The result indicated that Turkish students are mostly group-oriented learners and learn best through interacting with other students while learning. Gender also varies according to the three orientation areas under investigation. In the current study, no relation between achievement and learning style has been identified.Öğe English Trainees' Opinions on Professional Development and Pre-Service Education(Hacettepe Univ, 2013) Inal, Sevim; Buyukyavuz, OyaThe purpose of the present study is twofold; it finds out Turkish EFL teacher trainees' opinions and perceptions of their pre-service education, and explores how the trainees will improve themselves and catch up the latest development once they become teachers.

Bu çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesindeki İngilizce öğretmen adayları arasında kendini sabote davranışlarını araştırarak bu boşluğu ele almaktadır. Araştırma, katılımcılar arasında kendini sabote davranışlarının sıklığını incelemeye ve bunları etkileyen faktörleri belirlemeye odaklanmıştır. Bu nicel çalışmada bir anket tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Toplamda 106 katılımcının yer aldığı bu araştırmada Kendini Sabote Ölçeğinin kısaltılmış versiyonu kullanılmıştır. Yanıtların betimsel istatistikleri, öğretmen adayları arasında orta düzeyde kendini sabote olduğunu ortaya koymuş, erteleme ve yetersiz çalışma alışkanlıklarının en yaygın davranışlar olduğunu göstermiştir. Kendini saboteyi etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek için çeşitli çıkarımsal analizler yapılmıştır. Cinsiyet ve sınıfın etkisini değerlendirmek için bağımsız örneklem t-testleri kullanılmış fakat her iki faktör için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar ortaya çıkmamıştır. Bununla birlikte, katılımcıların ANOVA ile belirlenen not ortalaması kategorileri ile dışsal kendini sabote davranışları arasında kayda değer bir istatistiksel anlamlılık bulunmuştur.

The similarities of the female characters reflected in their works will be evaluated within the scope of comparative literature. It's possible to say that the two authors of the world literature tried to draw a strong, independent and combative woman image through the female characters they created, and convey their messages from local to universal values through the heroines in their works. The origin of similar and common images of women is mostly hidden in the life experience of both authors and their way of world view. The reflection and roles of similar female characters in the works of these two writers belonging to different genders and cultures in different contexts, are modern and innovative, far from the traditional female portrait., The world views and roles of modern women in the works of both authors will be emphasized within such formation, which could be elucidated as a rebellion against tradition and social codes, and a guiding attitude from another standpoint.Öğe Speech Acts and Personal Narrative: Analysing Meghan Markle’s Use of Speech Acts(Istanbul University, 2024) Inal, Sevim; Kamburoğlu, Nalan ErçinThis study describes the types and functions of speech acts performed by Meghan Markle during an interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.
