The influence of doctors educated in Europe played a pivotal role in this process. While the temperance movement and the discourse on degeneration swiftly integrated into the Ottoman Empire's educational system, they assumed a more radical form in the Republic of Turkey. This study explores how the temperance movement and the degeneration discourse were incorporated into Turkey's education system during the single-party period. Commencing from the early years of the Republic's establishment, the Hilâl-i Ahdar Society, alongside a cadre of distinguished psychiatrists affiliated with the society, assumes a leading role in initiatives aimed at imparting anti-alcohol education to the youth. It has been seen that degeneration is addressed from two perspectives, especially in textbooks and magazines for the youth: biological and social. Biological degeneration was rooted in the belief that alcohol use would lead to a corrupt race. On the other hand, social degeneration viewed alcohol use as a problem capable of causing societal disarray, economic instability, and moral decay. In both dimensions, a connection was established between the anti-alcohol movement, the country's population policy, and notions of patriotism in the educational system.","PeriodicalId":471405,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal bilimler ve eğitim dergisi","volume":"25 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134972251","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}

For effective geographical visual communication design, these visuals must first have a successful design. While visual design was previously an activity that could only be done by experts in this field, the tools developed with the support of technology have enabled many more people to make these designs even without any training. One of these tools is the Web 2.0 tool called Canva. Research shows that the visuals in the resources used in the geography teaching process are either incomplete or inaccurate. For this reason, the ability of geography teachers to make visual designs with Canva can eliminate this problem. For this, it is essential for geography teachers to be aware of the capabilities of this tool in visual communication design. In this context, the aim of this study is to reveal how the web 2.0 tool named Canva can be used in the teaching process of a geography course with examples. In order to achieve this goal, a descriptive literature review was conducted and document analysis, one of the qualitative research method designs, was used. According to the results obtained from the research, it was determined that Canva contains many geographical visuals, and these visuals can be used in different dimensions of geography teaching processes. At the end of the study, suggestions were made regarding the effect of Canva on the success of visual communication in the geography teaching process.","PeriodicalId":471405,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal bilimler ve eğitim dergisi","volume":"11 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134972424","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 \"Recreational Flow Experience Scale\" developed by Ayhan et al., (2020) and the \"Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale\" developed by Tennant et al., (2007) and adapted into Turkish by Keldal (2015) were used as data collection tools in the study. The research group consists of a total of 501 volunteer individuals, 344 males (68.7%) and 157 females (31.3%), selected by convenience sampling method among individuals attending the fitness center. The normality test of the obtained data was tested by checking the skewness-kurtosis values and it was determined that the data showed a normal distribution. In this context, in addition to descriptive statistics, pearson correlation and regression analyses were used in the analysis of the data. According to research findings, it has been determined that there is a positive relationship between recreational flow experience and mental well-being. Additionally, it has been observed that recreational flow experience has a positive effect on mental well-being, and recreational flow experience predicts mental well-being by approximately 17%. Accordingly, it was concluded that the flow experience experienced during recreational activities is an important factor in the mental well-being of the participants.","PeriodicalId":471405,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal bilimler ve eğitim dergisi","volume":"2 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134972252","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}

Within the scope of this research, in which a case study was used, the involvement of foreign students in in-school and out-of-school learning activities was determined. The researcher's observation notes and opinions of teachers and students are the basic data collection tools. The data were interpreted by content analysis. It has been observed that foreign students have adaptation problems in the social studies course. In many topics, especially in the themes of language and culture and citizenship, it was determined that foreign students could not adapt to the class and remained below the general average in cognitive and affective terms. Foreign students who considered themselves weak in language skills stated that they could not socialize and emphasized that this situation negatively affected their participation in the Social Studies course. The elements of Turkish history, democratic government, national holidays, Turkish family structure, Turkish cultural heritage in the Social Studies course are among the topics that foreign students have difficulty in making sense of. Foreign students who came from various countries such as Syria, Iraq and Libya and took refuge in Turkey stated that they experienced conflict in their inner worlds because they tried to evaluate these themes in the Social Studies course from their own social and cultural perspectives. It may be possible to diversify projects such as PİCTES and to include teachers in these projects and to carry out the process of integrating foreign students into the society in a healthier way.","PeriodicalId":471405,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal bilimler ve eğitim dergisi","volume":"C-33 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134972259","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}

If students do not cope with the difficulties encountered at this stage, their education may have to end. This study aimed to determine the problems and obstacles encountered by graduate students in the field of social studies education during their thesis work. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 students pursuing a graduate degree in social studies education. The data of the study, which is a qualitative research, were analyzed with descriptive analysis and the identified difficulties were thematized. Additionally, the participants were asked to assess the level of difficulty associated with these challenges. Based on the findings, students expressed that they encountered challenges, such as determining the topic of study, selecting appropriate methods and techniques, establishing effective collaboration with their supervisors, encountering conventional obstacles, accessing necessary resources for their theses, gathering information, following university-related procedures, and getting stuck in formal processes in the field study. Given these obstacles, it is imperative for academic institutions and relevant organizations to take preventive measures. It is also crucial to conduct research to offer solutions to these difficulties. Just as highlighting the issues encountered by graduate students sheds light on their difficulties, a similar investigation of the experiences of doctoral students during the thesis preparation process can provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges within graduate education.","PeriodicalId":471405,"journal":{"name":"Sosyal bilimler ve eğitim dergisi","volume":"441 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134972420","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}

Neighborhood councils are one of the practices that ensure the active participation of citizens in the social life created in 2002, by the Law of \"Démocratie de Proximité\" (proximity democracy) in France. The aim of this study is to examine and describe the neighborhood councils, one of the participation tools that enable its citizens to participate actively in community life. The quantitative analysis method was used as the research method in the study, and in this context, a literature review and document analysis were used. In the first part of the study, a conceptual framework was created over the concepts of neighborhood and participation and examples of neighborhood participation in the world were presented. Then, the decentralization reforms carried out in France since 1982 and the arrangements made to increase local participation in these reforms were examined.
