Bal, Betül; Apaydin, Emine
Objective: This study aims to examine the relationships among perceived burdensomeness, technology use habits, and activities of daily living (ADL) in older adults residing in rural areas. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted with 384 older adults living in rural areas in two different regions of Turkey. Data were collected using an Information Form, the Geriatric Perceived Burdensomeness Scale, the Barthel Index for Activities of Daily Living, and the Technology Use Habits Scale. Results: Perceived burdensomeness was moderately and negatively correlated with ADL (r = − 0.484, p < 0.001), whereas technology use habits were weakly but positively correlated with BADL (r = 0.192, p < 0.001). In the hierarchical regression analysis, technology use habits showed a positive and statistically significant association with ADL in the initial model (β = 0.189, p < 0.001). When perceived burdensomeness was added to the model, it emerged as a strong negative predictor of ADL (β = −0.497, p < 0.001), substantially increasing the explained variance. In the fully adjusted model, perceived burdensomeness, age, digital device use, and duration of digital device use were significantly associated with ADL, whereas age did not significantly affect the relationship between perceived burdensomeness and ADL. Overall, perceived burdensomeness and technology use habits were identified as key factors related to functional independence among rural older adults. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that perceived burdensomeness and technology use habits are closely associated with independence in activities of daily living among older adults living in rural areas. These findings indicate an association between technology use and perceived burdensomeness and provide a foundation for future research in nursing practice and rural health services. Future research is recommended to focus on evaluating technology-based and psychosocial interventions that support independence and psychosocial well-being in rural older populations. Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

Isik, Cem; Ongan, Serdar; Günlü, Ebru; Aydin, Rahman; Imamoglu, Ilyas Kays
This study examines the effects of women's entrepreneurship, global warming, technological advancements, and unemployment on the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) across 38 OECD countries. Using country-specific panel causality methods, the analysis reveals significant asymmetries between developed and developing economies. Women's entrepreneurship (FEM) and technology (TEC) demonstrate stronger positive effects in developing countries such as Mexico, Slovakia, and Costa Rica, supporting SDGs 5 and 9. Global warming (SUR) negatively affects both groups, with notable impacts in Belgium, Mexico, and the UK, emphasizing the urgency of SDG 13. Unemployment (UNM) poses greater threats to sustainable development in emerging economies-particularly in Turkey and Latin American nations-while its influence remains limited in advanced countries. These results underscore the heterogeneous nature of SDG progress and suggest that universal, one-size-fits-all policies may fall short. Instead, national strategies should strengthen gender-inclusive entrepreneurship and innovation, while mitigating climate risks and labor market vulnerabilities. This paper presents a novel, multidimensional econometric framework and offers original insights into how interlinked economic, social, and environmental factors influence sustainability outcomes across diverse national contexts.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2023Scopus SJRQ3An Investigation of Digital Transformation Activities of Higher Education in Türkiye
Yavuz, Mehmet; Kayalı, Bünyami; Karaman, Selçuk
This study aimed to examine the digital transformation activities of universities. The document analysis method was used in the study, one of the qualitative research methods. In this context, the websites of 207 universities were examined using the "Digital transformation activities form of universities" developed by the researchers. The data were analyzed by content analysis method. As a result of the analysis, six broad themes, also called dimensions in the current study, emerged, such as research, education, culture, process, technology, and community service regarding digital transformation activities of higher education institutions. Infrastructure studies, educational activities for research and supply and the use of smart systems to provide various cooperation opportunities are discussed within the scope of the research dimension. There are online scientific studies, online education programs, digital resources, and open access opportunities in the education dimension. As for the culture dimension, online manager activities for corporate culture, training of trainers, culture-arts and scientific activities took place. With the transfer of business processes to the digital environment, corporate promotion and communication activities were included in the process dimension. In the technology dimension, smart systems, smart campus applications and innovative technologies took place. Finally, the scope of community service compromised related units, university-industry cooperation activities and social activities. As a result, universities carry out activities to support processes such as education, research, management, and cooperation and to realize them in digital environments. For this purpose, it can be said that they perform effective and efficient processes by using various intelligent systems.
AtıfScopus7OpenAlex10İncele - Yüksek Lisans TeziAçık Erişim2015Matematik öğretmeni adaylarının öğretmene biçtiği roller ve teknoloji kullanım düzeylerine mikro öğretim yönteminin etkisi
Ali Ergün
Teknoloji alanında yaşanan gelişme ve değişmeler her alanda olduğu gibi matematik eğitiminde de köklü bir değişimi zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu değişim sonucunda matematik öğretim programlarında teknolojiye verilen önem artmış ve matematik öğretmenlerinin teknoloji okur-yazarı olmaları adına yapılan çalışmalar değer kazanmıştır. Bilindiği gibi matematik öğretmenlerinin teknoloji donanımlı matematik öğrenme ortamları hakkında bilgi sahibi olabilmelerinde lisans eğitimleri sırasında aldıkları eğitim çok önemlidir. Bu eğitimde mikro öğretim yöntemi önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında öğretmen adaylarının teknoloji donanımlı matematik öğrenme ortamlarına hazırlanabilmeleri için 5 haftalık bir süreçte mikro öğretim faaliyetleri yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın örneklemini 2 kız, 3 erkek olmak üzere 5 öğretmen adayı oluşturmaktadır. Durum çalışması yönteminin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak gözlem ve mülakatlar kullanılmıştır. Gözlemlerin her biri video kaydına alınmıştır. Verilerin analizinde teknoloji kullanım düzeyi göstergeleri ve öğretmen rolleri ile ilgili açıklamalardan faydalanılmıştır. Bulgular incelendiğinde mikro öğretim öncesinde öğretmen adaylarının teknolojiden genellikle Düzey-1'de faydalandıkları görülmüştür. Mikro öğretim sonrasında ise teknolojiyi Düzey-2 ve Düzey-3'te kullanmaya eğilimli oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca mikro öğretim öncesinde teknoloji donanımlı ortamlarda öğretmenlere öğretici rolünü biçen öğretmen adayı sayısı daha fazla iken mikro öğretim sonunda kolaylaştırıcı öğretmen rolünü biçen öğretmen adayı sayısının daha fazla olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak mikro öğretim yönteminin teknoloji donanımlı ortamlarda öğretmene biçilen rolü öğreticiden kolaylaştırıcıya doğru değiştirmede ve teknolojinin daha üst düzeylerde kullanılmasında etkili olduğu görülmüştür.

Karadag, Zekeriya; Chova, LG; Martinez, AL; Torres, IC
Pre-service teachers, taking a method course to teach mathematics at elementary classroom, were exposed to explore various activities by using soma cubes. The research explores the participants' evolving ability of spatial visualization, which was very low at the beginning. They were struggling while drawing or constructing even very basic constructions. However, the improvements were accelerated as they integrated technological tools, StarBoard and SketchUp because of the flexibility and usability provided by these tools. The main corpus of data consists of participant own reflections on the pros and cons of integrating technology and how technology affected their visualization and spatial reasoning.
