(Ankara Univ, Fac Educational Sciences, 2019) Sakiz, Halis; Bas, Guldest
The purpose of this study is to investigate the quality of life of children with learning disabilities and their parents. The level of quality of life among 120 children and 120 parents was measured by the Turkish versions of KINDL-R and WHOQOL-BREF, respectively. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the levels of quality of life and to determine the extent to which child quality of life predicts parent quality of life. Findings indicated that there were significant relationships between child and parent quality of life and child quality of life significantly predicted parent quality of life. Findings also implied that all related elements including families need to be taken into account while planning and applying psychosocial and psycho-educational services.

Inclusive Education for Religious Minorities: The Syriacs in Turkey
(Cogitatio Press, 2020) Sakiz, Halis; Ekinci, Abdurrahman; Bas, Guldest
Expanding the scope of inclusion beyond specific groups such as individuals with disabilities has led to the investigation of school systems' inclusiveness from the perspective of all students. With this in mind, this research investigated the experiences of students and parents belonging to the ancient Syriac community in Turkey, who inhabited Mesopotamia since the inception of Christianity. Obtaining the views of 43 parents and their 46 children through semi-structured interviews, the school system was investigated at a political, cultural, and practical level in terms of the educational inclusion of Syriac individuals. Overall, student and parent views indicated that: (a) policy-making lacked an approach to reach all students and organize support for diversity; (b) school cultures needed to build a community whereby inclusive values were established; and (c) school practices lacked the organization to target and ensure the learning of all and mobilize resources to achieve this aim. Details of findings are included and discussed. Implications address the importance of building schools that consider the increasingly diverse school populations around the world, with a particular focus on cultural and religious diversity.
