    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Social Context of the Paradise Lost]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the Paradise Lost, John Milton tried to explain how evil is seductive. It is one  of the reasons why he portrayed Satan with ultra human dimensions in Book I and II.  And what makes Satan so heroic is not the particular situation he is in or any facts about him:  his magnificence comes from the inspired verse which Milton puts into his speeches. No one  reading these speeches can miss their power and eloquence.  It is no accident that when Winston Churchill was looking for something to rally the British  people after the military disaster of Dunkirk, he used these lines on the radio. There is nothing  in English literature to match the heroic determination, power, courage, and energy  manifested here and throughout Satan&#039;s early speeches. And his followers are appropriately  energized.  At very end Paradise Lost was more than a work of art. Indeed, it was a moral and political  treatise, a poetic explanation for the course that English history and Human kind had taken.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This research, aims to assess the critical thinking abilities of  prospective primary school and primary science teachers, was obtained by using  California Critical Thinking Tendency Scale The inventory was applied to 560  randomly selected prospective teachers (ranged from 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year) in  Faculty of Education at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University in Turkey in 2006 and  analysed using SPSS program. The students who answered entry incorrectly excluded  from the study. Finally, the answers of 480 teacher candidates were taken into  consideration. In the analysis of data t, variance and Tukey’s statistic tests were used.  It was found out that the point of views of teacher candidates from both  departments about the whole inventory were between 31 and 39 (they’re not sure  about critical thinking disposition). On the other hand, a significant difference was  not found between the gender, learning methods and critical thinking dispositions of  teacher candidates. It was also found out that there is a significant difference between  teacher candidates grade levels, their self confidence and their ways of searching for  truth.  Today’s teacher candidates who will become teachers of tomorrows are  expected to improve ‘critical thinking skills’ through education process. Therefore,  the teacher candidates should have critical thinking skills in order to contribute the  development of their countries.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Television as a product of modern technology is a magic box that deeply affects  societies at all time and space. Television uses images and sounds to communicate at the same  time, live as a witness to events and having advantages and the experience to viewers as  opposed to pre-modern communication means. It has a different position over the other mass  media because of transmitting video and sound simultaneously. In its early broadcasting times  television content was mainly used for transmission of news and educational purposes. In the  course of time, development of technology has paved the way for a change in the use of  existing functions and made the television an important apparatus for entertainment and  leisure time. The study’s main theme is to introduce audience preferences, especially receiving  prime time news in context of uses and gratifications approach. Television is a medium which  can bring up the news and the news events at the same time they occur. The time between the  event and the broadcasting is ‘zero’. It is a medium that has an advantage to transmit and reach  to its audience instantly. It is using this advantage in a wide range of ways.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Evaluation of Elementary Education 6th Grade Turkish Workbook from  The Point of Constructivist Grammar Teaching]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[The skill area of language covers listening/watching, reading, speaking and  writing; the knowledge area covers grammar. Grammar is the set of rules supporting basic  language skills. It is important for students to learn about the rules and knowledge  composing the structure and function of a language so that they can support other skills.  Undoubtedly, the way of functional and permanent grammar teaching is firstly to explain  about the knowledge and rules of language and then to construct them. The presence of  such an understanding in grammar teaching is possible primarily through the presence of a  Turkish Course Teaching Program prepared as based on constructivist approach and the  presence of teaching materials formed parallel to this. It is known that course books as a  teaching material play an important role in having students acquire certain skills. At this  point, it is obvious that there is a need to determine if course books possessing great  importance were prepared in accordance with the constructivist approach. The present  study aimed to evaluate the 6th Grade Turkish Workbook, one of the Turkish teaching  materials and expected to have been prepared in accordance with the constructivist  approach and still in use; it also aimed to determine the extent to which the various  activities in grammar teaching area included in the book meet the requirements of the  constructivist approach]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Effective school development is a project which links school  effectiveness and school development. Research studies have shown that  obtaining positive results in effective school development depends on the  school’s strategy creation capacity (Leithwood, &amp; Hopkins, 2006).  Considering the fact that 21st century is uncertainty, risks and chaos; it will  be undertood better how important it is to develop strategies and for the  administration to undertake leadership roles. Therefore, it might be said that  the leadership required by the organisations of the third millenium is  strategic leadership. This current research aims at handling the dynamics of  effective school development within the framework of strategic leadership  and thus evaluating and analysing them.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Under increasing impacts of global warming, effective water use and using  minimum amounts of water for irrigation have become the most critical issues to be  considered in irrigated agriculture. In this research, effects of water stress on yield and  some quality parameters of broccoli were investigated. Three different growing periods  (early vegetative, late vegetative and flowering) and four different water deficit levels  (80%, 60%, 40% and 20%) were applied to Maraton F1 broccoli cultivar. Yield per  plant, total leaf area, total chlorophyll, total sugar content, and antioxidant activity have  been determined. While a yield of 667,84 g/plant was obtained from control treatment  with 100% irrigation without any water deficit, a yield of only 101,59 g/plant was  obtained from 20% irrigation treatment. However, a yield of 591,01 g/plant was  obtained from 80% irrigation treatment applied at early vegetative period.]]></dcterms:abstract>

Being natural balance element, erosion  prevention, clean water, air and food production and protection of genetic resources of  many plant and livestock organism can be accepted among these.  Because of rapidly growing urbanization, industrialization and tourism, meadow and  pasture resources in the Mediterranean region have been polluted with different pollutants.  In this study, soil pollution research was done in pastures near intensive industry and  tourism region of Antalya. Concentration of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Hg elements were  analyzed in 12 samples from 3 different pastures as 4 samples from each one.  Results showed us that the concentration of Ni was higher than the limits written in Turkey  Soil Pollution Control Regulation. The other concentrations are lower than the limits  written in Regulation. This study is a precursor study which shows the needs of other  detailed study.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In Turkish, because of the definitive role of the state, attitude of employers and  powerlessness of the working class, the employers do not effectively have a say. In the EU,  the employees participate their workplaces in various methods as a part of European Social  Model. However, in the reconstruction process in the EU, labour and its participation  methods remained local in the European scale despite the globalisation of capital especially  with the increase of activities and relationships of MNCs. At this point, to reduce the  differences arising from national applications and the effects of the process of  reconstruction, the Commission has created a number of directives in order to provide the  right to information and consultation of employees. These directives became important also  for Turkey as of membership negotiations. This article aims to examine the employee  participation in Turkey and indicate the possible effects of EU information and consultation  directives.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[English abbreviations used on an international scale are of vital importance in the  daily usage of English not only speaking, but also in listening, reading and writing. In order to  be proficient in English, besides knowing the structures, vocabulary and other aspects of the  language, EFL learners should be equipped with standard uses of international abbreviations  such as WHO, ILO, and UN. To this end, 45 intermediate-level EFL students and 40 advanced  students, studying at Kafkas University, Turkey, were assigned as the subjects of the study.  The participants were given 20 most commonly used international English abbreviations in  written form and they were asked to write how much they know them. The results were  evaluated using SPSS 17 for windows. Descriptive statistics and Independent t-test were used  for the assessment of the results. According to the result of the study, USA UK ,and NATO  were known by the participants (100%) as they are encountered not only in the textbooks and  materials but also in the media, however the least known abbreviations were ECHR 0(0%),  RSVP 0(0%) and ILO 02(2,4%), respectively. The results showed that there was no significant  difference between male and female students as well as between intermediate an advanced  students (p&gt;0,05).]]></dcterms:abstract>
