Eğitim sisteminin en önemli amacı, tüm bireylerin gelişim süreçlerindeki olması muhtemel sorunlarını çözmeye yardımcı olmak ve bireylere gereksinim duydukları eğitim hizmetlerini sağlamaktır. Bu sistem içerisindeki özel eğitimin amacı ise herhangi bir nedenle normal eğitimin gereklerini yerine getiremeyen bireylere eğitimde fırsat eşitliği sağlamaktır. İnsana verilen değerin artması ile birlikte, özür ve özelliği olan bireylere dönük, öğrenen merkezli yaklaşımlar ön plâna çıkmıştır. Eğitim bilimlerinde kaydedilen gelişmeler, işitme engellilerin öğretim etkinliklerinde geleneksel yaklaşımların dışına çıkılması gerektiğini vurgular niteliktedir. Bu çalışmada, Coğrafya dersinde Ana Yeryüzü Şekilleri konusu örneğinin, aktif öğrenme ve geleneksel öğretim yaklaşımlarıyla işitme engelli öğrencilerin akademik başarıları üzerindeki etkileri incelenmektedir. Ortaöğretim 9. sınıftaki işitme engelli öğrencilerin coğrafya dersinde, ana yeryüzü şekillerinin öğretiminde aktif ve geleneksel öğretim yöntemleri kullanılmasının öğrencilerin başarı düzeylerinde ortaya çıkaracağı farklılıkları incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada deneysel model kullanılmıştır. Deneysel modelde “ön test ve son test kontrol gruplu araştırma modeli” kullanılmıştır. Uygulanan yöntem ve tekniklerin ardından ortaya çıkan bulgulara göre başarı puanlarında uygulama öncesine göre daha fazla kazanç elde eden aktif öğrenme yönteminin, geleneksel öğretim yöntemine göre başarı puanlarını artırmada daha etkili olduğu sonucu ortaya çıkmıştır. Buna göre "Aktif Öğrenme Modeli" bu öğrencilerin Coğrafya derslerinde kullanıldığında başarı sağlanabilecek bir öğretim yöntemidir., The most important objective of the educational system is to help find a solution to all possible problems that individuals can encounter during their development processes and to provide the individuals with the educational services they need. Special-needs education, as a part of this system, aims at providing equal opportunities to the individuals, who do not comply with the conditions of normal education because of any reason. Since greater importance has been attached to the needs as central to the learning experience of individuals, learner-centered approaches have been widely implemented for the individuals having disabilities or special needs. The developments in educational sciences emphasize a need for getting beyond the traditional approaches for the education of hearing impaired students. This study investigates the respective impacts of active learning and traditional teaching approaches on the academic achievement of hearing-impaired students related to the subject topic of Main Landforms in Geography lesson. The aim of the study is to analyze the differences of the achievement levels of 9th grade hearing impaired students in Geography lessons while teaching main landforms by employing active learning and traditional techniques. Pre-test and post-test experimental design with control group was used. The findings emerged from the administration of relevant techniques led to the conclusion that active learning method has proved to be particularly effective in increasing final grades of students than traditional teaching method. Accordingly, active learning method is a method that would increase achievement levels when used in Geography lessons with hearing impaired students.

Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) results from accelerated platelet destruction mediated by autoantibodies to platelet glycoproteins. Some patients with chronic ITP are refractory to all therapies [steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), anti-D and immunosuppresive drugs] and have chronic low platelet counts and episodic bleeding. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of rituximab treatment and splenectomy in paediatric patients diagnosed with chronic and refractory ITP who were unresponsive to steroids, IVIG, cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil. Records of patients with chronic and refractory ITP in 459 patients with primary ITP who were followed up in our hospital from January 2005 to December 2014 were reviewed. Fifteen of patients received rituximab and/or applied splenectomy. Fifteen chronic ITP patients (10 boys, five girls) with a mean age of 10 years were enrolled in the study. Two of these patients were suffering from Evans syndrome. The median time since diagnosis of ITP was 10 years. The median follow-up duration after starting Rituximab and splenectomy were 13 and 9.5 months, respectively. None of the seven patients who were treated with rituximab achieved a response. A splenectomy was performed in six of the seven patients who had been treated with rituximab. Complete and partial responses were achieved in 67 and 33% of the patients, respectively. We evaluated the clinical characteristics and responses of chronic ITP patients who did not receive rituximab therapy and underwent a splenectomy. The success rate was 100% in the eight patients with chronic and refractory ITP. Rituximab therapy might not be beneficial for some children with severe chronic ITP who are refractory to standard agents. A splenectomy might be useful and preferable to rituximab.

Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remains the most common pediatric malignancy in the world. Overall survival rates have increased from 30% in the 1960s to 90% in past 10 years. Enabling this dramatic improvement are the multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimens in which asparaginase is cornerstone. Unfortunately, hypersensitivity to asparaginase has been a commonly-reported adverse event, associated with inferior outcomes in ALL. Methods Between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2012, 97 patients were enrolled in the study. Selection criteria included those were diagnosed with ALL and given the ALL-BFM-2000 protocol at Dr. Behcet Uz Children's Hospital. Data regarding age at diagnosis, sex, follow-up duration, hypersensitivity of L- asparaginase, status of relapse and outcome were gathered from the patients’ files. The event-free survival (EFS) and the overall survival (OS) of the patients who developed and did not develop hypersensitivity to L- asparaginase were compared. Peg-asparaginase was given to patients who developed L- asparaginase hypersensitivity, and erwinia asparaginase was given if the patients developed peg-asparaginase. The asparaginase activity could not be measured. Kaplan mayer test was used to calculate the EFS and the OS. Results A total of 97 patients were evaluated. Thirty-two were standard risk, 49 were moderate risk, and 15 were high risk. 61 patients were male, and 36 were female. The median age (range) at diagnosis was 5 (1-15) years. Median (range) follow-up duration was 5.1 (0.08-7.3) years. Of the 97 patients, 28 (29.2%) developed L-asparaginase hypersensitivity. The event-free survival was 84.5 ± 4.6%, and 62.6 ± 9.4% for patients who developed and did not develop hypersensitivity, respectively (p=0.01). The overall survival rates were 89.2 ± 3.9 % and 74.6 ± 8.3% for patients who developed and did not develop hypersensitivity, respectively (p=0,07). Figure 1. Event-free survival. The five years EFS±SE for the patients who developed and did not develop native L- asparaginasehypersensitivity were 84.5 ± 4.6% and 62.6 ± 9.4%, respectively (p=0.01). Figure 1. Event-free survival. The five years EFS±SE for the patients who developed and did not develop native L- asparaginasehypersensitivity were 84.5 ± 4.6% and 62.6 ± 9.4%, respectively (p=0.01). Conclusions This study demonstrated that EFS was lower in patients with L-asparaginase hypersensitivity than those without hypersensitivity, although there were no differences in terms of OS. All of the patients with hypersensitivity received a sufficient dose of peg-asparaginase or erwinia asparaginase according to the ALL-BFM-2000 protocol. The lower EFS for patients who were switched to peg-asparaginase because of L- asparaginase may be explained by silent inactivation of peg-asparaginase. If the activity of asparaginase could not be measured, it could be preferable to switch to erwinia asparaginase. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Background A focus on the long-term regh side effects of cancer therapy in childhood has become of crucial importance. Exposure to chemotherapy at a young age increases vulnerability to long-term treatment-induced sequelae. We evaluated the effect of radiotherapy on obesity and insulin resistance in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) patients. Methods We evaluated obesity and insulin resistance in patients with ALL receiving follow-up care 1-5 years after treatment (ALL-BFM 2000 protocol) at Ýzmir Dr. Behçet Uz Children’s Hospital. Patients were screened for blood glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism abnormalities, obesity, and insulin resistance. Height, weight, body mass index, biochemical parameters (fasting blood glucose level, serum lipid profile), and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR=glucose/insulin ≥ 2,7) were calculated with the data gathered from patient files. The differences between groups which did and did not receive radiotherapy (RT) assessed with the Mann-Whitney U test in terms of the data. The differences between risk groups assessed with Kruskal-Wallis test in terms of the data. Results Forty-one patients, 20 (48,7%) of whom were male and of 21 (51,3%) of whom were female. The mean age of the patients was 10±3.1 years . The mean± SD duration after the last chemotherapy treatment was 3.2 ±1.2 years. Twenty of the patients received prophylactic cranial RT (12 Gy), and the others did not. There were no differences between the groups who did and did not receive RT in terms of sex, age, or duration since their last chemotherapy treatment (p>0.05). Forty-one patients 19 (46,3%) of whom were in the standard-risk group, 19 (46.3%) of whom were in the moderate-risk group, and 3 (7,4%) of whom were in the high-risk group according to risk classification of ALL-BFM 2000 protocol. The mean value ± standard deviation (SD) of the patients' height was -0.2 ± 0.8. One patient had < -2SD height which was assessed as constitutional short stature. The mean ± SD (range) value of patients' body mass index (BMI) was 20.8 ±5 (5.1-33.7). According to BMI percentages, 24 of the patients (58.5%) were below 85p (normal), 5 (12.2%) were between 85-95p (overweight), and 12 (29.3%) were obese. The mean ± SD (range) value of BMI SD for the patients who received RT was 1.0±0.9, and it was was 1.0±0.9 (p=0.29) for the patients who did not receive RT. All the patients had normal fasting blood glucose, but 14 (34.1%) patients had insulin resistance according to the HOMA-IR index. The mean ± SD values of the HOMA-IR index were 3.1±2.1 and 2.5±2.6 for those who did and did not receive RT, respectively (p=0.03). The mean ± SD levels for the patients who did and did not receive RT, respectively, were as follows: trigliseride levels were 112.8±53.8 mg/dL and 81.1±27.2 mg/dL; HDL cholesterol levels were 46.7±8.9 mg/dL and 50.4±11.5 mg/dL; total cholesterol levels were 161.5±24.8 mg/dL and 151.6±21.5 mg/dL; and LDL cholesterol levels were 151.6±21.5 mg/dL and 84.1±19.4 mg/dL (p>0.05). According to the ALL risk groups, there were no differences in terms of these parameters (p>0.05). Conclusion In our study, RT posed a risk for insulin resistance although there were no differences between groups in terms of obesity. The height of patients were not affected by RT. This could be because of the low RT dose and the short time interval after RT treatment. In our study, the lack of difference in the obesity rate between patients who did and did not receive RT and the higher obesity prevalence (29.3%) compared to Turkey’s general population (3.7-10.3%) suggest the contribution of chemotherapy, especially steroids with well-known effects. The low numbers of patients in risk groups, might cause the lack of differences in terms of obesity or insulin resistance. Obesity and insulin resistance were observed in ALL patients who survived after treatment. Thus these patients should be closely monitored for obesity and insulin resistance. Early diagnosis will enable us to reduce morbidity in patients with ALL. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Bu araştırmada, ortaöğretim kurumlarında görev yapan coğrafya öğretmenlerinin sınıf yönetimi hakkında görüşlerinin belirlenmesi ve kişisel özelliklerine göre sınıf yönetimi hakkındaki görüşlerinin değişip değişmediğinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma deseni olarak tarama modelinin kullanıldığı bu araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, Karabük ilinde görev yapan 60 coğrafya öğretmeni oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada öğretmen görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla 32 maddeden ve iki bölümden oluşan Coğrafya Öğretmenleri'nin Sınıf Yönetimi Hakkındaki Görüşlerinin Belirlenmesi isimli anket uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizini yapmak için frekans ve yüzdelikler, ortalama, standart sapma, ikili grup karşılaştırmalarında ilişkisiz t testi (independent samples t test) ikiden fazla grup karşılaştırmalarında ise tek yönlü varyans analizi (one way anova) kullanılmıştır. Tek yönlü varyans analizi sonucunda gruplar arası anlamlı bir fark bulunması durumunda ise Tukey HSD (multiple comparisons) testleri uygulanarak faklılıkların hangi gruplardan kaynaklandığı belirlenmiştir. Verilerin istatistiksel çözümlemeleri SPSS 15 paket programı kullanılarak uzmanlarla birlikte yapılmıştır. Araştırmadan ortaya çıkan sonuçlara göre; coğrafya öğretmenlerinin sınıf yönetimi anlayışları, cinsiyetlerine ve en son mezun oldukları okula göre anlamlı farklılıklar göstermemektedir. Coğrafya öğretmenlerinin demokratik ve ilgisiz sınıf yönetimi anlayışlarında yaşlarına göre anlamlı farklılık görülmezken, otokratik sınıf yönetimi anlayışına göre anlamlı farklılık görülmektedir. Mesleki deneyim yıllarına göre coğrafya öğretmenlerinin demokratik sınıf yönetimi anlayışlarında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmazken, otokratik ve ilgisiz sınıf yönetimi anlayışlarında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunmaktadır. Okullardaki genel sınıf mevcuduna göre, coğrafya öğretmenlerinin otokratik ve ilgisiz sınıf yönetimi anlayışı anlamlı farklılık göstermeyip demokratik sınıf yönetimi anlayışı anlamlı farklılık göstermektedir. Coğrafya öğretmenleri, otokratik sınıf yönetimi anlayışını belirleyen maddelerin bir kısmında otokratik eğilimli olduklarını, demokratik ve ilgisiz yönetim anlayışını belirleyen maddelerin genelinde demokratik olan ve ilgisiz olmayan sınıf yönetimi sergilediklerini belirtmişlerdir. In this research, it is aimed to determine secondary school geography teachers' views for class management and whether their views for class management change according to their personal qualifications or not. The study group of this research in which scanning model was used as the research design was comprised of 60 geography teachers. In order to determine the teachers' views, the survey with 32 items and two sections called Determining geography teachers' views towards class management was applied. In order to analyse the data of the research, frequency and percentages, average, standard deviation, independent samples t test in dual group comparisons, one way anova analysis in more than two groups were used. In case there is a meaningful difference among groups after one way anova analysis Tukey HSD (multiple comparisons) test were applied and the groups forming differences were determined. The statistical analysis of the data were sort out via SPSS 15 programme package with specialists. According to the results of the research; geography teachers' class management approach do not differ according to their gender and the schools where they were graduated from. Geography teachers' class management approaches do not indicate a meaningful variation in democratic class management approaches but varies in autocratic and irrevelant class management approaches according to professional experience. Geography teachers' class management approaches do not indicate a meaningful variation in democratic and irrevelant class management approaches but varies in autocratic class management approaches according to ages. Class management approaches of geography teachers autocratic and irrelevant class management approach do not indicate variation whereas democratic class management approach varies according to general class size. Geography teachers stated that they exhibit a partly autocratic approach in some of the issues determining the autocratic class management approach, in democratic and irrelevant management approach they exhibit a democratic and irrelevant management approach in general.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Coğrafya dersinde Ana Yeryüzü şekilleri konusunun, aktif öğrenme ve geleneksel öğretim yaklaşımlarıyla işitme engelli öğrencilerin akademik başarıları üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Araştırma, 2008?2009 Eğitim-Öğretim Yılı Bahar Dönemi?nde Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı?na bağlı Ankara ili Altındağ ilçesindeki Kemal Yurtbilir Özel Eğitim Meslek Lisesi 9. sınıf öğrencileri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada deneysel bir model olan ?öntest-sontest kontrol gruplu araştırma modeli? kullanılmıştır. Araştırma için 9. sınıflar arasından random (yansız atama) yöntemi kullanılarak öğrenci sayıları eşit iki sınıf seçilmiş; sınıflardan biri deney grubu, diğer sınıf kontrol grubu olarak belirlenmiştir. Kontrol grubuna ana yeryüzü şekilleri geleneksel öğretim yöntemi ile aktarılmıştır. Deney grubunda aynı konunun öğretimi, aktif öğrenme yaklaşımına uygun yöntem ve tekniklere göre hazırlanan etkinlikler aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir.Deney ve kontrol gruplarına bir kez deney başlamadan önce, bir defa da deney bittikten sonra ?ana yeryüzü şekilleri? konusu ile ilgili başarı testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen verilerin analizinde aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma, t-Testi ve Anova Testi gibi istatistik yöntemler kullanılmıştır. Sonuç olarak başarı testi sontest puanları açısından, aktif öğrenme yaklaşımının uygulandığı deney grubunun sontest puanlarının aritmetik ortalaması, geleneksel öğretimin uygulandığı kontrol grubunun sontest puanlarının aritmetik ortalamasından yüksek bulunmuştur. Böylece işitme engelli öğrencilerin coğrafya dersindeki başarıları üzerinde aktif öğrenme yaklaşımının geleneksel öğretim yaklaşımına göre daha etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Coğrafya Öğretimi, Aktif Öğrenme, Geleneksel Öğretim, İşitme Engelliler. The aim of this study is to investigate the comparison of effects of using active learning and conventional teaching approaches on the academic achievements of the hearing impaired students while teaching main Earth shapes.This research was applied to 9th grade students in Kemal Yurtbilir Special Education Vocational High School, which is a state school and located in Altındağ, Ankara, and it was applied in the spring term of 2008-2009 Academic year.For the purpose of this study, ?research model with pre-test and post-test control group? was used. The two different 9th classes took part in the experiment and they were chosen with random (unbiased) method. The students were divided into two groups to form the control and experimental groups. Main Earth shapes was taught to control group by using the conventional teaching method, and the same subject was taught to experimental group by using the activities prepared according to the appropriate methods and techniques of active learning approach.An achievement test on ?main Earth shapes? was applied to both control and experimental groups before and after the experiment. Standard deviation, arithmetic average, t-test and Anova test were used in the analysis of the data gathered in this study.Consequently, in terms of the post achievement test scores, the arithmetic average of the post test scores of the experimental group was higher than the arithmetic average of the post test scores of control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that active learning approach is superior to conventional teaching method in the achievements of hearing impaired students in geography lessons.Key words: Geography Teaching, Active Learning, Traditional Learning, Impaired Students 150

Bir deprem ülkesi olan Türkiyezde, depreme karşı daha bilinçli bireyler yetiştirmek bir vatandaşlık görevidir. Depremin neden olduğu ekonomik kayıplar, gelecek nesillerin gitgide azalan imkanlarının daha da azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Okullarda verilen eğitim, toplumun ihtiyaçlarına cevap vermelidir. Toplumun sorunlarına çözüm üreten bilgili ve düşünen bireyler yetiştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, resmi genel liselerde okuyan öğrencilerin deprem konusundaki coğrafi düşünme becerilerini ölçmeye yöneliktir. Okullarda öğrencilere ne düzeyde düşünme becerisi kazandırıldığını ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmış, tarama modelinde betimsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın evrenini, Adana ili Seyhan ilçesinde bulunan resmi genel liselerde okuyan öğrenciler oluşturmaktadır. Bu evren içerisinden tesadüfü olarak seçilen beş okulun lise 9. 10. ve 11. sınıf öğrencilerinden toplam 248 öğrenciye anket uygulanmıştır. Anket uygulanan bu öğrencilerin bazılarıyla da görüşme yapılmıştır. Verilerin çözümlenmesinde, yüzde ve frekans dağılımları kullanılmıştır. Araştırma problemlerini ortaya koyarken , Bağımsız İki Örneklem T- Testi (İndependent-Samples T-Testi) ve Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizizden (Anova) yararlanılmıştır (deprem konusunda coğrafi düşünme beceri düzeylerine, öğrencilerin cinsiyetlerinin ve okudukları alanlarının etkilerini ölçmek ve bunlar arasındaki anlamlı farklılıkları ortaya koymak amacıyla). Daha sonra anketten elde edilen nicel veriler, görüşme sırasında elde iv edilen nitel verilerle desteklenerek bulgular ve yorum bölümüne yazılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, öğrencilerin deprem konusunda coğrafi sorular sorma becerisini bazen kazandıkları ortaya çıkmıştır. Anket sonuçlarına göre en fazla kullanılan becerinin coğrafi soru sorma becerisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Öğrencilerin depremle ilgili bilgi edinme becerilerini hiç kazanmadıkları görülmüştür. Depremle ilgili bilgileri düzenleme becerilerini hiç kazanmadıkları, öğrencilerin depremle ilgili bilgilerin analiz edilmesi becerisini hiç kazanmadıkları yine öğrencilerin coğrafi soruları cevaplama becerisini de hiç kazanmadıkları şeklinde bir sonuç bulunmuştur. Deprem konusunda, coğrafi düşünme beceri düzeyleri arasında öğrencilerin cinsiyetlerine ve okulda okudukları alana göre de anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. As Turkey is a country tending to have earthquaks, growing up people conscious about earthquakes is a duty of citizenship. Economic loss of earthquaks causes future generationsz descending opportunities decrease more and more. The education given in schools must answer the needs of the public. Individuals, who solve the problems of public and have thinking capacity, should be grown up. This study is a descriptive screening model which is made to show the level of geographical thinking skills about earthquake of the local high school students. The centre of the study is the local high school students in Adana, Seyhan. A survey is made among 248 students from randomly closen five schools in this centre. An interview was made with some of these students who were applied the survey. In resolving the data the analysis is made by using percentage, freqvency. In resolving problems of the research two İndependent-Samples T-Test and One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were made in order to determine if there are important differences between sexes and fields, geographic thinking skill levels about earthquakes. Later the quantitative data of the survey was written in findings and comments section by being supported with the qualitative data. vi At the end of the survey it is found out that the skills of students of asking geographic questions about earthquake is sometimes Itzs determined that according to survey results the mostly used skill is the skill of asking geographic questions. According to survey results it is found out that the students couldnzt gain the skills of gathering knowledge about earthquake never at all . It is found out that the students couldnzt gain never the skills of sorting out the knowledge about earthquake, the analyzing skills of the knowledge about earthquake never at all. It is also found at that the skills of answering the geographic questions doesnzt exist never It is found out that as a matter of earthquake there are significant differences between geographical thinking level skills related to the sexes and fields of students in school.

Bu betimsel çalışma, Dış Kuvvetler ünitesindeki Buzul Topografyası konusunda öğrencileri kavramları öğrenme düzeyleri ile öğrenme güçlüğü çektikleri kavramları tespit etmek ve öğrencilerin öğrenme güçlüğü çektikleri konuları azaltmak için hangi yöntemlerin daha etkili olacağını tespit etmek için yapılmıştır.Bu çalışma, Ankara İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğüne bağlı üç farklı lise türünde uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmada buzullar konusunun seçilmesindeki başlıca neden, buzullar konusunun yeryüzü şekillerinin oluşumunda etkili olmasıdır. Araştırmaya ait veriler elde etmek için, öncellikle buzullar konusunda geçen kavramların hangilerini öğrencilerin yanlış öğrendiğini tespit etmek olmuştur. Daha sonra bilgi testi ve anket hazırlanarak araştırma yapılan okullarda uygulanmıştır.
