    A study on the hopelessness of Turkish physical education and sports school students; [Istraživanje bespomoćnosti studenata tjelesnog odgoja i studenata u sportskim školama]
    (FACTEACHEREDUCATION, 2014) Ozsaker M.; Vurgun N.
    This study aims to evaluate and compare university students' hopelessness levels for specific variables. The sample included 535 university students at the School of Physical Education and Sports (SPES) of the Adnan Menderes University. The 20- item Beck Hopelessness Scale, developed by Beck et al. (1974), was used in the study. Seber et al. (1993), Durak and Palabi{dotless}yi{dotless}koǧlu (1994) created a Turkish adaptation of the scale. Based on the data, descriptive frequencies and percentage tables were obtained. The Mann Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests, nonparametric correlation and linear regression analyses were implemented using the SPSS 16.0 statistical software for the hopelessness scores. There was an insignificant correlation between students' hopelessness levels in different departments and playing sports, while students' hopelessness scores in the training department were higher than the scores of students in other departments. The low income students' hopelessness levels were higher, but there was a significant correlation between low income and middle/high income.

    The association between perceived social support and self-efficacy of Turkish elementary school children; [Povezanost percepcije društvene podrške i samoučinkovitosti kod učenika osnovnih škola u Turskoj]
    (FACTEACHEREDUCATION, 2015) Ozsaker M.; Yardımcı F.; Gerçeker G.Ö.; Muslu G.K.
    Positive power is very important for adolescents’ physical and mental health. The sample for the study was composed of a total of 760 students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades from 7 elementary schools. The sociodemographic data form, the “Child-Adolescent Social Support Scale” (CASSS) for measuring the social support perceived and the “Middle School Self-efficacy Scale” for measuring self-efficacy were used. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between the social support perceived and elementary school students’ self-efficacy and the variables that influence perceived social support and self-efficacy. A positive relationship was determined between the CASSS and point averages on the sub-scales, the Middle School Self-efficacy Scale and the sub-scales of the students (p<0.001). It was established that the perceived social support in adolescents has affected their selfefficacy skills. It is recommended that professionals dealing with adolescent health should guide the adolescents by using social support and health self-efficacy on gaining skills for health protection, promotion and to take over the responsibility of their own health. © 2015 FACTEACHEREDUCATION.

    The use of data mining for strategic management: A case study on mining association rules in student information system; [Upotreba rudarenja podataka u strateškom menadžmentu: Analiza slučaja upotrebe pravila pridruživanja rudarenja podataka u informacijskom sustavu podataka o studentima]
    (FACTEACHEREDUCATION, 2016) Onan A.; Bal V.; Bayam B.Y.
    In today’s competitive conditions changes in business environment and business structures make strategic management an effective form of management for business and organizations. Strategic management is a current management strategy that requires setting of the appropriate strategies, plans and applications and putting them into action in order to reach the aims and goals of organizations. The process of strategic management involves setting the company’s vision, mission and objectives, determining the competitive position, and the evaluation of results obtained by strategy selection, development and application. In the application of activities related to the strategic management of business processes, the discipline of data mining, which can be defined as the process of extracting useful and meaningful patterns from large volumes of data, emerges as a viable method. In this study, strategic management and data mining disciplines and their basic concepts and applications are introduced. Apart from that, data mining methods in the context of strategic management are taken into consideration. In addition, a sample case study about the use of association rule mining algorithms in student information systems data will be presented. © 2016, FACTEACHEREDUCATION. All rights reserved.

    Open courseware-based logic design course; [Kolegij logički dizajn temeljen na otvorenim obrazovnim materijalima]
    (FACTEACHEREDUCATION, 2020) Balcı B.; Çiloğlugil B.; İnceoğlu M.M.
    Logic Design is one of the core courses of many engineering programs and it provides a foundation for the subsequent hardware courses in the curriculum. In this study, a course design supported by open courseware for Logic Design is presented. In this regard, the syllabus, slides, laboratory manual handbook including experiment sheets and simulations, experiment videos, assignments and examples were prepared. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of supporting Logic Design course with digital open courseware on student achievement. It also aims to determine students’ opinions regarding this approach. The study follows a mixed methods approach with the pretest-posttest control group experimental research design. The study was conducted at Manisa Celal Bayar University in Turkey in spring semester of the academic year 2017-2018 with 68 computer engineering students. While the students of the experimental group took the course supported with open courseware, only regular instruction was used in the control group. The quantitative data were collected from an achievement test including open-ended questions and surveys. The qualitative data were gathered by semi-structured focus group interviews. The findings were meticulously analyzed to provide suggestions for revision of the course. Finally, future work directions are discussed. © 2020, FACTEACHEREDUCATION. All rights reserved.
