This current study presents the relation between Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and students' perceptions towards speaking classes. Two questionnaires were given to the participants in order to see their EQ level and understand their views on Brain-based speaking activities. The results of the questionnaires indicated that students who have high level of EQ are more eager to attend to speaking classes and brain-based activities because they have self-esteem and manage to cooperate with others due to their social skills. On the other hand, the ones with low level of EQ do not have healthy relations with the society or confide in themsel . . .ves, thus being isolated from the classroom atmosphere Daha fazlası Daha az

The aim of this study is the examination of primary school textbooks as to how they cover the issues of elderly people and aging education. The study is a qualitative one wherein the method of document analysis has been used. A total of twelve primary school textbooks have been examined /analyzed within the scope of this study. For evaluation, a measurement system consisting of 8 themes and their constituent subthemes has been implemented. At the end of the study it has been concluded that primary school textbooks do not cover the subject of elderly people and aging education adequately and that the books contain negative representa . . .tions of the elderly. It is thereby concluded that in order to ameliorate the attitudes of the students towards elderly people (and in order to cultivate in them an acceptance of their own aging), it is necessary to incorporate elderly people and aging education in primary schools and textbooks.
