The language, information, and visuals used in history textbooks are considered very important data tools for these studies. In this research, which has a qualitative approach, the 9th grade history textbooks taught in 2013 and 2023 were compared in terms of women's history. The aim of the research is to make a comparison of the 9th grade history textbooks taught in 2013 and 2023 in terms of women's history and to reveal the point reached regarding women's history. In line with this purpose, document analysis was preferred as the method. The 9th grade history textbooks were selected through the purposive sampling method. Content analysis was used to analyze the data. According to the findings of the study, history textbooks reveal a regression in terms of women's history. Most of the female names identified in the history textbooks taught in 2013 are not included in the history textbooks used in 2023. The visuals in the book are not sufficient in terms of women's history. It can be thought that the changing history programs have an impact on this outcome since textbooks are written within the framework of history programs. It can also be argued that not enough sensitivity has been shown to the inclusion of women's history in textbooks.","PeriodicalId":309467,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi","volume":"92 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141105895","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 research was carried out in a public school located in Manavgat district of Antalya province. The study group of the research consists of 40 volunteer students (20 in the experimental group, 20 in the control group) studying in two different branches of the 4th grades in the spring term of the 2021-2022 academic year. The research was designed in the form of a pre-test and post-test control group and the quantitative data of the research were collected through the 'Mental Skill Assessment Test' developed by Marangoz (2018). The experimental group was given a total of 16 hours of intelligence games training for eight weeks, two lessons per week (80 minutes). In the research, a valid and reliable ready-made test developed by Marangoz (2018) (Mental Skill Assessment Test) was used to evaluate students' mental skill levels (strategic thinking, focusing attention, analyzing, establishing a part-whole relationship, visual perception, benefiting from clues). This test was applied to the experimental and control groups as a pre-test and post-test. The Normality Test was conducted to investigate the normal distribution of the data as a result of the research. In the research, 6 different intelligence games were used for 10 weeks. In order to examine the relationship between the pre-test and post-test scores of the experimental and control groups before the application, the dependent sample t-test was performed. In the research, it was observed that there was a significant increase in the mental skills of the experimental group students, who were played 6 different intelligence games for 10 weeks. According to the results of the research, we can say that intelligence games improve the mental skills levels of students.","PeriodicalId":309467,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi","volume":"62 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141106080","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}

Literary works analyze space through the discipline of architecture. In novels, perceptual space is created through the character's multi-sensory perception, where senses become perceptions and perceptions become behaviors. The sense of sight dominates the perception of space, but other senses such as smell, hearing, touch, and taste also play a significant role in how space is perceived and given meaning. José Saramago's dystopian novel Blindness, which deals with the experiences of a group of individuals who lose their sight due to an epidemic, provides a unique opportunity to explore the production of perceptual space through the changing dynamics of space. As such, the novel is an ideal case study within the scope of this qualitative research project, which aims to examine the reflections of visually impaired individuals on space and analyze the perceptual and sensory aspects of space in the novel. Data were collected through purposive sampling and analyzed thematically, resulting in the formation of 10 themes expressed through 49 codes. The themes were transformed into visual expressions with form language. While Blindness has been the subject of numerous studies, this research project explores the novel from an architectural perspective, an angle that has not been previously explored.","PeriodicalId":309467,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122897539","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}

(Ömer, 2008). Individuals with positive psychological characteristics are more likely to cope with demanding job-related tasks and adapt to these demands easily than individuals with negative psychological characteristics (McNeill, Cheyne, 2008). In terms of an individual's characteristics, we could mention psychological well being. On the other hand, there are external sources that may contribute to lower levels of burnout such as social support. Social support is understood as the individual resources that help in coping with demanding situations and can be acquired by means of interpersonal interactions (McNeill, Cheyne, 2008). In this study, it was tried to decrease the burnout levels of academicians through art therapy and breathing exercises. Academicians from various provinces of Turkey who participated voluntarily were assigned to the art group they preferred, and these studies, which were carried out with a total of 6 academicians, 3 people in each group, lasted for 1 month. The burnout, psychological well-being and perceived social support levels of the participants were measured with the pre-test and post-test methods through scales. In order to better evaluate the results of the 1-month studies conducted with the participants, in-depth interviews were conducted with semi-structured questions. As a result, there was a decrease in the burnout levels of the participants, and an increase in the levels of psychological well-being and perceived social support.","PeriodicalId":309467,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130110065","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}

With her linguistic strategies aiming at deconstruction of the language, Roy unveils how the voice of the subaltern is located on the margins of the dominant discourses, and therefore, listening to the subaltern’s voice requires dwelling on the alternative spaces of existence constructed by the subaltern. Estha’s refusal to speak, Ammu, Velutha and Rahel’s resistance to the laws that determine interpersonal relations and their use of the language of the body are among the significant examples of the mechanisms used by the subaltern to resist domination. By exploring Roy’s linguistic strategies through close reading and textual analysis of the silences and alternative linguistic positions of the postcolonial subject, who is further marginalised by gender, caste and religion, from a position that combines postcolonial theory with a Lacanian perspective, this study aims to highlight how Roy creates a unique linguistic expression through the subversive strategies she utilizes to disrupt hegemonic power structures and challenge the established norms of society, culture and language. Designing, constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing, as in the architectural profession in which she was trained, Roy transforms standard English into an effective tool of communicating the postcolonial subject’s experiences of subalternity.","PeriodicalId":309467,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127146645","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 draws parallels between the Miltonic dialectic of creation and destruction and the Kristevan dialectic of the semiotic and the symbolic. Hence, it argues that the nativity of Eve and the creation of the universe embody the semiotic chora, while the allegory of Sin and Death, and the description of Chaos represent the abject maternal body. On one hand, positive reproductive images are utilised in the description of the birth of Eve and the creation of the universe. This evokes the impulse to retreat into the semiotic chora, a realm of sheer fullness and opulence, where there is no clear division between self and other. The longing for this realm, this paper claims, corresponds to the fallen human beings’ desire to regress into heavenly oneness. On the other hand, negative images of birth and womb are employed in the accounts of the Chaos and the allegory of Sin and Death. This represents, this article asserts, fear and revulsion that one feels because of reverting into the giant nocturnal uterus, where identities are annihilated and boundaries are shattered as the engulfing and choking womb deforms all distinct forms, shapes, and distinctly defined identities. This dialectical oscillation between a yearning to relapse into the semiotic chora and a deep anxiety over losing one’s autonomy in the devouring womb characterise Paradise Lost.","PeriodicalId":309467,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121648742","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}
