  • Secondary School Students' “Achievement Motivation” Towards
    Available online a t www.scholarsresearchlibrary.com Scholars Research Library Archives of Applied Science Research, 2011, 3 (2):121-134 (http://scholarsresearchlibrary.com/archive.html) ISSN 0975-508X CODEN (USA) AASRC9 Secondary School Students’ “Achievement Motivation ” towards Geography Lessons F. Aydın and M. Co şkun Department of Geography, Faculty of Arts, Karabük University, Karabük, Turkey ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to investigate the relations the achievement motive of secondary school students and the relations between the achievement motive and “gender”, “class level”, “parent education level” and “family income level” with variables. Total 151 students studying in high schools in the city center of Karabük in the academic year of 2010-2011 participated in the research. Survey model was used in the study. "The Achievement Motive Scale" was used as data collecting tool developed by Ellez (2004). The descriptive statistics, t-test and one way variance analysis (ANOVA) were used in the analysis of data. At the end of the study, the arithmetic mean of the views of students about the scale of achievement motivation has been determined to be 3.74. The views of students about the scale of geography lesson achievement motivation has shown significant difference according to “class level”, but did not show any significant difference according to “gender”, “mother’s education level”, “father’s education level” and “family income status”. Based on the findings of the study, suggestions for increasing the achievement motivations of the students towards geography curriculum have been developed. Keywords : Geography lesson, Geography education, Achievement motivation. ______________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION There is an important and separated place of motivation in training process.

  • The Turkish Landscape
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by E-LIS Open Access and Institutional Repositories: The Turkish Landscape Yaşar Tonta Department of Information Management, Hacettepe University 06800 Beytepe, Ankara, Turkey e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The development of the “Open Access” (OA) movement since early 1990s has been radically changing the scientific communication landscape. Within the last decade more universities and research institutions are recommending their scholars to make their works freely accessible through their web sites and/or institutional repositories (IRs). The research impact of OA articles as measured by the number of citations is much higher than that of printed ones. Several universities have developed policies to mandate OA and set up IRs to guarantee public access to the output of publicly funded research projects. Refereed journal articles, conference papers, theses and dissertations, and courseware (i.e., lecture notes, audio and video records of lectures) can be given as examples of such research output. This paper defines the concepts of OA and IR and briefly reviews the current situation of IRs in Europe. It then chronicles the development of IRs in Turkey. The paper concludes with some recommendations. Introduction1 There are some 24,000 scientific journals publishing 2.5 million articles each year. Scientific journals are expensive. The economic model of publishing is based on subscription and licensing. Price hikes in the publishing sector within the last 30 years are well beyond the inflation rates. This has been primarily due to lack of competition. Some publishers can easily become monopolies, as no two journals can publish the same article in view of copyright restrictions.
