Öğe Cohesion in Compositions of Turkish and Immigrant Students(Edam, 2011) Coskun, EyyupCohesion refers to the relationships established between sentences and paragraphs via the units in the surface structure of the text. This study evaluated texts written by Uzbek origin immigrant students and Turkish students living in Hatay in terms of the use of cohesion devices (ellipsis, conjunctions, lexical cohesion, reference, substitution). Within the participants of the research, 98 immigrants (Uzbek) and 103 Turkish 5'th grade students living in Hatay were asked to write a story. These stories were analyzed by means of Cohesion Level Evaluation Scale and Cohesion Problems Inventory. Students' frequencies of using cohesion devices and the problems encountered in the use of cohesion devices were determined in categorical content analyze. The reliability of codifications was examined with the method of inter-rater reliability. According to the results of the research, no significant difference was found between immigrant and Turkish students in terms of the use frequencies of cohesion devices other than ellipsis. The average use of cohesion devices within each student (paper) are as follows: Ellipsis (15,4), conjunctions (15,4), lexical cohesion (11,2), reference (8,3), substitution (0,2). The study presents examples of reference, ellipsis and conjunctions from the submitted texts to illustrate typical problems experienced by the Turkish and Uzbek groups in using cohesion devices.Öğe Developing Children's Environmental Literacy Through Literature: An Analysis of 100 Basic Literary Works(Ani Yayincilik, 2011) Erdogan, Mehmet; Coskun, Eyyup; Usak, MuhammetProblem Statement: Development of environmental literacy, the ultimate goal of environmental education, should not be bound only to the natural sciences. It can also be developed though art and literature when considering the interdisciplinary nature of environmental education. Literary children's books, for example, can be an effective tool to develop students' environmental literacy. Even though MoNE suggested 100 classics for elementary and secondary education students to develop reading habits and to introduce the national and international classic works, a number of studies focussing on the implications of these classics on the educational process (policy and practice) and individual development of the students is limited. In this regard, the present study is one of the initial attempts to reveal the hidden and/or explicit effects of these classics on students' environmental literacy. Purpose of Study: The purpose of the study was to analyze the components of environmental literacy embedded in the classic works recommended by MoNE for Turkish elementary schools. Methods: For a detailed examination, the researchers randomly selected 10 classics from 63 well-known Turkish classic works for content analysis considering the framework of environmental literacy proposed by Simmons. Content analysis enables the researchers to examine what is or what is not in the selected written or visual document(s). The results reported the frequency and percentage of environmental literacy components embedded in the selected works. Findings and Results: The content analysis of these works revealed three types of main components (knowledge, affect and behavior) andseveral sub-components. Students' awareness of the natural environment and geographical pattern (morning-night and seasons-climate) was mostly emphasized in nearly all of the analyzed works. Students' affect and physical behaviors were relatively less emphasized. Conclusions and Recommendations: In the analyzed classics, environmental pollution, which is one of the main topics and emphases of Environmental Education (EE) was paid very little attention. Considering its interdisciplinary nature, EE should be infused in other subjects (i.e., art and literature) and various classroom activities taking place in humanity classes. In this regard, 100 classics suggested for the elementary and secondary school students can be used as a vehicle. This study was only realized with 10 selected classics out of 63 Turkish classics. Foreign classics were not included in the study. It is suggested to other researchers to conduct broader research with more classic works, including both national and international classics.Öğe Text coherence in the narrative texts of Turkish students and Bilingual Uzbek students in Turkey(Academic Journals, 2009) Coskun, EyyupOne of the most important characteristics of a text is coherence. Coherence can be briefly defined as the semantic and the logical integrity within a text. In this study, the texts written in a narrative style by 103 Turkish students and 98 migrant students (Uzbek) studying in the fifth grade of primary school have been compared in terms of text coherence. Findings of the study suggest that the success levels of both Turkish and migrant students in terms of text coherence are insufficient and there is no significant difference between the successes of these two groups and the problems related to the coherence show a similar distribution in each group. In this study, it has been found that the migrant schoolgirls are more successful than the migrant schoolboys although there are no such differences among Turkish students. The findings of the study also show that students regarded the act of writing as the disorderly arrangement of knowledge in the brain and putting it into a written form and they have extremely poor skills of thinking, deciding and planning which are required to compose a text.Öğe Trends in reading education: An analysis of postgraduate theses written in Turkey(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Balci, Ahmet; Coskun, Eyyup; Ozcakmak, HuseyinAcademic studies related to teaching mother tongue in Turkey started in 1990s and picked up after 2000s. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the post-graduate theses in the field of reading education written between the years of 1981-2010 with an integrated view. In the study, the scan with 76 concepts related to reading education was performed in National Thesis Centre. 239 theses, which were determined after the scanning process, were encoded with ternary encoding method.

Published by Elsevier Ltd.Öğe Trends in writing education: An analysis of postgraduate theses written in Turkey(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Coskun, Eyyup; Balei, Ahmet; Ozcakmak, HuseyinIn this study, 168 postgraduate theses in the field of writing education in Turkey were evaluated in different perspectives. Detected theses have been coded by the triple coding method in terms of types, years, universities, target groups and subjects. According to the results of research, 62.5% of theses were concluded between 2006 and 2010. 81% of theses are master and 19% of it is doctoral theses. Theses mostly intended to determine writing skills of primary and secondary students. In most theses, student's texts are evaluated as superficial or with formal qualifications. Theses in this area are centered on specific universities. (C) 2013 The Authors.

The research was applied on 363 first grade students who study in three faculties of Mustafa Kemal University. In the study, Argumentative Text Writing Form and Argumentative Text Elements Rubric developed by researchers were used as tool for collecting data. The achievement average of students regarding the argumentative text elements is like this: % 34.0 in data element, % 70.5 in claim element, % 26.5 in counter claim element and % 65.2 in result element. While the average of students' using the support reason in argumentative texts is 1.31, the average of using the refuting reason is 0.32. The average of using nonfunctional text elements per text is 0.22. In the study, it was determined that the students, who study verbal and equal weight subjects, succeeded more than the students who study life sciences.
