This study aims to analyse systematically the articles on teaching biology and concerning style classification which were published in international and national journals according to criteria set. For this purpose, articles of style classification which were conducted in the period between 1990 and 2022 and directed to teaching biology at pre-school, primary school, secondary school and higher education levels were reached. 48 articles published in international journals and 88 articles published in national journals were put to content analysis within the scope of the study. They were considered in terms of their theoretical framework, key words they had, methods they used, types of data sources used in their sample, the countries where they were conducted and the years when they were conducted and the conclusions they reached according to the criteria set in the sub-problems. It was found accordingly that mostly activity-based styles were examined, that “learning style(s)” were the most frequently used key words, that the research mostly used quantitative methods and that they were mostly conducted with the participation of teachers. It was also found that the articles published in international journals were mostly conducted in Turkey. The articles were observed to increase as of 2013. The results of journal articles research analysed in the final sub-problem were given in detail in four categories. This current study makes various recommendations for style classification studies concerning biology teaching.

The current study investigated the effect of a number line training via board games with specific contents, namely numerical and figural, on students’ number line estimation skill, arithmetic performance, and mathematics achievement. A total of 30 first graders (15 in experimental and 15 in control group) participated in the study. There were 2 SLD students, one in each, in the experimental and control groups. Number line training with a board game, Sahibingo® was implemented in the experimental group, while a non-numerical board game, Animalbingo, was used in the control group. Training lasted for 30 minutes a day, one day a week, and 4 weeks (2 hours in total). Results showed that students, including the SLD, in the experimental group improved their number line estimation skills in 0-10 and 0-20 number range, but not in the 0-100 range. Improvements did not reflect in arithmetic performance and mathematics achievement scores. Although there are some improvements in small range number line estimations possibly because of the familiarity there is no improvement in the larger range and in terms of mathematics achievement scores, possibly because of the shorter period of training. It can be concluded that low mathematics achievers’ number sense can be improved via board games with numerical content. Future research may investigate the effect of longer periods and may include other students with special needs.

One of the professions where social intelligence is significant for improving the quality of education and the social development of students is the teaching profession. In this context, it is important to study leisure satisfaction and the level of social intelligence of teachers in different departments using different parameters. The purpose of this study was to analyze the predictive power of leisure satisfaction on social intelligence. The research group consisted of 283 teachers working in Ankara. The results of the study indicate that both the mean scores for leisure satisfaction and social intelligence differ statistically according to the frequency of teachers’ participation in leisure activities and their preferences. According to correlation analysis, positive and significant relationships were found between leisure satisfaction and social intelligence mean scores. Leisure satisfaction was found to be a significant determinant of teachers’ social intelligence levels according to regression analysis. Consequently, leisure satisfaction and social intelligence were found to increase in teachers who participate more frequently and actively in leisure activities. It was concluded that leisure satisfaction plays a significant role in participants’ social intelligence levels.
