Summary: <\/strong>As this article is written in Turkish and I know neither the language nor anyone who does, I will limit myself in this post to reproducing the English-language abstract provided by the publisher:<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>
\nThis study was conducted to analyze the effect of \u201cHome-Based Education Program Based on Daily Life Activities\u201d on acquisition of scientific concepts of six years old children.\u00a0 The sampling of this study was composed of 44 children in experimental group, 45 children in control group and 89 children in total.\u00a0 Before and after the Home-Based Education Program (HBEP), \u201cThe Scientific Concept Checklist” was used to determine the scientific concept the parents and children who are in the experiment and control group. At the end of HBEP, significant differences between the SCCL scores of children in experimental and
\ncontrol groups were found in favor of the control group. In the light of these findings, recommendations about upcoming scientific researches were provided for educators and
\nfamilies so as to help scientific achievements of concept of pre-school children improve.<\/p>\n

Appraisal:<\/strong>\u00a0 Again, without being able to read the study, it sounds from the abstract as if the students who attended conventional schools scored better on the measure of scientific concepts than did children receiving instruction at home.\u00a0 This finding is interesting enough that I wish that i could read the article to learn more about the sample and the study itself.<\/p>\n
