“…This can be seen from the various research results in the field of social learning in the field; Rubtsov expressed the importance of developing the social competence of children/students in elementary school through the regulation of social interaction within the scope of education [10]. The same view was expressed by Gürer, that social learning in the school environment through the creative mentoring of a teacher will have an impact on improving the academic performance of students higher than their achievements in traditional teaching environments [11]. The results of Schwab's research also reveal the importance of social participation between teachers and students and the relationship of friendship between students in a secular environment [12].…”

This study aims to achieve the following objectives: 1) to analyze the publication trends in the field of social studies learning; 2) to identify the journals with the highest number of publications in the area of social studies learning; 3) to assess the productivity of researchers in the field of social studies learning and their contributions to publications; 4) to examine the extent of institutional collaborations in producing publications in social studies learning; 5) to explore the subjects covered in social studies learning publications and their development over time; and 6) to conduct a bibliometric analysis using co-word analysis to map the development of publications in social studies learning based on keywords. The research data was collected through a comprehensive Scopus search using keywords such as learning, social education, and primary school, focusing on article titles, abstracts, and keywords from the period 2013 to 2022. The research trends in social studies learning were analyzed using Vos Viewer software. The findings revealed that the highest number of research publications in the field of social studies learning, indexed in Scopus, was observed in 2022, with 103 publications (14.94%). Most international publications in this field were found in Social Work Education journals, with the United States being the leading contributor. The co-word analysis of the social studies learning field identified eight clusters encompassing 88 themes associated with its development.

“…The scale, which was developed by Handelsman, Briggs, Sullivan, and Towler (2005) to determine students' participation in science class and adapted to Turkish by Gürer (2013), was used in the study after obtaining the necessary permissions from the researcher. The original version of the scale is 23 items, the highest point that could be reached being 105, whereas the lowest score being 21.…”

Learning computer programming can be challenging for primary school students due to its abstract concepts. While teachers seek effective ways to introduce such concepts, the application of learning objects (LOs) can potentially reduce the effort of creating new material from and allows teachers to adapt LOs to students' needs. Although numerous LOs have been developed for multiple disciplines, there is a current research gap using LOs in teaching and learning computer programming at the primary school level. The current paper aims to explore the quality of five Scratch-based LOs created to facilitate teaching and learning programming in primary education. We followed a single instrumental case study collecting data from 25 in-service teachers and 91 primary school students, who, using the LORI instrument, evaluated Scratch-based LOs created in real learning contexts. The results showed that participants assessed the LOs' quality positively, highlighted their learning effectiveness, pleasant design, and increase in student motivation. While the findings cannot be generalized, the LOs can serve as support material both for teachers to introduce programming, and for students to comprehend key programming concepts. Future work concerns the exploration of the LOs affordability when applied in real situations.
