Authors: Warniyati Warniyati , Triatmadja Radianta , Yuwono Nur , Bangguna David S. V. L
Published: January 2019

Experimental researches on the tsunami in the laboratory have been conducted using various methods. The use and techniques of tsunami wave generator depend on the objective of the tsunami observation to be conducted. When the objective is the scouring at the downstream of a seawall, the use of a short flume with control discharge seems to be appropriate. A valve with a mechanic controller was equipped to control the discharge from a reservoir into the flume. A numerical simulation of discharge into the flume and the overflow above the seawall was conducted to determine the dimension of the tsunami flume and its generator before construction. The experiments were conducted to simulate the hydrograph of tsunami overflow above the seawall model. The numerical hydrograph is found to be comparable with the experimental hydrograph. This indicates that the tsunami wave generator is capable of simulating tsunami hydrograph and ready for further use of simulations.
Empirical Analysis on Local Farmers Perceptions towards Overseas Farmland Investments in Ethiopia
Authors: Tefera Getamesay , Lu Prof. Xinhai
Published: January 2019

In the past few decades there has been growing interest among multinational companies towards investment in overseas farmland. The whole process and result of such investments has become a hot topic of debate among scholars, media experts, social activists, and policy practitioners. The huge wave of overseas large scale farm land investment has generated conflicting views among scholars and developmental policy practitioners regarding its significance. Ethiopia has been in the spotlight in this regard as the government was avowed to attract investment in farmland and, in return, many foreign companies flocked to acquire large tracts of farmland, often dispossessing the local community. In this study we investigate the perceptions of local framers on overseas farmland investments in Ethiopia using a cross sectional survey data. We applied descriptive and inferential statistical analysis using SPSS. The findings indicate that out of the 440 participants covered by the survey 53.6 percent of the respondents were not happy with the activity of the investors’ in their local area. The correlation results indicate that there is significant positive relationship between the age, family Size, and off farm employment of the respondents with that of their perception, whereas there is negative correlation between migration statuses, educational level and farm land size with that of their satisfaction level. Finally the logistic result indicates perception of local farmers has significant relationship with age (0.001) and of farm employment of the respondents (0.0000) with P value less than 1 percent. Besides Migration status (.036), family size (.044), educational level (.004), income level (.044) and farm land size (.046) has significant association with the perception of the participants with P value of less than 5 and 10 percent, whereas sex (.537) and marital status (.843) of the respondents have no significant relationship with their perception.
La precariedad laboral por grupos ocupacionales en el Estado de México, 2005 y 2015
Authors: Gaxiola Robles Linares Sergio Cuauhtémoc , Lozano Keymolen Daniel , Montoya Arce Bernardino Jaciel , Román Sánchez Yuliana Gabriela
Published: January 2019

En este artículo se analiza la precariedad laboral por grupos ocupacionales de  trabajadores asalariados en el Estado de México, en 2005 y 2015. Se utilizó la técnica estadística del análisis por conglomerados, para agrupar a dichos trabajadores en cuatro grupos de precariedad: alto, medio, bajo y no precario, con base en la Encuesta Nacional de Ocupación y Empleo del segundo trimestre de 2005 y 2015. La población objetivo se restringe a los trabajadores asalariados, y el análisis de la precariedad laboral se realiza con variables generales, sin profundizar en casos específicos, a través de la metodología cualitativa. La originalidad aquí es que el análisis de la precariedad se hizo en un contexto regional, y también que es un estudio comparativo entre 2005 y 2015. Uno de los resultados más relevantes es la concentración de los trabajadores asalariados en los grupos extremos: precario alto y no precario, lo que muestra la polarización laboral en el mercado de trabajo del estado.

Uso, omisión e interpretación del artículo definido en hispanohablantes de herencia
Authors: Alamillo Olivas Rosalva Angélica
Published: January 2019

¿Por qué los hablantes de español como lengua de herencia presentan variabilidad en el uso del artículo definido (ArtD) en español? Se ha establecido que las construcciones nominales definidas (Las mesas grandes) y escuetas (Mesas grandes) tienen diferente interpretación y distribución en inglés y español (Chierchia, 1998; Gelman & Raman, 2003; Dayal, 2004; Montrul & Ionin, 2010, 2012; entre otros). El objetivo es investigar la transferencia de los aspectos sintáctico (uso vs omisión del ArtD) y semántico (interpretación genérica vs interpretación específica) en sintagmas nominales en la escritura de hispanohablantes de herencia. Se analizaron ciento sesenta y cuatro composiciones que presentaban nombres plurales contables y singulares no contables. Se encontró transferencia del inglés al español en cuatro niveles de competencia lingüística, pero esta disminuye conforme avanza el dominio de la lengua de herencia. Finalmente, se discute cuál de las dos propiedades es más susceptible a superar las diferencias entre las lenguas.
Três categorias que marcaram a Pedagogia do Oprimido
Authors: Antunes Angela Biz , Gadotti Moacir , Padilha Paulo Roberto
Published: January 2019

Este ensaio, escrito a seis mãos, trata de uma difícil escolha: dentre os inúmeros conceitos e categorias desenvolvidos por Paulo Freire em sua obra máxima, Pedagogia do oprimido, os autores tiveram de selecionar apenas três e sobre eles desenvolver uma reflexão que permitisse conhecer, um pouco mais em profundidade, os fundamentos do legado de nosso educador maior. Foram escolhidos os conceitos de “diálogo”, “liberdade” e “oprimido” que, no entendimento dos autores são princípios fundantes na obra de Freire, na medida em que eles seriam retomados e reinventados, pelo próprio Freire, nos novos contextos em que produziu suas demais obras.

Authors: Zimuto Caroline , Sandada Maxwell , Chuchu Tinashe , Ndoro Tinashe
Published: January 2019

The purpose of the research was to examine the impact of environmental turbulence on product innovations in small to medium enterprises (SMEs). In the study environmental turbulence consisted of five dimensions namely, supplier turbulence, technological turbulence, market turbulence, regulatory turbulence and competitive intensity. A cross-sectional quantitative research design was adopted in the study. The study sample was drawn from a pool of 3,000 SMEs both unregistered and registered with the Ministry of Small and Medium Enterprises in Harare, Zimbabwe. In the study, a total of 200 completed surveys were obtained and analysed. To analyse the research data SPSS23 was utilised. Regression analysis was carried out to establish the cause-and-effect relationship between the independent and dependent variables in the study. The findings of the study showed that technology turbulence and competitive intensity had a statistically significant positive impact on product innovation. Market turbulence was noted as having a statistically significant negative impact on product innovativeness. The main implications established in the study were that SMEs should introduce mechanisms to manage and mitigate market, supplier and regulatory turbulence to ensure that their levels of product innovativeness remain positive.
When Performance Management Fails: Attitudes and Perceptions of Staff at a Higher Education Institution
Authors: Mntonintshi Odwa , Mtembu Vuyokazi
Published: January 2019

The implementation of Performance Management (PM) in an institution can come with barriers that affect its success rate. The aim of the study was to assess the perceptions and attitudes of staff towards the implementation of PM at a higher education institution. The research was undertaken at a higher education institution (HEI) in South Africa where employee performance suffered as a result of PM implementation challenges within the institution. The research study was exploratory and employed mixed methods, that is; quantitative and qualitative research methods. A survey questionnaire was administered to groups of university employees drawn through stratified random sampling. The strata groups were academics, administrators, and senior executive managers. Hundred questionnaires were distributed with eighty-three questionnaires returned. In qualitative research, a heterogeneous focus group interview was scheduled which involved twelve people. Results from the questionnaires indicated that respondents perceived PM process as lacking transparency, unaligned to employee rewards and development lacks objectivity from appraisers and poorly implemented due to lack of training for its users. Key themes that emerged from the focus group interviews revealed that the majority of participants perceived PM as a management punitive tool that is not developmental in orientation, a political tool that lacks objectivity and benefits only the employer. Furthermore, they articulated that it was not aligned with their rewards and development. It was therefore recommended that; proper design and implementation of the PM system is vital, fairness, training of all parties involved, moderation of results and providing effective feedback should be employed in PM, effective communication, transparency, consultation and shared benefits for all participants are key to ensuring a broadly supported PM within the institution.
Modelling Financial Contagion in the South African Equity Markets Following the Subprime Crisis
Authors: Niyitegeka Olivier , Tewari Dev D.
Published: January 2019

This paper used wavelet analysis and Dynamic Conditional Correlations model derived from the Multivariate Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (MGARCH-DCC) to investigate the possible presence of financial contagion in the South African equity market in the wake of the subprime crisis that occurred in the United States. The study uses Dornbusch, Park and Claessensâ€™s (2000) broader definition which asserts that financial contagion only takes place if cross-correlation between two markets is relatively low during the tranquil period, and that a crisis in one market results in a substantial increase cross-market correlation. Using wavelet analysis, the study found high levels of correlation during the subprime financial crisis in both smaller and longer timescales. In the former, high correlation was identified as financial contagion, whereas in the latter it was found to indicate co-movement due to financial fundamentals. The high correlation was identified for small scales 3, 4 and 5 that range from a week to one month indicates the presence of contagion. The study also used the MGARCH-DCC model to compare the cross-market correlation between the SA and the US markets, during a â€˜pre-crisisâ€™ and â€˜crisisâ€™ period. The study used data for the period between January 2005 and December 2007 for the â€˜pre-crisisâ€™ period and that for the period from January 2008 to December 2014 for the â€˜crisisâ€™ period. The results indicate cross-market linkages only during the crisis period; hence, it was concluded that cross-market correlation during the period of financial turmoil in the US was the result of financial contagion.

ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY SURVEY FOR GROUNDWATER POTENTIAL AND ESTIMATION OF CLAY DEPOSIT IN ARAGBA-OKPE, OKPE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, DELTA STATE NIGERIA
Authors: Otutu Oseji Julius , Egbai James Chucks
Published: January 2019

Electrical resistivity survey employing Vertical Electrical Sounding techniques of Schlumberger arrangement were carried out at seven (7) fairly distributed stations with 154 Vertical Electrical Soundings in Aragba-Okpe. The data obtained from the field were plotted on a log-log graph and interpreted qualitatively by inspection and quantitatively by partial curve matching. The results obtained were improved with the aid of computer iteration using the Winresist Software to delineate the thickness and depth of each layers as well as the resistivity value. These layers were grouped together in to geologic depth intervals known as the Geoelectric sections for interpretations. Using knowledge of both the local geology of Aragba-Okpe and the resistivity of the layers, the Geoelectric sections were interpreted. The study revealed that boreholes for sustainable water supply could be drilled to a depth of 30 m in Aragba-Okpe, However, the fifth layer within Aragba Primary School, Aragba Secondary School and Oviri Aragba Road (VES 1, 5 and 7) are the best locations for sustainable water supply
The overburden protective capacities of the aquifer in Aragba-Okpe were evaluated using the Dar-zarrouk parameters. The result also revealed poor aquifer protection ratings of less than 0.1 in all the stations. The groundwater in Aragba-Okpe is therefore not protected and prone to contamination in the event of pollution.

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE - THERAPY AND REHABILITATION
Authors: Wanot Bartosz , Stelmach Anna , Biskupek-Wanot Agnieszka
Published: January 2019

The basis of pharmacological treatment are bronchodilatory drugs, which include sympathomimetic and anticholinergic drugs. Another group of drugs dilating the bronchi  is methylxanthines. In the treatment of stable course of COPD, the most common way of administering drugs is by inhalation route. Antibiotic treatment is used when the infection is the cause of COPD intensification. In patients with COPD, controlled oxygen therapy is also used. The methods of COPD surgical treatment include: (1) surgical lung volume reduction (IZOP), that is the removal of the most altered emphysema, (2) emphysema excision (bulelectomy), that is excision of emphysema which helps lung function and reduces dyspnoea, (3) transplantation of lungs is performed in patients with very advanced COPD. Respiratory rehabilitation is a supplement to pharmacological treatment. In order to implement the rehabilitation, rehabilitation programmes developed by medical centers and other healthcare institutions have been created. The current rehabilitation consists of several elements: (1) education, (2) physical exercise, (3) behavioral interaction.
A study of the effect of complexes of 3d-metal ions with gluconic acid on synthesis of cytokines in experimental immunodeficiency
Authors: Knyazeva Olga A. , Urazaeva Sabina I.
Published: January 2019

Aim. Evaluation of the influence of synthesized gluconates of 3d-metals on production of cytokines in blood serum of mice with experimental immunodeficiency.
Materials and Methods. The effect of complex compounds of bivalent 3d-metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn) with glucuronic acid on production of cytokines: interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, interferon-γ (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in blood serum of mice with experimental immunodeficiency induced by a single intraperitoneal administration of cyclophosphamide at the dose of 50 mg/kg was studied. 3d-Metal gluconates (10-2mol/l) were orally introduced for comparison with immunostimulatory drug «Licopid®» and calcium gluconate (doses were calculated according to the instructions) daily for two weeks, starting from the second day after the injection of cyclophosphamide. Levels of cytokines were determined by immunoenzyme analysis.
Results. On the 16th day after the induction of immunodeficiency, levels of cytokines in blood serum of mice decreased: IL-1β – by 75.0%, IL-6 – by 65.2%, IFN-γ – by 61.6%, TNF-α –by 55.6% (p<0.05). Stimulatory effect of gluconates of 3d-metals on synthesis of cytokines depended on the used metal: the effect of MnGl, FeGl, CoGl, CuGl was lower than of licopid. ZnGl produced a weaker effect than licopid only on synthesis of IL-6, and equal effect on secretion of IL-1β and IFN-γ, and the highest effect on TNF-α (p<0.05 for all comparisons). Calcium gluconate did not produce any significant effect on the content of cytokines.
Conclusion. The obtained results show a significant role of 3d-metals in maintenance of immune homeostasis, which, taking into account the literature data, may be explained by their action through activation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-κB which controls expression of cytokines.

Published: January 2019

Aim. Comparative characteristics of the level of alimentary admission of lycopene and analysis of the frequency of inclusion of the main sources of lycopene in the diet of students of different age and sex.
Materials and methods. To study the frequency of inclusion in the diet of food sources of lycopene and its quantitative assessment, specially designed questionnaires were used, in which products with a significant content of lycopene were included.
Results. Comparative analysis of the levels of lycopene did not reveal significant differences between the percentages of men and women (φemp< φcr at P<0.05) in the groups with high level of intake. In all gender groups, the leading sources of lycopene are fresh tomatoes, ketchup and tomato-containing fast food products (pizza, lasagna, pasta and sandwiches). Evaluation of the results of the frequency method shows that more often than other sources in the weekly diet of students, regardless of gender, there are fresh tomatoes, ketchup and sandwiches. Analysis of the levels of lycopene intake in 1st and 5th year students did not reveal significant differences in all groups of consumption (φemp< φcr at P<0.05), except for the group with the intake of lycopene in the amount of 50.0-74.9% of the recommended, which is dominated by 5th year students. Sources of lycopene in students of different age groups do not differ - the main contribution to the recommended level is made by fresh tomatoes, ketchup and tomato-containing fast food products.
Conclusions. In 39.8% of students, due to the presence in the diet of fresh tomatoes, ketchup and tomato-containing fast food products, the recommended daily intake of lycopene was achieved. At the same time, 29.6% of the respondents did not have registered sources of lycopene in their diet; and 16.7% of the respondents included them in the diet in an insufficient amount, thereby ensuring the intake of lycopene in the amount of less than half of the recommended level. Most often, the weekly diet included fresh tomatoes, ketchup and tomato sandwiches. Watermelon, pink and red grapefruit, persimmon in the diets of the most of participants were absent.
Effectiveness of mediastinal lymphadenectomy in surgical treatment of generalized destructive pulmonary tuberculosis
Authors: Papkov Aleksandr V. , Giller Dmitriy B. , Dobin Vitaliy L.
Published: January 2019

Bronchopleural complications after pneumonectomy in generalized destructive tuberculosis are associated with the presence of intrathoracic lymph nodes (ITLN) with caseous alterations.
Aim. To improve the effectiveness of surgical treatment of patients with generalized destructive pulmonary tuberculosis by development and introduction of the method of mediastinal lymphadenectomy in tuberculous lesion of mediastinal lymph nodes.
Materials and Methods. Results of surgical treatment of 515 patients with generalized destructive pulmonary tuberculosis were analyzed. In 274 of them the surgical treatment was supplemented with mediastinal lymphadenectomy (the main group). In the control group (241 patients) only resection was performed without removing lymph nodes.
Results. Analysis of the postoperative course of the disease in both groups of patients (with mediastinal lymphadenectomy and without it) showed that bronchopleural complications occurred in 7 (2.6%) cases in the main group and in 30 (12.4%, p<0.05) cases in the control group. In the main group exacerbation of the specific process was noted in 1 patient (0.4%), and in comparison group in 9 patients (3.7%, p<0.05). Elimination of macroscopically altered ITLN in widespread destructive tuberculosis permitted to reduce the complications rate in the postoperative period by 64.8% (p<0.05). Indications to removal of IHLN included: a) enlargement of ITLN (>2 sm) and in duration; b) fusion with the surrounding tissues, softening of the node tissue in its caseous melting, c) existence of yellowish or whiter in comparison with the surrounding tissue inclusions in the node being manifestations of tuberculous granuloma. In histological, cytological and bacteriological examination, these macroscopic signs in 97% of cases indicated active tuberculosis of mediastinal lymph nodes.
Conclusions. In 97% of cases, widespread destructive secondary pulmonary tuberculosis runs with an active specific process in mediastinal lymph nodes which makes it reasonable to perform a selective lymphadenectomy in such group of patients. Secondary damage of different groups of intrathoracic lymph nodes by the active process depended on localization of lung destructions and occurred along the routes of lymph drainage from them. Reliable signs of active tuberculous of ITLN include: more than 2.0 cm lymph node enlargement, in duration, periadenitis, fluctuation and in homogeneity. Removal of macroscopically altered intra-thoracic lymph nodes in widespread destructive pulmonary tuberculosis permits to reduce the rate of complications in the postoperative period by 64.8%.

Published: January 2019

Background. Currently, in the study of prostate cancer, much attention is given to specific molecular patterns reflecting the biological potential of the tumor. Of most interest is analysis of the proteins of chimeric genes in a tumor.
Aim of study is analysis of peculiarities of ERG and PBOV1 proteins expression in tumor cells and correlation of them with the prognostic parameters of the disease in patients.
Materials and Methods. The group of study consisted of 85 patients diagnosed with prostatic carcinoma (stage II-III of the disease, T1-3N1-2M0), after radical prostatectomy. No specific preoperative treatment was given. Histological examination was conducted using a standard method, and immunohistochemical one – with use of an automatic stainer. Morphological characteristics of the tumor, of distant regional lymph nodes and of seminal vesicles were evaluated. Correlation between the histological and expression parameters of tumor and occurrence of distant metastases was studied.
Results. Correlation was found between parameters of expression of the studied proteins with such variant of tumor progression as hematogenic metastasis. A higher percentage of expression of ERG and PBOV1markers in cells of prostate carcinoma correlates with a lower degree of tumor differentiation and with a poor prognosis for the course of the disease.
Conclusion. The results of the conducted research demonstrate significance of ERG and PBOV1 proteins as additional prognostic factors in patients with prostate carcinoma, and probably may be used for evaluation of prognosis of the disease in selection of the management tactics for the given category of patients.

Despite a decline of the incidence of alcohol dependence in the population, in Russia about 15-50% of families can say that they have encountered the problem of an alcoholized parent. Adult children of alcoholics (ACAs) are a fairly extensive, highly autoaggressive stratum of society. This group of people is the most dangerous in terms of the frequency of development in them of various kinds of addictions, as well as the likelihood of committing a suicidal attempt. The purpose of this review was to present modern ideas about the suicidality of adult children of alcoholics, their socio-cultural characteristics, personality and psychological characteristics; to demonstrate the degree of influence of addictive parental figures on the antivitality of offspring and its formation. The analysis of English and Russian literature is carried out. We have convincingly demonstrated that the ACAs represents a group with an elevated, relative to normative population, autoaggressiveness, inclination to parasuicidal patterns, with difficulties in building relationships with the society and finding a place in it. Conclusions were made about the inadequacy of the studies conducted, the lack of accurate data on the transgenerational mechanisms of autoaggressive transmission to offspring, the factors influencing the heterogeneity of the ACAs a population-species group, the need to take into account the gender of both parents and the ACAs themselves.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to establish the age and gender-specific lateral cephalometric standards for Mongolian children with normal occlusion. Methods: A total of 541 children between 6 and 15 years of age were selected based on the normal occlusion criteria. Lateral cephalograms of each subject were scanned and analyzed with the use of WinCeph version 11.0 software package. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were calculated for all measured variables. Independent t-tests were performed to assess the intergender differences. Results: Cephalometric angular measurements remain largely constant, whereas most cephalometric linear measurements change with advancing age, such as anterior facial height (N-Ans, Ans-Me), hard palatal length (Ans-Pns) mandibular ramus height (Cd-Go), mandibular body length (Cd-Gn) were increasing significantly by dental age in both gender. Gender differences were not statistically significant for any of the angular measurement at ages studied, but linear measurements of male subjects had larger average values than female subjects. Conclusion: Our results showed that linear cephalometric dimension of the hard tissue was gender-dependent. Therefore, gender-specific differences of craniofacial distances should be taken into account during diagnosis and treatment planning. The results from this study can be used as reference values for 6-15 years old children of Mongolia.

Yapılan çalışma genel anlamda, sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının
problem çözme süreçleri ile ilgili durumlarını ortaya koymayı hedeflemekle beraber
özelde, problem çözme sürecinde kullandıkları stratejilerin belirlenmesi
amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesinin eğitim fakültesi sınıf
öğretmenliği ana bilim dalı üçüncü sınıfında öğrenim gören 126 katılımcı ile nitel
olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kendilerine sorulan ilkokul düzeyine uygun rutin
bir problemin çözümünün incelenmesi ile elde edilen veriler Polya’nın problem
çözme sürecinin basamakları doğrultusunda betimsel olarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde
edilen sonuçlar, sınıf öğretmeni adaylarının çoğunlukla tahmin-kontrol,
sistematik liste yapma ve ilkokul düzeyine uygun olmayan denklem kullanma
stratejisini kullandıklarını, bir kısmının ise muhakeme etme ve diyagram
kullanma stratejilerini tercih ettiklerini göstermektedir.
Türkiye’de Merkeziyetçiliğe Karşı Özerklik Kıskacında Eğitim Programları: Sorunlar ve Öneriler

Published: January 2019

Türkiye’de
öğretim programları sıklıkla yenilense de, araştırmalar öğretmenlerin programlara
bağlı kalamadığını gösterdiğinden, neden hâlâ aşırı merkeziyetçi bir anlayışla
program tasarladığımız tartışmaya değer bir konudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı
eğitimde program kontrolü, öğretmen özerkliği ve program uyarlamaları
arasındaki ilişkileri belirleyerek, öğretim programlarının öğretmenler
tarafından benimsenmesi ve etkili bir şekilde uygulanmasını-uyarlanmasını
sağlamaya yönelik öneriler geliştirmektir. İlgili uluslararası ve ulusal
alanyazın birlikte değerlendirildiğinde; merkezi sınavlarda başarıya odaklanan
eğitim programları doğrultusunda öğretmenlerin programları harfiyen
uygulamalarının beklendiği, özerkliklerinin oldukça sınırlandığı ve bunun
sonucunda da programların nasıl ve niçin uyarlandığının arka plana düştüğü
belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada bu ilişkilerin Türkiye’deki durumuna ilişkin
kanıtlar; tarihi, politik ve sosyo-kültürel temelleriyle ele alınarak, sıkça
yenilenen programların kâğıt üstünde kalması ya da örtük uyarlamalar
yapılmasını önlemek üzere bazı öneriler sunulmaktadır.
2012 ve 2017 Bilişim Teknolojileri ve Yazılım Dersi Öğretim Programlarının Karşılaştırılması
Authors: KARAMAN Güler , KARAMAN Umut
Published: January 2019

Teknolojinin ilerlemesi ve çağa ayak uydurma gibi nedenlerle
birçok alanda gerçekleşen toplumsal değişimler eğitim alanında da kendini
göstermektedir. Eğitim tarihimize baktığımızda zaman zaman ders programlarında
değişikliklere gidildiği görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı (MEB)
Talim ve Terbiye Kurulu Başkanlığı, 2017 yılında Ortaokul Bilişim Teknolojileri
ve Yazılım (BTY) Dersi Öğretim Programı’nda yenilemeye gitmiştir. Bilindiği
üzere program geliştirme dinamik bir süreçtir. Yeni programların, önceki programlar
ile karşılaştırılması, araştırmacılara, alan uzmanlarına ve öğretmenlere yeni
programın durumu ve niteliği hakkında bir perspektif sunar. Bu çalışma 2017–2018
eğitim öğretim yılında uygulamasına başlanan yeni Bilişim Teknolojileri ve
Yazılım Dersi öğretim programını değişik yönleriyle incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.  Araştırmada elde edilen verilerde doküman
incelemesi tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu inceleme yapılırken programın önceki
programla yaklaşım, genel amaç, öğrenme alanları, kazanım ve ölçme
değerlendirme yaklaşımı açısından karşılaştırılması yapılmış, programın uygulamasında
yaşanabilecek sorunlar ele alınmıştır. Bilişim Teknolojileri ve Yazılım Dersi
2012 ve 2017 öğretim programları bu araştırmanın veri kaynağını oluşturmaktadır.
Araştırmanın sonucunda standart tabanlı öğretim programı anlayışından
vazgeçildiği ve tüm sınıf düzeyleri için ayrı ayrı üniteler ve kazanımlar oluşturulduğu
görülmüştür. 2017 Bilişim Teknolojileri ve Yazılım Dersi öğretim programıyla
birlikte bilişim teknolojileri ve yazılım dersinin genel amaçlarının daha iyi
ifade edildiği, içeriğin net olarak belirlenerek okullar arasındaki öğrenme farklılıklarının
ortadan kaldırılmaya çalışıldığı, bilişim teknolojileri sınıfı olmayan ve alt
yapı problemi yaşayan okullar için kağıt-kalem etkinlikleri ve robotik kitler
vb. farklı yaklaşımlar kullanılabileceği önerilerek ders işlenişinin öğretmene
bırakıldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca 2017 Bilişim Teknolojileri ve Yazılım Dersi öğretim
programında dersin 1-4. sınıflar için öğrenci ve veli istekleri doğrultusunda,
öğrencilerin hazır bulunuşluk ve öğretmenlerin bireysel beceri düzeylerine
bağlı olarak serbest etkinlik ders saati içerisinde uygulanabileceği belirtilmiştir.
1-4. sınıflar için dersin seçmeli ve uzman öğretmeni tarafından verilmeyecek
olmasının, programın uygulamasında yaşanabilecek sorunlardan en önemlisi olduğu
düşünülmektedir.

Bu araştırmanın amacı ortaokul öğretmenlerinin merkezi
sınavlar hakkındaki görüşlerini belirlemeye yönelik olarak geliştirilen bir
ölçeği Türkçe’ye uyarlayarak ulusal alan yazına kazandırmak ve aynı zamanda
öğretmenlerin merkezi sınavlara ilişkin görüşlerinde cinsiyet, mesleki kıdem ve
branş değişkenleri açısından farklılık olup olmadığını incelemektir. Bu kapsamda
Genç (2005) tarafından geliştirilen “Merkezi Sınavlara Yönelik Görüşler Ölçeği”
Türkçe ’ye uyarlanarak, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın
çalışma grubunu bir ilin merkez ilçe ortaokullarında görev yapan 356 ortaokul
branş öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma sonucunda, ölçeğin orijinal halindeki
iki faktörlü yapı ile Türkçe formundaki ve Türk öğretmenler örneklemindeki yapı,
uyumlu olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ölçek orijinal halinde olduğu gibi 12 maddeden
ve iki faktörden oluşmaktadır.
