcome the problems were aimed at increasing literacy achievement and motivation and eliminating the problem of inadequate internet access.

For this purpose, the sample of this research, which is designed in descriptive survey model, consists of third and fourth grade students studying in the Department of Primary School Education. The data of the research were obtained by the "Questionnaire of Knowledge and Training Needs of Primary School Teacher Candidates on the Right to the Protection of the Child" prepared by the researchers referring to the opinions of the experts. As a result of the study, it was found out that teacher candidates did not participate in any informative education activities related to the children's right to protection during the period of university education. It has been observed that the teacher candidates have an idea about the symptoms and causes of neglect and abuse, and that they do not have sufficient knowledge about communicating with the child who has been neglected and abused, about the individuals and institutions that need to be reported for neglect and abuse, and about the legal intervention process and appropriate reporting procedures in case of neglect and abuse. Therefore, it was concluded that the teacher candidates' knowledge about the children's right to protection was insufficient, and that they should receive training on the subject. Based on these results, it is suggested that pre-service training programs offered to teacher candidates should include theoretical content about legal legislation, and psychological, sociological, and ethical aspects of the children's right to protection and skills training about the children's right to protection

The research data were obtained by a data collection tool that was developed by the researchers drawing on the books, namely The Declaration of Girls' Rights and The Declaration of Boys' Rights by Élizabeth Brami and Estelle Billion-Spagnol, which were written for children. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage and Chi-square test. Findings: Overall results of this study suggested that the primary school fourth-grade students failed to consider professions, plays, toys, colors, daily life skills, academic, artistic, and sportive activities based on "rights", that they had explicit stereotypical approaches, and that girls had more equalitarian perception than boys regarding gender roles.
Implications for Further Research and Practice: Efforts should be made to eliminate all kinds of sexist items and practices from the content and functioning of the education (e.g. programs, books, teacher behaviors, spaces, activities). Steps should be taken to increase the awareness of families and society in general about gender equality.
