    A comparison between the traditional lecture method and concept mapping method on teaching boolean algebra
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2011) Cemil Tosik
    In education implemented throughout the history of humanity, all kinds of information and social values intended to be transferred to the young generation are realized by teachers. The higher quality of teaching, the more achievement of student is. To achieve the goal of teaching and learning, the teacher must adopt effective teaching and learning methods in education. The teacher has many options to choose from different methods designed specifically for teaching and learning. The purpose of this research presented here is to investigate the effects of using concept maps on student achievement at teaching 'Binary System and Boolean Algebra'. Nowadays the information easy to reach but to keep in mind and to reach new findings and synthesis are quite difficult. In educational process for effective learning, the teaching materials for the learning purpose should be comprehensible and appropriate for the students. Furthermore, the learners are expected to construct the concepts and relations of the learning materials so as to achieve the desired learning objectives. Concept mapping is a method using graphs for representing knowledge in a structure according to different levels of abstraction and inclusion. The method has been widely applied in many disciplines and various educational levels. This learning environment is intended to guide the learners toward general understandings of the subject they have to learn.

    The effect of mind mapping instruction on the attitudes toward geometry
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2011) H. Aliyev; Erdal Ayan
    This article examines the impact of mind mapping instruction on 8th-grade students’ attitudes toward geometry. Grounded in constructivist learning principles, the study explores how mind mapping, as a visual and associative note-taking technique, supports students’ comprehension, creativity, and recall of geometric concepts. The research was conducted with 52 students divided into experimental and control groups over an 8-week period. While the control group received traditional instruction, the experimental group was taught mind mapping techniques and used them consistently during lessons on angles and triangles. Attitudes toward geometry were measured using the Attitudes Toward Mathematics Inventory (ATMI). Results indicate that mind mapping instruction contributed positively to students’ enjoyment, confidence, and motivation toward geometry, while reducing anxiety related to the subject.

    Using cartoons and comic strips in teaching a language
    (Suleyman Demirel University, 2011) Yakup Doganay
    Nowadays a lot of methods have been searched to be able to find out the better, easier and more beneficial, techniques and principles of teaching a language more effectively. In this article you can see one of these studies. Writer presents and discusses here 'Using Cartoons and Comics in teaching a language' to make it more sensible and concrete that we can have the sense of touch and we can apply practically he gives each step of appliance of the lesson and its principle he also uses methods of asking and answering the questions to make it be more understandable. As a result he mentions that they may not be used as main resource but at least supplementary materials to make the lessons more comfortable, profitable and less stressful.
