  This qualitative study aims to examine teachers’ opinions concerning the middle school curricula that have been in use for years, in order to determine its suitability for distance education during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants consisted of eighteen middle school teachers from different subject areas in Turkey. A maximum variation sampling method was employed for participant selection. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Due to the pandemic, the interviews were conducted using video conferencing applications. The data was analyzed through content analysis. According to the findings, the teachers report that while they are effective in achieving cognitive objectives, they have difficulties in achieving affective and psychomotor objectives. In addition, the teachers do not prefer to design their own materials, rather they mainly benefit from ready-to-use materials during emergency distance education. The teachers also reveal that direct instruction and questioning were the teaching methods and techniques they preferred in online courses and that they were unable to adapt other methods and techniques to distance education, which resulted in students experiencing teacher-centered activities. Moreover, the teachers complain about students not attending the online courses on time or even at all, their disinterest, a lack of instant feedback, limited communication with students, and insufficient course lengths. Another critical finding was that the teachers only use homework, end-of-unit quizzes, and participation to online courses as measurement and evaluation tools and agree that they are unable to administer reliable and valid evaluation tools. The limitations of the study and implications for future research are later discussed.

  In this study, it is aimed to reveal the media usage habits of secondary school children and their media literacy levels according to various variables. The study data were collected in 2017. It was determined that two of every three children used mobile internet, watched television for 1-2 hours daily and used the internet. The most popular activity among children was found to be watching television, followed by these activities: listening to music, using social networks, mobile phones, and the internet usage by one of every two children. According to demographic characteristics of children, it was found that while the media literacy level of men was significantly lower than women regarding gender, the same was valid for the children living in the South-eastern Anatolia region compared to those living in other regions regarding geographical regions. Moreover, it was determined that children’s media literacy level increased as their grades increased. According to children's media usage habits, it was revealed that while media literacy level of children not using mobile internet was significantly higher than those using mobile internet, the same was true for children watching television for 1-2 hours daily compared to those watching 7-8 hours.
