Systemic Unity of State Control (Supervision) and Public Control as a Сonstitutional Law Principle
Authors: Spiridonov A. A.
Published: June 2022

The paper examines the principle of systemic unity of state control (supervision) and public control in the context of constitutional law science that, according to the author, is conditioned by the logic of the development of Russian legislation concerning control and supervisory activities and provides the necessary constitutional and theoretical support point for further increasing of cohesion between the state and civil society. Based on a systematic analysis of the basic provisions of legislative acts concerning types of control, the paper shows that this constitutional law principle manifests itself in the following aspects: as a uniform conceptual approach of the law-maker to aim all types of control to achieve constitutionally significant goals and protect constitutionally significant values; orientation of all types of control to comprehensively ensure the rule of law in the areas of controlled public relations; the correlation of the content of the types of control in terms of a combination of both verification measures (or supervision) and analytical and prognostic components aimed at countering the formation of conditions conducive to violations; the correlation of the expected results of control activities within all types of control, namely, the elimination of violations and restoration of the state of protection of the rights and freedoms of individuals and legal entities and public interests; unity of the constructive nature of control activities. The practical introduction into the doctrine and law-making of the proposed constitutional law principle of the systemic unity of state control (supervision) and public control will make it possible to ensure to a greater extent that all control and supervisory activities are aimed at achieving a state of protection of constitutionally significant values, including full compliance with safeguards of human and civil rights and freedoms, strengthening the rule of law, and improving the efficiency of the state and municipal administration.
Effectiveness of Criminal Punishment for Corruption Crimes
Authors: Ivanova A. A.
Published: June 2022

The paper examines factors influencing the effectiveness of criminal punishment for corruption crimes. The research methodology includes the main method of scientific cognition (dialectical), a systematic approach, general scientific methods: analysis and synthesis (in understanding corruption acts), comparison (law enforcement practices, types of criminal punishment); private scientific methods: mathematical and criminal statistical (in calculating indicators and identifying correlations), sociological (survey of respondents-officers responsible for preliminary investigation, judges, convicts, citizens), analysis of documents, etc. The empirical basis consists of the results of a criminological study conducted by the author in 2018–2020. as part of an interregional research team (Vladimir, Volgograd, Kazan, N. Novgorod, Syktyvkar), as well as criminal statistics data, materials of judicial practice. The paper analyzes the state of the problem of determining the effectiveness of criminal punishment. The results obtained are projected onto the sphere of corruption crimes. The law enforcement practice of sentencing for corruption crimes for the period 2016–2020 is presented on the basis of judicial statistics. The author substantiates the necessity of determining the criteria for evaluating effectiveness of criminal punishment in the area under examination. These include the achievement through punishment of the goals stated by the law-maker. It is proposed to focus on the results of criminological research when assessing the effectiveness of the execution of punishment. Additional criteria for effectiveness can be: the proportion of convicts who consider the punishment imposed on them fair/unfair; the proportion of convicts who have fully/ partially compensated for the damage caused, etc. The conclusion is made about insufficient effectiveness of the most commonly used types of punishment, as well as the low deterrent effect of the fine. It is demonstrated that the humanism inherent in modern anti-corruption legislation is not recognized by convicts, thereby the trust provided by the state is not justified against the background of the corruption acts committed. The author argues the expediency of returning confiscation as a full-fledged type of criminal punishment for corruption crimes. The disclosure of the potential of criminal punishment in the form of imprisonment and the restoration of property confiscation can increase the effectiveness of the criminal law response to the threat of corruption.

Authors: Nemsadze V. P. , Kuznechikhin E. P. , Tarasov N. P. , Kuznetsov S. M. , Isaev A. A.
Published: June 2022

The paper presents the experience of using metal plate osteosynthesis in 158 patients aged 6 to 14 years in the treatment of bone fractures of different localization, improperly fused fractures, as well as in performing corrective osteotomies for orthopedic diseases. Fixation of bone fragments with metal plates made it possible to do without external immobilization in the postoperative period. Stable osteosynthesis provided the possibility of early functional loading of the operated limb, which excluded the development of post-mobilization states (contractures, hypotrophy). The child could use the operated limb long before the onset of complete consolidation of the bone fragments. Depending on the nature of the fracture and the type of osteotomy, straight, T-shaped, apgular and derotational-compression plates were used.

Published: June 2022

In areas with three types of environmental pollution, the state of the musculoskeletal system was studied in 22,710 children aged from the first days of life to 17 years. In general, an increase in the incidence of diseases and injuries of the osteoarticular system was noted, which was most pronounced in areas with aluminum production, which indicates a direct dependence of the pathology of the musculoskeletal system on microelement disorders. In the zone of consequences of the Chernobyl accident with a period of radiation contamination calculated from 1986, static skeletal disorders are most frequent, in Kazakhstan, where the mixed type of contamination has been active for 30 years, the frequency of congenital deformities is increased, and in the zone of aluminum complexes, acquired diseases of the skeleton.

Authors: Berezhny A. P. , Berchenko G. N. , Morozov A. K. , Kasymov I. A.
Published: June 2022

The work is based on the experience of examination and treatment of 134 children with solitary eosinophilic granuloma of the vertebrae, long and flat bones. When vertebrae are damaged with the formation of a vertebra plana, treatment consists of reclining the spine and fixing it with a plaster brace, and then with a polyvic brace until V3-V2 is restored to the initial height of the vertebral body. A pathological fracture of one of the cervical vertebrae with the formation of an angular deformity is an indication for the imposition of a halo apparatus. With the localization of eosinophilic granulomas in long and flat bones, the method of choice is puncture treatment with the introduction of a steroid hormone into the focus.

Authors:   , Mehanwal Nishtha , Finamore Troy
Published: June 2022

User Experience (UX) research methods have been used by designers to understand the needs of the users. Designers use different research methods to determine problems faced by the user and get in their mindset. In this study, we employ the use of UX research methods to develop a story for a 2D animated video to generate empathy for people with Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). We conducted a survey with 187 participants to collect information from the people about their experiences with the disorder and used the information to form a storyline for the animation. We conducted a second survey with 143 participants who watched the animation first and then answered questions about their understanding of SAD. The second survey was to determine if we were able to use the medium of animation to generate empathy among people. We collected qualitative and quantitative data in both the surveys and by analyzing the collected data we were able to determine that we can use UX research methods to develop a storyline for an animation on Social Anxiety Disorder to generate empathy in people who do not suffer from it. We suggested that further study can be conducted to raise awareness about different mental health disorders. This study hopes to provide helpful information about the different factors that can affect empathy.

Published: June 2022

As Philadelphia continues to grow, it will become increasingly important for the city to mitigate existing congestion as well as future growth in a way that improves the livability of the city while continuing to promote economic development. This study aims to determine the necessity and feasibility of congestion pricing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Through case study evaluations of London, Stockholm and New York City as well as an in-depth evaluation of the Philadelphia condition, I ask: if congestion pricing would alleviate congestion in Philadelphia, if congestion pricing is feasible in Philadelphia, and why Philadelphia does not need congestion pricing. Based on a review of literature related to emissions and climate change, transportation policy, and public perceptions of congestion pricing schemes around the world, interview questions were developed for industry professionals. From there, quantitative data related to vehicle miles traveled, travel times, economic indicators and commuting patterns were analyzed. Analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data was used to develop a framework for future development of a congestion charge as well as a preliminary plan for a congestion charge in Philadelphia. Ultimately, this study concludes that congestion pricing is feasible in Philadelphia but is not yet needed. However, given the trajectory of automobile use, it is recommended that Philadelphia begin the process of evaluating and developing a plan for congestion pricing to be implemented in the future. Further research is needed to determine priorities for Philadelphians in terms of congestion management as well as the specific design elements of the charging scheme.

Authors: Mizan A. N. K.
Published: June 2022

Observing the price movements of stocks is an area of interest for researchers across the world. Possibly no other area of finance has been subject to the empirical investigation during the last four decades relative to stock price movements. The study is an effort to contribute positively to the field. Especially to understand the price movements of stocks listed in the DSE (Dhaka Stock Exchange) as best shares in relation to the dividend declarations of the selected companies. Usually, the dividend declarations are assumed as a positive signal to the market because they signify better earnings for the company. For understanding the price behavior of the shares a standard event study methodology has been adopted to analyze the 20 companies of the DSE-20 index. The findings indicate that the prices are highly influenced by the enormous expectations of the investors and there is a very high possibility to gain abnormal returns by using the publicly available information.

Published: June 2022

In the study of tombs in Balhae, it can be said that the tombs in Hamgyeong province were almost excluded. However as the increasing the numbers of excavated Balhae tombs, it was need to review them. So, it was aimed review the tomb’s structure in Hamgyong Province, and suggested the problems of North Korean’s tomb study.
It was confirmed that there are stone mound tomb, stone chamber-earthen mound, stone chest-earthen mound tomb in Hamgyong Province. Some tombs among the stone mound tomb and stone chamber-earthen mound are similar to those of Koguryeo. And some tombs have characteristics of this area. While the horse harnesse and golden thick ring earings which are rare burial items in Balhae tombs are similar to those of Koguryeo, and Silla.
In North Korea, various tombs in Hamgyeong province are regarded as Balhae tombs, and interpreted the succession of Koguryeo. Furthermore it is emphasized on the independent historical development from Koguryeo to Balhae and Balhae to Koryo, including the succession of the inhabitants.
The North Korea’s interpretation of Balhae tomes in Hamgyeong province seems clear, but there are some problems are not taken into account in the structure and burials of the tombs in the point of the historical context of the region from Koguryeo to Balhae to Koryo. And it has a problem of oversimplifying the various elements reflected in the tombs. Therefore, the meaning of paper is that it emphasized the need to consider the historical context in the study of tombs in Hamgyeong provincethe area from Koguryeo to Balhae.

Published: June 2022

Background: Viruses are the most common causative agents of aseptic meningitis syndrome. This study aimed to identify the most common causes of viral meningitis (VM) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and study its relationship with age and seasonal variations.Methods: During the study period, the records of 129 patients who had been discharged and diagnosed with VM were identified and reviewed. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples collected from these patients were tested by PCR using the Seeplex V1 AC meningitis detection kit that detects herpes simplex virus type 1 and type 2 (HSV1) and (HSV2), varicella-zoster virus (VZV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), human herpesvirus type 6 (HHV6), and the Seeplex V2 AC meningitis detection kit that detects human enteroviruses (EV).Results: VM was confirmed by PCR in 79 cases (61.42%). Most of the VM cases were reported in children younger than 6 years (72.15%; 57/79). EV were detected at the highest incidence of 60 cases (75.9%), followed by HSV1and EBV in 6 cases for each (7.6%, each), CMV in 3 cases (3.9%), VZV and HHV6 were detected in 2 cases for each (2.5%, each). VM cases were found to be more frequent during the spring season (64.6%; 51/79) and the peak incidence of enteroviral meningitis cases was during the spring season (68.4%; 41/60).Conclusions: Our study showed that EV were the most common causative agent of VM in Aleppo-Syria. Genotype and serotype of identified viruses are recommended.

The coronavirus pandemic brought with it a wide range of clinical presentations. Earlier, the respiratory symptoms comprised most of the clinical picture. However, as more and more people got infected, many atypical presentations came into the limelight, especially the neurological manifestations. Spinal cord complications are widely reported, with COVID-19 associated myelitis constituting a big part. Through this report, we bring you a series of cases of COVID-19 associated myelitis to add to the already available data. We report four patients, two of whom developed longitudinally extensive myelitis (three or more vertebral segments). The other two suffered from multisegmented short-segment myelitis (less than three vertebral segments). COVID-19 myelitis can be seen during COVID-19 illness and post COVID. We aim to familiarize the medical community with this entity so that there is a minimum delay between the onset of the symptoms in the patient and the management of this complication, as the treatment is often gratifying.

Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Park Hana , Kim Younggi , Suh Borahm
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this study is to draw implications for policy improvement by identifying the current status of school drop prevention policies and projects being operated at school sites. To achieve this objective, a survey was conducted with school teachers in charge of the nationwide school drop prevention projects. A total of 1,575 people responded to the survey. The results of analyzing the school members’ perceptions of the school drop prevention projects, the current status of business operations, difficulties, and areas for improvement were analyzed as follows. First, the designation of the school drop prevention projects and the operation of the deliberation systems are concentrated at the high school level. Considering the accumulated situations of the academic discontinuation, it is necessary to activate projects in both elementary school and high school level. Second, the operation of alternative classrooms in schools was in the order of middle school (39.8%), elementary school (6.4%), and high school (27.3%). In particular, it is necessary to understand the difficulties in operating alternative classrooms in elementary schools. In addition, it is necessary to prepare a way to overcome stigmas and prejudices, and a plan to link the curriculum of alternative classrooms in high schools. Third, the significance and necessity of the study regarding the school drop prevention projects were found in the order of providing emotional stability (4.08 points), providing time and space for rest (4.07 points), helping with school adjustment (3.94 points), and providing customized education (3.92 points). Therefore, it is necessary to provide programs and opportunities for students to solve problems according to their situation. Fourth, the difficulties of the school drop prevention project were derived from the overload of the person in charge, the lack of connection to external organizations, and formal and superficial work procedures. Therefore, it is necessary to improve policies such as assigning one or more professional counselors to schools, providing incentives for those in charge, support from the office of education for linking external instructors with local community organizations, and discovering and expanding entrusted educational institutions for alternative education with expertise.
A study on elementary school teachers' perceptions of Social Studies subject competency
Authors:   The Korea Association of Yeolin Education, Jeong Moonseong
Published: June 2022

This study examines elementary school teachers' thoughts on the level of understanding, importance, difficulty of classes, and suitability of social studies subject competency presented in the 2015 revised social studies curriculum. For this, the responses of 178 elementary school teachers in Gyeonggi-do were analyzed and the results are as follows. First, as a whole, elementary school teachers showed a very positive attitude toward social studies competency. They answered that they fully understand, consider it important, and are suitable for teaching social studies. However, there were some difficulties in putting it into practice, but not enough to be concerned about. Such a positive response is because the subject competency differed in expression only, but it was traditionally emphasized in social studies education. However, how to incorporate the competencies required by the new era, such as creative thinking and information utilization, into the contents and skills of social studies education emerged as challenges. Second, although they generally responded positively to social studies subject competency, there were also differences by several variables.
In the understanding and importance of creative thinking, male teachers showed higher positive responses than female teachers. Conversely, female teachers showed a higher positive response than male teachers in the importance of communication and collaboration skills and the importance of information utilization skills. Regarding the importance of critical thinking abilities and the overall difficulty of classes, those from social studies majors responded more positively than those from non-social studies majors. This seems to be because critical thinking is an ability emphasized only in the social studies education, which is not found in other subjects. On the other hand, as for the importance of information utilization, teachers from non-social studies majors responded more positively than teachers from social studies majors. This seems to be because teachers in social studies education thinks it is relatively less important compared to the other subject competencies that have been traditionally emphasized. Further, competencies based on the characteristics of social studies, which have been traditionally emphasized in the survey on social studies competency of elementary school teachers, should be further emphasized and elaborated, but efforts required by the new era should be melted into the characteristics of social studies to be reborn as social studies competency. And it is judged that these efforts should be made together with additional theoretical discussions and consideration of teachers' perceptions.
Introduction and Personality of Chinese Nationalized History Textbook Zhong Wai Li Shi Gang Yao
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, LIM Sang Hun
Published: June 2022

In 2017, China confirmed the nationalized history textbooks, and the history curriculum was divided into three stages: mandatory, selective, and optional subjects. The nationalized history textbook Zhong wai Li Shi Gang Yao(『中外歷史綱要』, The Outline of Chinese and Foreign History) is planned to be used as the only history textbook in general high schools across China from 2022. This study paid attention to history education among the causes of the historical conflict between Korea and China, and considered the background, influence, and problems of the appearance of Gang Yao.
The fact that Gang Yao appeared in a situation where the U.S.-China hegemony competition accelerated and became more isolated internationally suggests many points. In order to overcome this situation, China has put a lot of effort into strengthening patriotism education, and through this, it is promoting internal unity. In this situation, the Gang Yao that appeared includes such political intentions in China.
China's political intentions are strongly projected, and Gang Yao has several problems such as a narrative method based on materialistic views, a lecture on the theory of a unified multi-ethnic state, and a historical narrative centered on the country. Considering that all general high school students across the country will be educated through this in the future, our position should be actively expressed. It is necessary to observe and analyze the contents related to us in more detail in China's history textbooks, and to continuously present opinions and coordinate the contents through active exchange and communication between Korea and China.
Traffic Routes and Central Bases in Manchuria during the Yuan Dynasty: Focused on the Northern Region of Manchuria
Authors:   HUFS Institute of History and Culture, Yoon Eun-Sook
Published: June 2022

Yuan Dynasty, the first empire that put the entire Manchuria region under its control concentrated the whole power in maintaining the partial traffic routes during Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty into five major traffic routes. As it organically connected the entire Manchuria region through this, the control and development of Manchuria became in earnest by Yuan.
Given that the general functions of posts were the movements of the military and munitions, the smooth delivery of written orders, and tax collection, Yuan Dynasty achieved satisfactory results in the Manchuria region. Especially, through the posts in the Manchuria region, it was possible to deter the Eastern Feudal Lords’ movement to the south to a considerable extent and greatly improve the central government control. Hampyeong located on the central road of Manchuria acted as a strategic base for both Yuan Dynasty and rebel forces. Yuan Dynasty that captured Hampyeong at the end of fierce fighting began to establish a post here in order in 1289 for the procurement of military supplies for the grown occupation forces and the reinforcement of control over Manchurians. It is the largest transportation hub in the Manchuria region as the central axis connecting four routes. Some sections of the northwest road of Manchuria starting from Sangju was a kind of Shuizhan (Water station), all of which were connected as canals passing through the mainstream and branches of Songhua River, which served as an express route to Manchuria during the Yuan Dynasty. As many communication obstacles disappeared thanks to the operation of the post, the economic and cultural exchanges of Dadu with Mongolia and the Manchuria region were revitalized, which served as a momentum to advance the development of Manchuria.
Glycitein exerts neuroprotective effects in Rotenone-triggered oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death in the cellular model of Parkinson’s disease
Authors: Dong Na , Yang Zhilong
Published: June 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the prevalent neurodegenerative diseases among aging populations. Despite recent advancements, still, no therapy exists for the prevention of PD. Given the remarkable pharmacological properties of flavonoids, this study was designed to investigate the protective effects of a plant-derived flavonoid, glycitein in a cellular model of PD. Rotenone, a prevalently used pesticide, has been employed to study the pathology of PD. The results of the present study showed that Glycitein significantly (P<0.05) prevented the rotenone-induced inhibition of cell viability as evident from the MTT assay. Additionally, it was found that the increased ROS levels triggered by rotenone in human SK-N-SH neuroblastoma cells were significantly (P<0.05) diminished upon glycitein treatment. Glycitein treatment also restored the mitochondrial membrane potential of the rotenone treated SK-N-SH cells. These effects of Glycitein were mainly due to its ability to trigger the increased activity of the ROS scavenging enzymes such as GSH, SOD and CAT. The ATP estimates showed that the ATP levels were significantly (P<0.05) reduced in the rotenone treated SK-N-SH cells. Nonetheless, glycitein treatment could restore the ATP levels of the SK-N-SH cells in a dose-dependent manner. Rotenone has also been shown to induce apoptosis in human cells and the results of the annexin V/PI staining showed that glycitein exhibits remarkable potential to prevent in the rotenone triggered apoptosis in SK-N-SH cells. This was also accompanied by alteration in the expression of Bax, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 expression. Taken together, the study indicates that glycitein exhibits neuroprotective effects by preventing rotenone induce oxidative stress and apoptotic cell death. These findings point towards the use of glycitein in the management of neurodegenerative diseases such as PD.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of single Judkins left (JL) catheter to view right and left coronary artery in right transradial coronary angiography.
Methods: A total of 266 patients underwent coronary angiography from the right radial artery were studied prospectively. Patients with ad-hoc percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), peripheral angiography, ventriculography or aortography procedures (67 patients) were excluded from the study. Coronary angiography was performed with the JL catheter as single catheter group in 171 of the remaining 199 patients, and with the Judkins right and left catheters as the control group in the other 28 patients. Complications, procedure success, procedure time and fluoroscopy time were evaluated between the two groups.
Results: Procedure success were 93% (159/171) in patients with a single catheter group and 96.4% (27/28) in patients with two catheter (Judkins right and left) group (control group) (p = 0.49). Complications (spasm) are the same between the two groups (8 of 171 [4.7%] patients in study group and 1 of 28 [3.6%] patients in control group, p = 0.79). Fluroscopy time in single JL catheter group was significantly higher (6.20 ± 4.97 min vs 3.76 ± 2.78 min, p = 0.01).
Conclusions: Single JL catheter using to view right and left coronary artery in right transradial coronary angiography was safe and effective. In our study, the success rate of getting left and right coronary artery images with a single JL catheter as high as 93%. However, insisting on imaging with a single catheter extends the duration of fluoroscopy time.

The study of waste management based on maqashid shari'ah and circular economy requires a study to realize wise and Islamic waste management. This research comes with the aim to find out and analyze waste management based on maqashid shari'ah and circular economy in TPST 3R Blitar Regency, namely TPST 3R "Abdi Karya mandiri" and TPST 3R "Punokawan".  This research uses a qualitative approach with this type of case study research because this study examines an event that occurs today, which is related to waste management based on maqashid shari'ah and circular economy. Data excavation methods use observation, interview and documentation methods. In this study it was found that maqashid shari'ah-based waste management in TPST 3R Blitar Regency indirectly meets the five main elements of shari'ah maqashid, namely hifzh al-din, hifzh al-nafs, hifz al 'aql, hifzh hifzh al-nasl, and hifzh al-mal. Then in circular economy-based waste management at TPST 3R Blitar Regency produces sustainable and renewable products that are indirectly in accordance with the circular economy concept. This is because the waste management and processing system in the two TPST 3R has a rotating and interconnected production flow from upstream to downstream.

This article addresses the way in which Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora, through the manuscript “Descripción de la Bahía de Santa María de Galve” (1693), shows a series of textual relationships with discursive forms such as Relaciones Geográficas, with other texts mentioned in the manuscript (La Florida by Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Naufragios by Al­var Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and Historia de la fundación y discurso de la provincia de Santiago de México de la orden de Predicadores by Agustín Dávila Padilla), and with the rest of the work of the Mexican polygraph. Through these intertextualities, we consider that the “Descripción de la Bahía de Santa María de Galve” is shown as a text that reflects, on the one hand, Sigüenza and Góngora’s mastery of the colonial archive and, on the other hand, the maturity and assimilation of the cultural practices that he cultivated and put at the service of the aforementioned exploratory project at the end of the 17th century.

This study aims to determine the way in which the visuals in the high school history textbooks are associated with the related texts. It was structured as a qualitative research based on document analysis. The data sources of the research consisted of ninth, tenth and eleventh grade history textbooks prepared and published by the Turkish Ministry of National Education. The findings reveal that there are a total of 669 visuals, 234 in grade nine, 247 in grade ten, and 188 in grade eleven textbooks. The cover images of the textbooks were also analysed. The findings of the study shows that the cover images in the ninth and tenth grade textbooks reflect the content to a limited extent, while the one in grade eleven textbook is far from representing the content. In addition, although the number of visuals in each of the examined textbooks is high. It was found out that only a limited number of the visuals are implicitly associated with the texts, while most of them are associated with the texts in a limited scope. In addition, it has been seen that a small number of images are not related to the texts around them.

Yaşanılan mekânda meydana gelen birçok olay coğrafyanın izlerini taşır. Bu anlamda İbn-i Haldun’un “Coğrafya kaderdir” sözü bir bakış açısı sunar. Araştırmada 2013-2021 yıllarında yapılmış olan KPSS (Kamu Personeli Seçme Sınavı) ÖABT (Öğretmenlik Alan Bilgisi Testi)’deki Fen Bilgisi, Sınıf ve Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliği Alan Bilgisi Testinde yer alan Coğrafya sorularının yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisinin bilişsel alan düzeyindeki bilgi ve bilişsel boyutuna göre analizinin yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bilgi testinde sorulan coğrafya sorularının yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisi analiz sonucuna göre dağılımı nasıldır? sorusuna cevap aranmıştır. Farklı disiplinlinlere ait öğretmenlik alan bilgisi üzerine yapılan sınavlarda daha öncesinde 2013-2019 yıllarında 50 alan sorusu sorulurken artık 2019 yılı itibariyle alan sınavı soru sayısı 75’e çıkarılmıştır. Türkiyede öğretmenlik alan bilgisi sınavlarında sorulan coğrafya sorularının yenilenmiş Bloom taksonosine yönelik analiz edilmesinde yöntem olarak tarama yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışmadaki veriler nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan doküman incelemesi ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırmada kullanılan verileri Fen Bilgisi, Sınıf ve Sosyal Bilgiler öğretmenliği alan bilgisi testinde yer alan ÖSYM (Öğrenci Seçme ve Yerleştirme Merkezi)’nin kendi sitesinden yayınladığı 175 adet coğrafya sorusu aluşturmaktadır. Alan sınavlarında sorulmuş olan Fen Bilgisi Öğretmenliğinde 43 soru, Sınıf Öğretmenliğinde 50 soru ve Sosyal Bilgiler Öğretmenliğinde 82 soru Krathwohl tarafından oluşturulan yenilenmiş bloom taksonomisindeki bilgi boyutunun yapısını ifade eden tabloya aktarılarak analiz edilmesi sağlanmıştır. Araştırmanın kodlayıcılar arası geçerlik ve güvenirliği sağlamak için üç alan uzmanı, iki tanede ölçme ve değerlendirme alanında uzman görüşleri alınmıştır. KPSS’de 2013-2021 yılları arasında farklı disiplinlerin alan sınavlarında hazırlanan coğrafya sorularının yenilenmiş Bloom taksonomisinin bilgi boyutu ve bilişsel süreç boyutuna göre değerlendirilmesi yapıldığında; soruların neredeyse tamamının bilişsel süreç boyutunun en alt basamaklarını ölçtüğü görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda alan sınavlarında sorulan coğrafya sorularının üst bilişsel düşünme becerilerini ölçmeye yönelik hazırlanmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
