Nowadays, alongside the development and widespread use of technology, the concept of the "digital game" has emerged. With easier access to technology, the popularity of digital games among children is increasing. Digital games appear in various forms such as console games, PC games, and online games. Besides these, it is seen that digital games are also played with portable technologies such as mobile phones and tablets. With these developments, children's play equipment, play habits and play perceptions have also changed. Hence, digital games have an important effect on children. These games, which attract children's attention, alongside their benefits, bring certain dangers and problems as well. Therefore, questioning the positive and negative effects of digital games on children has also emerged. The definition and types of digital games, the effects that digital games have on children in early childhood were discussed in this study. Studies on this subject have been obtained and a literature review has been made by examining the studies published in various sources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Öz: Göç kişinin çevresinde oluşturduğu değişimler nedeniyle insan gelişimi için önem taşıyan bir olgudur. Bu derleme çalışmasında göç olgusu Bronfenbrenner’ın Ekolojik Sistemler Kuramı’na göre değerlendirilmektedir. Göç sonucu mikrosistem, mezosistem, ekzosistem ve makrosistemde değişimler ortaya çıkar ve bu değişimlerle birlikte sistemler arası etkileşimler göçmen çocuğun gelişimini bazen olumlu bazen de olumsuz etkilemektedir. Çocuk gelişimini incelemek için önemli alanlardan biri de çocuk oyunlarıdır. Göç deneyiminin çocuklar üzerindeki etkilerini ve çocukların göç deneyiminin oluşturduğu değişimin yarattığı stres ile baş etme biçimlerini değerlendirmek için çocuk oyunlarının incelenmesi önemlidir. Oyunlar, çocukların göç olgusuna açıklama getirmelerini ve olay üzerinde kontrol sahibi hissederek kaygılarını azaltmalarını sağlar. Literatürde göç deneyiminin çocuk gelişimi üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen çalışmalar sınırlı olmakla birlikte göç sonrası çocuk gelişimini değerlendirmek amacıyla çocuk oyunlarını inceleyen çalışmalar yok denecek kadar azdır. Bu derleme çalışmasında göç eden çocukların oyunlarını inceleyen çalışmalar gözden geçirilerek ilerideki araştırmalar için öneriler sunulmaktadır.

Çocukların ayrılmaz bir parçası olarak algılanan oyun oynamak, çocukların öğrenmelerini, kendilerini ifade etmelerini, keşfetmelerini ve eğlenmelerini sağlamaktadır. Çocuklar oyunlara gönüllü olarak katılırlar ve oyun oynama sırasında etkinliklerini oluşturma fırsatına sahip olurlar, bu da onların gelişimleri üzerinde etkili ve önemli bir rol oynar. Teknolojide meydana gelen hızlı değişimlerle oyun oynama kavramı da değişime uğraşmıştır. Oyun oynama çocukların fiziksel, sosyal ve duygusal gelişimlerine önemli katkılar sağlamasına rağmen, bu katkılar teknolojinin muhtemel etkileri nedeniyle azalabilmektedir. Hatta, çocuklar için riskli durumlar bile ortaya çıkarabilmektedir. Teknolojinin oluşturabileceği riskleri ve çocukların oyun oynama konusundaki algılarının değişimi göz önünde bulundurularak, bu çalışma çocukların çevrimiçi oyun oynama sırasında karşılaşabilecekleri riskleri araştırmıştır. Bu bağlamda; “Oyun” ve “Oyun Oyna” olan iki anahtar kelime, iki çocuğun arama davranışları göz önüne alınarak seçilmiştir ve arama motoru sonuçlarına göre ilk on çevrimiçi oyun sitesi değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, çevrimiçi oyun sitelerinin, cinsel içerik barındırdıklarından ve olumsuz davranışları teşvik ettiklerinden dolayı, çocuklar için riskli durumlar oluşturdukları görülmüştür.

Isparta, Eskişehir, Erzurum, Kayseri, Ankara, İstanbul illerindeki araştırmalarda çocuklarla birebir anket ve gözlem yapılarak sonuca ulaşılmıştır. Çocukların sosyal, duygusal ve zihinsel yönden gelişimlerinin olumsuz yönde etkilendiği gözlenmiş, gözlem sonucunda elde edilen veriler analiz edilip, öneriler sunulmuştur.

While game is defined as a way of having fun with some certain rules, il also develops both skills and intelligence. It is also a way of spending good time, while toy is defined as a game instrument. Game is an activity that not only entertains and amuses the child, but also makes great contributions to her/his physical, emotional, social, cognitive, and language development. Game is a very important event in the development and upbringing of the child. Considering from the viewpoint of the child, game is the most important business of the child, and the toys a re important game instruments for him/her. In addition to requirements such as nutrition and sleep, children need to play games for his/her healthy development. Non-fulfillment or limitation of this basic need causes the unhealthy development of children that constitute the core of society. Game enables children to see the events from a different viewpoint, promotes their creativity, raises level of awareness of their feelings like joy and sorrow, socializes them among friend groups and makes them learn how to obey the moral and social rules, physically develops their muscles and bones, anil also their expression skills and vocabulary. Convenient playgrounds should be created for children and their playing games should be promoted by providing them with necessary materials. Healthcare professionals should keep in mind that games and toys can contribute to the wellbeing and development of the child. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

War and literatüre are both concepts regarding society. The bigger share the literature has in forming cultural identity and rising of social sensitivity, the higher effectuating ratio the war has in society and literature. Our recent past history is full of spectacular samples of this mutual interaction. In this study, the reflection of war conditions on children and children's plays was examined, which is based on the Journal Of Child Emotion. The party of Union and Progress (İttihat ve Terakki), which seized the power in the wake of Balkan Wars, tried to affect the society and by the way the children in line withit sown ideology evenunder these hard circumstances. It is remarkable that these efforts of effectuating and direction even got to the plays which have an important place in the education of children. The policies of Party of Union and Progress, which was not homogeneous but had a Turkist concept in the passage of time, regarding education underwent change accordingly. Necessitating of teaching Turkish with the law of Primary Education, even if it was enacted temporarily, had not only an influence on the primary schools, but also on the journals and newspapers published at those times. Indeed, the fact that the word 'Ottoman' that took place in the plays of the first issues of The Journal Of Child Emotion' was replaced by the word 'Turk' in the following issues manifests thein fluence of the administration of The party of Union and Progress, which fluctuated from Ottomanness toTurkism, on the press clearly. It is also remarkable that the writings of well-known artists suchs as Baha Tevfik, Sahabettin Süleyman, Ahmed Edib, Selim Sirri, Faik Ali and Philosopher Riza Tevfik, and photographs of Sultan V. Mehmet Resat Han, the Grandvizier Said Halim Pasha, the Minister of Internal Affairs Talat Pasha, the Minister of War Enver Pasha, the Minister of Navy Cemal Pasha, Mahmut Sevket Pasha and the great poet Recaizade Mahmut Ekrem Bey appeared inTheJournal Of Child Emotion that came out 19 days after Balkan defeat. The calm, nonchalant and provocation-free attitude of Leon Lütfi related to the issues encountered at that times such as "boycott, advertisements of foreign companies and the language used in publicity posters" on behalf of The Journal Of Child Emotionis worthy of commendation. However the writings ragarding the concept "grudge" have negative features with regard to the education of the children. It's also importance that the Journal Of Child Emotion, which showed up in the wake of Balkan Wars, was published by Leon Lütfi, an Ottoman Armanian. "People are also educated when they are young like as the twig is bent so is the tree inclined" is emphasized in the journal in which the nurture of children is stated to be attached "importance". Accordingly, it is striking that the nine of eighteen children's plays identified in this journal have a feature wholly orpartially reflecting the effects of war and making children ready for the war. Additionally, that these games have an aim of providing the children with the features just as improving the usage of language, being merciful, keeping the love of country and nationalive, allegience to Turkishness and Ottomanness, adopting the flag and star board stands out as an another favorable feature of the journal. The importance of the factor "play" in the education of children is certainly incontestable. The Journal Of Child Emotion, aware of this importance, became one of the journals that prefered the way of making use of the plays in order to tell the children about the negativities that appeared in the wake of Balkan Wars, make them ready for the future, boost their morale despite the hard conditions the country was in. Nevertheless, other journals and newspapers which appeared at that time, especially The jounal Of Child Emotion, reflected the wars, the negativities resulting from these wars not only to the children plays but also to the whole life. They did not have so much thought of keeping children safe from the harmful effects of this negative scenery. In this study, the plays in The Journal Of Child Emotion were deale done by one and the negative and positive effects on the children were evaluated particularly in terms of education values.
