The case study design, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the research. In this context, an attempt was made to reveal the adequacy of the activities in the textbook in terms of digital competence. For this purpose, a list of criteria was created by the researcher. The data was obtained through document analysis using the criteria list from the activities in this textbook. Descriptive analysis technique was used to interpret the data. As a result of the findings obtained from the analysis of the data, it was determined that examined only 10 of the 329 activities and 41 of the 128 preparatory studies were capable of measuring digital competence. Although 32 percent of the preparatory studies fill the gap of activities in terms of directing students to internet resources, it has been determined that they mostly measure the \"access to information\" item, while other items are measured very little or not at all. Since access to information alone will not be sufficient to gain digital competence, it has been concluded that the activities in this textbook are not sufficient in terms of digital competence.","PeriodicalId":153142,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal Bilimler ve Eğitim Dergisi","volume":" 708","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140989372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study will examine the dynamics of central government and local administration relations from a public policy standpoint, emphasizing the importance of collaborative policymaking and cooperation between the two levels of government. AFAD (disaster and emergency management presidency) faced criticism during the February 2023 earthquake in Türkiye sparking a public debate on the relationship between central and local administrations. The study will focus on Mersin, one of the provinces most affected by the recent earthquakes, and the Mersin Metropolitan Municipality. The Metropolitan Municipality's response to the earthquake in Mersin and the public services provided during the aftermath will be analyzed. The role assumed by Mersin Metropolitan Municipality in the context of disaster management is studied to firstly reveal the potential of local administration in terms of disaster management and secondly to show its relations with the central government. In the study, the analysis of the aid provided to earthquake victims will be based on the data of AFAD and Mersin Metropolitan Municipality. The qualitative analysis of the obtained data will reveal the potential of the central government-local administration relationship with structural and functional mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":153142,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal Bilimler ve Eğitim Dergisi","volume":" 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140994815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Contemporary scholars have been highly debating the intersection of cultures belonging to divergent groups and the identity crises of individuals within those groups. Accordingly, new insights based on understanding the invisible aspects of these relations are gained to literature. In this study, Nigerian feminist writer Buchi Emecheta’s Kehinde (1994) is analysed through the lenses of culture and identity since the protagonist Kehinde is forced to prefer either her native African culture, called Igbo or her acquired European culture. Such pressure causes Kehinde to strive for two different identities: a Nigerian woman adhering to local traditions and a European woman favouring freedom, though she is inclined to the latter. The paper has been approached by theorist Homi K. Bhabha’s postcolonial notions since he holds culture and identity issues complementarily with particular terms which are hybridity and third space.","PeriodicalId":153142,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal Bilimler ve Eğitim Dergisi","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125733753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The usage time of digital media connected to the Internet is increasing gradually. According to the research, the time that young people use these channels during the Covid-19 pandemic period has doubled. Some young people who use digital media can neglect their responsibilities and develop wrong attitudes and behaviors in online environments. As a result of this, material and moral damage may also occur. For this reason, strategies should be determined on the correct, limited, and beneficial use of online and offline digital environments. The purpose of this article is to explain the causes of digital addiction caused by excessive use of digital media, the risks it poses to young people, and some precautions that can be taken by examining previous studies. The study is a compilation study. First of all, by scanning the literature, it is focused on what are the inevitable situations of digital addiction in digital environments. The causes of addiction along with problematic internet use are discussed. In addition to making life easier, digital media also provides information about the negative effects of academic failure, loss of self-esteem, stress, depression, and anxiety on young people. Then, intervention studies aimed at preventing, protecting against, and getting rid of digital addiction are mentioned, which support the limited, useful, and productive use of digital media, and also support digital addiction prevention.
