The study employed an exploratory case study, one of the qualitative research methods. In this research, videos on YouTube channels were determined by criterion sampling using the document review method. The identified criteria were as follows: the YouTube channel produces content for children, the YouTube channel is among the top 100 YouTube channels in Turkey according to the number of video views, the YouTube channel's videos are less than eight minutes in duration. The videos to be examined consisted of seven YouTube channels and the three most watched videos of each of these channels. 21 videos were evaluated through use of the YouTube Video Evaluation Rubric developed by Neumann and Herodotou (2020). The results revealed that the animated content on YouTube partially supported the child's imitation, had similarities with his daily life, had positive behaviours rather than negative ones, and reinforced them; moreover, these contents were identified to partially support cognitive and social-emotional development, while they were insufficient in terms of supporting physical development.

The research designed in relational screening model. The findings revealed that the motivation of the PGC, who were nominated by their teachers and parents, was above the medium level. The normality test results revealed that data distribution is normal. Thus, parametric tests were used during data analysis. The relationships between the PGC's motivation and their SRSs were examined through use of Pearson moment multiplier correlation analysis. Linear regression analysis was used to determine how motivation predicted children's SRSs. The results uncovered that PGC's general motivation was above the medium level. Mastery pleasure was found to have the highest scores, while social persistence with adults and social persistence with children had the lowest scores obtained from the seven dimensions of the scale. Considering the PGC's SRSs, their regulation skills were satisfactory in terms of dimensions, their control skills were above the medium level, and their SRSs are at a satisfactory level in general. Upon investigating the relationship between motivation and SRSs of the preschool PGC, the highest level and positive relationship between the dimensions of the self-regulation scale and the total scores was correlated with the general competence dimension of the motivation scale. The results of regression analysis suggested that general competence dimension of the motivation scale was the only variable predicting self-regulation total score and all of the regulation skills dimensions. Social persistence with adults dimension also predicted regulation skills together with general competence. It can be recommended to conduct studies based on longitudinal or mixed models in order to reveal the relationship between SRSs and motivation in preschool gifted children.

Research study groups were composed of 500 parents across various provinces of Turkey. The scale items written in the context of the literature were presented to field experts for their opinion in accordance with the scale's purpose, and the content validity index was calculated as proof of the scale's content validity (.89). A pretest application of the scale was conducted in accordance with the expert opinion, and the items were examined for their distinctiveness. A test application was conducted for the purpose of demonstrating the factor structure of the scale, and whether or not the data was appropriate for factor analysis by using KMO and Bartlett statistics. Factor analysis based upon principal component analysis was performed with the optimum application of parallel analysis, and according to both parallel analysis and scree plot, it was decided that the structure was fourdimensional. The percentage of the factors explaining the total variance was established as 49.9%. The item test correlation values of the items in each factor were found to be above .30 in accordance with the item analysis results. Two items that did not fulfill the criteria were removed from the scale by performing a confirmatory factor analysis to verify the structure. Factor loadings for 28 items in the scale were found to be higher than .30 and with error variances below .90. It was found that the McDonald's omega coefficients were between .71 and .88, and the Composite reliability coefficients were between .70 and .84 in the calculation of the reliability of the scale scores for each of the scale's four dimensions. For the whole scale, the stratified alpha reliability coefficient was calculated as .87. The obtained findings demonstrate that the "Creativity-Supporting Home Environment Scale" is a valid and reliable scale.

In addition to this, the current situation with regard to the applications of science education at preschool level has been attempted to be identified. Target population of the study consisted of 150 teachers who worked with 36 to 72-month children at the primary school preschool classes and kindergartens affiliated to the Ministry of National Education and the day care centers affiliated to T. C. Minister of Family, Labour and Social Services, in Sivas province. The research has been carried out using case study design, one of the qualitative research method. A 'Teacher Opinions Interview Form on the Content of PreSchool Science Education' has been developed the purpose of the research. Content analysis performed by researcher, descriptive statistics were produced for the data and the frequency and percent values of matters were calculated. In conclusion %78.9 of teachers expressed positive opinion and %7.5 reported negative opinion about science standards. In line with the data obtained from the research, teachers who expressed positive opinions, it is considered that involvement of 'content standards for science education' in the curriculum would assist teachers in leading science activities, enable planning classroom activities appropriate for the age and development characteristics of children and create learning experiences for children on different subjects/concepts, by ensuring gradual improvement of science education. The results showed that teachers who expressed negative opinions have some worries about education programme, practicing, classroom environment.

The Enderun school in the Ottoman period is the first systematic approach when considering the education of talented people. Enderun schools are a system based on the recruitment of non-Muslim children regarded as superior in body and mind. In this study, Enderun education was compared with today's gifted education by examining the Enderun Schools' history, theoretical and practical approaches in accordance with the aims stated above. The method of this study is the literature review. Primary and secondary sources were used in the literature search. The summary, synthesis, and examination of the information about the Enderun with the support of the literature have been influential in the selection of this method. The result of the literature study shows that Enderun Schools have similar characteristics in terms of cognitive, emotional and behavioral factors when compared to subsequent and today's high talent education institutions and practices. Applications in Enderun education system were not based on only academic skills, the system was established taking into consideration interests, abilities, and values of the students.

Discussions about how giftedness/talentedness can be conceptualized, identified, supported and predicted are still ongoing. The concept of giftedness/talentedness and the initial studies on the education of talented and gifted pupils seem to extend to Plato. In this study, firstly the definitions of leading names in the field about giftedness were examined and then field-specific terms were tried to be described. Many documents especially The Constitution of Turkish Republic, laws, decree laws, by laws, circulars and the Convention on the Rights of the Child have been examined in relation to the topic. In terms of the practices in the field of education, the Ottoman Empire period was briefly reviewed and information about the practices in Turkey was given. As a result, despite all the work mentioned, it has been found that there are various problems in the education of gifted and talented children and in supporting their skills. In order to solve the problems experienced by talented and gifted children in Turkey, it is necessary to develop a government policy regarding the education of talented and gifted children.

The study was based on 300 preschool teachers working in formal independent kindergartens and nursery classes of primary/secondary schools in the Kahramanmaraş Province of Turkey. Among the participants, 150 were chosen for pre-application and 150 for the main application. The scale consists of five different case studies and a total of 35 items, including dialogues that focus on mathematical content and processes reflected in children's talk during their play. In calculating the reliability of the scale, Cronbach Alpha was found to be .95 for the pre-application and .96 for the main application. For the validity of the scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed. The exploratory factor analysis results revealed the scale to be a single-factor structure. When the factor loads of each relevant item were examined, no item was found to exist with a factor load value of less than .30. After confirmatory factor analysis was performed, the model fit indices of CFI, TLI, RMSEA, and SRMR values were found to be .91, .91, .06 and .06, respectively. These results show the model to be reliable to an acceptable level. Based on the findings, it could be concluded that the scale is an instrument that produces valid and reliable measures, and that it can be used in order to determine the preschool teachers' pedagogical content knowledge regarding mathematics.

İncelenen kitaplar, 2005-2017 yılları arasında yayımlanmış, 3-6 yaş çocuklarına yönelik, kitapların metin ve/veya resim kısmında temel matematik becerilerine yer verilen toplam 147 kitaptan oluşmuştur. Elde edilen veriler, betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Matematik becerileri açısından bakıldığında öykü kitaplarının metin kısımlarının %18,88'inde, resim kısımlarının ise %34,22'sinde bu becerilere yer verildiği bulunmuştur. Resimli öykü kitaplarının metin kısımlarında geçen temel becerilerinin dağılımlarına bakıldığında en çok sayma, karşılaştırma ve sıralama becerilerine rastlanırken en az birebir eşleme ve gruplama becerilerine yer verildiği belirlenmiştir. Resimli öykü kitaplarının resim kısımlarında geçen temel matematik becerilerinin dağılımlarına bakıldığında ise en fazla sayma, karşılaştırma ve sıralama becerilerine rastlanırken en az birebir eşleme ve gruplama becerilerine yer verildiği belirlenmiştir. İncelenen dokuz kitapta çocukların gelişimsel özelliklerine uygun olmayan şiddet içerikli metin ve resimlere rastlanmıştır. Bu sonuç, çocukların yüksek yararı düşünüldüğünde onların gelişimini olumsuz etkileyecek herhangi bir durumla karşılaşmamaları konusunda oldukça hassas davranılması ve bu bağlamada sorumluluğu olan bütün paydaşların bilinçli olması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır Anahtar Kelimeler: Okul öncesi dönem, resimli öykü kitapları, matematik becerileri Abstract: This study was conducted in order to determine how the pictures and text parts of the picture story books written by the local and foreign writers for the 3-6 age group children were included in the basic mathematical skills. The study group consisted of 147 books which were published between 2005 and 2017, and for the children aged 3-6, in the text and /or picture section of books, the basic mathematical skills were included. In terms of mathematical skills, it was found that 18.88 % of the text parts of the story books and 34.22 % of the picture parts included these skills. When it was looked at the distributions of basic mathematical skills in the text parts of the picture story books, it was determined that the most counting, comparison and sorting skills were found, and at least one-to-one correspondence and grouping skills were included. When it is looked at the distributions of the basic mathematical skills in the picture parts of picture story books, the most counting, comparison and sorting skills are found, and at least one-to-one correspondence and grouping skills are found. In general, it has been determined that the number concepts and at least one-to-one correspondence skills are included in the text and picture section of the books. When the books were examined in terms of their suitability for the development of children, it was found that nine books had basic skills. In the nine books that were examined it was come across violent text and images which were not suitable for the developmental characteristics of children. This result suggests that when the best interests of the children are considered, they should be treated very sensitively in order not to encounter any situation that will adversely affect their development and that all stakeholders should be conscious in this context.

This descriptive study included 153 participants working as educators at preschool institutions affiliated to the Turkish Ministry of National Education or operated independently (private), or at kindergartens affiliated to the Turkish Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Services (MFLSS). The educators' knowledge levels were examined using the "Pedagogical Content Knowledge in Early Childhood Mathematics Education" scale, which was developed by Smith (1998) and adapted to the Turkish context by Aksu and Kul (2017). The scale consists of 15 items with 6 dimensions focused on numbers, patterns, sorting, shapes, spatial perception, and comparison. SPSS version 23 statistical software was used to analyze the data. The results of the study suggested that the pedagogical levels of the educators were low. Educators working at kindergartens operated by the MFLSS had significantly lower levels of pedagogical knowledge than educators working at other institutions, and the education level of those working at state preschools were higher than those working at other kindergartens.
