    THE CRITICAL EVALUATION OF A FACULTY OF EDUCATION WEB SITE BY COMPUTER TEACHER CANDIDATES
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Gezgin, Deniz Mertkan; Mihci, Can; Demir, Mehmet Emin; Buruk, Fulya
    The aim of this research is to investigate the Web site evaluation skills of computer teacher candidates as they assess the Trakya University Faculty of Education web site in terms of visual design, structure and navigation. The research utilizes a Web Site Evaluation form and a semi-structured interview in order to collect the required data. The analysis of the quantitative data has been carried out via descriptive statistical techniques; with the frequency and percentage distribution figures for each item given in charts; whereas the analysis of the qualitative data has been carried out through descriptive analysis techniques. It was concluded from the study that the computer teacher candidates found the faculty web site to be easy to use and fluid in terms of navigation and they reported that the site works as intended and without problems. However, it was also reported by the teacher candidates, that the faculty web site had neither a customized site search engine nor a promotional video and that, the promotional images needed a more professional touch in order to have a stronger effect on visitors. Another conclusion was that the computer education teacher candidates tended to pay attention on issues like color schemes in the visual design of a web site and that they preferred not having too much visual detail or animations within similar websites.

    An Examination of Digital Parenting Behavior in Parents with Preschool Children in the Context of Lifelong Learning
    (Mdpi, 2020) Tosun, Nilgun; Mihci, Can
    This study, which has been carried out as a needs analysis project, reflects results from preliminary work for designing from scratch a digital parenting educational program for parents with preschool children in the Turkish province of Edirne. Convenience sampling method was used and a group of 231 parents participated in the study. Qualitative and quantitative methods were both used in this sequential mixed method research of descriptive nature. The Digital Parenting Attitude Scale has been used for data collection purposes, alongside a questionnaire form developed by the authors. In conclusion, it was understood that; (a) the digital parenting attitude scores of participants were found to be relatively low, with an average score of 21.74; (b) half of the participants were not willing to participate in a digital parenting educational program and that those unwilling to participate were also those who displayed poor digital parenting attitude; (c) not only gender and employment status, but also other variables such as awareness in concepts of digital footprints or cyberbullying result in significant differences in terms of digital parenting attitudes; (d) descriptive accounts of Turkish parents show that they are prone to conceptualizing digital parenting as screen time policies only; and (e) digital parenting educational programs should focus not only on the digital but also on (conventional) parenting skills and the notion of sustainability. Results emphasize the importance of increasing public awareness towards concepts related to digital parenting, as well as the economic exploitation of children in the cyber world and the establishment of dialogue with the child on this critical matter. Further research in the subject, especially with (a) greater emphasis on sustainability, (b) greater contribution from male participants, and (c) on the subject of specific deterrents against participation in digital parenting education may be needed.
