“…These answers are related to students' ability to examine the problem, find solutions to problems with unique ideas, communicate in group work (Sparkes, 2017), and improve their ability to find solutions to daily life problems (Roberts, 2012). It can also be explained by the fact that AR and animationsupported STEM applications help students develop 21 stcentury skills by encouraging scientific thinking, imagination, self-expression, and self-confidence (Ültay, Dönmez Usta, & Ültay, 2021;Young, House, Wang, Singleton, & Klopfenstein, 2011).…”

Animation is used to increase the interest and engagement of students in the learning environment. Animation is exciting and fun, and using animation, abstract concepts are easy to present, display, and convey to students. Augmented reality, like animation, can help make it easier to understand abstract concepts. In many areas, augmented reality is used in education since it perfectly integrates virtual content with the natural world. STEM education is one of the areas where augmented reality can be used effectively. In this context, this research aimed to reveal the fourth-grade students' opinions about augmented reality and animation-supported STEM activities on the "Water Treatment" topic. These STEM activities were carried out with 15 (7 females, 8 males) fourth-grade students from a primary school in Turkey and lasted for 6 lesson hours. This study is a case study. As data collection tools in the study, the Know-Want-Learned chart, and the Application General Evaluation Form, which consists of eight open-ended questions developed by the researchers, were used. Based on the study's findings and the researchers' observations, it was determined that the augmented reality and animation-supported STEM activities are appropriate for acquisition, content, application, active participation, duration, and student level. In addition, the activities were enjoyable, humorous, engaging, and exciting. It is recommended in this context to conduct similar studies on different disciplines or concepts.

“…To make it easier to analyze the articles, each one was named as A1, A2, ..., A10, and for the thesis each one was named as T1, T2, …, T13 and these names were used in the study. The data from each study were analyzed using the "Examination Form" developed by the researchers previously (Ültay, Dönmez Usta & Ültay, 2021) within the scope of the research. While developing the examination form, it was finalized within the scope of the necessary feedback by soliciting the opinions of field experts.…”

The purpose of this research is to examine the descriptive content of studies examining the views of teachers and pre-service teachers on STEM education in order to shed light on the future. The content analysis method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to examine postgraduate theses and scientific articles in this study, which is a qualitative study. To that end, the studies under consideration were subjected to descriptive content analysis based on the aim, research designs (method, study group, data collection tools, and data analysis), results, and recommendations. A literature review was conducted for this study using the keywords "view on STEM education," "STEM," "teacher candidate," "pre-service teachers," "opinion about STEM education", "attitude," and "awareness". Seven question titles were determined by examining 23 identified studies, and an attempt was made to answer these questions. The collected data were organized into tables, and their frequency distributions were calculated. According to the results of these investigated studies, it was seen that the highest frequency was belong to the teachers' and pre-service teachers' positive attitudes and views toward STEM. Based on the research findings, the following recommendations can be made: STEM activities can be implemented in teacher education programs to increase student interest in STEM education. STEM education can be included as a practicum in teacher education programs.

“…Content analysis is the scientific analysis and technique of all kinds of content frequently used in the field of social sciences and has the quality of secondary data (Loomis et al, 2021;Neuendorf, 2002: 47;Ültay, 2017). Content analysis, as a statistical semantic science of social sciences, is a scientific reporting technique that classifies all kinds of content and signs and presents what these signs contain together with the judgments of the researcher.…”

Developments in information and communication technologies accelerate the transition from traditional management to e-governance. In this process, social media expands institutions' communication and interaction opportunities through highly accessible communication tools and platforms. Social media plays a vital role in municipalities' communication, interaction, recognition, and promotion activities, accelerating the transition from a traditional metropolis to an e-municipality. This study it is aimed to determine the social media usage levels of TR 42 region municipalities. The study analyzed the use of social media in the service delivery of the municipalities in the TR 42 region. The research data were obtained from the web pages of the municipalities forming the sample. Research findings show that municipalities actively use social media in the context of e-governance, but they need to make more progress in this area.
