Article Avrupa Birliği Eğitim Politikaları ve Türkiye(Bilim ve Teknoloji, 2014) Erton, İsmailToplumlarda eğitimin önemi bilhassa son 20 yılda bilim, teknoloji ve küresel iletişimin artmasıyla öne çıkmış, bireylerin ve devletlerin hayatlarında bugüne kadar olduğundan çok daha fazla önem kazanmıştır. Dünyadaki siyasi, jeopolitik ve ekonomik gelişmelere bağlı olarak gerekli olan alanlarda nitelikli insan gücünün yetiştirilmesi ve bu gücün o dönemin mevcut konjonktürüne bağlı olarak, Avrupa Birliği (AB) eğitim politikalarında da belirtildiği gibi, „yaşam boyu öğrenme‟ ilkesine dayalı olarak yetiştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Türkiye‟nin de dünyadaki gelişmelere ayak uydurabilmesi için 2000 yılında ortaya konan AB Lizbon Stratejisini benimsemeli ve gerekli adımları ivediyetle atmalıdır. Bu stratejide, AB eğitim programları temelde eğitim-öğretim kalitesinin gelişitirilmesi, bu kalitenin sürdürülebilmesi-mesleki eğitime yansıması ve yaşam boyu öğrenmenin toplumun bir hayat felsefesi haline gelmesi ve toplum bireylerinin kendi kabuklarından çıkarak bilgi çağında dünya toplumları ve kültürleri ile entegrasyonu hedeflenmiştir. Türkiye, bu hedefe göre 2009 yılında, Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı öğretim stratejileri planına bağlı olarak, Hayat Boyu Öğrenme Stratejisi planını hazırlamıştır. Bu planda 16 öncelik belirlenmiş ve plana dahil olan kişiler, kurum ve kuruluşlar için bir acil eylem planı oluşturulmuştur.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 31Health Literacy of Nursing Students and Its Effective Factors(Wiley-hindawi, 2019) Ozen, Nurten; Ozkaptan, Bilge Bal; Coskun, Sabahat; Terzioglu, FusunBackground The insufficiency of health literacy negatively affects the national economy as it leads to increased health service expenditure. It is very important for individuals to have accurate health-related information to reduce these negative effects. Aim The aim of the study is to examine the health literacy of nursing students and its effective factors. Methods This descriptive study was carried out with students from the nursing department of a vocational school of health sciences between September and October 2018 in Turkey. A semi-structured questionnaire regarding the descriptive features of the participants and the European Health Literacy Scale were used for data collection. Results The study included 283 nursing students; 29.3% had a problematic-limited health literacy level. The study found a statically significant difference between student year, high school graduation and family's income level and the total mean score of the HLS-EU scale. Conclusion The subject of health literacy should be integrated into the educational program of nursing students. The nurses are the most important workforce in health services, and awareness about this subject should be raised.Article Üniversitelerde Kalite Yönetimi(Bilim ve Teknoloji, 2013) Erton, İsmailGünümüzün sosyal, ekonomik ve teknolojik gelişmelerine bağlı olarak üniversiteler kimlik değiştirmektedirler. İyi eğitim, bir diğer deyişle eğitimde kalite, yerini üniversitelerde kalite yönetimine bırakmaya başlamıştır. Sadece mevcut fakülte ve bölümlerde, tecrübeli öğretim elemanları ile kurum genelinde kalitenin ve başarının sağlanamayacağını anlayan üniversiteler, aslında son 10-15 yıldır gündemde olan ve tartışılan üniversitelerde kalite yönetimi konusuna daha fazla eğilir olmuşlardır. Bu husus, o üniversitenin ulusal ve uluslararası arenada iyi bir yerinin olması ve işlerin sürdürülebilirliği için zaruri bir hal almıştır. Üniversitelerde kalitenin sağlanması dikkatle ve özenle tatbik edilecek aşamalı bir planı ve süreci gerektirmektedir. Bu sürece etki eden unsurları şöyle sıralayabiliriz.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 18Online Purchase Behaviour Among Professionals: a Socio-Demographic Perspective for Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Akman, Ibrahim; Rehan, MohammadThis study reports the findings of a survey concerning the impact of professionals' selected socio-demographic factors with regard to their online purchasing behaviour in Turkey, since this consumer group plays an important role in adopting new technologies in societies. The survey has been conducted using a 'face-to-face interview' approach during an IT event. To keep in line with the available literature, gender, age, education level, income and daily Internet usage, constitute the socio-demographic variants for this study. Five hypotheses were constructed to investigate the nature of the relationship between the socio-demographic factors and the usage of online purchasing. The chi-square method was selected to test the hypotheses. According to the test results, age, income and education level have a significant impact on the online purchasing behaviour of professionals.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4The Effect of Post-Learning Arousal on Memory in Education(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2015) Ozcelik, ErolCognitive psychological and neurobiological studies have shown that presenting emotional events after learning enhances memory performance. It has been suggested that arousal induced by emotional stimuli modulates memory consolidation. However, little is known about the memory consolidation process in education. The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of post-learning arousal on memory consolidation in an applied educational setting. Participants were presented with either emotionally arousing or neutral pictures after they studied the instructional materials. Their memory for instructional materials was tested by an immediate free-recall test and a recognition test administered after one week. The results suggest that presenting emotionally arousing pictures compared to neutral pictures enhanced recognition memory performance. These findings support that emotional stimuli facilitated consolidation of memory traces. By incorporating theories in cognitive psychology and neurobiology and using them in an educational setting, this study proposes a novel way to enhance learning through emotional arousal.Article Citation - WoS: 12The Role of Patient Awareness and Knowledge in Developing Secondary Lymphedema After Breast and Gynecologic Cancer Surgery(Mary Ann Liebert, inc, 2020) Pervane Vural, Secil; Ayhan, Fikriye Figen; Soran, AtillaBackground:This study aimed to compare the effects of awareness and knowledge on demographic and clinical factors in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) and gynecologic cancer-related lymphedema (GCRL) in the oncologic rehabilitation setting. Methods and Results:A total of 506 female patients with upper or lower extremity lymphedema, were evaluated for lymphedema education in their postoperative period. Only 74 survivors (25%) with BCRL and 34 survivors (16.83%) with GCRL reported that they had received information about lymphedema by physicians/primary health care providers. In breast cancer survivors, the time of diagnostic delay for lymphedema was shorter in the informed group (p < 0.001), and there was a higher rate of cellulite attacks in uninformed patients (p = 0.021). Duration between surgery and lymphedema was longer and duration of diagnostic delay for lymphedema was shorter in the informed group than uninformed group in gynecologic cancer survivors (p = 0.019,p < 0.001). There was a higher rate of cellulite history in the uninformed patients than informed patients in gynecologic cancer survivors (p < 0.001). In gynecologic cancer survivors who were educated about lymphedema were at an earlier stage than noneducated patients (p = 0.024). Conclusion:The rate of awareness about lymphedema among patients with a history of surgery for gynecologic malignancies is lower compared with those for breast cancer. In female cancer survivors, awareness and knowledge about lymphedema may lead to a later onset of lymphedema, lower lymphedema grades, and fewer infection.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 4Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis of Globally Distributed Team Collaboration in Design and Development of Software(2013) Milewski,A.E.; Serce,F.C.; Swigger,K.The goal of this study is to understand the dynamics of collaboration within globallydistributed teams working in a realistic HumanSystem Interaction design and software engineering context.

This paper reports the experience of teaching undergraduate software engineering students and discusses the main problems encountered during the course, along with suggestions to overcome these problems. This study covers all the different topics generally covered in the software verification and validation course, including static verification and validation. It is found that prior knowledge about software quality concepts and good programming skills can help students to achieve success in this course. Further, team work can be chosen as a strategy, since it facilitates students' understanding and motivates them to study. It is observed that students were more successful in white box testing than in black box testing.Article Citation - WoS: 168Citation - Scopus: 244E-Govemment: a Global View and an Empirical Evaluation of Some Attributes of Citizens(Elsevier inc, 2005) Akman, I; Yazici, A; Mishra, A; Arifoglu, AThis paper reviews and discusses e-government (e-gov) issues in general, its global perspective, and then reports the findings of a survey concerning impact of gender and education amongst the e-gov users in Turkey. Although the impact of gender and education in the use of e-gov has long been attracting interests of academics, no quantitative research has ever been realized in this field in the country. The survey was conducted among e-gov users with different gender and level of education from different sectors such as ordinary citizens, government, and private sectors. According to the comparative analysis the use of e-gov content and services is pervasive and is closely linked to gender and level of education. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc.

En azından evlerimizde kullandığımız elektrik bile beli bir teknolojik altyapıyı gerektiriyor. Hayatın hemen her alanında ve her sektörde teknoloji kullanılıyor. Eğitim sektörü de elbette bu pastadan payını alıyor. Günümüzde eğitim teknolojileri denilince herkesin aklına cep telefonları, tablet veya dizüstü bilgisayarlar ve projeksiyon cihazları geliyor. Oysa, 1795 yılında Nicolas-Jacques Conte’nin kurşunkalemi bulması veya Christopher Sholes’in 1868 yılında QWERTY klavyeye sahip ilk daktiloyu geliştirmesi de zamanın müthiş icatları veya başka bir deyişle teknolojik gelişmeleriydi. Peki ne değişti? Eskilere, yani X kuşağı ve öncesine soracak olursanız şu anki teknolojiye duyulan ihtiyaç çok abartılı ve gereksiz. Oysaki Y ve Z kuşakları için elektriklerin 5 dakika kesilmesi ve internetin devre dışı kalması tamammül edilemez bir durum! Aslında her kuşak kendine göre haklı argümanlar barındırıyor.
