This case study was conducted in order to observe and investigate the critical reading discourse (CRD) of 27 freshman pre-service teachers of English at the department of foreign language teaching at a state university in Turkey. In addition, the study attempts to answer the question of how the critical reading discourse of the students is shaped through feedback, instruction, and time. The written and audio-visual data were collected in the Advanced Reading and Writing I and II courses, which are offered to first-year students in the Foreign Language Education (FLE) department. The results of the data analysis indicate that the critical reading discourse of the freshman pre-service teachers of English involves interpretive, evaluative, and responsive discourse. Evaluative discourse was found to be limited in students’ written work and discussions when compared to interpretive and responsive discourse. The students also usually tended to evaluate the content of the texts rather than their form. It was also found that instruction about academic writing fosters critical thinking, but it was not sufficient to encourage critical reading.

The Impact of Online ICT on the Dimensions of Social Capital Gürsoy, Serkan (Science And Technology Policies Research Center, Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), 2014) This study aims to investigate the impact of information and communication technologies on social capital. It evaluates ICT in terms of “knowledge sharing.” Similarly, social capital is taken into consideration in terms of organizational context. Within such a framework, constructs affiliated with these two concepts have been investigated. This investigation shows that communication technologies and social media technologies do have similar as well as varied...
Western blot analysis used to detect van encoded Dalanine D lactate ligase in surface water isolates Nakipoğlu, Mustafa; İçgen, Bülent (null; 2015-05-23) Vancomycin and teicoplanin resistance is a major cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. It is caused by various van genes located on either chromosome or transposons such as Tn1549 and its homologues. They encode proteins responsible of the moiety change on terminal pentapeptide bridge in peptidoglycan layer that eventually hinders the effectiveness of vancomycin up-to 1000 times. Although van genes are mostly found on enterococci, their homologues with high sim...
Electrochemical polymerization of para-substituted haloanilines Cihaner, A; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar (Informa UK Limited, 2006-01-01) Polyhaloanilines: poly(4-fluoroaniline) (P4FAN), poly(4-chloroaniline) (P4CAN), and poly(4-bromoaniline) (P4BAN), are synthesized from para-substituted haloaniline monomers; 4-fluoroaniline (4FAN), 4-chloroaniline (4CAN), and 4-bromoaniline (4BAN), respectively, via constant potential electrolysis (CPE) in acetonitrile-water mixture (1:1 v/v) with NaClO4 as supporting electrolyte. Prior to CPE, electrochemical behavior of the monomers were investigated in organic medium utilizing cyclic voltammetry (CV). Th...
