“…When the research findings related to the validity analyzes of the scale development studies conducted in the field of educational sciences are examined (Gul & Sozbilir, 2015;Kucuk, Yilmaz, Baydas & Goktas, 2014), it was seen that the scope and appearance validity is one of the most preferred validity types due to the nature of the scale development studies. While many studies (Dalgic, 2008;Kurnaz & Yigit, 2010;Yilmaz & Aydin, 2017) have included findings and information regarding the content validity of the literature, it has been seen that this information is often explained in a short way and no clear information can be found.…”

“…Another issue that attracted the attention of the researcher in the literature review was content validity and appearance validity were often thought to serve the same purpose, and in most of the studies, the first stage of scale development was done. While the content validity helps to evaluate the whole structure as a whole, the appearance validity helps the researchers in terms of the fact that the completed structure is measuring the structure that it wants to measure and it seems to serve the purpose (Gul & Sozbilir, 2015). In this context, it is possible to use the content validity from the first stage to the last stage of the study, while the appearance validity should be used as the type of validity that should be made after the scale structure is completed.…”

“…This shows that the sample size was sufficient to test the construct validity of the road analysis generated by SEM and that the scale items could be collected under certain groups. When the relevant literature on the sample size was examined, several different views emerge (Ardies, Maeyer & Gijbels, 2013;Gul & Sozbilir, 2015). These thoughts that prefer a sample size of at least 300 or more in the Likert type scale applications of the sample size, and that the sample should be used between at least 5 and 10 times the number of items in the scale.…”

Computational thinking is a way of thinking that covers 21st century skills and includes new generation concepts such as robotics, coding, informatics and information construction. Computational thinking has reached an important point especially in the field of science in line with the rapid developments in technology. Robotics applications, software-based activities, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) education and problem-based studies are some of the areas where this thinking is used. In this study, which is based on this point, it is aimed to develop a scale for computational thinking. Exploratory sequential design, one of the mixed research methods, was used in the study. First of all, a detailed literature review was conducted and needs analysis was carried out. This study consists of two stages. In the first stage, exploratory factor analysis was performed and analyzed with SPSS 23 program. In the second stage, confirmatory factor analysis was performed and analyzed with LISREL 9.2 program. As a result of the study, the goodness of fit indexes of the scale was found. According to this; X 2 /df value 1.81; NNFI value 0.97; NFI value 0.93; CFI value 0.98; RMR value 0.05; SRMR value 0.04; AGFI value 0.91 and GFI value was found to be 0.93. When the reliability values of the study were examined, Cronbach's Alpha value was found to be 0.86. As a result of the research, a computational thinking scale consisting of 3 factors and 30 items was developed. This scale was developed for prospective teachers and can be used at all levels of prospective teachers.

“…When compared to meta-analysis and descriptive content analysis, the number of examined researches is rather limited in meta-synthesis studies (Çalık & Sözbilir, 2014). The aim in meta-synthesis is to lay out similarities and differences of studies by utilizing a conceptual analysis (Gül & Sözbilir, 2015). Induction is in the center of everything, while examining social phenomena with qualitative methods, and an inductive approach is a must from the stage of data collection.…”

This study is a meta-synthesis research, which focuses on studies conducted in the field of sports management and featured job satisfaction variable. In this study, a total of 22 studies, which were conducted between 2000 and 2017, were examined and the findings were presented in certain themes after applying meta-synthesis research method processes. In order to determine whether a study should be included in the analysis, Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC), Google Scholar Search Engine, YÖK (The Council of Higher Education) National Thesis Centre, Dergipark and TUBITAK (Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Council) Ulakbim databases were employed. Studies were thoroughly examined regarding their research methods, sample groups, analysis data usage, and findings. In conclusion, within the context of its analyses, this research is envisioned to guide future studies and help increase job satisfaction awareness in the field of sports management.

“…Perraton (2000) deneysel karşılaştırmalı araştırmalar, söylem analizi ve derinlemesine görüşmeler gibi yeni yöntemler kullanılarak araştırmaların yürütüldüğünü belirtmektedir. Bununla birlikte literatürde uzaktan eğitimin dışında farklı alanlarla ilgili çalışmaların içerik analiziyle incelendiği görülmektedir (Örneğin: Çalık, Ünal, Coştu ve Karataş, 2008;Gül ve Sözbilir, 2015). Ayrıca bazı dergiler içerik analizi ile ilgili özel sayı yayınlamaktadırlar (Bakınız: Eğitim ve Bilim Dergisi, Sayı 178).…”

Tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye'de de uzaktan eğitim, araştırmalara konu olmakta ve yüksek lisans ve doktora çalışmalarında ele alınmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, Türkiye'de 2005-2014 yılları arasında yayınlanan uzaktan eğitim tezlerindeki yöntemsel eğilimin ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu (YÖK) ulusal tez veri tabanında erişime açık olan toplam 380 tez incelenmiştir. Tezler; tez türü, tez başlığı, tezin yayın yılı, tezin yayınlandığı üniversite, enstitü, anabilim dalı, araştırma yöntemi, araştırma deseni, örnekleme yöntemi, örneklem kitlesi, veri toplama aracı ve veri analizi teknikleri alanlarının olduğu "Uzaktan Eğitim Tezleri İnceleme Formu" (UETİF) kullanılarak girilmiştir. Girilen veriler, betimsel içerik analizi tekniği ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre uzaktan eğitim alanında yayınlanan tezler 2010 yılına kadar artış sergilerken, sonraki yıllarda azalma olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Bunun yanında enstitülerin tez çalışmalarında metodolojik olarak farklı tercihler sergilendiği bulunmuştur. Nicel araştırma metodolojisinin temel alındığı tezlerde en fazla tarama deseninin kullanıldığı, nitel ve karma araştırma metodolojisine uygun yürütülen tezlerde ise en fazla durum çalışmalarının yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Nicel araştırma metodolojisinin temel alındığı tezlerin büyük çoğunluğunda örnekleme yönteminin ifade edilmediği, nitel araştırma metodolojisinin temel alındığı tezlerde en fazla amaçlı örnekleme yöntemine gidildiği belirlenmiştir. Tezlerdeki örneklem kitlesi incelendiğinde lisans öğrencileri ve yetişkinler tüm araştırma metodolojilerinde en fazla çalışılan örneklem kitlesi olmuştur. Veri toplama araçları bakımından nicel araştırma metodolojisinin temel alındığı tezlerde en fazla anket ve ölçeklerden faydalanıldığı, nitel ve karma araştırma metodolojisinin temel alındığı tezlerde ise en fazla görüşme Uzaktan eğitim Uzaktan eğitim tezleri Yöntemsel eğilimBetimsel içerik analizi
