Bu araştırmanın amacı, Wigfield ve Guthrie (1997) tarafından geliştirilen "Motivations for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ)/ Okuma Motivasyonu Ölçeği"ni Türkçeye uyarlamak ve ölçeğin geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik 2 analizleri ile açımlayıcı/ açıklayıcı faktör analizini yapmaktır. Tarama modeli çerçevesinde yürütülen araştırmaya 2012-2013 öğretim yılında Malatya'da Barbaros İlköğretim Okulu, Sümer İlköğretim Okulu ve Atatürk İlköğretim Okulu'nda seçkisiz (random) olarak belirlenen birer 5, 6, 7 ve 8. sınıf şubesinde öğrenim gören toplam üç yüz elli yedi (357) öğrenci katılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, SPSS 17.0 Paket Programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Ölçeğin "Cronbach Alpha" değeri, 0.904 olarak çok yüksek bulunmuştur. Ölçekte bulunan elli dört (54) maddeden yirmi dokuz (29) madde kullanılmıştır. Birinci faktör, "Önem ve Özen"; ikincisi, "Rekabet"; üçüncüsü, "Sosyal Çevre"; dördüncüsü, "Kitap Türü ve Niteliği" şeklinde adlandırılmıştır.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial disorder. It is important to identify gene mutations that may be responsible for the development of CAD. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of twelve cardiovascular disease (CVD) related gene mutations in coronary artery patients. Methods:The CVD StripAssay (Vienna Lab, Austria) was performed to analyze the twelve gene mutations on 52 coronary artery patients and 39 healthy controls. After DNA isolation from blood samples, hybridization with biotin marked probes was performed to PCR products containing the related region of mutant genes. Chisquare tests were used for statistical analyses.Results: Any differences were not observed between coronary artery patients and healthy controls in terms of the frequencies of studied twelve gene mutations except MTHFR A1298C mutation. It was observed that heterozygous and homozygous mutant genotypes of MTHFR A1298C mutation have protective effects against coronary artery disease [p = 0.06, in 95% CI OR = 0.205 (0.0421-1.001)]. Although all the three genotypes of PAI-1 4G/5G, ACE I/D and MTHFR C677T mutations were observed in both groups; homozygous mutant genotypes weren't observed for the Factor V Leiden, Factor V H1299R, Prothrombin G20210A, Factor XIII V34L, β-Fibrinojen -455G > A, HPA-1 1a/1b mutations in any of the groups. Heterozygote and homozygote mutant genotypes of APOB R3500Q mutation was not seen in both groups. When the patient group was evaluated in terms of compound genotypes, the rate of two mutations (ACE I/D, MTHFR A1298C) was 56%, the rate of three mutations (PAI-1 4G/5G, MTHFR A1298C, ACE I/D) was 53%, the rate of four mutations (PAI-1 4G/5G, MTHFR A1298C, HPA-1 1a/1b, ACE I/D) was 33%. High cholesterol, the number of clogged arteries and smoking rates was high in CAD patients with compound genotypes or carrying mutations in multiple genes compared the others. Conclusion:Among 12 studied gene mutations, only the MTH-FR A1298C mutation was determined to have a protective effect against CAD. In addition, cumulative effects of the mutant genotypes and environmental factors on people with the combined genotypes may be trigger for CAD.

The aim of this study is to determine the sentence information activities for the process of reading and listening/ monitoring texts in six themes in Primary Turkish 8 Lessons (MEB, 2017a), Student Studybook (MEB, 2017b) and Teacher Guidebook (MEB, 2017c) interpret them and evaluate them with a critical perspective. In the study, scanning model, which is one of the descriptive research patterns, was used. In the books examined at the end of the study, it was determined that the activities shaped around the main and auxiliary elements of the sentence field, the main and auxiliary elements of the sentence such as sentence types according to meaning (positive, negative, question), place of predicate (canonical, transpose), type (noun and verb sentence) and structure (single predicate, multi predicate, verbial, conjunction); phrases (noun clauses, adjective clauses, verb and verb groups, etc.); idioms, proverbs and phrases that can be evaluated in a phrase or sentence structure; purpose according to its subject (active, passive) and object (transitive, intransitive), voice of verbs, sentence emphasis, sentence length, number of verbs in the sentence; meaning in sentence [(positive, negative, question, assumption, probability, comparison, suggestion, subjective and objective judgment; object-result, cause-effect sentences] and emotion (reproach, longing, sadness, regret, exaggeration, surprise, liking); expression disorders, etc. spread over a wide range in terms of the sentence information. At the end of the study, it was proposed to update and enrich the sentence information activities in 8th grade Turkish textbooks in the light of academic studies focused on grammar teaching processes, especially with the discovery learning in constructive approach carried out in the literature.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, ABD'de 6. sınıf Temel Dil Becerileri Birinci Kur/ Language Arts Course One dersinde okutulan ders kitaplarından biri olan Glencoe Literature: Reading with Purpose, Course One'da yer alan iki şiir metninin işleniş basamaklarını ortaya koymaktır. Çalışma, betimsel araştırma desenlerinden tarama modelinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. GLRwP öğrenci kitabı (student edition), öğrenci çalışma kitabı (learner's notebook) ve öğretmen kılavuz kitabı (teacher's edition) olmak üzere üç kitaptan oluşmakta ve bu kitaplar için düzenlenmiş bir İnternet sitesi bulunmaktadır. Kitabın"büyük soru" ve "metin türü" etrafında şekillenen her ünitesi, "ısınma", "dört okuma semineri", "iki aşamalı yazma semineri", "karşılaştırma semineri" ve "üniteyi başarıyla tamamlama" olmak üzere beş basamaktan oluşmakta ve kitap "büyük soru" ile "metin türü"nün şekillendirdiği bir "ünite bütünlüğü" taşımaktadır. Her ünitede belli bir metin türüne yoğunlaşılmış olsa da öğrencilerin metin türleri arasında karşılaştırma yapmalarına olanak sağlayacak şekilde farklı metin türlerine de yer verilmiştir.
