    Yayla, İbrahim Erdoğan; Makas, Samet; Yıldırım, Selami; Dombak, Kübra; Çelik, Eyüp

    Objective: Today, the rapid development of digital technologies fundamentally transforms how children interact with media. This research examines the mediating roles of parenting stress and problematic media use in children on the relationship between digital parenting awareness and family harmony. Methods: The data for this study were obtained from 502 parents with children aged 4–11 years. Participants’ daily screen time was 1–2 h (55.8%), 2–3 h (26.9%), 3–4 h (12%), 4+ h (5.4%). Convenience sampling was the method employed for the present study. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were performed to analyze the data. Results: The correlation analysis concluded that all variables were interrelated. Furthermore, the structural equation model demonstrated that parenting stress and problematic media use mediated the relationship between digital parenting awareness and family harmony. Conclusion: This study has contributed to understanding the relationship between parenting stress and problematic media use in childhood, as well as the variables that mediate this relationship. It has provided a new perspective on the variables that should be focused on in preventing and intervening in children’s problematic media use behaviors. Practically, the research results provide a valuable reference for university educators, assist school counselors in reducing students’ problematic media use behaviors through education, and help parents improve their skills in raising their digital awareness.

    This study establishes EUROFIT reference values for physical fitness and anthropometric measurements in children aged 7-11 years in urban Kosovo. Analyzing data from 500 participants, the study examines age- and sex-based variations in motor abilities and morphological traits. Data was collected over three months, from April through June 2023, in a typical school setting during regular physical education class times. This environment was typically utilized by students to reduce performance variability caused by external conditions. Results reveal age-related increases in height, weight, and strength measures, consistent with growth trends during childhood. Boys showed higher performance in strength and power tests, while girls exhibited greater flexibility. The EUROFIT battery proved effective for assessing physical fitness across age groups. This research fills a data gap in Kosovo, providing valuable reference values for educators, coaches, and policymakers aiming to promote children’s health and physical activity.

    Background The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Life Kinetik (LK) exercises on balance, agility, jumping performance, proprioception, and cognitive functions in recreationally active preadolescents participating in fencing. Methods The study lasted 8 weeks and included 22 preadolescents recreationally engaged in fencing, aged 11.6 +/- 1.2 years, with an average weight of 49.5 +/- 10.5 kg and an average height of 157.5 +/- 10.0 cm. Preadolescents were randomly assigned to either the LK group or the control group. The experimental group participated in LK exercises twice per week, with each session lasting one hour. Results The results indicate that the changes in Stroop, agility, vertical jump, and proprioception test performance between the pre-test and post-test for the control group are not statistically significant. However, the LK group showed statistically significant improvements in Stroop, agility, and vertical jump performance between the pre-test and post-test (p < 0.001). Conversely, the change in proprioception test performance between the pre-test and post-test for the LK training group was not statistically significant. The changes in star balance test performance between the pre-test and post-test for the control group was not statistically significant. In contrast, the LK group showed a statistically significant improvement in star balance test performance between the pre-test and post-test (p < 0.001). Conclusions These findings indicate that while LK exercises are effective in boosting overall athletic performance, they may not be sufficient for developing specific skills such as proprioception.

    Çocuklar arasında yaygınlaşan argo-küfür kullanımının azaltılmasında ailenin ve okullarda verilen değerler eğitiminin rolü

    Züleyha Yıldız

    Argo-küfür toplum tarafından hoş karşılanmayan, çoğunlukla insanları aşağılama amacı güden ifadeler olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bununla birlikte; çocuktan büyüğe, gençten yaşlıya hemen her kesimde bu kelimelerin kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Günlük iletişimin vazgeçilmezi haline gelen bu kelimeler; özellikle çocuklar arasında da yaygınlaşarak günden güne ciddi problemler ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Bu araştırmada; çocuklar arasında gün geçtikçe yaygınlaşan argo-küfür kullanımının sebepleri öğretmen ve veli görüşleri çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı; çocukların argo-küfür kullanımının sebeplerini tespit etmek ve bu problemi azaltabilmek için aile ve okullarda verilen değerler eğitimi kapsamında çözüm önerileri sunmaktır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemi desenlerinden fenomenolojik desen tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolay ulaşılabilir durum örneklemesi kullanılarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışma grubunu Trabzon ve Rize'nin farklı ilçelerinde resmi eğitim kurumlarında görev yapan 50 öğretmen, Trabzon ve Rize'nin farklı ilçelerinde ikamet eden 25 veli oluşturmaktadır. Veriler; yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme soruları ile elde edilmiş ve betimsel analize tabi tutularak tablolara aktarılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, çocuklar arasında argo-küfür kullanımının; kaygılandırıcı bir davranış olarak kabul edildiğine, teknoloji kullanımının artmasıyla günden güne yaygınlaştığına, günlük iletişim dili olarak kabul edildiğine ve normalleştirildiğine, ailenin denetimi, ilgisi, bilinçli yaklaşımıyla azaltılabileceğine ve okullarda verilecek değerler eğitimi çalışmalarıyla önlenebileceğine işaret etmektedir.
