This research was conducted in 5 central districts of Kayseri province in the 2022-2023 academic year in order to examine the pre-school teachers' levels of computational thinking skills and their attitudes towards using technological tools and the relationship between these two variables. The sample of the study consists of 210 preschool teachers. The survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. "Demographic Information Form”, "Computational Thinking Skills Scale” and "Attitude Scale Towards the Use of Technological Tools in Preschool Education" were used to obtain research data. In this study, pre-school teachers' computational thinking skills and attitudes towards technology use were examined in terms of teachers' gender, educational status, seniority, technology-related education status, and it was tried to determine whether there was a significant relationship between these 2 variables. At the end of the research findings, it was revealed that there is a positive and moderate relationship between pre-service teachers' computational thinking skills and attitude towards technology use. In addition, it was concluded that the pre-school teachers' computational thinking skills and attitudes towards the use of technological tools and equipment did not make a significant difference according to the variables of gender, educational status, professional seniority, and education status related to technology.

The concept of trust has gained significance in the discourse surrounding traditional public administration, which has been questioned in various respects regarding its relationship with the public. The political, social, and economic changes that have occurred in recent times have led to numerous transformations in the unx”derstanding of public administration. It is crucial to maintain trust in relationships, and this is a topic that has been thoroughly discussed. Trust approaches are evaluated within public administration paradigms in this study. The objective of this research is to assess how government openness impacts citizens’ trust in the government. To measure the influence of open states on public trust, European social research data and data from the open government index, developed by the World Justice Project, were utilised. To investigate whether the countries’ level of open statehood alters trust in public administration, the study initially utilized the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Mann-Whitney U test to identify the variance origin. The findings confirmed the positive impact of open statehood on trust.
在围绕传统公共行政的讨论中,信任的概念变得越来越重要,因为传统公共行政在与公众的关系方面受到了多方面的质疑。近代以来发生的政治、社会和经济变革导致人们对公共行政的认识发生了许多变化。在各种关系中保持信任至关重要,这也是一个已被深入讨论过的话题。本研究对公共行政范例中的信任方法进行了评估。本研究的目的是评估政府开放性如何影响公民对政府的信任。为了衡量开放国家对公众信任的影响,我们利用了欧洲社会研究数据和世界正义项目开发的开放政府指数数据。为了研究各国的开放国家水平是否会改变对公共行政的信任,研究首先使用了 Kruskal-Wallis 检验,然后使用 Mann-Whitney U 检验来确定方差的来源。研究结果证实了开放国家对信任的积极影响。
