Impacts of divorce on the behavior and adjustment problems, parenting styles, and attachment styles of children: Literature review including Turkish studies
No full textIn recent years, the most dramatic change in family life has been observed in the rising rate of divorce. Especially in Western countries, more than one million children experience parental divorce and this has given rise to studies that seek answers to the questions of what the possible long-term and short-term effects of divorce on children may be and how they can be coped with. In this study, studies in the Western countries and the restricted number of studies in Turkey, which has a very different cultural background, on the possible adverse effects of divorce on children are reviewed with a view to introducing the existing findings to the relevant literature in Turkey. Within this framework, the impact of divorce on children's behaviour and adjustment problems, the parenting styles they perceive and the attachment styles they develop in the different periods of their lives are examined in the given order. While investigating into the possible effects of divorce on children during their childhood and in the later stages of their lives, the possible interaction of divorce with the variables of age, sex, and perceived social support is taken into consideration. As a result, in the light of the research findings of studies conducted both in the Western countries and in Turkey, it is observed that divorce may have detrimental effects on the levels of behaviour and adjustment problems of children, the parenting styles they perceive and the attachment styles they develop, and that these effects may vary depending on the children's sex. age, and the social support they perceive from their environment. On the other hand, another finding obtained from the study indicates that the possible negative impacts of divorce on children may be alleviated provided that favourable conditions are offered to them in the post-divorce period. © 2005 by The Haworth Press.

Your neun career: E-learning process manager
No full textBecause e-learning necessitates working with many disciplines, it forms a new ground for training, requiring the cooperation of people with different capabilities and qualifications. The work starts with creating the demand. To break any resistance, identify the organization's opinion leaders and set them into action to spread the word that e-learning is beneficial and necessary in a world transforming to an information society. Those opinion leaders are called e-learning challengers, and their job is to be knowledgeable about e-learning and make others believe. To help pave the road to e-learning with the least resistance, e-learning balancers ensure that information and technology are provided in harmony. Challengers and balancers work in concert with the creative design team, who handle the technical aspects. Acting as a separate research group, the e-learning market research team should be in contact with learners worldwide, any time - sending questions and discussing issues. The receivers of e-learning, the e-learning knowledge incomers, are in contact with the research group and the creative design team to help construct appropriate programs. As manager, you provide technical, personal, and marketing solutions; a human relations approach; and an open mind to innovation and creativity
