The mean CRF and IOPg values of patients with VKC were lower than those of controls. According to the results of our study, one can conclude that corneal biomechanical property, CRF, could be different in VKC patients compared to normals.
The COVID-19 pandemic has deepened the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) and wellbeing (WB) on students’ academic achievement, particularly in developing countries; thus, it becomes necessary to understand the nature of these concurrent relationships. This study aimed to explore the relationships between SES, WB and academic achievement, based on the data from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2018 within the Turkish context. In this cross-sectional study, we used hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis to explore how the independent variables predicted academic achievement in blocks based on data from 6890 students attending 186 schools. The study revealed that the model, including the independent variables, predicted students’ achievement in reading, mathematics and science; however, the prediction level of demographic factors and domains of WB were very low, while SES had the highest prediction level. The results offer insights into the predictors of academic achievement and educational inequalities in the context of a developing country.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, 2006-2016 yılları arasında yükseköğretim yönetimi alanında Türkiye'de yapılmış olan doktora tezlerinin mevcut durumunu konu, yöntem ve veri analiz teknikleri açısından incelemektir. Bu çalışma, nitel araştırma yöntemi desenlerinden durum çalışması deseniyle tasarımlanmıştır. Araştırmada örneklem seçimi, amaçlı örneklem yöntemi olan ölçüt belirleme tekniği ile yapılmıştır. Veriler, içerik analizi tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgulara göre doktora tezlerinin büyük çoğunluğunun kamu üniversitelerinde ve eğitim bilimleri anabilim dalında üretildiği, yükseköğretim yönetimi ile ilgili tez sayısında da belirgin düzeyde artış olduğu saptanmıştır. Tezlerde, kurumsal yapı ve yönetim süreçleri, finansman yönetimi, kurumsal performans ve etkinlik ile yükseköğretimde küreselleşme konularının sıklıkla çalışıldığı gözlenmiştir. Alanda üretilen doktora tezlerinin ağırlıklı olarak nicel yöntemle yürütüldüğü, nitel ve karma yöntemin araştırmalarda daha az sıklıkla kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Örnekleme tekniklerinde tesadüfi, tabakalı, amaçlı ve kolay ulaşılabilir, veri analizinde ise nicel veri analiz tekniklerinin sıklıkla kullanıldığı saptamıştır.
This study aims to examine the effect of parental involvement on students’ academic achievement at pre-school, elementary and secondary levels by using the meta-analysis method with respect to home-based and school-based parental involvement strategies. Data consisted of 55 independent research studies in English published between 2010 and 2019, and accessed through ERIC, Academic Search Complete, Science Direct, Wiley Online Library, and PsycNet databases. Findings revealed that the effect of parental involvement on academic achievement was positive but small. Parental expectations had the biggest effect on academic achievement and parental control had a negative and small effect. The mean effect of parental involvement on students’ academic achievement does not differ significantly according to moderator variables of education level, measurement type or measurement area but differs by developmental level of the country. The results are discussed using available related meta-analysis studies in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
