The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of tutorial and edutainment design of instructional software programs
related to the “cell division” topic on student achievements, misconceptions and attitudes. An experimental research design
including the cell division achievement test (CAT), the cell division concept test (CCT) and biology attitude scale (BAS)
was applied at the beginning and at the end of the research. After the treatment, general achievement in CAT increased in
favor of experimental groups. Instructional software programs also had the positive effect to the awareness of students’ understandings
to the general functions of mitosis and meiosis. However, the current study revealed that there were still some misconceptions
in the experimental groups even after the treatment. It was also noticed that only using edutainment software program significantly
changed students’ attitudes towards biology. 相似文献
With reference to the question of women and of socio-cultural minorities in higher education, the author examines the concept of political correctness (PC). Based on the ''principle of reversibility'', it can be a liberating factor, but if it is manipulated by dominant socio-economic forces, it can also be a force favouring divisive social and economic control. The question is, how can the liberating aspects of PC be enabled to predominate over the others. 相似文献
The Fukushima accident was a crisis in Japan, and a crisis elsewhere. In Europe, the aftermath of Fukushima was a period of intense questioning, about how to ensure the safety of nuclear reactors, and how, at the same time, ensure the ability of the European Union to act as a consistent political actor in the face of potentially catastrophic risks. Using empirical material related to the post-Fukushima stress tests and the subsequent discussions about the European regulatory framework for nuclear safety, this paper shows that stress tests have provided a peculiar form of European intervention, restabilizing regulatory boundaries while extending the European gaze. It describes the overall operation thereby performed as the “normalization of the crisis” whereby the exceptional situation enters the realm of the normal functioning of the public administrations, and where the actions undertaken take the form of the legal norm.
The rediscovery and thorough understanding of historic design strategies and characteristics of functional space developments that reflect the society and region in which people live are important in appreciating building preservation and the reuse of traditional buildings. This has contributed to their survival down the centuries. Although written sources frequently refer to the plans, sections, elevations, and decorative features of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Ottoman hospitals, they hardly discuss the original functions of the spaces and their relation to the functional systems and to the staff working in those hospitals, as specified in their waqf deeds. Therefore, throughout this article, functional space development in Ottoman-period hospitals of Anatolia and the possible factors affecting them have been examined and carefully evaluated. The evaluations have shown that, in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Anatolian hospitals, the functional programme, spatial composition, and location selection has been wisely planned as an ideal model of Ottoman architecture. 相似文献
The impact of biotechnologies on peoples’ everyday lives continuously increases. Measuring young peoples’ attitudes toward
biotechnologies is therefore very important and its results are useful not only for science curriculum developers and policy
makers, but also for producers and distributors of genetically modified products. Despite of substantial number of instruments
which focused on measuring student attitudes toward biotechnology, a majority of them were not rigorously validated. This
study deals with the development and validation of an attitude questionnaire toward biotechnology. Detailed information on
development and validation process of the instrument is provided. Data gathered from 326 university students provided evidence
for the validity and reliability of the new instrument which consists of 28 attitude items on a five point likert type scale.
It is believed that the instrument will serve as a valuable tool for both instructors and researchers in science education
to assess students’ biotechnology attitudes. 相似文献
Our Q method exploration of counselor educators’ perspectives of minimally acceptable cognitive complexity (CC) in trainees at the end of internship yielded two factors: Trainee's Conceptual Integration Ability and Trainee's Ability to Apply Integrated Knowledge. Implications for teaching, supervision, and research pertinent to assessment of and enhancement of CC conclude. 相似文献
Education can cease to be a showcase for political projects and start serving women’s lives only when the agency of women in their own education is acknowledged. In this paper I have addressed issues concerning harem education to emphasise that possible solutions to issues of girls’ education require an awareness concerning the history of girls’ education in different geographies. In this article, this agency is pursued in the homosocial production of knowledge in the harem, which is an exoticised space. Questioning the limitations and benefits of the concept of the harem is especially important in understanding processes such as the accommodation of public practices of education in women’s homes. Using Foucault’s concept of heterotopia, the harem is contextualised to shed light upon its liberating and dominating aspects, as a sphere where public and private practices of education converge. 相似文献
During the COVID-19 pandemic period, the level of anxiety and the duration of social media use increased in university students.
Objectives
This study aimed to examine the relationship between coronavirus anxiety and social media addiction in university students.
Methods
The sample consisted of 346 university students in Turkey. The data were collected online using the Sociodemographic Data Form, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form and the Social Network Addiction Scale. The data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance, Mann–Whitney U test, Pearson correlation analysis, chi-square analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results
The results showed that the mean coronavirus anxiety score was higher in men than in women. Social media addiction increased as the daily time spent by the students on social media increased. A positive correlation was found between the daily time spent on social media before the pandemic and social media usage during the pandemic. It was concluded that students use social media more during the pandemic than before it and that social media addiction increases as the students' coronavirus anxiety increases.
Conclusion
It is important to plan initiatives to reduce coronavirus anxiety to prevent social media addiction in young people.
Study Location and Sample
The research population consisted of 1st and 2nd year students who are studying in the Medical Services and Techniques Department of Vocational School of Health Services at a university located in the west of Turkey, during the Fall Term of academic year 2020–2021. Students in this department are studying in anaesthesia, dialysis, first and emergency aid, medical laboratory techniques, medical imaging technique, and medical documentation and secretarial programmes. 相似文献
