The majority of materials in the archives constitute the topics that occupy the agenda of this institution on the financial and intellectual property. Human resources, administrative and inspection subjects follow these headings respectively. In the area of human resources, it summarizes the services of the heads of departments such as the appointment of grandfathers and dads to handle the tekke and its members, the evaluation of related complaints, the follow-up of personal rights. Administrative area provides information on savings, such as structuring the institution in Albania, meeting physical and logistical needs in the area. It is also possible to find materials that can be found in religious, cultural and social inferences. Special occasions, congratulations and in-service training activities that Bektashi tradition cares about constitute the archival materials of the Bektashi Community Presidency. Bektashi archives contain correspondence with a number of external and foreign institutions that we can evaluate in the context of external relations. The writings of both Bektashian traditions and the Bektashi organizations in those regions have been recorded. Relations with actors in world politics have also been developed, which also relate to the political atmosphere in Albania. It seems to be taken care to be in line with the current political authority in Albania. It is necessary to say that poetry written on Bektashism and literary type products are included in the archive content. A summary of biography of Prophet, a note on History of Bektashism, a case of Karbala were also prepared for educational purposes and took its place in the archive. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20751 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20751 İlyas AKMAN The first work in Zaza literature was published in 1899, and after the year of 2000, the number of new works in Zaza language has increased. Tens of works have been published in varied genres of Zaza literature after the year of 2000. Especially, novels were one of the most developed genres in Zaza literature. Medet Can has been one of those Zaza novel writers. His novel ‘the Journey of Soul (Berkerdena Zerri)’ was published in 2012. His novel’s central subject matters focus on the slum dwellers of Istanbul, who left their villages and cities because of various causes, and the effects of Turkish military coup of 1980. These slum dwellers’ segregation, alienation, economic deficiencies, language barriers, loss of sense of belonging, and nostalgia to their ‘lost heaven’ motherland have been described with the chaotic and anarchic atmosphere which ended up with the coup of 1980. Post-coup regime’s oppressive and repressive political system also has been presented to the attention of the readers. There is a love story in the background of these subjects. Moreover, the work takes its name from this love story and the work ends with a poem written by Şiyar who loves to the character of Zeynep. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20716 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20716 Elif AKTAŞ Cyprus is an island having geographically and strategically importance. Its location both gives these features and leads to have an active history. There were always fights to dominate the island which was home to various states from time immemorial. Cyprus was taken from Venice during Selim II’s reign. It came under the domination of Turks as of this date. After centuries, England which had a conflict of interest with Russia rented Cyprus from Ottoman Empire and took annexation decision during the World War I. After the war, England gained full domination of the island. Thus, rough times began for the island and Turks in island. The Zurich and London Agreements were signed between three states, Turkey, Greece and England, in 1959 and bi-communal Republic of Cyprus was established at 16 August 1960. However, these progression did not change the attitudes of Greece and Rum people against Turks, Turk population in the island were tried to be exterminated and it was made every effort to do Enosis, that is to realize the annexation of the island by Greece. It was claimed that there were much more Rum people in the island, it was carried out massacres against Turks and this situation caused to tense the relations between Turkey-Greece frequently. Turkey went to diplomatic channels at times and sought to make decision of intervention on the island at times during these tensions. Yet the issue were calmed down partly by the engagement of USA but could not be resolved fully in general at these times. Nevertheless, the issues was never be settled down in Cyprus, Greece made effort to realize Enosis consistently, moreover, deactivated Rum leader Makarios who was seen as a handicap with a coup in this context. All these progressions made Turkey carry out the 1974 Cyprus Peace Operation which would create deep reactions in domestic and foreign policies. Even so Turkey gained a victory in Peace Operation, Cyprus issue has never came to the conclusion completely because of the features of it and the attitude of Greece, there has been always problems even in more recent times. This study tries to clarify the subject by addressing the Cyprus issue in general terms within the period from domination of Turks to Peace Operation. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20806 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20806 Fikret ALINCAK, Uğur ABAKAY , Kürşat Yusuf AYTAÇ This study is a descriptive study designed to examine activities that physical education teachers have done non-school activities. Using the state method of qualitative research methods in the study, 70 physical education teachers working in secondary schools within the provincial borders of Gaziantep were identified as the study group. In order to collect data in the survey, open-ended questions about the outof-school activities of physical education teachers, created by the researcher, were asked. The answers that the research group gave to the questions were solved by the content analysis method. As a result of the research, it was determined that the physical education teachers participated in various courses and certificate programs in order to increase their personal and professional development, they regularly participate in the organizations outside the school and contribute to the development of physical education and sports in their regions. In addition, physical education teachers have been informed that the community is involved in activities to raise awareness about healthy living, and that students open various sports courses to contribute to the development of the sport. From here,; it can be said that; managers and families should support sports, physical education teachers should be given importance, sports high schools should be increased, municipalities and other organizations should support for the development of sports. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20694 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20694 Metin AŞCI, Rıfat OYMAK , Zübeyde ÇABAŞ In a society, depreciative comprehension requires the use of correct concepts of depression and comprehension. The right concepts are the geological concepts that give the truth in a holistic way. They are closely related to the language used. To speak Turkish, to give earthquake information with other language concepts, and even to present some information in wrong and misleading contexts, prevents the understanding of the phenomenon. In short, it is the most appropriate method to explain the earthquake, the earthquake, the inhabitants of the earthquake, the earthquake, the earthquake, and the scientific concepts produced by the language scientists and linguists. Just as there are many areas of the world and human being, knowledge and consciousness development in the field of earthquakes (earthquake) has followed the mythology, religion and science process. It is often interpreted as a negative phenomenon because of its processes and consequences. Due to the fields it has affected, economic, political, religious, terrestrial, geologic and seismological explanations and interpretations have been made. However, geological (geological, geophysical) finds indicate that; earthquake is in fact a positive place for Earth and the living world. Motion can be a reproduction of terrestrial life, living spaces. In other words, if there are no earthquakes, earth can turn into a dead planet. Earthquake makes the earth livable. On the other hand, earthquakes are the usual, natural, unavoidable and permanent movements of the earth. This continuous and natural motion is totally comprehended, recognized, if understood, adverse consequences can be avoided and beneficial from its positive results. In a society, depreciative comprehension requires the use of correct concepts of depression and comprehension. To speak Turkish, to give earthquake information with other language concepts, and even to present some information in wrong and misleading contexts, prevents the understanding of the phenomenon. For reasons mentioned above, scientific truth of earthquake occurrence, earth science and earth science philosophy and concept of Turkish names and meanings were tried to be presented and suggestions were given in housing, building and settlement issues in order to avoid damage 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20771 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20771 Bahar AYAZ This study examines the identity problem for the workers that turned back to Turkey. Starting from 1960s, lots of workers migrated to European countries as a solution to the problem of unemployment in Turkey. The migrants brought their families with them and got accustomed to living abroad. However statistics prove that a group of migrants returned back to Turkey. Migrants had many problems after return. Turks in Turkey excluded them from the society, mainly because their dialect was different. Eventually, an identity problem emerged for the returned migrants and they experienced a confusion and ambiguity concerning their origin. Although, these migrants shared the same ethnic origin with people living in Turkey, they experienced difficulties in adapting to their national culture. It has been seen that the Turkish migrant identity, which refer to the identity of returned Turks who migrated to European Countries, is not exactly Turkish identity or European identity, but it carries features from both. This migrant identity is an ambivalent identity, constituted of some of factors; Turkish migrants feeling like belonging to nowhere, them having a desire to live in Europe, and them to keep having religious values and feelings different than both Turks in Turkey and people in host countries. Some of the migrants adapted themselves to other cultures, and their interest to their traditional cultures decreased. Consequently, the concept of nation carries a different meaning for the returned migrants. This study examines, why and how the returned migrants became the other in their own countries. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20843 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20843 Kürşat Yusuf AYTAÇ The aim of this study is determine the effect of Transformational leadership perceptions of kickboxing athletes on their level of organizational commitment. For this research, the data was gathered from kick box athletes who had participated in 2016 Turkey Kickboxing Championship with 48 women and 109 men. To determine the level of organizational commitment of athletes and their perceptions of transformational leadership, the organizational commitment Questionnaire which was developed by Celep (2000) and The multiple factor leadership scale (MLQ) which was developed by Bass and Avolio (1990) are used. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.90, the idealized effect sub-dimension Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.79, the induction sub-dimension Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.77, the intellectual stimulation sub-dimension Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.86 and Cronbach's Alpha reliability value α = 0.83 for the individual support sub-dimension. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability value of a total of 28 items on the Commitment scale is α = 91. Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.85; Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.81 for the training or competitive dedication subscale; the Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.78 and the Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient α = 0.76 were found for the athlete making year commitment sub-dimension. The effect of transformational leadership perceptions of kickboxing athletes on their level of organizational commitment are determined by correlation analysis. The result of analysis shows that there is a positive significant relationship between Transformational leadership and organizational commitment among kickboxing athletes. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20679 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20679 Zeynep BALKANAL Wedding ceremonies bearing cultural elements inside have a significant place in getting to know a community. Wedding ceremonies are perceived as a holiday feast in the village environment. In the formation of national structure, wedding ceremonies show functional activity in order to gain many values and attitudes. The history and economic structures of the societies define the forms of settlement, forms of production and traditions partly in the form of marriage of cultures. In the current study focusing on the wedding customs in the traditional culture in the town of Kıbrıscık, the city of Bolu, such customs as deciding on a girl, requesting her as a bride, engagement, henna night before and during the wedding ceremonies and the customs after the wedding were investigated. In this study, source people were interviewed through question and questionnaire and source books were used. With the first Turkmen settlement in Anatolia, the Turkmen settlement began to be established in the province of the peninsula, and the social life, traditions and customs of the city, as well as cultural life, were shaped around Turkmen culture. Wedding customs peculiar to the region have been used even though they are in low frequency but most of them are forgotten. The knowledge obtained from the people in the region showed that the wedding customs applied before gradually turned into current modern wedding styles with an effect of urbanization in daily life. The purpose of the current study was to convey the wedding practices in the traditional culture of the town of Kıbrıscık, the city of Bolu to the coming generations and in this way make a contribution to Turkish culture. It is necessary to observe how wedding customs have changed from the past to the current time and document the wedding applications having a very important place in the culture of a community. In this sense, nearly forgotten wedding traditions both in the past and the current time in the region of Kıbrıscık which is thought to be a sample were chosen as the topic of the current study. Within the framework of the knowledge gathered from the people living in the region, wedding customs were given in detail in its known order. At the end of the study, local people changed their traditions by keeping up with the technology. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20532 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20532 Meryem BULUT Although birth- which is a rite of passage- is a biological phenomenon, it has certain ritual practices. The mother and the baby, who are believed to be unprotected, are put to protection through various religious/magical procedures. It was found that postnatal practices to protect the mother and the baby were still continuing in the villages of Dikili. This study considers changing postnatal practices. While it was found on considering those practices that traditional practices associated with Central Asia were continuing as coherent with Muslim traditions, it was also found that some of the traditions were changing. While traditional practices continuing from the past until the present, they underwent changes. Ease in communication and transport due to modernisation was observed to have caused changes in traditional practices Traditional methods of therapy began to change or to disappear with modernisation and especially with the replacement of some methods of therapy by modern medicine. Practices such as “salting” especially as a method of therapy for babies were on the other hand found to continue. This study analyses the postnatal practices differing from the past. For this purpose, data on post-natal practices were recorded in image and in sound by using the method of oral history. Then the recordings were decoded and were analysed in interpretivist paradigm. The study was conducted in some villages of Dikili in the period between July 14 and September 16, 2016. The study includes findings obtained from villages where people describing themselves as Yoruks and Balkan immigrants live. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20735 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20735 Süreyya ÇAKIR The narrative, which is one of the basic elements of cultural life, forms one of the ways of understanding people and societies. As a narrative fairy tale form born from the need of people to tell stories, has been maintained for centuries by making adjustments in the forms of different media via adaptations. Today, the tale continues in novels, films and television series. Tales that constitute one of the building stones of our narrative culture have sometimes been sources of theme and sometimes the sources of formal elements of our narratives; for this reason tales have become the means of the intertextuality. One leg of Yeşilçam cinema forms popular literature adaptations. The tale structure has been carried to the cinema via popular literaray adaptations; the structure based on the repetition of similar molds reiterated itself in Yeşilçam Sinema until the 1980s. There is a continuity between tales, which is a part of oral tradition, and Yeşilçam tradition, in terms of tale patterns, narrative characteristics, tale-telling practices and social functions. Traditional verbal culture, with language characteristics, subjects, typologies and dominant values , has continued to live in Yeşilçam cinema with his anonymous properties. The Russian folklorist Vladimir Propp suggests that there are invariable motifs and patterns in tales. In this study, it is aimed to determine what kind of structural link there is between narrative structure of tales and of popular domestic films. For this purpose, in order to determine which motifs and functions were repeated in the tradition of tales continuing in Yeşilçam films, Ayşecik novel and Ayşecik film, adapted from this novel, have been analysed in terms of the structural functions that Propp dealt with in The Morphology of Tales. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20719 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20719 Aysun ÇELİK Gülistân, written by Sa‘dî in the name of Sa’d II, the descendant of Sultan of Salgur Ebûbekr bin Sa‘d bin Zengî, is a world famous literary work going beyond the Persian literature. Being organized in three sets as Dîbâce, 8 Bâb and Hâtime, the work comprises tales formed within the concepts of monarchy, saints, austerity, tranquility, love and youth, senescence and social decorum. As well as narration techniques such as past, folk tales, verses of Quran, hadiths, succinct expressions, proverbs and idioms, most of which are prose works studying ‘morals’, the work was also benefitted as a rhetoric and fluency book in Islamic universities being reinforced by several poem forms as couplet, verse, rubai and stanza. Being one of the foremost examples of advisory works, Gülistân has been regarded as among the main works of Turkish Literature tradition and has been translated, commented and glossaries prepared since the 14th century. In this work, reflections of Sa‘dî’s famous work Gülistân have been analyzed specific to literature gatherings, the position of the work in our literature with which peculiarities has been assigned and the outcomes of 185 literary scannings have been classified under main headlines. Divan poets, who regard Gülistân as a course book in poetry and prose writing as well as a consultant source in rhetoric and fluency, mostly resembled it to a lover regarding the word ‘gül’ in its content and ‘formal beauty and meaningfulness’ it involves. Besides, as Gülistân is a masterpiece, divan poets considered Sa‘dî as their rival or compared their works with Sa‘dî’s Gülistân while praising it or their own works. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20621 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20621 Bayram ÇETİNKAYA, Kadriye ŞAHİN , Mürşide COŞKUN In an interdisciplinary approach (Anthropology-Geography), based on the Pir Hatip Ziyaret Place and its surrounding environment, belief, culture and tradition variables, this study focuses on the analysis of the values attached to the Pir Hatip Ziyaret Place and the link between cultural structure and rituals basing on the perceptions and practices of religious world, and the influence of geographical conditions on the construction and the functions of the place. Also, it addresses the landscape and functional features of the geographical elements constituting Pir Hatip Ziyaret Place as a cultural landscape component. In this study, along with field observation activities, in-depth interviews were conducted with 31 people who were selected by snowball sampling method for qualitative research purposes, and the outcomes were interpreted. With a geographical and anthropological point of view, the study found that the Place serves as a cultural transmission mean and a triangulation point and an area of influence where it performs these functions as well as its ritual, healing, cultural memory, recreational functions. Based on the example of the Pir Hatip Ziyaret Place, it can be said that sacred places as a a part of socioeconomic life are important in displaying a different dimension of human-environment relations as well as their being used as a mean to harmonize the beliefs with the culture. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20601 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20601 Mehtap DEMİR In the coverage of this study, in the example of Yurttan Sesler, the concept of change of the ‘ideas’ has been discussed in the framework of the tradition and modernity. Not only the ethnomusicological dimension of the subject but also its anthropologic interpretation confirm that there is an intellectual ground of the systematic changes in the music. The interpretations here emphasis that the Anatolian music inventory has been shaped by means of a re-production which is fictionalized through the Yurttan Sesler as it serves a function in the transition of the tradition and modernity. Such re-production has both internal and external changes, however, it is not false within the fiction of the Yurttan Sesler as well. The chapters of the study have been written with a systematic principle which prepares a ground for an ethnomusicological deduction. The method of the article covers the self-reflexive language of the qualitative research method, its auto-ethnographic perspective and the native ethnographic opinion. This ethnographic study has been written by means of the interpretative approach in the meaning of the earmark of the ethnomusicological findings. The anthropological dimension of the subject discusses the concepts of tradition and modernity and the change of the ideas at the basis. The musical change, on the other hand, is related with the ethnomusicological area of the mentioned subject in question. In the study of the case analysis, the bases of the intellectual attitude at the point of outlet of the phenomenon of Yurttan Sesler are being interpreted by means of the acceleration of modernity. Yurttan Sesler came out in order to present the Anatolian folk music within a new structure and system, against the efforts which are made in order to create a nationalist polyphonic music. Until today, it is a folk music ensemble that created its own discipline and lobby in the context of performance and musical system along with four generations. As a conclusion, it is observed that every generation of the Yurttan Sesler which interpreted the Anatolian folk music in its new authenticity performed the folk music performance based on the different ideas in the frame of the change and modernity 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20570 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20570 Abdurrahman DEVECİ Coach horn motif is the oldest motifs seen in world civilizations. It also has a deep history among Turkmens. The coach symbol among Turkmenistan and Türkmensahra Turkmens is one of the most popular and important symbols. Whether in Turkmen literature or in art, coach horn icon has an important and special place. Perhaps the coach horn is a symbol that shows itself most in Turkmen's life, In different parts of Turkmen's life. The motif of coach horn, possible to see in grave stones, house columns, wall decorations, kilims-felting etc. Coach horn motif is generally seen more in the old houses in the Jergelan area of Türkmensahra. Since the Jergelan region is far from the cities, it has not provided much for the changes and maintained the Turkmen traditions deservedly. The most famous and important of the historical cemeteries in Turkmensahra is the cemetery next to the Haled Nebi tomb. In the cemetery there are also grave stones in the form of coach horns. In Turkmensahra, other cemeteries besides Haled Nebi Cemetery, it is possible to see stones with coach shaped shape. Some of the Mosque walls in Cergelan were decorated with geometric, vegetal and coach horn motifs so that if there were not a few Arabic names of God and Qur'anic verses, it would have reminded a shaman house. Turkmen women's actions; motifs are the most elegant and careful place. One of the important motifs among those processes is the coach horn motif. In Turkmen weaving, used most of the coach horn motifs in carpets, felt, kilims and palace. The coach motif is made with many different drawings. In this article, Türkmensahra Turkmens are given examples by explaining the motif of koçboynuzu, in the houses, on the walls, in the cemeteries and on the clothes. A further comparison is made between the coach horn motifs in Turkmensahra and the koçboynuzu motifs in Anatolian art. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20379 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20379 Süleyman ELMACI Considering people's resources will be exhausted, planning of consumption for future generations, the rational management of the relation of human and nature can only be explained with sustainability. Compatibility of environmental policies implemented and drawn up for future with development strategies are regarded as sustainable development. Goals of valuing its rural potential by actively participating in the social and economic life, making use of it by protecting it and of increasing life quality of the people living there refer to the sustainable rural development. As the natural environment features of the Erbaa District, the transition climate through which the Black Sea effect is clearly seen due to Yeşilırmak valley, and the advantages of moderate climate conditions related to low altitude on the economic activities to be carried out support animal husbandry. These climate features lead to long vegetation period that contributes to the animal husbandry by allowing several harvests per year. Existence of low pitched lands and tablelands with loam and grazing land provides a suitable environment for animal husbandry. The fact that the district of Erbaa applies gene resource on Karayaka sheeps, years of accumulation of knowledge and experience, animal potential from past to present, economic activities performed on fertile soils, studies conducted regarding animal husbandry, supportive investments, and policies applied and rural population in Erbaa support animal husbandry considerably as human environment features. The place where people who will make use of this high potential confront with is livestock market. The stated high potential and extent of the impact area increase the contribution to the sustainable rural development. Due to its stated importance, the relationship between Erbaa's livestock potential and its livestock market having more advantages than its surroundings with its qualities has been addressed. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20690 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20690 Tuğba ELMACI Film noir movies reflect the economic, cultural and political inconsistencies and difficulties of the social structure in which they are situated and social explosions on the movie screen. Film noir movies reflect the economic, cultural and political inconsistencies and difficulties of the social structure in which they are situated and social explosions on the movie screen. In Turkey, cinema is heavily influenced by social reality, social and political events and thus daily life. Economic crises and breakdowns in social harmony find a place in movies. Examination of films in which such difficulties are reflected shows that there are film noir narratives focusing on stories about crime and characters who reckon with themselves because of the evilness they cannot avoid under the dominance of high cinematography. In film noir, the style determines the theme. Film noir has a remarkable place in the history of film-making as a subgenre that has managed to offer cinematographic insight to a sociological problem. The close contact that the filmography of Nuri Bilge Ceylan has recently established with the film noir narratives in New Turkish Cinema has caused this genre to be discussed again. In this regard, Nuri Bilge Ceylan has brought meaning to the country, his main spatial focus, using a familiar style and used at the same time the visual style of film noir, which aesthetizes the film, when telling the story of a night of crime in Anatolia. The relationship between the films of Nuri Bilge Ceylan and the style and then the theme that is associated with them in general is shaped by the aesthetics of film noir in Bir Zamanlar Anadolu’da (Once Upon A Time In Anatolia). This study will discuss the place of the intensive and thematic style in Bir Zamanlar Anadolu’da in Turkish cinema from the film noir perspective using genre and sociological criticism. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20613 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20613 Sibel ERSEL KAYMAKAMOĞLU Rapidly changing educational demands of today’s society require skillful, well-equipped teachers to serve in educational contexts. To keep up with the developments in education and best meet needs of the learners in learning contexts the emphasis on teachers professional development is inevitable. Today’s modern educational systems require teachers to continuously monitor their practice through a critical lense and improve their teaching practices. In order to teach better, there is a need for teachers to go into reflective thinking and become aware of their strenghts and weaknesses in teaching practices. Teacher training programs need to be designed and shaped in such a way that they should encourage reflective thinking in the teacher candidates and provide them learning environments where they can go into reflective practices. It is believed that with the help of such learning environments, teacher candidates can gain awareness in the need for becoming a lifelong learner. It is also believed that reflective thinking practices can enable teacher candidates experience permanent learning procedures.Within this framework, this study set out to explore the conceptions and preferences of a group of four inexperienced EFL MA students particularly about self-monitoring procedures with the help of classroom vignettes. For this purpose, semi structured interviews were employed. The findings indicated that written narrative and video recording were preferred self- monitoring procedures. The participants also indicated that they benefitted from the learning program in which constructivist model of teacher learning was adopted. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20593 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20593 Yusuf GENÇ, Seda VELİ BAKİ The conflicts between spouses are among the subjects which have been mostly discussed recently. Regarding the nature of marriage, there are factors that lead to conflicts in every togetherness. The new, modern nuclear family editing have produced several differences and new criteria. As a result of the social change that has been experienced, the traditional norms assigned to woman are questioned more and an egalitarian family structure is trying to be adopted due to the fact that both males and females have entered the working life evenly. With this social change which is available in our society, the factors leading to conflict have been transformed like extended family’s converting into nuclear family. This study aims at discussing the new conflict problems that ocur in the family together with the social change. It is expected to attract attention towards analyzing the background of the problems having been experienced with the change and how to prevent these problems. Observation and data research has been adopted as method. The earlier studies on this field have been collected, available findings have been evaluated and the factors leading to conflict between spouses have been given importance by commenting with our opinions related to the subject. It is possible to summarise family problems as Psycho-social, socio-economic, psycho-socio-technological, parent-child relationships and sexual problems. Family member’s freedom, socio-economic indepence, and individualization tendencies create intrafamilial lack of communication as unfamiliar new criteria in Turkish family structure and this situation leads to conflicts. That family members can not show the courage in order to talk to each other clearly about their thoughts, needs and expectations, they do not need to get guidance service for the solutions of their problems, they can not restrict their high demands based on opportunity and dissatisfaction, they can not use their abilities of solidarity, incorporation, and tolerance in a balanced way embitters the conflicts. Spouses’ supporting family life rather than independency of their working lives and economic incomes, contributing to making a right decision instead of bringing themselves and their education levels to forefront and telling the last word, conscious consumption according to the needs instead of extravagance and show off based on the technological developments in spendin culture, collective consciousness and dominating understanding of satisfaction together rather than individual demand and satisfaction about sexual subjects will decrease the conflicts between the spouses and increase family tranquility 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20698 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20698 Aylin KAPLAN ÖZDAL, Hasan ÖZDAL , Çağda Kıvanç ÇAĞANAĞA Effective classroom management plays an important role in the prevention of unwanted behavior. Teachers can discipline their students both in classrooms and schools to reach their aims which are to maintain the learning and teaching processes on an intentional basis. Considering the literary texts, classroom management is a systematic process that is carried out in order to bring the behaviors of the learners in the frame of certain rules, use the time effectively and efficiently, correct the problematic behaviors and creates an effective learning environment. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the MA and PhD thesis which were written about classroom management in Turkish Republic between the years 2011 and 2015 by doing content analysis. Within the scope of the documentary survey model; 48 graduate and doctoral thesis studies in the field of thesis examination site of Higher Education Institution (YÖK) in Turkey were assessed by considering the variables year, university, institute, department, research topic, method, research model, sampling group, education level and data collection tool. Findings obtained from the data collection process are expressed and interpreted by frequency values. It is seen that quantitative methods are used extensively in classroom management theses between 2011 and 2015. It is also seen that the number of thesis that qualitative and mixed methods were used is very small in total. This research was carried out within certain limitations. The year of publication is limited to 2011-2015, the country was chosen as the Republic of Turkey, the database as the Higher Education Institution. Further research studies may exclude the current limitations in the following years and the evaluations of the scientific studies on classroom management in terms of different factors are of importance in contributing to the literature of classroom management. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20589 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20589 Fatih KAYAErdal AKPINAR Turkish Nation, which has nearly 5 thousand years’ history, has spread throughout the world, established many states under various names, and has had a rich and long-established culture. Kutadgu Bilig constitutes one of the milestones of this rich and long-established culture. Based on the definition suggesting that the “nation is the appearance of the experiences of a common culture and past history”, we found it necessary to investigate the Kutadgu Bilig, which was written by Yusuf Has Hacib, who himself guided the Turkish Culture in many fields for centuries, in terms of eating morals and culture, because Turks, who spread to many geographical areas from Turkistan to Anatolia, formed a rich eating culture thanks to their long historical background and accumulated knowledge. In transferring these values to future generations, Kutadgu Bilig is a bedside book. However, although it has been translated into many languages, it still has the quality of being a hidden treasure. Reşit Rahmeti Arat, who first compiled and translated Kutadgu Bilig into Turkish, said “When the Turkish youth understands this book, Turkey will be saved”. The purpose o f this study is to make a compilation on Kutadgu Bilig, which is one of the masterpieces of the Turkish Cultural history, in terms of Turkish eating morals and culture. In this context, the couplets on Turkish eating morals and culture in Kutadgu Bilig were determined, and these couplets were evaluated in a manner that would constitute the resource for our study. The study is in the review model, and has been conducted with document review method 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20823 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20823 Emine Meliha KURTDAŞ Values are general provisions that direct the attitudes and behavior of individuals. Values have a great proposition in all decisions and preferences that the individual receives throughout his or her life. Values are an important part of the individual's personality structure. The source of values is one of the important areas of study that occupy the world of science. But it was not easy for the values to be included in the field of science. The Enlightenment rejects any invisible and untested experience. As a result, philosophy and other branches of science were distant from the values. The world of science has long thought that values are the means by which individuals are burdened by objects, so it is not possible to attribute value to information and objects. However, the role of both the individual and the society has become a matter of debate about the formation of values. As a result, the psychology and sociology of science as well as many branches of science have also caused interest in value. It is difficult to understand the values. There are also different approaches to the source of values. Therefore, it is also difficult to make a compromised definition of values. The study, which came out of these difficulties, aims to make a general assessment of the philosophical, psychological and sociological perceptions of values and the sources of values. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20807 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20807 Nazan OSKAY Weaving art, an important branch of traditional handicrafts, is one of the oldest works of human beings in the historical process. Weaving, which is a cultural value, is a socio-cultural element that develops in connection with the socio-economic conditions of the societies in which they are produced and sustains its continuity throughout generations. Weavings differ from region to region by factors such as climatic conditions, flora, easy and economical acquisition of raw materials. Weavings showing locally diversified textures in the traditional structure reflect the rich spiritual inner worlds of people, their characteristic structures, their vision of world, and their aesthetic conceptions. Weaving art, coming forward with a uniqueand sometimes with the common features of Anatolia, has rich samples. This situation also finds a place for itself in the weavings made in the Azerbaijani region. Among the textile handicrafts, Azerbaijani weaving samples, which have a privileged place with aesthetic, perception color, motif and composition harmony, are also present in various institutions and organizations as it is in the museum today. In this work titled "Kilim Weavings of the Azerbaijani Region in the Georgian National Museum", a sample of 10 rugs in the Georgian National Museum was examined. Samples were handled in catalog order and tried to be introduced in terms of kind, material, color, size, pattern and composition. The rug weavings examined are important in terms of reflecting the characteristics of the Azerbaijani region. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20756 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20756 Serkan ÖZTÜRK, Serhat YETİMOVA The notion of Authenticity is evaluated in the flow of historical process through varies of its aspects. The notion of authenticity can be translated as an ethic and values systems but in some places it can be also evaluated as a meaning of trust, selfdom or reality. Reorganizing the big data, deeply detailed researches, trying new methodologies, correlating the things like as diverse theory, discipline or methods can be also the translation of authenticity. In cinema studies the matter of authenticity was born during 1950s. After the second world war ın the some cinema flows were occurred in France, Italy and Latin America as the new waver, new realism and independent cinema. This flows were de symbols of rupture of industrialized production of cinema. Because in those years as a postwar period the cultural, sociological, pedagogical, institutional and political progress (publishing, courses, films etc.) of the cinema was the main discussion argument of the society. So it can be admitted that it started to discuss the problem of authenticity during years of 1950s of western world. In this study it is aimed to determine the master and doctorate thesis in Turkey within context of authenticable production. According to the listed codes as explained in this article the frequency analyze was realized. In the conclusion according to these codes like as writer, theme, subject, language, focusing period, interdisciplinary and method there is not enough diversity is found. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20631 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20631 Halil ÖZYİĞİT Şevket Dağ is one of the most important painters of Turkish painting. Just like Süleyman Sayyit is known for his still life paintings, Feyhaman Duran for his portraits, Nazmi Ziya for his landscapes, Şevket Dağ is famous for portraying the interior of our historical monuments. Şevket Dağ’s life is in the period that was a turning point for Turkish painting. His path crossed with Hüseyin Zekai Pasha, Şeker Ahmet Ali Pasha and Osman Hamdi who are practitioners of classical and academic style in the Ottoman Empire and the pioneering names of the impressionist style such as İbrahim Çallı, Hikmet Onat, Feyhaman Duran and Nazmi Ziya. The stagnation and the use of the line in the artist's compositions evoke the characteristics of academic art and the use of color, impressionist style. The artist, whom we encountered in the Pera / Beyoğlu Exhibitions held in 1902, has participated in almost all the mixed exhibitions opened in Istanbul and Ankara for a lifetime with a number of works. Since the Ottoman Painters Society founded in 1909, he has continued his art life under the same roof with the members of the Turkish Painters Society and the Fine Arts Association. The painter’s style, if his contemporary Vicen Arslanyan’s productions are put aside, is almost unique. With the occasional still life and scenery productions of Mr. Şevket, historical mosque, inn and bazaar lives are the main themes of his canvases. Critics' approach to the work of the artist, in almost every exhibition he presents the same subjects and the same style, constitutes the main content of this work. As many as possible periodicals have been examined and attempts have been made to reach the writings dealing with his work and the exhibitions that the artist attended. Criticisms on his works have been examined and to gain a broader perspective on art life has been aimed. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20762 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20762 Nihan POTAS Health services have been at the forefront of the most important systems since history because it is related to vital functions. The course of the management and operation of healthcare services in the historical process is great significance in the sense that the current situation regarding the subject will be directed to the future. The purpose of this research is to examine the graduate theses published in Turkey between 2014 and 2017 regarding the management and operation of health care services in terms of types, years, branches of education and universities published. The research was designed with quantitative research model and descriptive survey model was used. The research population consists of 292 graduate theses published in Turkey in the period of 2014-2017. 260 masters and 32 doctorate theses which were published in CoHE (Council of Higher Education) database on health care management by Management of Health Care Institutions Department (n = 21), Health Care Management Department (n = 181), Health Care Institutions Operational Management Department (n = 39), Health Care Institutions Management Department (n = 41), Health Care Services Management Department (n = 4), Health Care Services Operational Manegement Department (n = 4) were examined. When the distribution of the theses according to departments is examined, it can be said that the thesis is mostly published in health management department; most of the thesis is published in Hacettepe University, Okan University and Süleyman Demirel University. It may be advisable to conduct scientific studies that examine the management of health care services in all its dimensions and with discussions on changes in the health care system. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20782 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20782 Esma SAYIN The word environment has a very wide area of usage. In this sense, environment is the name given to all living and stagnant entities surrounding us. Environment is a living organism that is constantly going through changes as man both affects it and is affected by it. Therefore, the word environment is also too variant to be limited to just the natural environment. Environmental awareness is important because every entity that forms the environment is regarded as a mirror of God's names and attributes. There are three important subjects embraced by the mystic culture. These are Allah, universe and man. Mystic culture establishes integrity between Allah, universe and man. Therefore, mysticism is the philosophy of love and integration. According to the Sufis belonging to the unity of existence school and in the concept of perfect human approach, man is the highest degree addressee of Allah and a manifestation of His divine names and titles. So in this sense, mysticism deems all living and stagnant, conscious and unconscious entities that constitute environment as a mirror of Allah’s divine names and titles. As each entity constituting the environment is deemed to be the mirror and reflection of Allah’s divine names and titles, the concept of environment is highly important in mysticism. At this point, it is worth saying that there is an important connection between mystic concepts and approach and environmental awareness. With this in mind, this article is discussing the environmental awareness in mystic culture, from a mystic concepts perspective. There is an important semantic connection between environmental awareness and the mystic concepts of piety, ecstasy, destination, destitution, joining, ability and observation, asceticism and seclusion, wisdom and accounting. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20703 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20703 Ayhan ŞAHİN, Aslı Özlem TARAKÇIOĞLU “All translation implies a degree of manipulation of the source text for a certain purpose”, “Translation is political act”, “Translation cannot be thought apart from ideology” statements like these might sound assertive. But when we think of real life practices, we see that they are more realistic than the illusion that translations are done objectively or that translators do not manipulate the target text while translating. In this study, we tried to investigate the fact that a hundred percent objective translation is not possible, and we also studied the actors and factors that influence the translation activity in the translation process and play an important part in shaping the final target text based on audiovisual translation texts. As the theoretical framework, we used Skopos theory developed by Hans Vermeer and Katharina Reiss. We tried to show that for which function translation text to be used is a determining factor, and the existence of certain elements which direct translation. As a result, we have seen that there are some manipulative elements in the translation of the audiovisual texts, as in every translation, and that translators resort to some methods to manipulate the texts. The main elements directing the translation activity are the employer, the translator, the society and the state. Translators resort to four major manipulation methods to manipulate the text in the translation of the film texts as it is in literary translation. These are omission, adding, substitution and toning down or softening. Such manipulative and censorial practices are not only specific to totalitarian, repressive regimes. Liberal and democratic governments also resort to such practices. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20688 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20688 Ebru ŞENOCAK Âşık (poet-singer) Veysel, whose real name is Veysel Şatıroğlu (1894-1973), relates human beings and their problems in his poets in universal sense. Âşık Veysel wrote poets about many issues such as the nature, affection for homeland, homesickness, fraternity, national unity and solidarity, and earth is one his most favorite themes. Âşık Veysel was blind, but added meaning to life through his heart and he virtually devoted his life to the earth. He, therefore, ascribes a different meaning to the earth / mother earth in his poems. He sang folk songs about the earth at each phase of his life and regarded the earth as a shelter for human activities based on thoughts, narratives, and actions. In Âşık Veysel's poets, the earth virtually invites people to facts that they always avoid because the earth is the mythological space for rebirth, taking roots, change, and transformation. Âşık Veysel's objective was to relate the world that mankind built on the earth in the ontological sense and their philosophy of self-perception through words and melodies. The earth is always with us from birth to death and it is like a mother who nurtures, protects, and transforms all living creatures. Every person cultivating land, in a sense, dominates the nature and introduces his or her own awareness to history of mankind because he or she bears witness to the centuries-old historical and cultural heritage. Aşık Veysel's earth has a sacredness on which he dreamt of building heaven on the Earth. Âşık Veysel attempts to tell us that we should preserve values in this world where we exist based on the theme of soil; we will return to our origins, and that we should not forget unity, solidarity, and affection as the children of the mother earth. We can itemize topics centering on "mother earth" that Aşık Veysel mentions in his poets under the following sub-headings: a. Mother earth as a loyal lover and friend b. Generous mother earth as the source of life, abundance, and fertility c. Mother earth covering / concealing as the healer ç. Mother earth as the origin of mankind and process of change and transformation d. Mother earth as the place of toiling and deserved income. Focusing on the sufic and mythological aspects of the earth and appealing to mankind by using its language, Âşık Veysel ascribed different symbolic meanings to the earth. Meanings ascribed by Âşık Veysel to the earth in his poems and messages that he wanted to convey to mankind were analyzed from hermeneutic perspective. In his poems about the earth that we have found out, Âşık Veysel basically touches upon the motherhood function of the earth and its healing aspects while emphasizing that mankind will reach the threshold of a new beginning when they return to the earth and the importance of deserved income. His purpose was to invite the humanity to awakening / awareness in the universal sense and to make sure that the feelings of unity and solidarity last permanently in our souls. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20658 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20658 Gamze URAY, Deniz GÜMÜŞ The research theme is focused on the female figure which is frequently seen in architectural structures in Güzelyurt, which is located within the borders of Aksaray and attracts attention with its rich historical structure. Architectural constructions; It provides valuable information about the belief, political, economic and socio-cultural development of a society. The stone ornaments seen in architectural structures in Güzelyurt, which has been host to many civilizations throughout history, have been found worthy of examining the meanings and causes of existence in these structures. The resemblance of the female figurine, known as "Gelveri gelini" in the region and seen on the entrance gates and window tops of some houses, is similar to that of Carthaginian Goddess Tanit. At first glance this figurine, which seems to be an ordinary ornamentation, which has the idea that human beings will only be born due to the need to decorate their living space, has a story of arrival, meaning and a life in Güzelyurt. This research; It is important in terms of understanding, explaining, interpreting and informing future generations about the interactions of different cultures with one another, beliefs, traces they leave behind. 2026-07-16 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20702 https://turkishstudies.net/turkishstudies?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=20702 Hacı YILMAZ It is well known that Sufi thought in Ottoman era was closely linked to Anatolia and Balkans. Despite the varying social, political, geographical, economic and cultural conditions of the time, the Sufi line did not change: The themes in Ahmad Yassawi’s poetry were repeated by Yunus Emre and the same message was echoed in Edirne, Sofia, Skopje, Belgrade and Bosnia, thanks to the efforts of hundreds of Sufis. In the 13th century, Haji Bektash Wali’s ideas were being transferred to Oghuz social units namely oymaks, ashirats and obas, while the proponents of the same ideas arrived in Balkans. The rise of this tradition in Balkans is concurrent with its advance in Anatolia. Gulbaba was a very famous Sufi in Balkans and finally became a martyr in the Battle of Buda during the reign of Suleiman I. This paper deals with the life of Gulbaba and his place in Balkan Bektashism and includes a content analysis of his “Fayznamah-e Misal-e Gulbaba” with a focus on the traces of Bektashism in it. The work in question is remarkable for describing the tenets of Hurufi doctrine and for its plain literary style. There are only two academic works on this opus and they are limited to translation and textual study. It is believed that concerning his reputation in Balkans and the rest of the Ottoman lands during the reign of Suleiman I and the fact that he is still much more popular in Hungary than he is in Turkey, the information on Gulbaba needs to be presented in an organized manner and his impact on Balkan Bektashism needs to be uncovered. Making a content analysis of “Fayznamah-e Misal-e Gulbaba” and introducing the details of Gulbaba’s ideas to the academic community are also important tasks. The aim of this paper is to categorize, classify and perform text analysis on the topics dealt with in Gulbaba’s opus and to show Gulbaba’s influence in the Balkans. Hence, this paper is a piece of qualitative research. The data is collected through document analysis method and then examined further. The paper reveals that Gulbaba is well-known in the Balkans and especially in Hungary, he is still loved, paid respect and followed as an example by Bektashis, his tomb is visited by a considerable number of people both from Balkan countries and from outside of Balkans and that in his opus, he tackles in verse, topics such as the secrets of man’s creation, the purpose of man’s creation and the tenets of Islam. 2026-07-16
