Authors:   Department of Surgery, Division of Neurosurgery, Imo State University Teaching Hospital, Orlu, Imo State, Ibebuike Dr. Kaunda
Published: December 2024

Background: The Imo State University Teaching Hospital (IMSUTH), Orlu is rural based and commenced neurosurgical services in January 2016 whereas the Imo State Specialist Hospital (IMSSH), Owerri is in an urban environment and commenced neurosurgical services in April 2021. The demographics of cranial pathologies operatively managed in both hospitals were compared.

Aims: The study aimed to descriptively compare the number of cranial surgeries performed in both hospitals including the age, gender distribution and cranial pathologies of patients surgically managed in both hospitals.

Methods: The surgical records of all neurosurgery patients who had cranial operations at IMSUTH, Orlu, from January 2016 to June 2020 (42 months excluding 2018), and at IMSSH, Owerri, from April 2021 to July 2024 (40 months) were retrospectively reviewed.

Results: During the study periods, there were 26 cranial surgeries, in IMSUTH, Orlu giving an average of 1 cranial surgery in 2 months whereas there were 192 spine surgeries in IMSSH, Owerri, giving an average of 5 cranial surgeries per month. The mean age of the patients was 41 years for patients in IMSUTH and 39 years for patients in IMSSH, with a male to female ratio of 2:1 and 1.5:1 respectively. The mean age for male patients was 36 years for IMSUTH and 39 years for IMSSH while that of female patients was 51 years for IMSUTH and 32 years for IMSSH. The peak age range was in the age group 0-19 years for both IMSUTH (n=11, 42.3%) and IMSSH (n=69, 36%), followed by the age group 60 – 79 years for both IMSUTH (n=6, 23.1%) and IMSSH (n=55, 28.6%). The highest frequency of cranial surgeries was performed for hydrocephalus for IMSSH (n=85, 44.3%). This was followed by cranial haematoma (n=52, 27.1%), cranial tumours (n=33, 17.2%) and cranial infection (n=13, 6.8%). Although the findings in IMSUTH were similar, hydrocephalus (n=9, 34.6%) and haematoma (n=9, 34.6%) were the same in frequency, followed by cranial tumours (n=5, 19.2%) and cranial infection (n=3, 11.5%).

Conclusion: Cranial pathologies are not uncommon in our resource poor settings, especially in the urban environment and with a male preponderance for cranial surgeries. Congenital hydrocephalus is the most common cranial pathology in our paediatric age group, whereas chronic subdural haematoma is the most common cranial pathology in our elderly population. Trauma related cranial pathologies appear to be more common factors for cranial surgeries in rural settings relative to our urban settings.

Published: January 2025

Proficient reading comprehension is a fundamental ability to acquire language acquisition in English language learning. However, the level of reading comprehension among students in Indonesia remains inadequate because of paper-based learning methods. Integrating game-based media in teaching reading comprehension can hold great potential for enhancing reading comprehension. Thus, the study’s objective was to address whether QuizWhizzer, a game-based learning platform, can impact EFL students’ reading comprehension skills. The research employed a quasi-experimental approach, utilizing both experimental and control classes. This research recruited 45 seventh-grade students from a private Junior High School in Surabaya, selected using purposive sampling. They were assigned to the control class, which consisted of 23 students, and the experimental class, which consisted of 22 students. Data were collected through a standardized reading comprehension test consisting of 30 questions. The pre-test and post-test data were analyzed using inferential statistics, specifically an independent sample t-test. The findings indicated that QuizWhizzer successfully enhanced students’ reading skills. It was demonstrated that the post-test average score of the experimental group was 82.45, whereas the control group was 75.52. The 2-tailed significance value was 0.023, below the threshold of 0.05, meaning there was a notable difference in post-test scores between the two classes. Ultimately, utilizing QuizWhizzer media effectively improved students’ reading comprehension abilities significantly. The integrated digital tools that align with learning objectives can positively impact reading comprehension, particularly for students in middle school grades. The interactive and engaging nature of QuizWhizzer could help mitigate some of the challenges associated with digital reading environments. Therefore, it is advised that future researchers pursue this research to examine students’ attitudes regarding learning with QuizWhizzer media.

Authors: Jasti Pratima , Behera Surama Manjari , Behera Priyamadhaba
Published: January 2025

Teenage pregnancy remains a significant public health and social concern in India. This article examines the prevalence, contributing factors, and consequences of teenage pregnancy in India and explores the important ethical dilemma associated in context of pregnancy care in public health program and teenage pregnancy.  Key factors for the teenage pregnancy include early marriage, lack of education, poverty, limited contraceptive use, and cultural norms. Teenage pregnancies are associated with higher maternal and infant mortality, pregnancy complications, and poor socioeconomic outcomes. While national programs address maternal health broadly, there is a lack of targeted interventions for teenage pregnancies, creating an ethical dilemma where this vulnerable group is left exposed to adverse events and outcomes. Additionally, teenagers under 18 are often excluded from key support programs, like conditional cash transfers, leaving them without essential resources. This article highlights the need for comprehensive strategies, including improved adolescent sexual education, behavior change communication, and specific support programs for pregnant teenagers. Addressing teenage pregnancy requires a multifaceted approach targeting social determinants, healthcare access, and cultural attitudes.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
In the field of aviation, English language proficiency is essential for ensuring clear communication and safe flight operations. Effective assessment of pilots’ and air traffic controllers’ aviation English (AE) proficiency is, therefore, crucial. Conventional AE proficiency assessments, while effective, face limitations in scalability, objectivity, and feedback mechanisms. This article reviews the advancements and effectiveness of AI-driven assessment tools for AE proficiency testing, highlighting their potential to overcome these limitations. The review encompasses AI technologies such as automated speech recognition (ASR), natural language processing (NLP), and intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) in the light of the language proficiency requirements stated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Overall, the present review concludes that AI-driven tools provide accurate, reliable, and immediate feedback, significantly improving learners' AE proficiency. Despite challenges such as speech recognition errors and ethical concerns, these tools offer scalable and accessible solutions for large aviation training programs. The review concludes with recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need for continued innovation to address technological limitations and enhance adaptive learning environments. This review offers valuable insights for English for Specific Purposes (ESP) practitioners and stakeholders in the aviation industry.

Authors: Yener Barkın , Selcuk Hasan
Published: December 2024

This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted feedback mechanisms influence self-regulated learning (SRL) processes and grammatical accuracy among Turkish EFL learners focusing on the Present Perfect Tense.Conducted with 18 Turkish university preparatory students, this qualitative research employed pre- and post-writing tasks, interactive sessions with an AI chatbot, and an open-ended survey to explore learners’ experiences. The findings reveal that 72% of participants demonstrated improved grammatical accuracy, while many reported enhanced autonomy and confidence. The study highlights the role of AI chatbots in fostering SRL behaviours such as goal-setting, self-monitoring, and reflection through immediate and adaptive feedback mechanisms. By addressing a critical gap in EFL grammar instruction, this research contributes to the growing evidence of AI's potential to personalise learning and support the acquisition of complex grammatical structures. Despite the study's promising outcomes, limitations such as the small sample size and lack of long-term assessments are noted. Future research should focus on larger and more diverse samples, longitudinal evaluations, and advanced AI features to further enhance language learning experiences.

Published: January 2025

Protocols play a very important role in managing public complaints, especially in the context of public services. The protocol functions as a systematic guide in handling and responding to complaints submitted by the public. With a clear protocol, the complaint process becomes more efficient and transparent so that it can increase public trust in government agencies or related institutions. In its implementation, the protocol includes several stages starting from receiving complaints, verification, and continuation. Each step has standards and procedures that must be followed to ensure that each complaint is handled fairly and in a timely manner. Through good complaint management, it is hoped that a harmonious relationship can be created between the community and the government, as well as encouraging active community participation in the development process so that there is no miscommunication between government agencies and the community.
The politics of dismissal of the government in Pakistan and the role of the judiciary (1988-1997)
Authors: Rehman Ashfaq U. , Khan Taj Muharram
Published: December 2024

The judiciary’s role is significant in the political and constitutional development of a federal system, as the sustenance of democracy in such countries depends mainly on the independence of the judiciary. This study investigates the judiciary's role in complementing the dictatorial moves of the presidents and non-elected factions against the governments. The 8th Constitutional Amendment shifted the power balance to the President, thus establishing a quasi-parliamentary system. Due to the lack of power balance, the president and the prime minister did not work together to safeguard the national interest. The opposition factions always asked the President to dismiss the government. Instead of serving as a check on the government and providing stability to the democracy, the President used this power to dismantle the setup. In such cases, the judiciary has been asked to exercise the power of judicial review. The judgements of the judiciary in such cases had far-reaching effects on the stability of the political system. While passing the judgement, the judiciary looked at a powerful president rather than the principle of merit and justice. The judiciary upheld majority dismissals, mainly due to the nexus between the military and the President, which shows its weakness vis-à-vis other state institutions.

Published: December 2024

The ruins of Castle Pyšolec (Žďár nad Sázavou District) stand above the regulation reservoir of the Vír Dam on the River Svratka. Originally built as a residential castle by the lords of Pernštejn, the Moravian margraves were also important owners. The exact date of its foundation is not mentioned in any written sources and its history can be traced only to the 14th century. The castle was abandoned before 1464. A survey of the site adjacent to the slope below its northern pillar brought a large collection of finds reflecting life in the medieval castle. Most common in the ensemble are common utility ceramics of regional origin, as well as builders’ hardware, finds proving the use of horsepower and animal bones. More precious artefacts include coins and items of personal belongings, which are proof of the more privileged position of their holders.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the current state of research of luxury female jewellery in Moravia (Czech Republic) in the Middle Hillfort period (9th–10th century), which is also referred to by the name ‘Veligrad jewellery’. First, terminology issues and the state of the source base are summarised, after which the entire spectrum of ornaments (earrings, buttons, finger rings, etc.) and their typology is presented. A large section of the text is devoted to the results of archaeometric research and the contribution of experimental jewellery production. In terms of the provenance and method of creation of Veligrad jewellery, several aspects should be distinguished: where the raw materials for its production came from, where this production took place, whether the products of different workshops can be identified, to what extent the manufacturers were inspired by foreign models, etc. Subsequently, more recent research on chronology is summarised and the informative value of luxury jewellery for an understanding of Great Moravian society is discussed. In the final part, overlaps with research of luxury early medieval jewellery in the regions neighbouring Moravia are discussed.
Racism and Homosexual in "Go Tell It on The Mountain" Novel By James Baldwin
Authors: Usman Rahmi , Irmayani  , Said Ratna
Published: January 2025

This study explores the development of Baldwin's racial and homosexual identity in his novel Go Tell it on the Mountain. It examines how Baldwin's experiences as both a homosexual and an African American shaped his identity and his efforts to engage with society. Baldwin’s awareness of racism and homophobia in America positioned him as a public figure advocating for both black and LGBTQ+ communities, deeply influencing his writing. The study uses Henri Tajfel and John Turner's Social Identity Theory (SIT) to understand how Baldwin's identity was formed. The first stage explores Baldwin’s self-awareness as part of social groups like the black and homosexual communities. The second stage analyzes his shift from recognizing his identity to actively defining it. The third stage looks at the psychological and social impact of his group identity, highlighting how racism and homophobia shaped his work and the messages he conveyed. The study concludes that Baldwin’s identity was shaped by his environment and the double oppression he faced—both as a homosexual and as a black man. SIT provides a valuable framework for understanding how group affiliation influences individual identity and broader social dynamics.

Authors: Souza Antonio Reguete Monteiro de , Escurra Maria Fernanda
Published: December 2024

A proposta deste artigo é trazer elementos sobre a questão social no Brasil, atrelada ao fenômeno do racismo estrutural, para problematizar a existência de população em situação de rua, como segmento excedente da classe trabalhadora, e as respostas dadas através da Política de Assistência Social. Para isso, em um primeiro momento, é analisada a conformação do trabalho livre no Brasil, sua relação direta com o escravismo e a maneira como foi silenciado, chave da formação social brasileira. São assinalados aspectos peculiares do desenvolvimento do capitalismo no país, com o intuito de identificar como tais características estão presentes na própria Política de Assistência Social. Por fim, tratamos especificamente da população em situação de rua e da Política de Assistência Social na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, deixando transparecer o racismo estrutural nessas dimensões.
O crime socioambiental em Maceió decorrente da exploração de sal-gema
Authors: Pinho Luana Cavalcante
Published: December 2024

O artigo investiga o crime socioambiental decorrente da mineração de sal-gema em Maceió, Alagoas. Ampara-se em bibliografias que analisam a economia alagoana, com foco na indústria química do estado, além de documentos que tratam aspectos diversos do crime. Traça-se o histórico da implantação da indústria química alagoana, evidenciando que os riscos ambientais decorrentes da atividade foram ignorados, mesmo sendo conhecidos desde o princípio, o que resultou na necessidade de evacuar a região afetada, ocasionando o deslocamento de cerca de 60 mil pessoas. Analisam-se também os desdobramentos do Programa de Compensação Financeira e Apoio à Realocação, que indeniza os afetados diretamente pelo crime. Constatou-se que a população afetada majoritariamente buscou se fixar em Maceió e em sua região metropolitana, o que contribuiu para inflacionar os preços dos imóveis na cidade.
Movimento indígena e quilombola: lutas sociais e políticas públicas no meio rural amazônico
Authors: Ribeiro Patrício Azevedo , Cardoso Nascimento Maria Antonia
Published: December 2024

O artigo trata do movimento social de indígenas e quilombolas em relação à defesa e ao acesso a direitos, particularmente no âmbito das políticas públicas no meio rural amazônico, com destaque para a Assistência Social. A referência de campo é a realidade dos Sateré-Mawé e dos quilombolas territorializados na extensão do Rio Andirá, área rural do município de Barreirinha, na sub-região do Baixo Amazonas. No diálogo com lideranças constatou-se que no Rio Andirá permanecem as reivindicações pela terra e pelo território como pautas centrais, atrelando-se a esta outras lutas voltadas às políticas públicas na direção da questão étnico-racial. No caso da Assistência Social ainda vige um hiato entre o legal e o real, por isso reivindica-se uma Política que considere concretamente o fator amazônico, pautado nas relações e condições sociais dos povos, o que certamente exigirá mais participação popular.

GENGHIS KHAN'S LEGACY IN SAKHA CULTURE: MYTHS, NATIONAL IDENTITY, AND POST-SOVIET NARRATIVES
Authors: Ventsel Aimar
Published: December 2024

The Chingissid are descendants of Genghis Khan. In addition to the Mongolians, Kazakhs also consider themselves Chingizids, not by bloodline but because they were part of the Genghis Khan empire. Nevertheless, it is a little-known fact that the Sakha people in the Russian Far East see themselves as descendants of the great Mongol ruler. In my paper, I will explore historical myths, cemented with some ethnographical and archaeological facts, on how this narrative came to life. I also give an overview of how this myth (sometimes to absurdity) is used in theatre, cinema, and even in advertising. Ethnographically, Sakha people are different from other indigenous people of the region, and their interaction with nature is different; which has led to the creation of a different national narrative. I also explain how the history of being under Russian colonization contributed to such beliefs. At the end of my paper, I show how this myth was utilized in the post-Soviet period, to demonstrate Sakha superiority over other Indigenous groups in their republic, and how this is channeled into the ideology and activities of today’s Sakha nationalists.
1920 ЖЫЛДАРДАҒЫ ӘДІЛДІК ҮШІН КҮРЕСКЕНДЕР (Батыс Қазақстан облысы мысалында)
Authors: Zhumagulov Bolat , Khaidarov Eskairat
Published: December 2024

Мақалада XX ғасырдың 20-шы жылдарында Батыс Қазақстан өлкесінде әділдік үшін күрескен халық арасынан шыққан ерлердің іс-әрекеті және кеңес өкіметінің оларға қарсы аяусыз қуғын-сүргінді ұйымдастыруының тарихы архив деректеріне сүйене отырып шынайы тұрғыда қарастырылады. Өткен ғасырымыздың 20 жылдарында сол кездегі биліктің зорлықшыл саясатын мойындамай, қолдарына қару алып әділдік үшін күреске шыққандарды кеңес өкіметі «банды», «бандалық топтар» деп атап соңдарына түсіп, қуғын-сүргін ұйымдастырып, аяусыз жазалаумен, олардың көзін жоюмен айналысты. Халықтың ішінен шыққан мұндай жекелеген ерлер Қазақстанның барлық өңірінде кездесетін еді. Олардың мұндай әрекетке баруына биліктің өздері кінәлі болатын. Олар шындығында биліктің халыққа жасап отырған зорлық-зомбылығына, қысымшылығына қарсы тұрудың басқа жолын таппағандар еді. Қазақстанның барлық өңірінде жеңіске жетіп, толық орныққан Кеңестік билікке ашық қарсы шығу ол кезде оңай шаруа емес еді. Соған қарамастан олар өздерінің бас бостандықтары үшін қолдарына қару алып күреске шыққан еді. Боқай Сәбитов, Ерғали Аязбаев, Аманғали Кенжахметов, Құныскерей Қожахметов және басқалары халық аузында әділдік үшін басын өлімге тіккен күрескерлер деп есептеледі.
1920 жылдардағы кеңестік билік құрылымдарының Бөкей губерниясы (1925 жылдан Бөкей уезі) мен Орал губерниясы аумағындағы «бандылармен» күресіне қатысты Батыс Қазақстан облыстық мемлекеттік архивінен табылған тарихи құжаттарға алғаш рет талдау жасалды. Жұмыстың алдына қойған негізгі мақсаты Батыс Қазақстан аумағындағы 1920 жылдардағы кеңес өкіметіне қарсы азаттық үшін күрескен халықтың ішінен шыққан ерлердің қиын өмір жолдары мен тағдырларын зерттей отырып, олардың әрекеттеріне қазіргі күн тұрғысынан тарихи баға беру болып табылады.
Ғылыми-ізденіс жұмысының нәтижесінде Кеңестердің Бөкей губерниялық/уездік атқару комитетінің, Кеңестердің Орал губерниялық атқару комитетіне қарасты қылмыстық іздестіру бөлімінің, Біріккен мемлекеттік саяси басқарманың (ОГПУ) және басқа да құзырлы құрылымдардың 1920 жылдардағы Қазақстанның батыс өңірдегі «бандылармен» күресудегі қолданған шаралары жөніндегі архив құжаттары алғаш рет ғылыми айналымға енгізіліп отыр.

Поддержка государством диаспоры за рубежом изначально заключается в обучении ее представителей родному языку. Однако на протяжении последних 30 лет Независимости Республики Казахстан реализация данной поддержки все более затрудняется по причине отсутствия современного методического подхода к данному процессу обучения. На фоне своевременно принятых многочисленных нормативно-правовых актов, касающихся различных мер поддержки казахской диаспоры за рубежом, методика преподавания казахского языка объективно оказалась в ситуации острой необходимости разработки научных основ обучения казахскому языку как иностранному. Неготовность современной методики в разработке таких основ во многом снижает в целом эффективность любых других мер государственной поддержки этнических казахов, проживающих за рубежом. Актуальность исследования вызвана тем, что оценка мер государственной поддержки этнических казахов, проживающих за рубежом, указывает на уязвимость государства перед лицом возникновения серьезных рисков в оказании диаспоре дальнейшей поддержки. Основным методом исследования является разработка оценки уровня знания языка представителями казахской диаспоры за рубежом, а именно определение критериев и уровней владения казахским языком этническими казахами, проживающими за рубежом. Анализ полученных данных указывает на необходимость включения дополнительного специфического уровня, характерного для диаспоры, представители которой воспринимают казахский язык не столько как родной или второй, сколько иностранный («А0»). Авторами разработана система заданий относительно каждого языкового уровня (от («А0» до «С2»). При этом отдельно для каждого из данных уровней содержалось по 25 заданий. Каждое из соответствующих нумерации заданий было составлено таким образом, что позволяло выявить не только уровень знания и понимания казахского языка, но и уровень знания и понимания культуры казахского народа. Такая стратегия в разработке выбрана авторами не случайно, а с целью дальнейшего обучения этнических казахов-иностранцев, проживающих за рубежом, казахскому языку как иностранному через систему 25 этнокультурных единиц, выявленных, отобранных и представленных авторами в данной статье.
Kemâleddin Rumtaş Mescit ve Zaviyesine Ait Bir Vakfiye
Authors: Odabaşı Zehra , Öztürk Osman
Published: December 2024

Türkiye Selçukluları devlet idaresinde ordu komutanlığı yapmış olan Kemâleddin Rumtaş’ın hayatı hakkında dönemin kaynaklarındaki bilgiler yok denecek kadar azdır. Selçuklu kaynakları, belki de Kösedağ Savaşı’ndan sonra siyasi ya da askerî bir suç nedeniyle gözetim altına alınan Kemâleddin Rumtaş’tan bahsetmekten imtina etmişlerdir. Buna karşın vakfiyelerden kardeşleri ve inşa ettiği vakıflar hakkında bilgi edinmek mümkün olabilmektedir. Kemâleddin Rumtaş’ın kardeşleri Celâleddin Karatay ve Seyfeddin Karasungur da Selçuklu Devleti’nde önemli hizmetlerde bulunmuşlardır. Türkiye Selçuklu devlet adamı ve vakıf kurucularından Celâleddin Karatay, 1248 yılında kardeşi Kemâleddin Rumtaş’ın Konya’da inşa ettirmiş olduğu mescit ve zaviyeye köy, arazi, dükkân ve işletmelerden oluşan gelirler tahsis etmiştir. Bu vakfiye daha önce incelenmiş olsa da istifade edilebilecek bir sûreti tarafımızdan ilk defa bu çalışma ile ortaya konulmuştur. Zaviyesi bugüne ulaşmayan vakfın vakfiyesinde banisi, görevlileri ve gelir kaynakları hakkında önemli bilgiler verilmiştir. Gelir kaynaklarının bulundukları yerler sıralanırken Konya’daki çarşılar, fırınlar ile şehir dışındaki köy ve arazilerin adları ve sınırları ile birlikte verilmiştir. Bu durum, 13. yüzyılda Selçuklu şehirlerinin ekonomik hayatı ve topografyası ile kültür hayatına önemli katkılar sağlamıştır.

The diverse array of restorative materials utilized in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their aesthetic properties and color stability. This study aimed to evaluate the color stability of two different types of zirconia after immersion in Chlorhexidine and ANTIPLACA mouthwashes. We prepared 30 zirconia specimens (n = 15) as follows: Group 1 consisted of monolithic zirconia and group 2 consisted of KATANA™ YML Zirconia. Groups 1 and 2 were divided into three subgroups (n = 5). Each subgroup was immersed in one of the following three solutions: distilled water (control), CHX, or ANTIPLACA 0%Alcohol. We recorded the samples’ color values at baseline and after immersion according to the CIELab system by using a color spectrophotometer operated by an experienced operator. All data were collected and analyzed using Graph Pad Instat (Graph Pad, Inc.) software for windows. Irrespective of group totally it was found that immersion solutions significantly affected on mean values as revealed by two-way ANOVA test (p=<0.0001< 0.05) where (0% Alcohol > CHX ≥ DW). Mouthwashes staining had a marked effect on the color of the tested zirconia materials. The color change was material and staining solution-dependent, with Monolithic Zirconia showing the greatest color stability.
Osmanlı Dönemi ve Günümüz Türkiye’sinde Sorumluluk Eğitiminin Karşılaştırmalı İncelenmesi
Authors: Yalçın Ali
Published: December 2024

Bu araştırmanın temel amacı, Ahmet Mithat Efendi'nin "ana babanın evlat üzerindeki hukuk ve vezaifi" (1899) isimli eseri temel alınarak, Osmanlı dönemi ile günümüz Türkiye'sinde sorumluluk eğitimini karşılaştırmalı bir yaklaşımla incelemektir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma doküman incelemesi odaklı nitel bir araştırmadır. Veri toplama sürecinde Ahmet Mithat Efendi’nin eseri, kapsamlı bir şekilde incelenmiş ve eserde ebeveynlerin çocukların sorumluluklarıyla ilgili bilgileri hem betimsel hem de içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Bu çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre Ahmet Mithat Efendi’nin görüşlerinde anlaşıldığı üzere, ebeveynlerin çocuklarına sadece fiziksel bakım sağlamakla kalmayıp aynı zamanda onların ahlaki gelişimlerini desteklemek için de bu konuda sorumluluk taşımaları gerektiğini açıklamıştır. Bu yaklaşım, modern dünyamızda görülen ve ebeveynlerin çocuklarına yönelik sorumlulukları arasında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Ahmet Mithat'ın görüşlerinden yola çıkarak, ebeveynlerin sorumlulukları Osmanlı dönemi ve modern Türkiye bağlamında üç ana kategori altında değerlendirilmiştir: “ebeveynlerin çocukların sağlığına yönelik sorumlulukları, ebeveynlerin çocuklarına yönelik genel sorumlulukları ve ebeveyn-okul iş birliği sorumlulukları” şeklinde ortaya çıkmıştır. Ahmet Mithat Efendi, ebeveynlerin sorumluluklarını önem derecesine göre sınıflandırırken babanın çocuklar üzerindeki hak ve sorumluluklarının daha fazla olduğunu belirtmesi dikkat çekicidir. Ayrıca Ahmet Mithat, annenin eğitim seviyesinin, çocuğun gelişimi üzerindeki etkisini vurgulayarak, “iyi evlat yetiştirmek için iyi valideler yetiştirilmelidir” ifadesini kullanmış, onun bu yaklaşımı, annenin eğitim düzeyi ve pedagojik bilgisi, çocuğun eğitimi arasında doğrudan bir bağlantı olduğunu belirtmesi son derece önemli bir tespittir. Nihayetinde çocukların sorumluluk bilinci kazanmasında toplum, aile ve okul ekseninde olduğu belirlenmiştir. MEB 2024 Türkiye yüzyılı maarif modelinde erdem-değer-eylem çerçevesinde bulunan sorumluluk değerinin kazandırılmasına yönelik yaklaşımda, sorumluluğun bireyin kendisine, topluma, aile ve çevreye yönelik olacak şekilde yapılandırılması, Ahmet Mithat Efendi’nin bu eserindeki görüşlerle benzerdir. Ancak Ahmet Mithat’ın eserindeki bilgilerden anlaşıldığı üzere dönemin Osmanlı dünyasında çocukların sorumluluklarında dini ve ahlaki değerlerin aktarımı büyük önem taşımaktadır. Nihayetinde eserindeki açıklamalarda cinsiyet rollerinin belirgin olduğu göze çarpmaktadır. Ancak günümüz Türkiye’sinde eğitimde tüm çocuklar için fırsat eşitliği sağlamak ve cinsiyet ayrımcılığını ortadan kaldırmak, temel farklılıklar arasındadır.

This study compared the effectiveness of video-based learning and concrete manipulatives on numeracy skills development in grade 11 students. Using a quasi-experimental design, two groups received instruction on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division – one via video, the other using manipulatives. Pre- and post-tests measured numeracy skill gains. Results showed a significant advantage for the manipulative group, no significant difference. This suggests the importance of hands-on activities, the need for diverse instructional methods. Further research should explore research direction, a long-term effect for diverse learning styles.
