PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the theoretical relationship between experience quality (EXQ), satisfaction and the behavioral intentions (BI) of Motocross World Championship spectators.Design/methodology/approachThe research data were collected from spectators who participated in the World Motocross Championship race held in Afyon, Turkey in 2018. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the relationship among the research variables.FindingsThe results showed EXQ had significant and direct effects on satisfaction and BI. In addition to this, satisfaction had a partial mediating effect between EXQ and BI.Originality/valueTo date there has been no empirical study examining the consumer behaviors of motocross event spectators. Consequently, this research provides important contributions to the literature and informs event organizers about the role of EXQ in terms of understanding the behavior of motocross event spectators.

The urban population is increasing day by day, threatening human health. Neighborhood parks in which people can participate in physical activities have an important place in reducing the negative effects of urban life. However, not much is known much about factors such as "park satisfaction" and "place attachment", which may play a role in the visitors' participation in and continuation of physical activity in neighborhood parks, or the relationship between these factors. The purpose of this study was thus to examine the relationship between park satisfaction, place attachment and revisit intention. The data were obtained using the convenience sampling method from 357 park visitors who visited a park for physical activity. The methodological principles of structural equation modeling were used to test the conceptual model based on the literature review. According to the results, park satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on park attachment. In addition, park attachment played a mediating role between satisfaction and revisit intention. As a result, a theoretical and comprehensive model that revealed the relationship between park satisfaction, park attachment and revisit intention was developed. It is thought that the results will guide local governments, managers responsible for parks and park designers in maintaining open-air recreation facilities and services in urban areas.

This study aims to determine the effects of morpa campus, a practice of e-learning on the science learning in the primary level in terms of primary school teachers' views. Qualitative research method was used in this research. The sample of the study is composed of 16 teachers that use Morpa campus. In order to get their views about Morpa campus, open-ended semi-structured interview questions were prepared and applied. Content analysis was used in this study. According to the results of the study, it has appeared that Morpa Campus is compatible with the main acquisitions of the Ministry of Education, the order of themes and topics overlap with the Ministry of Education and the content is appropriate for the principle of progressivity as well as Morpa campus' having audio and visual units facilitates memorability. The disadvantages of Morpa Campus are that it teaches topics superficially and doesn't provide in-depth knowledge and contributes to the research deficiently whereas the advantages of it are that it uses a language that children can understand, it is clear and enriches the content of the lesson.Keywords: morpa campus, e-learning, web based training, science education, teaching INTRODUCTIONEducation is intimately related to cultural values and customs protected by every country (Gülcan, 2010), and it is a process that directly influences individual and communal living. The countries that reach a definite level of development give priority to education in innovation and development movements (Kaya, 2002).

The proportion of scientific and technological developments has increased and this change has made itself evident at manufacturing and service fields (Genç, 2005). Information that is the most precious entity the societiey has and sharing of this has been one of the most important factors of globalization along with technological developments (Dilmen, 2004).The institutions that do not want to get out of date are in the position of preparing their employees to ongoing developments. Getting information and savings quickly, adaptation of employees to rapid changes is provided with e-learning (Duran, Önal, & Kurtuluş, 2015).E-learning and web based education are learning and knowledge management, they are carried out by internet connection (e-nocta academy, 2015).
