ABSTRACT:The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine scientific attitude levels of gifted students, and (2) to investigate whether their levels of scientific attitude differ on selected demographic variables. The sample of this survey study consisted of 147 gifted 12-16-year-old students studying in Malatya Science and Arts Center. Data were collected through the "Scientific Attitude Scale" developed by Battal and Gürgan (1998). The reliability coefficient was calculated as 0.708. Frequency and percentage tables, t tests, analyses of variance and chi-square tests were employed to analyze the data. Results showed that scientific attitude levels of gifted students are high and do not differ on gender, monthly income, level of parental education, and occupational status of mothers. According to chi-square test results, some differences between observed and expected data were detected and reported in the paper. Finally, some recommendations were made to develop scientific attitudes of gifted students.

Bankalar, aracılık faaliyetleri yanında yatırım ve büyümenin de en önemli unsuru olarak kabul edilirler. Bu çalışmanın amacı, CAMELS modeline dayalı olarak Türkiye'deki ticari bankaların karlılığını etkileyen içsel faktörlerin belirlenmesidir. Bu kapsamda, 2005-2016 dönemi için Türkiye'de faaliyet gösteren 23 ticari bankanın karlılık performansları panel veri analiz yöntemleri ile araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, karlılığın göstergeleri olarak aktif karlılığı, öz sermaye karlılığı ve net faiz marjı dikkate alınmıştır. CAMELS değişkenleri; sermaye yeterliliği, aktif kalitesi oranı, yönetim kalitesi oranı, kazanç kabiliyeti oranı, likidite oranı ve piyasa risklerine duyarlılık oranıdır. Elde edilen bulgular, sermaye yapısı güçlü bankaların aktif ve öz sermaye karlılıklarının da yüksek olduğu göstermiştir.

The purpose of this study is to investigate relationship of mathematics Olympiad (analysis-algebra and geometry) scores of gifted students with IQ scores (verbal, performance and general) and mathematics achievement scores of the gifted students. Study group of the study included 64 gifted students (27 girls and 37 boys) who took courses from one Science and Art Center. Data of study involved scores of the participants on mathematics Olympiad exam, WISC-R test and school mathematics achievement. For analysis of the data Pearson correlation analysis, Spearman correlation analysis, independent groups' t-test and Mann Whitney U test were utilized. The findings showed that there was no significant relationship between the Olympiad scores on analysis-algebra and geometry and IQ scores (general, performance and verbal). But the Olympiad scores on analysis-algebra and geometry factors were significantly related to school mathematics achievement. Comparing IQ scores of highest and lowest scorer groups on the Olympiad scores showed that there were no significant differences between IQ scores (general, performance and verbal) of the groups. However school mathematics scores of the participants significantly differed in terms of groups determined based on analysis-algebra and geometry scores.
