- Patriarchal Subordination of Women and Nature in Doris Lessing’s The
Grass is Singing and Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman
Authors: Barış AĞIR
Abstract: By challenging patriarchal worldviews and anthropocentric ideology and advocating for new, more harmonious relationships among humans, non-humans, and the natural world, ecofeminism tries to understand the connection between genders and environmental degradation. Anthropocentrism and patriarchy are shown to be the primary causes of the oppression of women and the natural world by men, and a biocentric worldview is advocated as a solution. This study, which compares Doris Lessing's The Grass is Singing and Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman, focuses on the tragic endings shared by women and the natural world in both novels. When reexamined via the lens of ecofeminism, the two works reveal a shared concern for the welfare of women and the natural world, as well as a critique of patriarchal society's destructive effects on both.

- Homelesness in Accented Cinema: Little Palestine (Siege Dıary) (2021)
Authors: Seher ŞEYLAN
Abstract: The cinema, which feeds on personal and collective experiences, conveys the story of being uprooted from their homeland, in a sense, within the framework of Accented Cinema. The accentuated state emphasizes the character's displacement by being uprooted. Accented, which is the developed state of transnational cinema, which is included in the third cinema, also carries traces from the life of the director and the writer. In this respect, they question their own experiences or similar experiences in their films. At the forefront of these experiences is homelessness, which begins with the loss of home-in-root-fame.The journey of the homeless often turns into a life of exile, where it is often impossible to return home. While this process makes the person the subject of a never-ending journey, the complex feeling of being uprooted finds its place as a never-ending road story in the films with accents. In this context, the interaction of homelessness with spatial loss gains importance.The aim of this study is to examine the necessity of leaving the motherland for various reasons and the effects of deterritorialization in Accented Cinema. For this purpose, the documentary Little Palestine (Siege Diary) (Abdallah Al-Khatib, 2021) will be analyzed within the framework of the concept of deterritorialization.

- Searching for Traces of Traditional Turkish Culture in Neşet
Günal's Paintings
Authors: Gültekin AKENGİN; Mehmet Hilmi ULUSOY, Güler ARIK
Abstract: Art is an ongoing phenomenon that is shaped by cultural transfers from generation to generation. The artist has a very important place in this phenomenon with the mission of creating and shaping the society. He is influenced by the basic elements that make up the culture and unity of the society he lives in, and reflects the impressions gained through this interaction to his works through his own filter. The use of local elements in Turkish art has been frequently encountered in the formation of national culture. The Turkish society, which tends to create its own culture and protect these cultural elements, has trained many artists. Artists who grew up in this environment, along with the Republic, tended to produce works in the effort of expressing national/regional values through art. They have brought new interpretations by basing their sources on Anatolian culture. Turkish artists, who grew up in this society, worked on soil and human-based subjects, together with local folkloric elements. Elements such as nature, people's lives, struggles, and difficulties arising from geography have been the subject of the painting. In this sense, the works of Neşet Günal, one of our artists who mainly focus on local issues in Turkish art, mirror the reality of the geography and people in which he lives. In the research, the biography of Günal, who has a special place among the artists in question, was briefly mentioned, and the traces of Turkish culture that inspired the works of the artist in general and the life of the Anatolian people were examined.Neşet Günal was born in a family whose livelihood is viticulture. While he was studying in Nevşehir, he supported his family and entered the Faculty of Fine Arts with a municipal scholarship. Later, by going to the west, the artist, who received education, succeeded in transforming the rural village life, which is a local theme, into a universal painting representation. In our research, it is aimed to find traces of Turkish culture in the works of the artist, focusing on the works of Neşet Günal, who has become one of the representatives of the most important figurative trend of contemporary Turkish painting. The traces of Turkish culture that Neşet Günal mentioned in his works were examined by selecting the leading works in the context of searching for Traces of Turkish Culture, since it is not possible to fit all of the works of the artist into the pages of this work. The study was presented by using literature review and qualitative research method.

Abstract: The present study aims to perform the validity and reliability analyses of the Technology Device Interference Scale and Technology Interference in Life Examples Scale and adapt it into Turkish culture. 252 women living with their spouse residing in Denizli province participated in the research. Expert opinions was referred to for the language validity and content validity of the measurement tools. In order to ensure the construct validity of the scales, a Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed. As a result of the analysis, model fit indices of the Technology Device Interference Scale were calculated as x²/sd=0.23, RMSEA=.000, RMR=.006, GFI=1.00, AGFI=.99, CFI=1.00. Model fit indices of the Technology Interference in Life Examples Scale were calculated as x²/sd=1.59, RMSEA=.04, RMR=.06, GFI=.99, AGFI=.96, CFI=.99. These values show that the factor structures of the scales give acceptable and valid results. The Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients of the measurement tools were found to be .74 for the Technology Device Interference Scale and .86 for the Technology Interference in Life Examples Scale. For the criterion-related validity of Technology Device Interference Scale and Technology Interference in Life Examples Scale, the correlations between the Problematic Internet Use Questionairre-Short Form (PIUQ-SF) and Technology Addiction Scale were calculated by considering the measurement tools included in the development process of the scale. In addition, the test-retest correlation coefficients and the item-total correlation coefficients were calculated, which were performed with an interval of three weeks. As a result of the analyses performed for the criterion-related validities and test-retest correlations of the Technology Device Interference Scale and Technology Interference in Life Examples Scale it was shown that the coefficients were adequate. The total item correlation values of the scales range between .48 and .73. The results of the present study show that the Technology Device Interference Scale and Technology Interference in Life Examples Scale is valid and reliable measurement tools.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of STEM activities developed using the Engineering Design Process (EDP) within the scope of the "Simple Machines" unit on eighth grade students' understanding and scientific process skills. The research was carried out using a mixed method. The study group consists of 11 students (N boys = 6, N girls = 5) studying in the eighth grade of a village school in Giresun province in the 2018-2019 academic year. In the study, STEM activities developed using the EDP within the scope of the "Simple Machines" unit were applied to the experimental group. In the research, as data collection tools, "Two-Stage Simple Machine Test (TSSMT)" consisting of 16 questions and two stages, Science Process Skill Test (SPST) and semi-structured interview about subject concepts and teaching practices were used. The data obtained from the TSSMT and the SPST applied as pre and post tests to the students were analyzed and compared with the SPSS program. After the application, the data obtained from the semi-structured interviews with the students about the concepts of "Simple Machines" and teaching practices were subjected to content analysis. In this study, it was concluded that EDP-focused STEM activities provide a significant increase in students' understanding of the concepts related to "Simple machines". However, although EDP-focused STEM activities provide a slight increase in developing students' scientific process skills, it was determined that this increase was not statistically significant. In addition, although the students stated that they had difficulties in the process, when the whole process was considered, it can be said that they had the opportunity to develop many aspects such as harmonious working, effective communication, social skills, developing new ideas, responsibility, problem solving, decision making and overcoming difficulties.

- The Relationship between Teaching-Learning Conceptions and Sense of
Self-Efficacy of Pre-Service EFL Teachers
Authors: Şeyma YILDIRIM; Adnan BİÇER
Abstract: Teachers’ teaching-learning conceptions and sense of selfefficacy are important constructs that can affect each other and directly influence the effectiveness of teaching. This study investigates the relationship between teachinglearning conceptions and sense of self-efficacy of preservice EFL teachers using a mixed-method research design. The quantitative data were collected from 374 4th grader pre-service teachers who were studying ELT in state universities. This study used the Turkish versions of the Teaching and Learning Conceptions Questionnaire and Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale. Open-ended questions were used to gather qualitative data from 42 pre-service teachers who consented to respond. Descriptive statistical techniques and content analysis were used for the data analysis. The study found that teachers adopted a constructivist conception more than a traditional one. The results also suggest that the pre-service teachers have high level of self-efficacy beliefs. The results showed that preservice teachers' teaching-learning conceptions and sense of self-efficacy were related. High and positive correlations were found between their constructivist conception and efficacy for student engagement, efficacy for instructional strategies, and efficacy for classroom management. The preservice teachers felt efficacious in instructional strategies, student involvement, and classroom management. Their traditional conception is negatively correlated to their efficacy for student engagement.Taking the results into consideration, implications and suggestions were formulated for the main stakeholders of language teacher education.
