Research questions are one of the basic elements that guide a scientific study as they determine the method, design, and analyses to be applied. Therefore, research questions and research paradigm are expected to be parallel. The problems encountered in preparing research questions in quantitative and qualitative methods become more apparent in mixed methods that require using both methods together. The aim of this study is to present the basics of the research questions of mixed method research, which is preferred to ensure validity and reliability in social sciences research. In the study, which was prepared with the literature review method, it was tried to reveal the basic features of mixed method research questions through an in-depth examination. At this point, the study defines the main components of mixed method research questions, presents examples, and explains how to conduct mixed method research. It is expected that this study will provide guidance for the effective use of more advanced approaches in future research applications by revealing the role of mixed methods research questions.

This study examines the effect on university students’ decision-making styles of an online decision-making skills psychoeducation programme focused on cognitive behavioural therapy. A nested design, which is one of the mixed method designs, was used in the study. In the quantitative part of the study, a quasi-experimental design was used to test the effect of the programme, while in the qualitative part, a phenomenological design was used. The quantitative data of the study were obtained through the “Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire”, while the qualitative data were obtained through a “Semi-Structured Interview Form”, “Session Evaluation Form” and “Psychoeducation Programme Evaluation Form”. The quantitative data of the study were collected from 22 participants, of whom 11 were in the experimental group and 11 were in the control group, and the qualitative data were collected from the 11 participants included in the experimental group. Descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, the Friedman rank test, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Mann-Whitney U test for independent samples were used for the analysis of the quantitative data. Content analysis was performed on the qualitative data. As a result of the study, it was determined that the psychoeducation programme caused a partially significant increase in the decision-making self-esteem and vigilant decision-making style, a partially significant decrease in the avoidant decision-making style, and a significant decrease in the procrastinating decision-making style of the participants in the experimental group. However, it was observed that the psychoeducation programme did not have a significant effect on the hypervigilant decision-making style of the students in the experimental group. When the views of the participants in the experimental group about the psychoeducation programme were examined, the main views were that the content of the programme was considered satisfactory, that the programme was evaluated as an awareness-raising process, that it aroused positive and motivating emotions, and that it was a beneficial study that provided practical and tangible gains.

Çocuk edebiyatı ürünleri ile kavram öğretiminin ilkokul üçüncü sınıf öğrencileri üzerindeki etkisinin incelenmesinin amaçlandığı bu çalışma, iç içe karma yöntem deseninde tasarlanmıştır. Karma desenin yapısına göre nicel ve nitel veriler bir arada kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutunda araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen kavram başarı testi, nitel boyutunda ise öğrencilerin öğretim planı ile ilgili görüşlerini tespit etmek amacıyla yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Ankara’da bir devlet okulunda öğrenim gören 78 üçüncü sınıf öğrencisi (deney grubu: 38, kontrol grubu: 40) oluşturmaktadır. Uygulanan program çerçevesinde kontrol grubunda kavram öğretimi için sadece düz anlatım tekniği, deney grubunda ise düz anlatımla birlikte belirlenen üç adet hikâye kitabı ile oluşturulmuş öğretim programı uygulanmıştır. Nicel bulgular için kavram başarı testi ön test- son test olarak kullanılmış ve testten alınan puanlarla ilgili aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma ve t- testi değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Nitel bulgular için ise görüşme formundan elde edilen veriler analiz edilerek kodlara ve temalara ulaşılmıştır. Her iki veri setinden elde edilen bulgular birleştirilmiş ve anlamlı bir bütün oluşturduğu, nitel bulgularım nicel bulguları desteklediği ve genişlettiği tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre çocuk edebiyatı ile kavram öğretimi sadece düz anlatımla yapılan kavram öğretimine göre öğrencilerin kavram bilgisi üzerinde anlamlı bir fark yaratmaktadır. Cinsiyet faktörünün her iki yöntemde de kavram öğretimi üzerinde etkisi olmadığı elde edilen diğer bir bulgudur. Ayrıca uygulanan planın öğrencilerde derse yönelik merak ve ilgi uyandırdığı ve çocuk kitaplarının diğer derslerde de kullanılmasına istekli oldukları görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak kavram öğretiminde çocuk edebiyatı ürünlerinin kullanılmasının hem ilkokul düzeyinde soyut nitelikteki kavramların somutlaştırılması ve hayatın içine katılması açısından hem de çocukların kitaplarla tekdüze olmayan bir ilişki kurabilmesi açısından oldukça faydalı olduğu belirlenmiştir.

This research aims to examine the entrepreneurship skill levels of primary school teacher candidates in the context of various variables, to determine the relationship between them and to reveal the views of pre-service teachers about these skills. In this context, the research was carried out by using simultaneous mixed design, one of the mixed method designs. The sample and study group of the research consists of prospective classroom teachers studying at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University. While the quantitative data of the research were collected using the "Entrepreneurship Scale" developed by Deveci and Çepni (2015), the qualitative data were collected with the interview form developed by the researcher. According to the quantitative results of the research, it was concluded that the entrepreneurship skill levels of the teacher candidates for themselves are above the average values both in the whole scale and in the sub-dimensions. Considering the themes and codes related to entrepreneurship skills based on qualitative results, it is seen that both types of data support each other, while the theme of entrepreneurship self-efficacy in the qualitative section differs from the result in the quantitative section with a low-level self-efficacy result. In the context of the results obtained from the research, suggestions for practitioners and researchers were developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Çizgi film izlemek, çocukların duyuşsal gelişimleri üzerinde büyük etkiye sahip olan olağan çocuk aktivitelerinden biridir. Bu araştırmada genel olarak çizgi filmlerin ilkokul öğrencilerinin duyuşsal özellikleri üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın yöntemi nicel ve nitel araştırma yöntemlerinin bir arada kullanıldığı karma yöntemdir. Çalışmada nicel verilerin toplanıp analiz edildikten sonra nitel verilerin toplandığı açıklayıcı sıralı desen kullanılmıştır Araştırmanın nicel verileri Mersin ilinin Tarsus ilçesinde öğrenim gören 126 ilkokul öğrencisinden elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın nitel verileri ise 12 öğrenci ile görüşme yapılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre çizgi filmlerin ilkokul öğrencilerinin duyuşsal özellikleri üzerinde oldukça yüksek bir etkisi vardır. Bu etkinin düzeyi kız öğrencilerde erkek öğrencilere göre daha fazladır. Ancak çizgi filmlerin ilkokul öğrencilerinin duyuşsal özellikleri üzerindeki etkisini sınıf düzeyleri değiştirmemektedir. Yapılan görüşmelerde çocukların çizgi filmlere yönelik olumlu duygular geliştirdikleri sonucuna varılmıştır.

Bu araştırmanın amacı öğretmen adaylarının öğretme motivasyonlarını incelemektir. Araştırmada çalışmanın doğasına uygun olarak nicel ve nitel veri araçlarının birlikte kullanıldığı karma yönteme göre yürütülmüştür. Araştırma, karma tasarımlardan açımlayıcı sıralı desen dâhilinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu desende nicel sonuçların açıklanması için nitel yöntemler kullanılmaktadır. Nicel yöntem, ilişkisel araştırma modelinde tasarlanırken, nitel yöntemde olgubilim (fenomoloji) deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel boyutu Türkiye’deki bir üniversitenin Eğitim Fakültesinde öğrenim göre 329 öğretmen adayı üzerinde yürütülürken, nitel boyutu bu örneklemden maksimum çeşitlilik örneklemesiyle belirlenmiş 15 öğretmen adayı üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın nicel verilerini toplamak amacıyla Kauffman, Yılmaz-Soylu ve Duke (2011) tarafından geliştirilmiş olup, Güzel-Candan ve Evin-Gencel (2015) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Öğretme Motivasyonu Ölçeği ile araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel kısmında ise tek sorudan oluşan ve öğretmen adaylarının öğretme motivasyonlarını etkileyen etmeleri belirlemek için yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın nicel bulguları öğretmen adaylarının öğretme motivasyonlarının yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte öğretmen adaylarının cinsiyetlerine, öğrenim gördükleri programlara ve sınıf düzeyine göre öğretme motivasyonlarının anlamlı düzeyde farklılaştığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın nitel sonuçları ise öğretmen adaylarının öğretme motivasyonlarını etkileyen olumlu etmenlerin olumsuzlara göre daha fazla olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu bağlamda nicel ve nitel bulguların birbiriyle örtüştüğü söylenebilir. Araştırmada öğretmen adaylarının öğretme motivasyonlarının belirlenmesi ve motivasyonlarına etki eden faktörlerin ortaya çıkarılması ve olumsuz etmenlerle mücadele etmek amacıyla gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalara bazı öneriler sunulmuştur.

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of STEM practices integrated with the science curriculum on female students' attitudes towards STEM and their opinions on engineer and engineering. The study group is composed of 87 students who are studying at an Imam Hatip Girls Highschool that is located in Muş city. A mixed method including qualitative and quantitative research methods was used in the study. Quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest control group was used in the quantitative dimension. "STEM Attitude Scale (SAS)" was used as the quantitative data collection tool and "Engineering Information Form (EIF)" was used as the qualitative data collection tool. Data analysis has shown that STEM practice is effective in improving girl students' attitudes towards STEM. It was also found that some of the students who had an opinion that engineering was a profession for men before the practices had started to have an opinion that after the practices, women might also be engineers. In addition, it was determined that STEM practices helped girl students to establish more connections between engineering, mathematics and science. In the light of these results, it is suggested that more importance should be given in STEM practices in curriculums and more STEM studies should be applied on girl students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
