The general aim of this descriptive study is to investigate how children from 3 to 9 plus 13- year-olds and adults use temporal elements to organize the macro temporal structure of narratives. In order to achieve this general aim, it specifically delineates how the emergence of story units differ relative to age; how the emergence of temporal elements differ relative to age and story units; and how the function of each temporal element differs relative to age and story unit in the narratives elicited from children from 3 to 9 plus 13-year-olds and adults, using Mercer Mayer̕s (1966) wordless, picture-book Frog, where are you? as stimulus. Participants are 98 children from 3 to 9-yearolds, as 14 informants in each age group; fourteen 13-year-olds and 14 adults. The orally collected data were transcribed and episode boundaries were coded according to Labov̕s (1972) story grammar. The occurrence of each temporal element within the coded episodes was counted. Frequency of each temporal element relative to age and story unit was identified. Functions of each temporal element relative to age and story units were analyzed. A great majority of the 3- and 4-year-olds produce narratives that do not count a story. 5- year-olds produce narratives that can be considered a story, however they fail to produce internal components of episodes. 7-year-olds are observed to produce episodes that contain necessary internal components. The emergence and function of temporal elements show differences relative to age and story unit.

The cognitive bases of the development of past and future episodic cognition in preschoolers
ÜNAL, GÜLTEN; Hohenberger, Annette Edeltraud (2017-10-01)
The aim of this study was to use a minimalist framework to examine the joint development of past and future episodic cognition and their underlying cognitive abilities in 3- to 5-year-old Turkish preschoolers. Participants engaged in two main tasks, a what-where-when (www) task to measure episodic memory and a future prediction task to measure episodic future thinking. Three additional tasks were used for predicting children's performance in the two main tasks: a temporal language task, an executive functio...
The Role of schemata in responsibility among people with traumatic event history
Topçu, Merve; Köroğlu, Deniz; Gençöz, Faruk (null; 2018-05-05)
Schemata can be thought of as an abstract cognitive plan that serves as a guide for solving problems and interpreting knowledge. Schemata rooted in the early childhood. Trauma can be defined as events which disrupt the daily routine, develop suddenly and unexpectedly, create horror, anxiety and panic, and disturb the process of making sense of the world. Trauma have an important role in development of early maladaptive schemata. However, after traumatic event exposure it is possible to show psychological im...
The role of peers and families in predicting the loneliness level of adolescents
Uruk, AC; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz (Informa UK Limited, 2003-03-01)
The authors investigated the relative contribution of peer relations, family structure, and demographic variables in predicting loneliness in adolescents. Ninth-grade high school students (N = 756) from 8 different schools representing various socioeconomic status in Ankara, Turkey, completed the UCLA Loneliness Scale (D. Russell, L. A. Peplau, & M. L. Ferguson, 1978), the Family Structure Assessing Instrument (A. Gulerce, 1996), and an author-constructed questionnaire involving demographic information and ...
The Contribution of Personality Traits, Motivation, Academic Risk-Taking and Metacognition to the Creative Ability in Mathematics
Erbaş, Ayhan Kürşat (Informa UK Limited, 2015-10-02)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent to which personality traits, motivation, academic risk-taking, and metacognition explain the mathematical creative ability of high school students. The participants were 217 9th-grade students that were exceptionally high achievers. The participants responded to a set of measures about personality traits, motivation, academic risk-taking, metacognition, and creative ability in mathematics. The results revealed that although openness to experience and c...
The interaction between middle school mathematics teachers’ beliefs and pedagogical content knowledge regarding rational numbers
Bulut, Aykut; Akyüz, Didem; Haser, Çiğdem; Department of Elementary Education (2021-7)
The aim of this study was to investigate middle school mathematics teachers’ PCK regarding rational numbers and their mathematics-related beliefs, and to understand the nature of the possible interaction between their PCK and beliefs. Data of the study were collected by (i) observation of six middle school mathematics teachers’ lessons about fractions and/or rational numbers content, (ii) two rounds of semi structured interviews, and (iii) vignettes. Data about their PCK were analyzed qualitatively with the...
