As a result of the long-term restrictions due to the Covid 19 epidemic, face-to-face education has been switched to distance education. In distance education, some differences have been made in the course contents, teaching materials, and measurement and evaluation processes, and the process has been tried to be appropriately managed. However, it was found that most of these studies did not include students with special education needs, such as the deaf and hard of hearing. This research aims to examine teachers' opinions about teaching mathematics to deaf and hard-of-hearing students in the distance education period. The study was designed according to the case study, one of the qualitative research methods. The study group consisted of 17 teachers working in Turkey and Romania. Data were collected through semi-structured interview forms from teachers selected by the criterion sampling method and were subjected to content analysis. In the data obtained from the analysis, distance education tools are seen as a necessity of the age rather than a necessity. Nonetheless, some infrastructure deficiencies, digital materials increase motivation, and distance measurement and evaluation applications cause stress in students. In light of the findings, it is recommended to plan the Mathematics lessons according to the disability groups of the students and prepare the course materials with sign language and subtitles in a way that is suitable for the hearing impaired.

Kamu politikası çözümlemesi, hükümetin ne yaptığı, neden yaptığı, ilgili politika sonucunda ne çeşit çıktıların elde edildiğine dair soruların irdelendiği bir süreçtir. Alan yazınında kamu politikası çözümleme modellerine ilişkin çeşitli modeller yer alsa da, süreç modeli akademik çalışmalarda en yaygın kullanılan modellerden birisidir. Resmi, sivil ve uluslararası aktörlerin rol oynadığı ve karmaşık bir yapıya sahip olan kamu politikası süreci, süreç modeli çerçevesinde aşamalara bölünerek çözümlenebilir. Süreç modeline dayalı son dönem çözümlemelerde; gündeme geliş, formüle ediliş, kanunlaştırma, uygulama ve değerlendirme gibi aşamaları içeren bir döngü kullanılmaktadır. 1929 yılında yürürlüğe giren Cumhuriyet tarihinin en köklü kanunlarından biri olan 1416 sayılı "Ecnebi Memleketlere Gönderilecek Talebe Hakkında Kanun" ile binlerce öğrenci yurtdışında burslu öğrenim görmüştür. Öğrenimlerini başarıyla tamamlayan bursiyerler, çeşitli alanlarda ve disiplinlerde Türkiye'nin ilkleri arasında yer almayı başarmıştır. Buna ilaveten, Türkiye'deki üniversitelerin öğretim üyesi ihtiyacının karşılanabilmesi için araştırma görevlileri, 1981'de kanunlaşan 2547 sayılı Yükseköğretim Kanunu çerçevesinde, 1986'da yapılan değişiklikle, lisansüstü öğrenim görmeleri amacıyla yurtdışına gönderilmiştir. 2000'li yıllarla birlikte özellikle uluslararası aktörlerinde etkisiyle başlayan reform süreci Türkiye'nin yükseköğretim eğitim alanında etkisini göstermiştir. Bu bağlamda, onyıllar içersinde etkinliğini ve verimliliğini kaybeden Türkiye'nin yurtdışı lisansüstü burs politikasının yeniden ivme kazanabilmesi için 2006 yılında "5 Yılda 5 Bin Öğrenci Projesi" uygulamaya konulmuş ve yıllar içerisinde işlevsel düzenlemeler hayata geçirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'nin yurtdışı lisansüstü burs politikası süreç modeli başta olmak üzere çeşitli kamu politikası çözümleme model ve çerçeveleri kullanılarak çözümlenmektedir. Buna ek olarak, "5 Yılda 5 Bin Öğrenci Projesi" kapsamında yurtdışına gönderilen 558 eski ve mevcut bursiyere anket uygulanmıştır. Bu araştırma için oluşturulan hipotezler Bağımsız Örneklemler için t-Test ve Varyans Analizi (ANOVA) ile analiz edilmiştir. Eski ve mevcut bursiyerlerin yurtdışı lisansüstü burs politikası uygulamalarına ilişkin tutumları ölçülmüş ve karşılaştırmalı değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. ; Public policy analysis is a process in which questions such as what the government has done, why it has done it, and what kind of outputs have gathered as a result of the relevant policy are scrutinized. Although there are various models in the literature on public policy analysis, the stages (heuristics) model is one of the most commonly used models in academic studies. Public policy process in which official, unofficial and international actors play role and has a complex structure can be analysed by dividing into stages within the framework of stages model. In the analyses conducted based on stages model, a cycle is used which comprises of the stages such as agenda setting, formulation, legitimation, implementation, and evaluation. Thousands of students studied in abroad through government scholarships with the Law No. 1416 referred to as "Students to be Sent to Foreign Countries" enacted in 1929, considered one of the most rooted laws of the history of Republic. The students who successfully completed their education have managed to be pioneers in variety of fields and disciplines in Turkey. In addition to this, research assistants were sent to abroad in order to meet the needs of the teaching staff in Turkish universities within the scope of the Higher Education Law No. 2547 enacted in 1981 re-arranged in 1986 for this specific purpose. The reform process that started especially with the effect of international actors in 2000's has been influential in the field of Turkish higher education. In this regard, in order to ensure that abroad graduate scholarship policy of Turkey which has lost its efficiency along the decades, gained its former pace once again, "5 Thousand Students in 5 Years" project was introduced in 2006 and functional regulations were put in practice. In this study, abroad graduate scholarship policy of Turkey is analysed by applying public policy analysis models and frameworks and especially by the stages model. Furthermore, a survey study was conducted on totally 558 former and present students sent abroad within the context of "5 Thousand Students in 5 Years" project. The hypotheses generated for this study were analysed by Independent Sample t-Test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Attitudes of former and present scholarship students towards abroad graduate scholarship policy were measured and comparative evaluations were made.
