Bu çalışma üniversite öğrencilerinin nomofobi düzeyleri ile akademik erteleme davranışları arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma grubu, araştırmacılardan birinin görev yaptığı üniversitede 2020-2021 döneminde öğrenim gören 532 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Nomofobi Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Veriler elektronik ortamda çevrim içi olarak toplanmış ve analiz edilmek üzere bir paket programa aktarılmıştır. Normallik testi yapıldıktan sonra verilerin analizinde bağımsız gruplar t-testi, tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA), Tukey testi ve Pearson Korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları öğrencilerin nomofobi ve akademik erteleme davranış düzeylerinin orta düzeyde olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca kadınların erkeklere göre, gençlerin ise nispeten yaşı daha ileri olan öğrencilere göre nomofobi düzeylerinin daha fazla olduğu belirlenmiştir. Erkeklerin akademik erteleme davranış düzeyleri kadınlara göre daha yüksek iken, yaş değişkenine göre anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmamıştır. Araştırmada nomofobi düzeyi ile akademik erteleme davranışı arasında pozitif yönlü düşük düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu sonuca göre katılımcıların nomofobi düzeyi arttıkça daha fazla akademik erteleme davranışı sergiledikleri söylenebilir.

The objective of this study is to ascertain the effects of immersive virtual reality environments on students’ academic achievement utilizing quantitative and qualitative approaches. First, databases of Web of Science, Google Scholar, ERIC, Proquest, YÖK Thesis Center, and ULAKBİM of Turkey were searched, and 31 studies (23 journal papers and 8 theses) were selected for the meta-analysis. In this context, the overall effect size on students' academic achievement was analyzed with the CMA program using subject area and grade level moderator variables. In the second part, content analysis was performed using the ATLAS.ti program for 8 studies selected for the meta-thematic analysis. it was found that immersive virtual reality environments had a positive, moderate (d = 0.526) effect on students' academic achievement. After the meta-thematic analysis, it was observed that immersive virtual reality environments had many positive effects on students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills and that created a perception of reality and sense of presence in students, facilitates learning, increases motivation, creates a safe and interactive learning environment and make many contributions to learning. In addition, it was determined that there may be problems such as technical problems and health problems during the environments, and it was stated that measures should be taken.

Kitlesel açık çevrimiçi dersler internet kullanımının yaygınlaşması ile birlikte daha geniş kitleler tarafından tercih edilmeye başlanmıştır. Eğitimciler tarafından önümüzdeki yıllarda daha fazla tercih edileceği düşünülen kitlesel açık çevrimiçi derslerde dersi yarıda bırakması önemli bir sorundur. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmada kitlesel açık çevrimiçi derslere katılan bireylerin dersleri tamamlama durumları cinsiyet, yaş, mezuniyet türü, sistem kullanım durumu, katılma nedenleri ve özerk öğrenme potansiyeli değişkenlerine göre incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 63 erkek ve 64 kadın olmak üzere toplam 127 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Örneklem seçiminde amaçsal örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örneklem benimsenmiştir. Katılımcıların kitlesel açık çevrimiçi ders almış olmaları ölçüt olarak belirlenmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan kişisel bilgi formu ile Arslan ve Yurdakul (2015) tarafından geliştirilen Özerk Öğrenme Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde kestirimsel analiz yöntemlerinden Ki-kare testi, point-biserail korelasyon analizi ve bağımsız gruplar t-testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları bireylerin kitlesek açık çevrimiçi dersleri tamamlama oranlarının cinsiyet değişkenine göre erkeklerin lehine, yaş değişkenine göre 25-44 yaş aralığı lehine, mezuniyet türüne göre lisans ve lisansüstü mezunların lehine anlamlı bir şekilde yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sistem kullanma durumlarına ve özerk öğrenme potansiyellerine göre ise anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamamıştır. Bunun yanı sıra bireylerin kitlesel açık çevrimiçi derslere katılma nedenleri arttıkça dersi tamamlama oranlarının arttığı görülmüştür.

This study has been done in order to determine the efficiency level in the extend of learners’ evaluation by means of comparing the Web Based Learning (WBL) with traditional face to face learning. In this respect, the effect of WBL and traditional environment has been analyzed in the class of Visual Programming I, and the learners have been evaluated with the rule based data mining method in a WBL environment. The study has been conducted according to experimental design with pre-test and post-test groups. Experimental group has attended the class in WBL environment, and the control group in a traditional class environment. In accordance with the pre-test and post-test scores of experimental and control groups, both methods have been proved to be effective. According the average scores of post-test, the learners in experimental groups have been more successful than the ones in the control group. The guiding of WBL system prepared for the study has been found to be significant in terms of both underlining the points in which the learners are unsuccessful in a short time and having trust in the system technically.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğrenme stillerine uygun sanal öğrenme ortamlarının öğrenci başarısına etkisini belirlemektir. Bu kapsamda araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Gaziantep Şehitkamil ilçesindeki bir ilköğretim okulunun yedinci sınıflarında öğrenim gören öğrenciler oluşturmuştur. Deney-1 grubu; öğrenme stillerine dayalı sanal öğrenme ortamlarında, Deney-2 grubu; hem öğrenme stillerine dayalı sanal öğrenme ortamlarında hem de geleneksel öğrenme ortamlarında, Kontrol grubu ise; geleneksel öğrenme ortamlarında yer alan gruplardan oluşmuştur. Araştırma sonucu elde edilen bulgulardan şöyledir: Deney grupları ile geleneksel öğrenme ortamlarında yer alan kontrol grubunun, sontest puanlarının ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık görülmemiştir. Ancak deney-2 grubunun sonteste ilişkin aritmetik ortalaması, deney-1 ve kontrol gruplarından yüksek çıkmıştır. Deney grupları ile kontrol grubunun, erişi puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı bir farklılık yoktur. Araştırma verilerinden yola çıkarak öğrenme stillerine uygun olarak düzenlenmiş sanal öğrenme ortamlarının tek başına kullanılmak yerine geleneksel eğitim ortamları ile beraber kullanıldığında başarıyı artırıcı özelliğe sahip olduğu söylenebilir.

The aim of this research is to make the cost analysis and to put forth individual and institutional effects of distance learning executed by Turkish Air Forces. The total costs and unit costs per student for face to face 208 and distance learning 243 courses by Air Force in 2005-2006 education year is calculated in this research. Findings present that unit cost per student at face to face education courses by Air Forces in 2005-2006 education year is higher than unit cost per student at distance learning courses. With the use of continuous education activities applied in 2005-2006 education year by Air Forces and distance learning executed in this scope, about 30 percent of the personnel made use of educations without sparing more resource. The advantages acquired in time and cost by Air Forces with the use of distance learning applications provided resource savings for 2006-2007 education year and this saving has been the resource of new projects devoted to education.

This paper examines the concept of impulse purchasing behavior online basically. The phenomenon of impulse purchasing has been researched in consumer research as well as for example in psychology and economics since the 1950s. A detailed review and analysis of the literature asserts that there are some unsolved issues regarding the state of knowledge on impulse purchasing behavior. Furthermore, nowadays consumers buy an increasing amount of purchases on the Internet. The current conceptualizations of impulse purchase behavior do not adequately capture impulse purchase behavior over the Internet. Today several researchers have claimed that the phenomenon of impulse purchasing should be examined also in the context of online shopping environment. This article aims to reveal that what attitudes of the customers are the points in question while purchasing on internet in terms of impulse buying. The results of our exploratory research are consistent with our conceptualization, and present a strong base for future research.
