Show Abstract

Abstract:

Although the process of public relations has always existed in Turkey during the rule of the former Turkish
states, the Seljuks, the Ottoman state and the first years of the republic, which was regarded as a search of
solutions to problems, efforts of transferring and accepting the views of the administrators and the efforts to
create relations and dialogue with the peoples, the process of professionalization of public relations dates back to
1960s.
Public relations processes started to take place in public institutions under the name of "press bureau" and more
modern applications have begun to be used. It was necessary to establish units for having good relations with
each other in the private sector to be able to determine the causes and remove any disagreements. On the other
hand,while "public relations" was not popular with its current name , Betül Mardin started to work for the
country after hearing the French name of the profession (relations publiques) who is known as the first female
Pioneer dedicating herself to the field of public relations and has brought professionalism and prestige to
it.With this study, the biography of Betül Mardin, who announces the name of our country in many international
platforms in the field of public relations, and her views and her works on public relations are included, it is
aimed to define the concept of public relations and enlarge public relations literature in our country.

Abstract:

This research employed emerging technologies of mobile applications for the learning of fine art in south-west
Nigerian universities. Gender was employed as a factor of consideration in the research. Quasi-experimental
design involving pre-test, post-test, non-randomized, non-equivalent control group design was used for the
