Aim of the research is to determine the perception of internship on the students studying at undergraduate level. The factors affecting students' perception of internship and applicable precautions and recommendations towards those factors in the form of suggestions are aimed to put forward at the end of the research. Descriptive research type was used in the research. Suitable to the type of research, an evaluation of secondary data was conducted and based on the results, a questionnaire was created. Before we applied the questionnaire to the sample, it had been done pre-test to 40 people. Thus, some changes have been done in the questionnaire. These questionnaire forms were distributed to the students of Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University Faculty of Tourism who did their internships in 2013-2014 Academic Year. 155 questionnaires from 176 were filled out and turned back. In the research; frequency analysis of the demographic characteristics, reliability analysis (Cronbach Alpha), factor analysis, T-test were used. According to the findings, well-trained employees are beneficial to competition in tourism on both global and national levels. It is also stated that having well-trained and qualified personnel is especially important to Tourism sector and managements in this sector in terms of competition. Students were found satisfied at a large percentage when their average for internship satisfaction was examined. In addition, both friend advice and career days were found to be effective in finding internship place.
Education in medical faculties is generally long and tiresome compared to other faculties. The aim of this study is to compare learning with concept maps and classical methods among medical students. For this reason, the successes of the fifth year medical students who are taught "Burn Management" in Plastic Surgery course either using classical methods (Group-A) or concept maps (Group-B) are analyzed. At the end of the Plastic Surgery course, the examination scores of Group-A and Group-B was 76.7 and 88.4, respectively. The difference between groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Using concept maps in learning may facilitate understanding and may help analytical and critical thinking. As a conclusion, we believe that concept maps should be widely used in medical education, in order to promote meaningful learning.
Assessment of water quality monitoring networks requires potential methods to delineate the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of current monitoring programs. To this end, the concept of entropy has been consid- ered as a promising method in previous studies as it quantitatively measures the information produced by a network. This paper introduces a new approach for the assessment of combined spatial/temporal frequencies of monitoring networks. The results are demonstrated in the case of water quality data observed along the Gediz River Basin.
