The aim of the study is to bring a critical perspective to the use of projection and copy technologies, which have become widespread and degenerate by developing technology, in the art of painting. The data were evaluated by methods such as literature review, sample analysis, observation and experience. Projection technologies and the history of the camera obscura were examined. The effects of technologies on the art of painting have been questioned: reflection technologies such as photography, video, projection; printing technologies as blueprints and digital printing. The technical process on the basis of reproduction by projection consists of tracing the image and its repetition. Thanks to the printing technologies, this is not even necessary. This method which undermines the creative process, weakening hand-brain-eye coordination, perception development, imagination and composition design; can bring impersonality and uniformity. Wide range of uses and causes of projection technologies, concept confusion and discourses, the dimension that threatens creativity and mastery , encouraging use to support creativity; the subject has been interpreted on the basis of art ethics and aesthetics. One of our most important problems as a country is that we cannot be productive and creative enough to compete with the world market. The origins of the gradual decrease in the importance given to art and creative thinking and the loss of inventive ability can be found in the wrongness of education and cultural policies. We need research and studies that try to bring creativity and inventiveness to the fore, not imitation, and prioritize creativity in art and education through art.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between the opinions of secondary school teachers about effective teacher characteristics and their reasons for choosing the teaching profession. In this context, the study first intends to develop a measurement tool to identify effective teacher characteristics. The study is of a correlational research type. Data were collected from three different groups of secondary school teachers. The effective teacher characteristics inventory and the choosing teaching profession as a career scale were used to collect data. The data were analysed using the exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, Cronbach Alpha internal consistency analysis and multiple linear regression. Given the limitations of the study, groups from which data were obtained, the results of the analyses have shown that the &quot;Effective Teacher Characteristics Inventory&quot; is able to make valid and reliable measurements for effective teacher characteristics under four independent scales (e.g., subject matter knowledge, teaching skills, personality characteristics and professional development). The multiple linear regression has demonstrated that the predictor variables in the model, subject matter knowledge, personality characteristics, and professional development are positive predictors for teaching skills. However, reasons for choosing the profession is not a significant predictor for teaching skills of teachers.

With the developing technology educating students free from misconceptions, making sense of their learnings and using them in daily life are primarily aimed. This research is designed not only for teaching &quot;work, energy and power&quot; concepts and the relationships among them but also for investigating the effects of the teaching on students' achievements under the POE method. 6 students from the 9th grade studying at a private Anatolian High School chosen through easily accessible case sampling method, constituted the sample. 4 data collection tools (semi-structured interview, open-ended achievement test, concept map and concept cartoon) were applied. It was carried out within the scope of a single group pretest-posttest simple experimental study, a quantitative research method. For analyising the data, gap and content analysis methods were used. Thanks to the interviews, open-ended achievement test and concept map, as pre-tests, it was determined that students had many misconceptions about &quot;work, energy, power&quot; concepts and didn't have any scientific knowledge about the relationships among them. The students' drawings on these relationships were also far from scientific. After the concept teaching under POE was performed, the data collection tools were re-applied as post-tests. So, it was seen that students' misconceptions were largely eliminated by replacing them with scientifically-correct concepts and relationships as a result of that process. In the light of these findings, applying POE method in concept teaching on different classes, courses or subjects is highly recommended. Some suggestions are also made for the researchers wishing to work in this field.

Selection of students who will benefit from scholarships given in the university are usually done by formed commission. Due to limited number of scholarships offered, commission are obliged to choose the most appropriate students. In this selection process, it is important to make objective evaluation. The commission should mostly interview the applicants face to face. This situation causes time and labour loss and a stressful environment for both members of the commission and the students. An objective scoring system could solve the problems discussed above. In this study, 200 students who applied for the scholarship at Akdeniz University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences to the scholarship were ranked. In this study, firstly the selection criteria of students for the scholarship was determined with the help of researchers and social aid service experts. Then, the weights of the criteria were calculated by the SWING method. These weights were used to rank the students who were eligible for the scholarship by using the VIKOR method. This method will make an objective evaluation and will accelerate the selection process.

Robotics programming is a type of coding that combines mechanics and programming. Robotics technology facilitates coding instruction. Coding improves students' problem-solving skills. However, studies from the literature show that some teaching methods do not have a positive effect on coding skills. This study aims to examine the effects of robotics programming training on secondary school students' problem-solving skills. For this purpose, the study was conducted as a pretest-posttest quasi-experimental model without a control group. Hence, 30 6th grade students (12 boys and 18 girls) from three secondary schools have participated in this study. Activities were conducted with the VEX IQ Robot Kit for 9 weeks. Before and after the process, problem-solving inventory and the perception scale of problem-solving skills were applied as pre- and post-test. As the scores obtained from the scales did not show a normal distribution, the difference between the pretest and post-test scale scores was examined by the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. As a result of the analysis, it was revealed that robotics programming helped students to develop problem-solving skills.

Mathematics as a discipline requires abstract operations under many sub-learning areas is considered hard by students to learn. In this respect, it has become indispensable to make mathematics teaching processes fun and to structure teaching procedures by using different teaching methods, techniques or materials. In this context, the purpose of the study is to determine the teachers' views of 7th grade students about the use of geogebra on lines and angles. The case study approach and focus group interview method were used in the study. In this context, 14 students studying in the city of Ankara were taught within the framework of the activities on lines and angles and carried practice out. At the end of these practices, a focus group meeting was held with the students, and the data provided from these interviews were expressed with sample sentences. In this regard, 3 activities were developed by the researcher for each of the two different acquisitions under the sub-learning area relating to the teaching of lines and angles. According to the results of the research, it was concluded that geogebra makes mathematics learning processes fun and enjoyable, helps students in concretizing abstract concepts often found in mathematics, and that students with low computer literacy have hardship in applying geogebra activities.

This article discusses a case study combining the qualitative analysis of documents and videofootage. The data was collected during a short collaborative task within an ideation phase with 9-10 year old pupils customizing a store-bought t-shirt. The combination of video and document analysis allows tracing back the emergence of some of the kernel ideas visible in prototypes and final designs. The analysis also shows that the pupils in the case study have developed a pool of ideas during several collaborative phases that they could draw back on for their final designs. The close observation of both verbal and embodied dialogue in video analysis shows that the individual, simultaneous and conjoint handling of materials in an exploratory way--touching and examining, arranging and rearranging--as well as the verbal dialogue taking place during the design process plays an important role within the ideation phase in Crafts and Design lessons. Thus, the article supports previous studies in this area. This small-scale case study can also be taken as an example for how to practice studying subject-specific learning and teaching for students in teacher education with documents and video footage providing a rich resource. Additional materials available on an online-portal as of June 2020 serve as a starting point for this endeavor.

What follows is a practical guide for establishing the validity of a survey for research purposes. The motivation for providing this guide is our observation that researchers, not necessarily being survey researchers per se, but wanting to use a survey method, lack a concise resource on validity. There is far more to know about surveys and survey construction than what this guide provides; and this guide should only be used as a starting point. However, for the needs of many researchers, this guide provides sufficient, basic information on survey validity. The guide, furthermore, includes references to important handbooks for researchers needing further information.

This study aims to test the effects of essay tests and learning methods on students' chemistry learning outcomes. The sample of this study was drawn from grade 11 students at Jambi State Senior High Schools through a multi-stage random sampling technique. Within a factorial experimental design, the data were analyzed using the covariance analysis technique (ANCOVA) with Tukey's test. The experimental procedure was carried out using the requirement tests (e.g., normality and homogeneity). The results showed that Chemistry learning outcomes of the students, who were exposed to the use of higher contextual learning methods, were better than the control group, who were instructed with conventional learning methods. Also, the present study pointed to an interaction between the effects of formative tests and learning methods on chemistry learning outcomes when the influences of early skills were controlled. In light of these findings, the present study suggests that teachers use related teaching methods and essay tests to empower their students' learning processes.
