SOME CONSIDERATIONS ABOUT CLOWNS-THERAPY

Alessandra Farneti, Free University of Bozen, Italy Reinhard Tschiesner, Free University of Bozen, Italy

Abstract

This excerpt will try to define the difference between therapy and entertainment. In the last years the term “clown- therapy” has been used to indicate the benefits of the clown’s intervention in hospitals, overall with the children. Some researchers investigated to evaluate the impact of clown doctors as a not pharmacological treatment in managing the pain and distress associated with tests and therapies (Schwekbe & Gryski, 2003; Golan et al. 2009; Vagnoli et al. 2005, 2010). Even though some children report about low distress levels during entertainment and playful actions at start and end of the medical procedure, we may not label clowns as “therapist”. First: the term therapy has often been used and abused. We cannot extend the meaning of therapy to all that produces a temporary beneficial effect. The concept of therapy involve a well-structured conceptual framework; an understanding of disease and changing produced by alleged therapeutic factors. A therapist (psychologist, physician, etc…) must have an approved training, with accurately defined characteristics. In the world of volunteering, however there are many different opportunities to become a clown. From a scientific point of view, first, the clown is foremost considered as an artist who needs a long training to learn nonverbal expressiveness; secondly, the artistic preparation must be associated by an equal psychological preparation. In fact we strongly believe that goodwill and deep conviction is not enough to make an activity good and positive. These aspects become more important if people are working in an environment of suffering and death. Keywords: strongly believe that goodwill

Abstract Emotion in speech varies from person to person based on age, gender, nature of activity and varying spoken languages. In the present work, a novel method based on neural networks is proposed to recognize various emotions in human speech like sadness, boredom, neutral, anxiety, anger and happiness. The speech signal is first processed using the fast Fourier transform and adaptive filtering for noise cancellation. Secondly, the statistical features i.e. minimum, maximum, mean and variance of speech signal are extracted using Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient. The extracted features are given as input to the feed forward neural network (FFNN), generalized regression neural network (GRNN), Elman network (EN) and radial base function neural network (RBFNN) network. A database of speech signals of different speakers is maintained with respect to the gender, age and varying spoken languages in Azad Jammu & Kashmir, Pakistan. The mean square error and regression analysis on the FFNN, GRNN, EN and RBFNN is performed. The results computed in each case were compared and analyzed; it was observed that RBFNN gives better performance and recognition accuracy than the FFNN, GRNN and EN.

THE RELATION BETWEEN PEACE EDUCATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

Zahra Ahmadypoor, Political Geography, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran Mahdi Karimi, Candidate of Political Geography, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran

Abstract Peace education is central to create sustainable and positive peace. Sustainable peace paves the way for development and in particular sustainable development. Peace education is the process of acquiring the values, the knowledge and developing the attitudes, skills, and behaviors to live in harmony with oneself, with others, and with the natural environment. Sustainable development cannot be realized without peace. As such, peace is a prerequisite for sustainable development. Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Three principal aspects of sustainable development are environmental, economic and social sustainability. Environmental sustainability which involves making decisions and taking action that are in the interests of protecting the natural world, with particular emphasis on preserving the capability of the environment to support human life. It is an important topic at the present time, as people are realizing the full impact that businesses and individuals can have on the environment. This paper is intended to investigate the relationship between peace education and sustainable development and in particular environmental sustainability. The research method is based on quantitative and qualitative methods. Data gathering procedure is based on library findings and official statistics like statistics of GPI and EPI. Research findings show that there is a meaningful relation (Pearson Correlation) between peace and environmental sustainability. Also, peace education can be as conflict resolution training, democracy education, human rights education and worldviews transformation. Peace education is central to make peace with environment, with God, with others and with one’s self. Finally, investigation the situation of countries in EPI and GPI rankings show that countries which are among peaceful countries are ones which ranked highly in EPI.

FALL OF CONTEXTUALIZATION IN E-LEARNING AND SEPARATING LEARNING CONTEXT FROM OTHERS

Yavuz Akpınar, Boğaziçi University, Istanbul Turkey Abstract

With the emergence of augmented reality, 2D/ 3D simulations and instructional games with rich visual artifacts, contextualization of content become much easier than it used to be. However, students’ cognition and learning are affected by many factors, including classroom climate, learning materials, peer support and prior knowledge. It is the contexts that generally define and shape one’s cognition by relating a given domain knowledge to its practical use (Snow, 1994). A context is defined “as the whole situation, background or environment relevant to a particular event” (Tessmer & Richey, 1997; p.87). Because all cognition and reasoning is situated (Greeno, 1989), context is an influential element of every learning practice. Multiple contexts (work, street, school, lab) may provide grounds for a learning experiences which may be employed in multiple situations, impacting nature of learning. Further, a context, for students, plays a great role to remember both formal and informal experiences as well as prior learning. Hence it functions as cognitive strategies applicable to a study task. In his framework of meaningful learning, Ausubel (1968) suggested that the learning environments prepared in advance should present the learner some cues that relate to her pre-developed cognitive structure. To embed the newly learned material in the cognitive structure, context, then, becomes an anchoring point. Collins, Brown & Newman (1989) employ this approach to context in their cognitive apprenticeship model, and Gagne & Merrill (1990) stress that contextual anchoring in instruction can help during problems solving by enhancing meaning in novel tasks, and by developing cognitive strategies benefitted in problem solving and transfer of learning. Context based instruction has been labeled with different names; for instance theme based instruction (Dirkx & Prenger, 1997), embedded instruction (Simpson et al., 1997), situated cognition (Greeno, 1998); infused instruction (Perin, 2001); authentic learning (Murphy, Lunn & Jones, 2006); microworld based learning (Papert, 1980), anchored instruction (Bottge et al., 2007), inquiry based teaching (Rogers, 2007) and contextualized instruction (Wisely, 2009).

The rubric has been assessed by 7 experts who carried out a qualitative assessment with the objective of testing the validity of the indicators regarding the adequacy of each element. It was found that the four elements were valid and relevant, that the degree of correspondence between the elements and the indicators was appropriate, and that few elements needed to be revised to improve the way they were worded.

THE EFFECT OF PARTICIPATORY ERROR CORRECTION PROCESS ON STUDENTS’ WRITING ERROR

Chaiwat Tantarangsee, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Bangkok, Thailand

Abstract Due to lots of errors found in the students’ texts in writing class, and the controversial issue concerning error correction strategies, the objectives of this study are 1) to find out the effect of participatory error correction process on the students’ writing errors, and 2) to find out the students’ attitudes towards such process. This study is a Quasi Experimental Research with single group, in which data is collected 5 times preceding and following 4 experimental studies of participatory error correction process including providing coded indirect corrective feedback in the students’ texts and organizing error treatment activities. Samples include 52 2

Sunandha Rajabhat University registering the course; Reading and Writing English for Academic Purposes II. Tools for experimental study include a lesson plan, and tools for data collection include 5 writing tests of short texts and a questionnaire. Based on summative evaluation of the students’ writing ability prior to and after the experiments, it is found the effect of participatory error correction process reveals the increase of the students’ achievement in writing short texts with significantly difference of pre and posttest mean scores at 0.00, and the reduction of overall writing errors. Moreover, the overall students’ attitudes on the correction process is in high level. (Mean = 4.39, S.D. = 0.80) It can be concluded that providing coded indirect corrective feedback in students’ texts enables students to rethink of grammar rules and challenges them to correct their own grammatical errors. Furthermore, since error treatment activities require the students’ involvement in self and peer correction, and the application of ICT in learning and sharing their ideas on class web-board, the students’ attitudes on error correction process is in high level and this leads to their higher writing ability.

FORMATIVE CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT: A

MODEL FOR TEACHERS

Gregory C. Sales, Abstract Modern classroom assessment, although a frequent topic in the literature of K-12 education, teacher professional development, and pre-service teacher education for more than forty years, continues to be a difficult concept for teachers to easily apply. Of the two most common methodologies, formative and summative, formative classroom assessment presents the greatest challenges. This is especially problematic given the benefits that both teachers and students receive from its effective implementation. This article, after reviewing relevant literature on classroom assessment, proposes a simple research-based four stage model: Compare – Assess – Discuss – Act. Each step in the model is described and an example of its application is provided.

DEVELOPING SKILLS AND DISPOSITION FOR LIFELONG LEARNING: ACCULTURATIVE ISSUES SURROUNDING

SUPERVISING NON-NATIVE ENGLISH-SPEAKING DOCTORAL STUDENTS IN NZ UNIVERSITIES

Mingsheng Li, Massey University, New Zealand Abstract Developing skills and disposition for lifelong learning is a critical goal in educating doctoral students in New Zealand universities. Following the changes of international education policies in New Zealand, more and more non-native English-speaking international students come to pursue doctorate in New Zealand universities. However, these international students experience challenges in adapting to the new educational environment, meeting the academic expectations, and attaining their set goals. This study examines the acculturative issues facing these international students in the process of discipline enculturation and legitimate peripheral participation in the academic community of practice. Twenty international doctoral students from eleven countries/regions and ten supervisors from three New Zealand universities participated in the semi-structured interviews.

PRAGMATIC APPROACH ON ADVERTISING

DISCOURSE

Lecturer Olga Bălănescu, Bucharest, Communication and Social Sciences, Romania Abstract The present paper is focused on analysing representative aspects concerning the Romanian advertising discourse viewed from the pragmatics point of view. The purpose of study is to offer starting point for further investigations, taking into consideration, on the one hand, the necessity of using pragmatics when building or analysing the advertising discourse, as well as the reduced number of pragmatic interpretations upon the advertising discourse in our literature, on the other hand. I have chosen the case study from among the methods of the qualitative research, presenting my point of view concerning the advertisements under consideration. The findings and the results have been grouped in point of the outstanding features of the selected advertisements (situation of communication, deictic elements, theories of advertising). The present article comprises five parts: the first part is an introduction, the second part is the literature review on the researched topic, the third part includes the research methodology, the fourth part presents the case study, and the fifth part presents the results, the conclusions and the recommendations. The case study is made up of the most representative print advertisements belonging to the contemporary Romanian advertising space (2009-2013).

INVESTIGATING OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHERS’ LOYALTY TO THEIR SUPERVISORS AND

ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT Nurhayat ÇELEBİ, Karabuk University Mithat KORUMAZ, Yıldız Technical University Abstract Theory of organization has been renewed with the terms such as governance, collaboration, effectiveness and competition under the effects of post-modernist point of view in this century. In recent years, loyalty in organization and organizational commitment have come fore among the topics in organizational behavior research and educational administration. Most of the studies have focused on employee outcomes such as organizational effectiveness (Carmeli and Freud, 2004), performance and turnover (Ceylan and Doğanyılmaz, 2007; Hartmann Linley C., Bambacas Mary, 2000), job satisfaction (Mc Guinness,1998), motivation (Becker, Billings, Eveleth, 1996) and so on as a result of their loyalty. One of the most effective ways of getting success are organizational commitment and loyalty to supervisor (Supervisor can be defined as principal at school or CEO in a company). First organizational commitment sounds so familiar with the organizational theories. But its meaning is being discussed nowadays. The theory of organizational commitment includes two different point of views.

Kato-city 673-1494, Japan Mamoru Murata, Teacher Education , Nakashima 748, Naruto-city 772-8502, Japan Abstract It is the most difficult for elementary and junior high school teachers to teach subjects in the Earth Sciences due to their poor practical knowledge of the subjects including field geological observation designated by the Government of Japan Course Guidelines. Many instructors even in official or volunteer teacher training course gave only oral explanation to the school teachers on outcrops, and they could not explain the geological features and their processes of formation observed on the outcrops. The participant teachers could not understand the connection of outcrops and landscape with human life and industries. In order to solve their problems and to make teaching more practical, we initiated a training program on the western shore area of Lake Biwa, Shiga prefecture, central Japan. The outcrops observed were sorted to understand the geological processes, and human history with industries of the district by using the topographical and geological feature in light of the order of the geological age from the upper to the lower stream along a river to Lake Biwa. Not only explanation but also experiments on the phenomena observed on outcrops were performed. The participants of the training learned the basic concept of discussing an outcrop. They were impressed by the experiments and gave this program good evaluation report. The result of pre- and post- questionnaire showed that the teachers conquered the difficulty in teaching the subject in Earth Sciences and the field observations.

LINGUISTIC AND DISCOURSAL STRATEGIES IN MENTORING IN A RELIGIO-EDUCATIONAL CONTEXT

PHYLLIS GHIM LIAN CHEW,

Abstract

This paper focuses on religious mentoring and its attendant discoursal strategies and language use in a weekend camp for pre-teen boys. Religious mentoring and children’s classes have always been popular in Islam not least because Islam is first and foremost a religion centered on literacy. In religious mentoring, as with all other kinds of mentoring, the mentees are socialized through discoursal strategies such as forms of address, the encouragement of turn-taking, the asking of rhetorical questions, repetitions, question-and- answer, as well as codeswitching and styleswitching. My data collection was done in 2010 and is part of a three-year ethnographic, discourse-analytic research project which includes videoed classroom observations, interviews, and participant observation at home and school.

Abstract Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) is expected to satisfy the learners’ needs and characteristics. The learner model of ITS includes some learner’s characteristics that are considered as important for the learning process. Developing of learner models is an important part of designing an ITS. Despite the huge amount of theoretical of characteristics learner considered as relevant for learner models, there is no comprehensive learner model that includes important elements in learning process. In this paper, an overview of theoretical and empirical researches on important elements in learning process has been performed and a comprehensive learner model is introduced to use in ITS. The proposed model consists of three groups of factors named cognitive, motivational and affective factors. The three-dimension proposed model includes learner’s characteristics to consider in ITS in order to gain effectiveness and to achieve more adaptability to the learner.

SOCIAL NETWORKS FOR TEACHER'S COLLABORATION: AN ALTERNATIVE FOR DIGITAL COMMUNICATION AT

SCHOOLS

Fernando Rezende, VU Amsterdam, Amsterdam, 1183BT, The Netherlands Cunha Júnior, VU Amsterdam, Amsterdam, 1183BT, The Netherlands Abstract Digital communication has been focus of discussion in the last decades. Although schools are expected to follow this trend, they face big challenges for using or implementing new technologies. This study involved the use of Facebook for educational purposes, as a collaborative online space for enabling communication among teachers from different schools. The article describes how a group on Facebook of 43 secondary education teachers, from different schools in the southeast region of Brazil used Facebook as a collaborative space for communicating among each other. On Facebook, these teachers shared experiences about the use of digital technologies in their high school classes. This study is based on Cultural Historical Activity Theory (Leontiev, 1978; Vygotsky, 1997), and follows the methodology of Critical Collaborative Research (Magalhães, 1998). The objective of this study is to explore how teachers developed collaboration with each other on Facebook, and to understand the impacts of using the groups in the broader communities. We examined the posts on that group from 2012 to 2014, where teachers and the researcher could make posts or comments. Our findings suggest that teachers tend to critically collaborate in smaller groups and that the use of online groups can enable schools to endorse its use, combined with face-to-face meetings.

The fact that scientific, technological and cultural changes are taking place quite rapidly today, and that the continuity and pace of change in information is great, knowledge, skills, and attitudes acquired in educational institutions can be insufficient over time. Thus, lifelong learning is gradually becoming more significant for maintaining professional development (Senyuva ve Kaya, 2014; Tran, et al., 2014). Determine nurses’ lifelong-learning tendencies and engage learners in new knowledge and skill acquisition for practice setting application. We conducted a systematic literature review to evaluate the study results. Akdeniz University center electronic databases including MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, EBSCOHOST and Cochrane Library were searched studies published in English within the last seven years with “lifelong learning and nursing”, “continuing education and nursing" and e-learning and nursing and random and simulation" key words.

Are online courses imparting requisite skills to graduating students or are students receiving an inferior education? Faculty and institutions are realizing that they may need to do more to ascertain that courses include activities that augment basic substantive reading materials so that students receive a quality education. Particularly important is the development and maintenance of a positive social environment that includes group projects. Cooperative learning is important part of educational skills developed while pursing higher education, and many students can benefit from learning more about how to interact with others. By reviewing an online group project, this paper delineates metrics for integrating teamwork and public speaking into an online course.

FINDINGS FROM A CASE STUDY IN A MIDDLE-SIZE NORTHERN-FINNISH ENTERPRISE

Satu Uusiautti, Lapland, PO Box 122, 96101 Rovaniemi, Finland

Abstract As the work life is changing fast at the moment, new studies on psychosocial dimensions of work are needed to improve efficiency, productivity, and well-being in workplaces. This was a qualitative study employing a mixed-methods approach to study enterprise personnel’s perceptions of success at work. Leaders and supervisors (N=15) at a northern Finnish mid-size enterprise were interviewed personally about how they understand success and the related factors. The data were complemented by open-ended questionnaires filled out by employees (N=29) of the enterprise. The data collection took place in 2014. The purpose was to find the key elements of success when analyzed from a positive psychological viewpoint. The findings provide information about the means to promote productivity, well-being, and sense of meaning at work. Changes in work appeared the most crucial factor influencing success at work in the target enterprise. The attitude to and coping with change was analyzed through reported experiences. The analysis showed that learning new methods and attitudes at work requires not only persistency and willingness to learn but also optimism and hopefulness Keywords: success at work; well-being; productivity; engagement hope ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Satu Uusiautti, Lapland, PO Box 122, 96101 Rovaniemi, Finland E-mail address: [email protected]

RISK BEHAVIOUR OF STUDENTS ON THE INTERNET

Marina Đuranovid, Teacher Education, University of Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract For the last decade, new technologies have been taking a more and more important place in the life of adolescents. There is a growing number of young people who become addicted to computers and internet. The internet is a magnificent utility which offers fun, communication and a lot of educational content. However, it has its other, negative, risky side.The aim of this research is to examine risk behaviour of students (adolescents) on the internet, i.e. which risk websites students visit most in their free time, and whether there are differences among students considering the type of school they attend (gymnasium, four-year high school and three-year high school). The research was carried out in the school year 2014/2015 in 18 high schools on a sample of 2395 participants in Republic of Croatia (two counties). According to research results, students most often visit websites that reproduce movies and music and offer entire channels without having to pay any sort of fee. Websites where they can upload pictures and stories that might affect other people 's reputation are the least visited. A difference in visiting risk websites considering the type of school students attend has also been confirmed. According to research results, there are no statistically significant differences among students considering the way they spend their free time and the amount of free time they spend on the internet.

MORAL VALUES, MODES OF DISCOURSE AND GROUP DYNAMIC

Antonella Castelnuovo, University La Sapienza, Rome Italy

Abstract The primary interest of this research is to outline difference on moral issues expressed by adolescent pupils in collective discussions analysed from a sociocultural and intercultural perspective in the context of Italian educational setting. The analysis was oriented to investigate types of moral values, their hypothesized differences and potential changes mediated by language used in group discussions to achieve argumentation and higher mental functions. Vygotsky emphasised that learning stems from interaction, progressing in the ZPD when guided by more capable peers. In line with Vygotsky’s acknowledgement of the presence of sociogenetic influences on child’s development, we focused on pupils’ relationship to their group conceived as a sociocultural environment defined as the social situation of development.A number of 14 adolescent pupils (boys and girls) were divided into groups according to scholastic abilities, gender and sociocultural background, and asked to discuss a short story based on moral issues and sociocultural values. They were streamed into: two homogeneous groups (rural and immigrant boys), and two heterogeneous ones, (mixed achievement boys and mixed achievement girls). Streaming was a pedagogical principle as heterogeneity was expected to enhance development of pupils in their ZPD .

AN EXAMINATION OF LIFE SATISFACTION AND HOPE LEVELS OF TURKISH AND AMERICAN SECONDARY SCHOOL

STUDENTS Hülya ŞAHİN BALTACI, Education, Department of Psychological Counseling and Guidance, Denizli, Turkey Abstract Hope is defined as a thinking process in which an individual considers their goals along with an instinct to take action and ways of achieving these goals (Snyder 2007). Hope is a key psychological power that protects people from negative life events. It allows people to determine aims and make resolute progress on life with a belief in a bright future. Life satisfaction is defined as a positive subjective evaluation of a person’s entire life or private life (family life, school life, etc.) (Diener, Suh, Lucas and Smith 1999). Life satisfaction represents at the same time the well-being of an individual. The literature indicates that hope and life satisfaction among children and adolescents are related to cultural and social factors, and that there are few studies about this issue. This study aims to analyze whether the life satisfaction and hope levels of Turkish and American adolescents vary by gender, socio-economic levels and parental attitudes. This is the first study that examination adolescents’ life satisfaction and hope levels cross-culturally. The research sample includes 717 students between 12 and 14 years of age. Of them, 357 students are from Turkey and 360 students are from the US. Of the Turkish students, 185 are female, and 151 are male. Of the American students, 185 are female, and 169 are male. To determine hope levels, the English version of “Children’s Hope Scale” developed by Snyder et al. (1997) and its Turkish adaptation by Atik and Kemer (2009) were used. To determine life satisfaction, the English version of “Multi-Dimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale- Short Form” developed by Huebner et al. (2004) and its Turkish adaptation by Siyez and Kaya (2008) were used.

USING THE EMPOWERMENT SCALE WITH UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE IN LIFELONG LEARNING: IS THE TOOL SOUND AND

USEFUL? Raymond Meyers, University of Luxembourg, 2, route de Diekirch, 7220 Walferdange, Luxembourg Anne Pignault, University of Luxembourg, 2, route de Diekirch, 7220 Walferdange, Luxembourg Claude Houssemand, University of Luxembourg, 2, route de Diekirch, 7220 Walferdange, Luxembourg Abstract Empowerment is a widely used construct in research on social work, mental health and community interventions, but has only been exploited indirectly with the unemployed. But job finding is an important dimension of empowerment and could be used to test the accuracy of the concept and of its measures. The Making Decisions Empowerment Scale was used with 97 unemployed people who had been jobless for 6 months. Even though the psychometric qualities of the 5 subscales and the total scale were mixed, convergent and discriminant validity with several adaptive and non-adaptive dimensions could be established for the global scale and for the Esteem, Power, Control and, to a lesser degree, the Activism subscales. The results were only marginally better for the 28 items global scale compared to the 9 items Esteem scale. Empowerment could be adequately modelled by using three dimensions: change coping, depression, and chance control of unemployment. Comparing 6 months later those who had found a job with the still unemployed, the 2 groups differed significantly on 2 of the 5 subscales (Activism and Control) though not on the total empowerment scale, nor on the other psychometric scales. The results throw some doubt on the accuracy of an aggregate measure that sums up divergent dimensions. Instead, it is proposed that more specific and individualised constructs be used, at least in unemployment research. Keywords: unemployment, empowerment, job search, scale, Luxembourg

ADDING A GROUP PRESENTATION COMPONENT TO A DISTANCE EDUCATION COURSE

Terence J. Centner, Conner Hall, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602, USA Abstract With educational institutions delivering more courses online, concern about the quality of course work is receiving greater attention. Are online courses imparting requisite skills to graduating students or are students receiving an inferior education? Faculty and institutions are realizing that they may need to do more to ascertain that courses include activities that augment basic substantive reading materials so that students receive a quality education. Particularly important is the development and maintenance of a positive social environment that includes group projects. Cooperative learning is important part of educational skills developed while pursing higher education, and many students can benefit from learning more about how to interact with others. By reviewing an online group project, this paper delineates metrics for integrating teamwork and public speaking into an online course.

Mehmet ASIKCAN, Necmettin Erbakan University Ahmet SABAN, Necmettin Erbakan University

Abstract The main purpose of this study is to determine teacher candidates’ metacognitive awareness levels of reading strategies. Specifically, the following questions were the focus of the study: (1) Are there any significant differences in teacher candidates’ metacognitive awareness levels of reading strategies in terms of program type (primary and Turkish language)? (2) Are there any significant differences in teacher candidates’ metacognitive awareness levels of reading strategies in terms of book types (emotional and fantastic novels, fiction books, psychological/self-development books, historical books, religious books)? (3) Are there any significant differences in teacher candidates’ metacognitive awareness levels of reading strategies in terms of reading habit (every day, sometimes, rarely, never)? In this study, quantitate survey research was used. The sample consisted of 120 primary teacher candidates and 150 Turkish language teacher candidates at Necmettin Erbakan University in Turkey. The study data was collected through the use of “Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory” created by Mokhtari ve Reichard (2002) during the spring semester of the 2015 academic year. The Turkish adaptation of this inventory was made by Ozturk (2012). This inventory consists of 30 items and three subscales (namely problem-solving strategies, global-reading strategies and support-reading strategies). The data analysis process is still continuing.

“A DIFFERENT MODEL FOR A TEACHER TRAINING COURSE – SOME THOUGHTS ON TRUST AND SHARING”

Efrat Kass,

Abstract

I often conduct the following exercise with my students: I ask them to close their eyes and go back through a ‘time tunnel’ to when they were at school. Then I ask them to remember the most significant teacher they had. Time and again, I discover that their recollections do not lead them to the teachers that were the smartest or the best educated, or even those who knew how to teach in the most interesting way. The most significant teachers were those who trusted them, who – despite frequent discipline problems, low scores or lack of prominence – delivered the message that they believed in their students’ abilities; the message that ‘we respect you as people even though others do not show that respect and even though you may not consider yourselves worthy of that respect. We believe you will become wonderful people…’ Keywords: lack of prominence – delivered ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Efrat Kass, E-mail address: [email protected]

LIFE SATISFACTION, MEANING IN LIFE, AND INTERACTION ANXIOUSNESS AS PREDICTORS OF SELF-ESTEEM AMONG

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Hülya Şahin BALTACI, Education, Department of Psychological Counseling and Guidance, Denizli, Turkey Abstract

Self-esteem is a phenomenon that develops as a result of internal and external feedback formed by an individual’s interaction with his/her environment, starting from the moment he/she is born. According to Coopersmith (1967), family life is significant for the development of self-esteem in adolescents. Self-esteem, in its most general sense, can be defined as an individual’s positive and negative evaluation of himself/herself. The adolescent deals with a series of rapid body changes, and asks questions such as “Who am I?”. Rosenberg (1989) defines self-esteem as the appreciation that arises when the concept of selfhood, reached as a result of one’s self-evaluation, is approved by others. Individuals with low self-esteem tend to have problems in their social relationships. High self-esteem has also been reported to be one of the strongest predictors of well-being. Self-esteem is a dynamic and subjective concept that can change in accordance with age, gender and life events. Studies have emphasized the relationship between self-esteem and gender, relationships with family, body image, psychological well-being, life satisfaction, personality, social support, stress and depression Keywords: emphasized, image, psychological ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Hülya Şahin BALTACI, Education, Department of Psychological Counseling and Guidance, Denizli, Turkey E-mail address: [email protected]

IMAGINATIONS OF CREATIVE DESIGN ON THE BASIS OF

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN Secil Satir, Hitit Üniversity Abstract

Sustainability has emerged as the most current and striking concepts of the 2000’s. Every field, every

subject, and every thought generated its sustainable counter part, and sustainability has come to

symbolize the future. In fact, when sustainability researchers study design, they usually consider the

sustainability of design. On the other hand, since it is of the essence of design, as in the essence of

creativity, to conceive an original idea, to make new syntheses and to express them as an out of the

ordinary image with seeable, tangible, olfactible, audible, and tasteable indicators, it is essential that the

basic features of design should include knowledge about the future projections of design in the context of

sustainability of design. Accordingly, it becomes a requisite to bring together all the information that is

necessary to protect and sustain environments, habitats and nature that support life and evaluate it in

shaping the future of product design and teach it as accumulated knowledge.

Dark tourism can be considered a sub-type of the cultural urban tourism and a form of fashionable tourism destination. The existence of the Baroque and neo-Gothic monuments is a living proof of the cultural values of a town or city at a certain stage in its development. Dark tourism also revives another perspective, i.e.: the social and cultural one which is reflected in the works of the architects and sculptors from Banat, such as: the Elisabeth Monument, the Victory and Fidelity Monument in the Heroes’ Cemetery of Timişoara. The advantage of this form of tourism is that it can also contribute to the economic recovery of the region through the development of the service industry.

BELIEFS’ OF 8th GRADE STUDENTS ABOUT GEOMETRY

Melihan ÜNLÜ, Aksaray University Faculty of Education

Abstract Mathematical beliefs can be defined as “individuals’ concepts, ideologies and experiences about life and mathematics” (Ernest, 1989) and beliefs can assume important roles in mathematics instruction. The research indicates that geometry learning is not at the desired level (PISA, 2003; TIMSS, 1999; TIMSS, 2007; Clements& Battista, 1992; Mitchelmore, 1997; NCTM, 1989; Senk, 1985; Thirumurthy, 2003; Ubuz, 1999). The research revealed that beliefs about the nature and instruction of mathematics affect the achievement in mathematics (Carter&Norwood, 1997; Aksu, Demir& Sümer, 2002). It can be argued that as well as beliefs about mathematics, beliefs about geometry can be influential on difficulties experienced in relation to geometry. There is a need to determine the beliefs about geometry taught within mathematics courses. The aim of this study is to investigate beliefs of middle school 8

th grade students about geometry.The

present study was designed as a descriptive study and survey method was used. Information is collected from a group of people to describe some aspects or characteristics (such as abilities, opinions, attitudes, beliefs, and/or knowledge) of the population (Frankel&Wallen, 2005). Geometry belief scale which were developed by Ünlü&Ertekin was used as a data collection tool. After factor analysis it was determined that five-point Likert-type scale consists of 3 factor and 16 items. This factors were “Beliefs about Nature of Geometry”, “Beliefs about Teaching Geometry” and “Beliefs about Structure of Geometry”. The results of the reliability analysis Cronbach's alpha internal consistenty coefficient was found 0.755. The items were designed on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from Strongly Disagree (1), Disagree (2), Undecided (3), Agree (4), Strongly Agree (5).

Abstract Engineering education in Turkey had started in 1933, when the first University in Turkey was established. Institute of Machine and Electricity was formed at Istanbul University Faculty of Science. Following the initial process, different branches of engineering have been gradually included to engineering studies in Turkey. However, among those engineering disciplines, the first biosystem engineering departments were founded at Uludağ University, Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University and Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University in 2009.Biosystem engineering education is a discipline of engineering where engineering science and design are integrated with sciences of biology, environment and agriculture. Biosystem engineering in Turkey has started following a merger at the Faculty of Agriculture, between the Departments of Agricultural Structures and Irrigation and Agricultural Machines. Students of Biosystem Engineering Departments educated on developing land and water resources, land aggregation, agricultural structures, automation in agriculture, precision agriculture techniques, energy and machinery, mechanization applications in vegetative and livestock production and renewable energy resources. Biosystem Engineering has been structured under different faculties such as the Faculty of Agriculture, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences and Technology, Agricultural and Natural Sciences and Faculties of Engineering. Currently, there are 21 Universities providing education on Biosystem Engineering in Turkey. among those universities, only 9 of them offer undergraduate degree, 8 universities offer graduate degree, while 6 universities offer doctorate degree. At present, a total of 42 Professors, 32 Associate Professors, 50 Assistant Professors, 3 Instructors and 45 Research Assistants are serving at the Biosystem engineering departments in Turkey.The very first Biosystem engineering department students in Turkey were graduated in 2013. Graduates are being employed at the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock, Ministry of Forestry and Water Affairs and Special Agricultural Institutions. A new process in the engineering studies, Biosystem Engineering Department is continuously raising the level of educational quality and its role within the engineering circles of Turkey is becoming more and more noticeable.

MORAL COURAGE AMONG STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY TO TEACH IN SPECIAL EDUCATION

Shachar Nitza, Achva College of Education, Israel Baratz Leah, Achva College of Education, Israel Abstract A large body of research has discussed the issue of moral courage, but there is a lack of research about this issue in education. Moral courage is considered as the bridge between talking about values and actually implementing them (Kidder, 2005) and defending them (Miller, 2000). The aim of the present research is to extend the knowledge on this subject to the system for qualifying special education teachers. In a few researches Hillel- Lavian ( 2003, 2013) examined what motivated teachers and students to select special education. She found that most of the student teachers chose special education for personal or familial reason. Some had the desire to corrective experience for themselves' while others had an intention to change the system for the better and make it more empathic.

PRACTICING IN TURKISH MUSIC AND THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE

Sibel Karaman, Rifat Vedat YILDIRIM,

Abstract Osmanlı’nın en büyük miraslarından biri olan Osmanlı/Türk Mûsıkîsi, notanın henüz icâd olunmadığı dönemlerde “meşk” adı verilen bir eğitim sistemi ile nesilden nesile aktarılmıştır. Daha çok sözlü mûsıkîye dayanan Osmanlı/Türk Mûsıkîsi aralıkları tabiî frekanslara dayalı ve makamlar üzerine kuruludur. Kısa ve uzun pek çok ritm kombinasyonu, usûller içinde kalıplaştırılmıştır. “Meşk” usûlü ile üstaddan öğrenilen, notaya bakılarak değil, usûl vurularak ezberden icra edilen bir mûsıkîdir. İşte, bu sözlü mûsıkîye dayalı Osmanlı/Türk Mûsıkîsi eserlerinin bestelendiği şiirler Arûz veznine göre yazılmıştır. Arûz, İslâmi kültür dairesinde bağlı milletlerin ortak şiir ölçüsüdür. Arapça’da “çadırın orta direği” anlamındadır, Tanrıkorur (1998). Arûz ve usûl arasındaki yakın ilişki dikkat çekicidir. Şiirde arûz “çadırın direği” anlamına geldiği gibi mûsıkîde usûller eserin dayanağı (direği), adeta iskeletidir diyebiliriz.Meşk sistemi sadece mûsıkî eğitiminde değil, Osmanlı/Türk bilim ve özellikle tıp eğitiminde de takip edilen sistemdi. Usta-çırak ilişkisinin hâkim olduğu bu eğitimde, temel medrese eğitimini tamamlayan talebe, bazı sınavları geçtikten sonra bir hocanın yanında ya da bir darüşşifada tıp eğitimine başlardı. Örneğin Fatih Darüşşifası’nda altı tıp talebesi kadrosu bulunmaktaydı. Darüşşifalarda hasta başında eğitim verilirken aynı zamanda hoca talebesine meşk usûlü ile ilaç yapmasını öğretirdi. Hangi ilaçların hangi hastalıklarda hangi dozlarda kullanılacağı bilgileri kitaplarda yazmasına rağmen yine hoca tarafından talebeye hasta başında meşk usûlü ile verilirdi. Bununla birlikte öğrencilerin daha kolay ezberlemesi için bazı tıp kitapları tıp âlimleri tarafından arûz ile şiirleştirilerek yazılırdı. Günümüz tıp eğitimi (özellikle diş hekimliği) temeli orijinal meşk usûlüne dayanmasa da yine bir tür usta-çırak ilişkisi ile devam etmektedir.Bu çalışmada, aslında pek çok ilim dalında ve bazı mesleklerin temelinde (örneğin ebrû, hat, ciltçilik, kat’ı ve minyatür sanatlarında) kullanıldığı düşünülen bir eğitim sisteminden “meşk”ten bahsedilecek ve özellikle "mûsikî" ve "tıp" alanındaki uygulamaları anlatılacaktır.

TECHNICAL AND METHOD APPLICATIONS OF DICTATIONS WORKS IN MUSIC EDUCATION

Aynur Elhan Nayir,

Abstract Dictates that form the base of solfege education are the synthesisized product of musical memory, hearing, notation, rhytym writing and perception skill. Dictates are the most prominent factor that put forward the skill measurement of individuals. In this respect, its role in hearing education is vital. Dictate problem is solved by the co-operation between student and lecturer. So, students abide by the lecturer in dictate writing and practice. At the same time, dictates given during education are composed and played only by the piano, without the use of any other instruments. In fact, unlimiting the hearing skill of those who are taking musical education with only one instrument, but enriching their musical memories with orchestra and especially Turkish music instruments means setting light to their future arts. In this research, the method and techniques that will help students to write the dictates individually, are practically demonstrated. Also, it is aimed in the applications that they would be helpful for students to improve their musical memories Keywords: Musical education, dictate education, musical memory.

Abstract

In this article theoretical questions of an anthropocentric paradigm are considered. Considering anthropocentrism as person in the Universe center and as a basis of all events and its reflection in language, the authors investigate its functionality in relation to speech activity. Also ways of research of the modern language personality and four various directions of an anthropocentric paradigm come to light. In article anthropocentrism is used as the principle of research "the person in language", and is more concrete "than the person in phraseology". Phraseology research on the basis of the principle "in language" leads the person to development of the new direction is anthropocentric phraseology. In article the analysis of phraseological units in an anthropocentric paradigm on the basis of M. Auezov’s novel "Way of Abai" also is submitted. Characterizing the direction of an anthropocentric paradigm in the field of phraseology, the authors distribute them in groups and reveal their correlation to psychology of the person, the characteristic of an emotional state and traits of character. In particular, on examples the assessment of personal qualities of the person is given, the relation to environment, a place in society and collective are analyzed. From the point of view of an anthropocentric paradigm specifics of transfer of phraseological units in a literary translation are considered.

BİR DURUM TESPİTİ: TÜRKİYE’DEKİ DEVLET ÜNİVERSİTELERİNİN ÜST YÖNETİMLERİNDE KADININ YERİ

Hüsamettin İnaç, Dumlupınar Üniversitesi Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü Bölüm Başkanı Özet

Türkiye'deki kadın akademisyenlerin özellikle de üst ünvanlarda temsil oranı, uluslararası kıyaslamalarda uzun süredir dikkati çekecek kadar yüksek ve dünya standartlarının üzerinde bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte ortaya çıkan bu tablo, genel değerlendirmeye uymayan tekil kurumların varlığına rağmen üniversitelerin üst yönetim kademelerinde erkekler lehine değişiklik göstermektedir. Gerekli nitelikleri taşıyan kadın akademisyenlerin varlığına ve yasa düzeyinde üniversite üst yönetimlerinde yer almalarının önünde engel teşkil edebilecek herhangi bir hüküm bulunmamasına rağmen, araştırma kapsamındaki devlet üniversitelerinin üst yönetimlerindeki kadın akademisyen sayısının azlığı, karar mekanizmalarında cinsiyete dayalı ayrımcılık tartışmalarını gündeme getirmektedir. Genel olarak cinsiyete dayalı ayırımcılık, kadınların toplumsal cinsiyeti biyolojik cinsiyetle ilişkilendirilerek kadınların üstlenebileceği görevlerin, işlerin ve mesleklerin daraltılması, engellenmesi ya da yasaklanması temeli üstünde belirginleşmektedir. Kimi kez kadının hemşirelik, ebelik, terzilik, sekreterlik, öğretmenlik gibi toplumsal rolleri ile paralellik gösteren ve bu rollerini aksatmayacak nitelikteki meslek gruplarında çalışmasını onaylamakta; lakin daha ötesine geçit vermemektedir. Kimi kez ise bu meslek gruplarından farklı alanlarda çalışmasını onaylasa da o işin üst düzey yöneticilik pozisyonlarına atanmayı onaylamamakta, sınırlama ya da engelleme yoluna gitmektedir. Örneğin öğretim üyesi kimliği kadının bu gerçekle yüzleşmek zorunda kaldığı alanlardan biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Yasa düzeyinde herhangi bir engel olmamakla birlikte uygulamada ortaya çıkan bu durum, genellikle 1970’lerde ortaya atılan “cam tavan” kavramıyla dile getirilmektedir. Eğitim, yeterlilik, tecrübe gibi yükselmeyi ya da terfi almayı engelleyebilecek durumların haricinde yaşanan ayrımcılığı simgelemek ve karşılaşılan sorunların belirsizliğini vurgulamak için kullanılan kavram, örgütlü önyargılar ve kalıplar tarafından yaratılan, kadınların üst düzey yönetim kadrolarına gelmelerini engelleyen görünmez yapay engeller olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Nitekim kadın öğretim üyesi açısından önde gelen ülkeler arasında yer alan Türkiye’de, üniversite üst yönetimindeki kadın öğretim üyelerinin etkinliğinin sınırlılığı bahsedilen engelleri doğrular nitelikte görünmektedir.

Moreover the students are asked to mark the level of their English knowledge.For this purpose, the study aims at investigating the student recognition of the terms in the world of Internet according to their knowledge of English. The main question is whether English knowledge plays a role in students’ recognition of the Internet terminology. The results Show that Elt students‘ frequency because of their proficiency of language had a meaningfull difference 9 out of 20 terms. On the other hand, CEIT students because of their subject matter were the leader of the study (11 out of 20) Students of the other 2 departments were beyond them as their English knowledge level was not satisfactory as they marked. This shows that students should be acquinted also with the internet terminology via English language learning. Apart from the entertainment purposes and personal commınication they can achieve the internet penetration with the help of English and will be acquinted with the Internet terminology effectively during their future works.

THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT OF TEACHING

Ahmet Saban, Necmettin Erbakan University Abstract Emotions are at the heart of teaching. Yet there is little research about the emotional aspects of teachers’ lives worldwide. This study investigated 15 Turkish primary school teachers’ emotions. Participants were taking a graduate course in qualitative research at Necmettin Erbakan University in Konya during the fall of 2014 and working in different parts of Turkey with varying teaching experiences. Data were gathered through the “emotion diaries” in which participants were asked to report particular emotional incidents or key events that left a strong emotional impact. Specifically, participants were asked to (1) identify some intense emotions that they were recently (or in the past) deeply concerned about, (2) describe briefly the events that caused them to have such strong emotions and (3) comment on the effects of these feelings on teaching as a profession. Their diaries were analyzed by the content analysis technique. According to the results, participants shared both positive and negative emotions such as despair, happiness, sadness, shame, fear, frustration or joy. The study concludes that the nature of teaching cannot be fully understood without studying teachers’ daily emotions and feelings.

ASSESSMENT OF WORKPLACE PREPARATION AND LONG-TERM LEARNING OUTCOMES IN HIGHER EDUCATION.

Ludmila N. Praslova,Psychology Special Assistant to the Provost for Accreditation, Vanguard University of Southern California

Abstract

Employers, governments, and general public increasingly emphasize the importance of student learning and workplace preparation. Documenting student achievement at the individual and societal levels is a complex task. This work is focused on developing theoretical and practical approaches to evaluating educational effectiveness in Higher Education. This work analyzes and integrates current literature on assessment of student learning in Higher Education with the literature on evaluation of training in the workplace. Content analysis of sample empirical data from evaluation of academic programs is used to investigate frequency of use of assessment methodologies corresponding to the four levels of evaluation in Kirkpatrick’s model of training criteria (Kirkpatrick, 1959, 1976, 1996). The four levels of criteria are reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Content analysis data is coded to quantify qualitative data.in Higher Education typically focus on short-term criteria - reactions assessed with indirect methods of assessment, and learning assessed with both direct and indirect methods. Nevertheless, the society is interested in behavior and results criteria, and some large scale studies have focused on such long-term outcomes (Gallup/Purdue, 2014). Unfortunately, some large-scale assessment initiatives use data inappropriately to draw unsubstantiated causal conclusions from correlational data. Governments and employers demand innovative models of assessing long-term educational outcomes. Developing such models is important, however, it is also important to understand limits of interpretation of population-level correlational data.

TURKISH PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ GOAL ORIENTATIONS FOR TEACHING

Ahmet SABAN, Necmettin Erbakan University, A.K. Education Faculty, Konya Hülya YILDIZLI, Hacı Bektaşi Veli University, Education Faculty, Nevşehir

Abstract In this study, it is aimed to investigate what Turkish primary school teachers’ goal orientations are in the teaching environment, how these goal orientations are correlated with one another, and whether teachers’ gender, age and teaching experience make a significant difference. Participants consisted of 160 primary education teachers working at state schools in Nevşehir Province. The “Goal Orientation Scale for Teaching”, which was developed by Butler (2007) and finalized by Butler and Shibaz (2014), was used to collect the study data. The scale is composed of 20 five-point Likert-type items and consists of “Mastery”, “Ability-Approach”, “Ability-Avoidance”, “Work-Avoidance” and “Relational” sub-dimensions. The scale reliability coefficient was calculated for each sub-dimension as follows: for “Mastery” goal orientation sub-dimension α=.60; for “Ability-Approach” goal orientation sub-dimension α=.75; for “Ability-Avoidance” goal orientation sub-dimension α=.69; for “Work-Avoidance” goal orientation sub-dimension α=.76; for “Relational” goal orientation sub-dimension α=.79. To analyze the study data, Independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance and simple correlation techniques were used. According to the results obtained from the study, while teachers’ goal orientation for which they have the highest average was “Mastery”, “Work-Avoidance” goal orientation turned out be the one for which they have the least average. This situation shows that primary school teachers would rather organize activities which help them to teach better in the teaching environment, promote students’ efforts for learning and improve their professional skills. In addition to this, it was found out that there was an inverse relationship between “Mastery” goal orientation and “Work-Avoidance” goal orientation. In this case, it is seen that workload is not important to teachers when it comes to improve themselves in the teaching environment. Besides, it was also observed that gender was not a significant factor in terms of primary school teachers’ goal orientations for teaching, whereas age and teaching experience variables made a significant difference in their goal orientations for teaching.

INVESTIGATIGATING STUDIES PERFORMED WITHIN THE SCOPE OF CRITICAL READING IN TURKEY

Çam Aktaş, Anadolu University, Faculty of Education,Educational Sciences Abstarct It is expected that individuals have to access the information, use the information they reach, interpret correctly and generate new knowledge starting from the review In order to adapt to the changing and evolving world. It can be said that individuals should have active reading skills to meet these expectations. However, critical reading skill differs from simple reading skill that requires making inferences from reading text, determining the difference between the events and ideas, researching resources, distinguishing of views and facts, understanding the author's purpose and point of view and making judgements. Critical reading has gained importance in Turkey through the elementary school curriculum which was being implemented in 2005 – 2006 academic year. Especially since then the studies related to critical reading has increased. Although there are many studies with important findings on the critical reading there are no studies that showing the progress of these research made in the process with concrete data in Turkey. Moving from this requirement, it is aimed that to investigate the studies related to critical reading in Turkey to bring together under the common theme. This research is a qualitative case study research. The data were examined by document analysis. 29 studies (17 research articles and 12 dissertations) which related to critical reading and can be reached in Turkey were included in the study. Research articles which were produced from the dissertation were excluded from the study, instead of this tried to reach related dissertation. Research articles were reached via databases, and the dissertations reached via the Higher Education Council dissertation scan page and dissertations which were open access. The research data will be analyzed by content analysis. The analysis process is ongoing. Keywords: qualitative case, analyzed by content analysis.

HOW TO PLAN CREATIVE ACTIVITIES IN A CLASSROOM? TURKISH MUSIC TEACHERS` LESSON PLANS ON MUSICAL

CREATIVITY

Nurtuğ BARIŞERİ AHMETHAN, Abstract Universal education programs nowadays aim to prepare more and more creative individuals for their societies. The accentuation for `Creative Child` is written in the content of most education programs. Turkish music education program has also emphasized the importance of creativity in the general objectives (MEB, 2006). Besides musical creativity has stated as one of a learning area in the content of program. Turkish music curriculum requires teachers to teach children listening to music, singing songs, performing instruments, musical perception, music culture and also musical creativity. Creativity is core source of music teaching and learning. Teaching music in a creative way provide children`s awareness about their abilities to make music. In addition this awareness may help children to reason in other disciplines in terms of learning how to be creative. Performing creative activities in classrooms need broader and conscientious thinking and planning. These learning activities especially in musical creativity should be planned adequately with the consideration of many aspects such as emotional-social development of children, classroom settings, resourcing, classroom organizations, assessments. Furthermore, capability of music teachers in terms of stretching her creative thoughts and able to reflect them in lesson plans is significant. To some extent lesson plans theoretically open windows to the outsiders with the aim of envisage the teachers` proposed activities, arrangements and competencies. In this study it is aimed to find out how Turkish music teachers are planning their lessons in musical creativity learning area. Thus, music teachers are asked to write down their lesson plans on related attainment target for Grade 7. In this attainment target children are expected to write down their own musical motive from different and repetitive rhythmic patterns. 19 music teachers are selected and they agree to be part of this study from city Konya. Qualitative approach has been used. The conceptual map generate four categories to analyze: teaching-learning methods, use of materials, teaching-learning process and evaluation.

STUDENTS’ PERCEPTION OF MISTREATMENT FROM FACULTY AND THE STRATEGIES STUDENTS PREFER TO

OVERCOME THIS MISTREATMENT

Soner Polat, Education, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli, Turkey Gizem Günçavdı, Education, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli, Turkey Abstract The purpose of this study is to determine senior students’ perception of mistreatment from faculty and the strategies students prefer to overcome this mistreatment. The sample of this study includes 548 senior students of faculty of education at Kocaeli University, Turkey. This study is in the descriptive survey model. In order to measure students’ perception of mistreatment from faculty, “Workplace Mistreatment Scale” developed by Harlos and Axelrod (2005) and in order to measure strategies which students prefer to overcome this mistreatment, “Secondary Appraisal Scale” developed by Rogers(1998) were used as data collection tools. This scale was sent to 548 senior students. 297 scales were returned and analyzed. It has been found out that students’ perception of mistreatment from faculty showed significant difference depending on the departments of which participants were students. Also it has been found out that strategies which students preferred to overcome mistreatment showed significant difference depending on genders, and students of faculty of education used “barriers” strategies mostly to overcome mistreatment. This research has given an idea about students of faculty of education’s experiences about being exposed to mistreatment, but this study is limited to students at Kocaeli University. In the future researches, the samples can be extended by taking other faculties’ at Kocaeli University or other universities’ students as the sample.

PREDICTORS OF THE USE OF THE NEW MEDIA ENVIRONMENT FOR LEARNING

Milan Matijevid, D.Sc, Faculty of Teacher Education University of Zagreb, Republic of Croatia Siniša Opid, D.Sc, Faculty of Teacher Education University of Zagreb, Republic of Croatia Abstract In Croatian classrooms it is possible to observe teaching scenarios that follow the features of constructivist and traditional teaching theory and many variants and combinations of teaching didactics that are student centred and those that are teacher centred. Teachers find it hard to find their way in the selection and design of a media environment that could satisfy the developmental needs and ways of learning of the net generation.The objective of this paper is to investigate the significance of certain predictors of using the new media environment. In a total sample of 435 secondary school students in four counties of continental Croatia, the authors investigated predictors of using the new media environment for learning. By using the stepwise model, the authors determined statistically significant predictors within the model. The predictors such as the subject specialisation of the teacher, years of service, the traditional didactics paradigm and the constructivist paradigm account for 12.7% of the variance of the criteria variable of using the new media environment for learning. Gender, type of school and frequency of permanent development did not prove to be statistically significant predictors, i.e., they were not included in regression models (4). The question then arises about what the other predictors would be for the new media environment for learning that so far have not been investigated, considering that the predictors already determined do not account for the great variability of the criteria variable. The most significant predictors of using the new media environment for learning are years of service and the subject specialisation of the teacher.

Abstract Interprofessional education encourages learners from various health and social care professions to understand each other’s roles and prepares them to work together to foster collaboration and improve quality of care (Pollard et al. 2004). Although Saudi Arabia has witnessed the introduction of problem based learning (PBL) in medical curricula, which is thought to pave the way for successful interprofessional education (IPE) (Dahlgren 2009), the introduction of IPE has been slow in many Middle Eastern countries, and in particular in Saudi Arabia (El-Zubeir et al. 2006). Research suggests that Saudi students’ attitudes towards PBL are positive (Al-Damegh and Baig 2005; Gowda et al. 2013). It is important now to assess how receptive students are to IPE in this national context, as attitudes are likely to affect their future learning and collaborative behaviour (Forgas 2010). The study is currently underway that explores Saudi undergraduate students’ attitudes towards interprofessional education. It gives particular consideration to cultural sensitivities, notably those relating to gender differences and the type of professional discipline which may impact on the likelihood of successful implementation of these programmes. Methods: A mixed methods design is adopted in the broader study, which includes the University of West England’s Interprofessional Questionnaire (UWE IPQ; Pollard et al. 2004; Pollard et al. 2005), exploring students attitudes’ to IPE and collaborative practice (CP). However, this questionnaire does not currently exist in the Arabic language.

WHAT DO CHILDREN KNOW ABOUT MILK? A STUDY OF CONCEPT MAP CREATION

(6-14 YEARS AGE)

Perihan Ünüvar, Gül Dalğar, Vahdet Ünüvar,

Abstract

Concept maps help children build a relationship between the new information they acquire and their pre-existing knowledge. It also helps them create new concepts. It enables them to arrange knowledge in their minds concretely and visually. Children’s interactions with their environment and observations play a major role in their learning. These interactions create knowledge for them and lead them to classify this knowledge. They gradually learn about concepts by organizing the knowledge they gain by sensory organs. In their minds, they create maps of various concepts. These concept maps can be used in the developmental evaluation of children. This provides significant knowledge about how children see different sides of concepts using the concept maps they create and how they make correlations. Concept maps are usually entities created by children. Thus, they provide important clues about the development of children’s cognitive structures and the way they organize knowledge. Burdur is an important city in Turkey for its production of milk and dairy products. In the city and its vicinity, there are many milk productions centers, dairy farms and milk factories. There are also fairs that promote stockbreeding and dairy products and children visit these fairs. Therefore, milk was chosen as the main concept. This study aimed to analyze 6-14 year old children’s knowledge about milk in the framework of concept maps. With this purpose, the authors collected data from 6 year olds, third graders and seventh graders. The data were collected from different age groups to learn about the development of concept maps by age and education level. The data were collected using an interview form created by the researchers and concept maps made by the children. The analysis of the data is still in progress.

TOWARDS A SERVICE ORIENTED SOCIAL NETWORK THAT SUPPORTS ADAPTIVE LEARNING

Efthimios Alepis, Informatics, University of Piraeus Abstract As of year 2014 internet users spend as much as almost 50% of their time over the WWW in a number of the most popular social networks. Social networking applications and social platforms are rapidly growing web markets. It is not an excess to claim that social networks are forming a new era in Information Technology in general. As a result, education through computers is influenced and adapted to the needs of modern computer users. Learners would appreciate being taught by computers on a wide variety of domains and at the same time utilize the potential of a social network such as collaborative learning and adaptive education through social network user models. In view of the above, in this paper the author presents a social network educational platform prototype named SOSOAL. The resulting educational platform incorporates an online social network whose architecture and functionality is strictly service oriented. To this end, the whole educational platform is hosted on the cloud, while all means of learners’ communication with the outer world is accomplished through web services. In SOSOAL all kind of learners’ devices can communicate with SOSOAL. In addition, every client hosting the educational application who interacts with SOSOAL is offered the potentiality to use its own Graphical Interface or Web Interface for the representation of the educational data. At the same time, student models are communicated to the main cloud database in order to create a sophisticated user modelling module. The key benefits of our proposed approach are expected to include among others: flexibility in educational platforms and in hardware that is used, extendibility in the educational software, adaptation to learners’ needs and platform independence.

AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH IN NURSING: SIMULATION BASED DISTANCE EDUCATION

Zeynep Karakuş , Akdeniz University Faculty of Nursing, Antalya/Turkey

Zeynep Özer , Akdeniz University Faculty of Nursing, Antalya/Turkey

Abstract

Distance education has received wide attention in the nursing literature over the past decade (Patterson, et. al.

2012). İşman (2005) identified distance education as "It is an education system that teaching and learning

actions have been performed via communication technologies and mailing services by the teachers and

students being different environment." Distance education is one proposed solution to educating more nurses

to decrease and eventually eliminate the nursing shortage such as increased number of students, challenge of

providing opportunities for students to practice safe, lack of nurse educators and so on (Mancuso-Murphy,

2007). Distance education has emerged in colleges of nursing, making education available, accessible, and

convenient for those seeking basic to advanced degrees. On the other hand, this education system has

disadvantages such as; dislocation and separation of student and teacher, delay of feedback, loss of personal

(ie, face-to-face) interaction with instructors and peers, high costs of development of the program,

instruction is not personalized (Tavukcu, 2011). Compared with the traditional learner, the distance learners

in smaller communities commonly encounter fewer clinical opportunities (Morrison, et. al. 2008). An

innovative approach to provide students in distance education opportunity of clinical experience is

simulation (Morrison, et al. 2009). Simulation is regarded as a technique, device or activity that aims to

authentically recreate, imitate or amplify characteristics, processes and experiences of the real world for the

purposes of teaching, acquiring and assessing knowledge, skills and attitudes (Guıse, et. al. 2012). The study

"Distance Learning and Clinical Simulation in Senior Baccalaureate Nursing Education" that conducted with

distance educated students have showed simulation is a good opportunity for students to practice until they

„„get it right‟‟ without harming an actual patient (Guzic et al. 2012). should be increased worldwide.

TEACHER TRAINING SYSTEMS OF ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS

INSTRUCTION IN TURKEY

Buse CEĞER, Hacettepe University, Turkey Gülsün ATANUR BASKAN, Hacettepe University, Turkey Abstract One of the most important elements of the education system is teachers. Today rapid changes and transformations are enhancing the level of significance attributed to qualified teachers who educate individuals that can keep up with these as well as the level of importance attached to the quality of education. This indicates a teacher training system of a country should become responsive enough to such a need and more quality learning and teaching atmosphere should be created accordingly. Thus in this study teacher training systems that began to be concentrated upon with a different perspective in universities as of 1998 were analyzed in particular with a focus on the changes occurred in Elementary and Middle School Science and Mathematics Instruction. The data obtained through literature review paved the way for an analysis of the changes took place between years 1998-2015. All the constraints of the system were revealed and relevant suggestions were made to this end. The changes observed in 1998 were revised later on due to several reasons causing the problems faced today. Particularly omitting the idea of training teachers within the very place of teacher training: Faculty of Education and welcoming graduates of Faculty of Letters and Science to teaching profession owing to political concerns has meant adding up more teacher candidates to the already crowded “waiting list”. On account of this an evaluation of the teacher training system in Turkey ought to be carried out and results should be attained respectively.

ANALYSIS OF ITS PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES

Emine Onder, Zeynep Karatas,

Abstract

The aim of the study is to develop a new scale, called the “Classroom Management Anxiety Scale for Candidate Teachers”. This study was carried out on three different groups consisting of university senior class students from Mehmet Akif Ersoy University in Turkey. The psychometric properties of the Scale (CMAS-CT) were analyzed by means of item analysis, exploratory factor analysis and internal consistency and split-half methods. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) results demonstrated that the scale comprised five factors. As a result of the EFA, the factor loadings of 25 items in the five factors were found to vary between 0.39 and 0.85. These five factors explained 54% of the total variance. The Scale (CMAS-CT)’s internal consistency coefficient total scale score was determined .89 and split-half reliability coefficient was determined part 1 .85 and part 2 .79. In conclusion, Classroom Management Anxiety Scale for Candidate Teachers can be used as a reliable and valid measure for Turkish university senior class students.

VOCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND FACTORS AFFECTING THE VOCATIONAL CHOICE OF ADOLESCENTS

Aysel Esen Çoban, Abstract The aim of this study was to examine factors that influence adolescents' vocational development and career choice. Participants of this study were fourteen third grade university students. This study was designed as qualitative study and the interview form developed by the researcher was used to provide information about participants’ vocational development and the factors related with career choice. The information obtained from participants’ interviews was grouped by content analysis and the information which was related with vocational development tasks and factors affecting the vocational choice of adolescents was obtained. Vocational development is a lifelong process which includes physical, mental and emotional development. Vocational development has the phases and for each phase there were identified developmental tasks. The individual completed the vocational development tasks successfully have vocational maturity so that he/she would be ready to make correct and rational vocational choice. Adolescents in high school period identify the areas they choose and decide on career as a profession. The career choice for adolescents, not only about how s/he wants to work in a job at the same time is an important decision that affects how well s/he wants to be in a living standard. In this study the adolescents participants expressed that the family, family members, and the friends affect their decisions instead of their ability, interest, personality and their expectations. In addition, the choice of career is more job opportunities, job popularity and their exam points were seen as the factors to choose the career. These findings indicate that the school counselors do not provide a vocational guidance and counseling in the school effectively. Most of the participants expressed that they do not get any services about their career choice form their school counselors. The most important function of the vocational guidance services in schools is to provide vocational development of students and help students to choose a realistic and rational career.

THE VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE ABBREVIATED STUDENT COMMUNICATION

SATISFACTION SCALE Ahmet AKIN, Umran AKIN, Mustafa SAVCI, Mustafa ERCENGİZ, Kafiye EKŞİ, Alican KABUK, Yasemin ÖZEN, Abstract

In student-teacher relationship perhaps the most important factor is the quality of the relationship between the instructor and the student. Therefore communication satisfaction is crucial on this relationship that was described as an affective response to the accomplishment of communication goals and expectations (Hecht, 1978). The aim of this research is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Abbreviated Student Communication Satisfaction Scale (ASCS; Goodboy, Martin, & Bolkan, 2009). Participants were 312 undergreduate students from Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen ve Fırat Universities. The Student Communication Satisfaction Scale was translated into Turkish and the Turkish form was back-translated into English. In this study confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach alpha coefficients and the item-total correlations were examined. Results of confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that this scale yielded one factor, as original form and that the uni-dimensional model was well fit (x²= 28.11, df= 13, RMSEA= .061, IFI= .98, CFI= .98, RFI= .92, NFI= .96, NNFI= .95, GFI= .98, AGFI= .94, and SRMR= .039). The corrected item-total correlations ranged .26 to .63. Cronbach alpha internal consistency reliability coefficient of the scale was .75. Overall findings demonstrated that this scale had high validity and reliability scores and that it may be used as a valid and reliable instrument in order to measure the communication satisfaction level of studentss. Nevertheless, further studies that will use Abbreviated Student Communication Satisfaction Scale are important for its measurement force.

Keywords: validity, reliability, Communication Satisfaction

TEACHING AND LEARNING IN SERVICE DESIGN

Qian Sun

Abstract

Service Design is an emerging multidisciplinary subject that requires the curriculum to embrace the

development of a critical and theoretical understanding, as well as practical methods and tools. Little is

known as to how the studio-based tradition in most Design schools could be adapted to this new challenge.

There is also little research on how the students respond to different learning settings associated with

different knowledge origins and how this affects the learning style that design students are used to. This

research aims to address these issues by conducting an in-depth case study based on the author‟s own

practice.

AN EXAMINATION OF RISKY PLAY AT PRESCHOOL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS AND CHILDREN’S

PLAYGROUNDS IN THE CITY OF BURDUR

Perihan Ünüvar, Elif Süreyya Kanyılmaz, Abstract In recent years, many parents’ attitudes have become more protective. Parents now prefer risk-free playgrounds for their children. Teachers and parents’ priority for their preschool age children is safety. This exaggerated focus on safety and preference for risk-free play and playgrounds leads to a lack of experience and a shortage of stimulation for children. Risk is described as the danger of being harmed. However, risk is highly beneficial for life skills when it is recognized and well-managed by children. Forms of play that have the possibility of physical injury, are exciting and require struggle are categorized as risky play. Risky play gives children chances to struggle, test their limits, experience new things, and learn about themselves and about injuries and risks. It has been suggested that if children are given the opportunity to take risks starting in pre-school, they will learn how to manage risks, develop the skills to deal with greater risks that are harder to manage, develop coordination, balance and coping behaviors and characteristics such as decisiveness and confidence. It is also claimed that if children are not provided with playing environments where they can struggle, they will make misjudgments about their capabilities, which will lead them to take extreme risks or be excessively cautious. For all these reasons, the authors examined public playgrounds and the playgrounds in the preschool education institutions in the city of Burdur using an observation form they created. This study is a survey Keywords: risky play, preschool education, preschool children ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Ozlem TAGAY, E-mail address: [email protected]

BURNOUT AND EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE IN PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS

Reinhard Tschiesner, Free University of Bozen/Bolzano Alessandra Farneti, Free University of Bozen/Bolzano Abstract This investigation deals with burnout processes and the associated emotional experience patterns in professional educators. The importance of emotions is underlined by the fact that emotions changes the readiness to act (Frijda, 1986). Each emotion is connected with certain kinds of behaviour (e.g. disgust with reject of an object or fear with avoidance). Just burnout processes from the educators’ emotional experience point of view become a significant role, because certain emotions are linked with the two most important stages in burnout processes, emotional exhaustion and depersonalization (Maslach & Jackson, 1981; Burisch, 2010). These aspects are able to become meaningful, because educators have to get in relation with learners and people. On account of this emotions have an effect on educational behaviour processes. Method: A sample of nursery and primary school teachers and social educators were recruited and assessed with psychometric questionnaires (Maslach Burnout Inventory - MBI, Emotional Experience and Regulation Questionnaire - EER). Results: Data (N=148) evidences significant positive relations between emotional exhaustion and anxiety, grief, contempt, anger, guilt, shame as well as lifelessness and negative correlations between emotional exhaustion and interest. Significant positive correlations were calculated between depersonalization and shame, contempt, irritability, disgust and negative correlations between depersonalization and interest as well as happiness. Conclusions: Results indicate that consulting emotional experiences in burnout processes is useful: First results improve theoretical considerations concerning burnout models (e.g. Maslach & Jackson, 1981; Freudenberger & North, 1992) and second it can be helpful for explaining educators’ behaviour in burnout processes.

MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES AND PROBLEMATIC INERNET USE

Özcan Özgür Dursun, Cem Cuhadar, Fatma Akgun, Abstract Mobile technology is a concept used to define laptop computers, tablet computers and smart phones. Basically, in line with easier access to the Internet thanks to cellular data and wireless connection, use of mobile technologies is gradually increasing. According to the results of recent studies, the rate of access to the Internet via mobile technologies has exceeded the rate of access to the Internet via desktop technologies. This increase in accessing the Internet via mobile technologies has made the Internet more easily accessible. Easy access to the Internet brings about several problems besides its important advantages. Problematic Internet use is one of these approaches focusing on such problems. Problematic Internet use is defined as individuals’ compulsive use of the Internet, their failure in controlling Internet use and the disorders in their family and business lives due to Internet use (Kim and Davis, 2009). From this point of view, the present study investigated whether accessing the Internet via mobile devices in any place at any time leads to an increase in problematic Internet use. The research was designed as a survey study. The study group included 400 social network users who had wireless access to the Internet via mobile information and communication devices. The research data were collected with the “Problematic Internet Use Scale” developed by Ceyhan, Ceyhan and Gürcan (2007). For the analysis of the data, one-way ANOVA and t-test for independent samples and non-parametric correlation tests were applied. Findings were discussed in line with the relevant and recent literature followed by implications for further research.

DO YOU LIKE PHYSICS?

Žaneta Gerhátová, f Trnava, Faculty of Education, Department of PhysicsPriemyselná 4, 917 43 Trnava, SR Abstract

Physics, essentially the core science that explains the world around us, represents one of the most beautiful areas of human knowledge. A direct result of mankind’s penetration into the laws of nature is reflected in the quality of life of all human beings. It is therefore obvious that an education in physics is very important. But if it is so important, why is physics one of pupils’ and students’ least popular subjects? Why do young people who attend the faculties of education in Slovakia decline to study physics as their specialist subject so often? Why are they repelled by it, to the extent that some even seem to fear it? We intend to investigate the reasoning behind this unfavourable situation and how we can escape it. What, for instance, can teachers do to improve this state? Our pedagogical research, conducted by the questionnaire method, was performed on a sample of 130 students at various faculties of education in Slovakia. We chose students who do not study physics as their specialist subject and searched for the answers to the aforementioned questions alongside other questions related to the teaching as well as the study of physics. The results of the research, which we present in the paper, show where we can improve in order to ensure a higher quality of future physics teachers’ training. Physics teachers must use such procedures and means of education that will make physics lessons more interesting and more understandable for pupils and students. In order to be able to implement these methods and tools into educational practice, practicing teachers must have sufficient specialist knowledge and information and communication competencies and skills, which they can acquire at lifelong learning courses. Keywords: physics, popular subject, questionnaire, unpopular subject

THE RELATIONS BETWEEN MIGRATION AND CRIME

Meryem Bulut,

Abstract

The relations between migration and crime have long been discussed, and they are complex. The issue,

which is usually put as “ does migration increase the rate of crime?” and which has the risk of being one-

sided and biased, has been analysed in recent years in Turkey also. The concepts of immigrant and crime

rate are considered to be directly connected with how people perceive immigrants and mostly with how they

label immigrants. Such labelling or rather stigmatizing, was triggered by the case of „fear of Crime‟- as

stated in the Western countries. One of the bases of the associations established between crime and

immigrants is the view that immigrants cannot adjust to the new place and that they have marginal

tendencies in consequence of economic problems. Another factor lying at the base of this is the view

signalling that immigrants will be a threat to the culture of the country where they settle. These two points

are not restricted to the Western countries only, but the association between migration and crime is true for

any country, as if it was a „universal rule‟. In this issue, that is to say in the relations between migration and

crime, people‟s perception of immigrants is a set of learnt prejudices rather than objective data. Thus, the

fear of crime is triggered, and a stereotype of immigrants who are seen as potential criminals is produced.

Considering immigrants as criminals is also directly associated with the visible state of the immigrants.

Beggars are the most important indicators of this. Due to a huge wave of migrations from Syria, the labels

„immigrant beggar‟ and „criminal‟ have been used side by side for the last two years in Turkey. Mass media

also shapes the migration-criminal association. This study discusses that the migration-crime association is a

set of learnt concepts rather than objective reality, and how the Syrian immigrants are considered in mass

media.

SCAN PATHS REDUCTION AND PATTERNS ANALYSIS IN EYE TRACKING TECHNIQUES

José David Patón Romero, Ana Isabel Molina Díaz, Manuel Ortega Cantero, Miguel Ángel Redondo Duque, Abstract Nowadays, the eye tracking is gaining interest as evaluation technique in a variety of areas and disciplines. Its use allows the study and analysis of the way in which a person visually explores a particular scene, interface or image. The use of this technique in the educational field has increasingly place and impact, highlighting its use in the evaluation of multimedia materials. It is interesting to know how and in which the students are fixed at the time of studying the educational materials displayed on the screen. In particular, it is interesting to know the order of visual exploration that has followed the student. In this way, for example, it can know, given a content consisting of text and images, if it is helpful the explanatory text or if the image on its own is enough.One of the representations obtained by applying eye tracking sessions, is the scan path, that shows the order of points of attention (points of fixation) and the user fixation time on the scene. The main problem is the huge number of points on which a user fixes his attention while visually scans the contents displayed, so these representations are complex and the analysis task is arduous.Thus, the objective sought is to reduce these scan paths and represent those data that can be more relevant to the researcher, such as transitions between the different areas of interest, or the scanning order of them.

TRAINING HEALTH PROFESSIONALS IN TEACHING

COMPETENCES

Susana Aránega, University of Barcelona Nuria Serrat, University of Barcelona Abstract Ongoing training in institutions is an indispensable task to which considerable human and economic resources are devoted. In general it is delivered by external trainers, while it is internal professionals who have in-depth knowledge of the characteristics and needs of their team and organisation. Often these internal experts possess intellectual capital to bring to training, but not the competences required to communicate this effectively. Equipping them with competences for internal training and tools for guiding teams in acquiring knowledge and consolidating skills and attitudes optimizes the institution’s economic resources and improves team rapport (Imbernon, F. 2007; Rubio, A. Álvarez, A.2010; Tejada, J. 2007; Navío,A. 2005). Keywords: internal experts, optimizes the institution’s

THE MONTESSORI TEACHER’S ROLE: BETWEEN LEGACY AND TRANSFORMATION

Rossella Turco, Barbara Caprara

Abstract The aim of this paper is to discuss the role of a Montessori teacher, basing the analysis on Dr. Montessori own writings and underlining the elements of modernity of the emergent profile. Furthermore, in the analysis, we will outline the main characteristics of Montessori teacher training and look specifically at the transformative lifelong process educators are required to undertake within this learning path. A Montessori classroom or learning environment is based on the interaction between the following three pillars; the child, the teacher and the environment. However, although the learning environment and the Montessori vision of childhood have been widely discussed in educational research, not much has been written on the subject of the teacher’s role. In addition, sometimes there is a common misinterpretation that this is secondary to the other two pillars. For this reason, the paper is dedicated to reflections on the figure of a Montessori teacher, starting with the ideal qualities Dr. Montessori discusses in her life-long bibliography, in order to identify its distinctive characteristics and underline its pedagogical relevance.A good quality Montessori education is connected to, if not strongly determined by, the teacher’s role and transformative training process. Montessori has always written about the importance of this and has designed an educational programme in support of this, whose contents are only partially connected with culture. In fact she refers to a transformative learning process, through what she even calls an initiation. The delicate construction of a Montessori teacher is in fact, essentially, a self-education process, aimed at the creation of a new identity through an intellectual, moral and spiritual education, which engages the fields of knowledge and, above all, personal and interpersonal skills in a lifelong perspective.

MINDFULNESS Necla ACUN KAPIKIRAN,

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the direct and indirect roles of social support,

psychological resiliency and mindfulness in the relationship between depression and life

satisfaction. The participants of the study consist of 473 college students attending various

departments of Pamukkale University in Denizli. To gather the data, Depression Scale

(Beck, 1961), Life Satisfaction Scale (Diener et al., 1985), Ego Resiliency Scale

(Block&Kremen, 1997), Multi-Dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimmet,

et .al., 1988) and Cognitive and Affective Mindfulness Scale (Feldman, et.al., 2006). To

analyze the data, SPSS and LISREL were used. First of all, the descriptive statistical

analysis was made for the variables of the study. Each variable was divided into plots for

the normal distribution values of the data. Secondly, indexes based on structural equation

as a result of confirmatory factor analysis reached adequate level.

Lastly, structural equation analysis was conducted to test the mediator model in three

stages. Results indicated perfect fit indexes for three stages of analysis. According to these

results, psychological resiliency, social support and mindfulness have a partial mediator

role in the negative effect of depression on life satisfaction. Examining all mediator

variables‟ mediator role in the relationship between depression and life satisfaction, the

strongest mediator variable was found to be social support. These findings were discussed

within the scope of literature.

THE PRACTICE OF SERVICE QUALITY: HOTEL CASE

Gülten YURTSEVEN, Başkent Üniversitesi, Ticari Bilimler Fakültesi Turizm ve Otelcilik Bölümü Zehra Muluk, Başkent Üniversitesi, Ticari Bilimler Fakültesi, Sigortacılık ve Risk Yönetimi

Abstract The service sector differs from the goods sector with its own characteristics. The service quality has an abstract structure since the services include abstract qualities. Therefore "perceived service quality" term is used instead of the quality of service. Perceived service quality is the perception difference as a result of evaluation process in which the expectations of consumer about performance of service before use and the real service experience after use. Perceived service quality should meet or exceed the expectations of consumer to be considered as satisfactory. The satisfaction from service increases as the service quality increases and thus the demand of consumer to reuse the service increases. That is to say, ensuring the consumer satisfaction in the hotel administration has an important role for consumers to prefer the same enterprise and the enterprise ensuring the consumer satisfaction has a great advantage in competition or keeps itself out of the price competition by increasing its service quality in this sector including significant demand fluctuations. Thus, enterprises ensure the increased efficiency, reduced costs and continuous employment of personnel in the enterprise. The different characteristics of services provided at hotels require employees to show high performance to ensure this satisfaction.

INTEGRATED SPORT: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL LINES

Pau Espinosa, Angela Magnanini, Pasquale Moliterni, Gianni Caione

Abstract Sport for people with disabilities has always been discussion topic in the Sport Sciences field. This controversy has only grown when the paradigm has turned from Adapted Sport (only people with disabilities) to the Integrated Sport (people with and without disabilities), which take some Education principles, precisely from the Special Education field, to build a compact structure model.On the occasion of the First European Day of Integrated Sports organized in Rome, from the 22

nd to the 24

th of May, we

collected some data in order to clear some doubts about the main actors involved in the Sport event, coaches and athletes. During the Sport event, specifically the 23

rd of May, a questionnaire of 11 questions

was administrated to a sample of 25 people from different European nationalities, sex and age. The sample is composed by people without disabilities and persons with disabilities (with different types of disabilities) which take part in the European Sport Event. The questionnaire aims to clear some doubts of the Integrated Sport "veracity", it means, does Integrated Sport really get the Sport essence, such as competition, game, fun (Coubertin, Parlebas, Arnold, Le Boulch) during its practice? Or, conversely, is it aimed by therapeutic, social, relational components? To answer these questions, we must draw on the Integrated Sport model that we build since 2000 in the University of Rome “Foro Italico”. Keywords: therapeutic, social, relational components?

SYMBOL-BERNELEU – ANOTHER METHOD OF METAPHOR AND TROPE

Laila Zhumataikyzy Musali,

Abstract The article is devoted to the symbol- berneleu - another method of metaphor and trobe.The symbol can be regarded as one of the means of artistic expression both strictly and generally depending upon the extent of intention. Strictly the symbol is, for sure, first of all, one of the methods of transformation (trope). Constructed as method of transformation and in the process of development of artistic conception, exceeding the transformation, advancing its aggregative power, the symbol turns into integral artistic-aesthetic phenomenon. In order to comprehensively reveal the character of the symbol, one should regard it in comparison with other artistic categories that are similar to them. In the whole, artistic categories are the major indexes showing the intensity and quality of literary creation. Expectedly that they might have both differences and similarities to some extent as the unity of functions, of content. From this viewpoint the most difficult is the bound and the relation between types of transformation, multiform relations, and these anharmonic relations create artistic merit. The unique character and peculiarity of poetic symbol are different and, at the same time, are tightly bound to other artistic categories.

ANALYSIS OF TECHNOLOGY-PUSH AND DEMAND-PULL

FACTORS IN SMART LEARNING Taisiya Kim, Se Ho Kim, Bong Gyou Lee, Abstract

Information and Communication Technology(ICT) have changed the paradigm of education industry. The introduction of the new technologies have changed not only the learning method, but also the whole educational environment. Growth of Internet usage brought in e-learning concept, which allows learners to reach learning contents on-line. Since then, access to education contents, creation and distribution process became easier than face-to-face educational system. The next paradigm has changed since mobile devices developed. The concept of m-learning allows reaching educational contents anywhere and anytime. Nowadays the concept of Smart Learning has been introduced. The Smart Learning provides individualized education method and allows accessing, storing, and creating high-quality contents using smart devices. South Korea government has pursued for an activation of Smart Learning since 2011 but haven’t made great achievements yet. The main issue is that the pursued model has been considered from the perspective of technology-push, rather than based on demand. Therefore the purpose of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis of technology-push and demand-pull factors of off-line education, e-learning, m-learning and Smart Learning. The factors are derived from the review of literature, reports, papers, articles and interviews of experts in the field of technology and education. The results of the study show that the main technology-push factors of Smart Learning are cloud storage, Big Data utilization, and etc. The demand-pull factors are customized education, demand for high quality contents, and etc. To improve the educational environment of Smart Learning to advanced level, it is important to apply these factors in policy-making process. The results of this research can be used for future education policy and operational guidelines of school education.

BASIC SCIENCE AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF SUSTAINABILITY

Awni Khatib, Hebron University, Hebron, Palestine

Abstract

Advanced technological societies have successfully transitioned from the ‘information age’ to the ‘knowledge age’. Understanding the dynamics of this transition is essential for the Middle East as it will lay the foundations for sustainable growth.Basic scientific research is the milieu in which information is processed into knowledge and technological advancement. Therefore, basic science is a fundamental science over which advanced societies stand. It is the science at the heart of human knowledge. Applied and translational sciences, on the other hand, refer to our ability to utilize the knowledge obtained by basic science and apply it to problems in the physical world. It is not surprising that all advanced technological societies spend a considerable percentage of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on basic scientific research.Basic science can be viewed as the understanding of how the physical world works through direct observations and measurements. It is thus obvious that without understanding how something works, it is rather difficult to fix it when it fails. When a phenomenon is measurable it can be understood and manipulated.Any knowledge-based society that lacks a solid basic science foundation will not be able to sustain its growth. For example, information technology and medical breakthroughs are growing exponentially. Without basic science programs, societies will be unable to keep up with these advancements forcing them to depend on foreign technology and talent to sustain the use of the technology.

STANDARDS FOR MOBILE LEARNING APPLICATIONS: HCI

Nadire Cavus, Sahar Shokouhi Tabrizi,

Abstract

Smartphones have changed the people daily lives. It becomes an inseparable part of young peoples’ lives. This popularity provides the modern platform for their lifestyle, such as education, business, environment, etc. During the last few years, one of the grateful affect of the smartphone is in the education sector. Mobile learning or m-learning is a learning mode, which can use the device to run specific learning tools or mobile applications. Interactions between the instructor (teacher or application) and learners is one of the important parts of pedagogy. In addition, one of the main challenges for designing mobile applications is user interface designing. The appropriate interface of application can prepare the gate for these interactions. In order to achieve acceptable mobile application results, such as other applications, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) standard, particularly Mobile HCI, has been found the way to do usability testing. The authors expect that this paper will be useful for mobile application developers, particularly mobile learning applications and researchers to consider seriously for the impact of the HCI in the mobile application success. This paper theoretically explained the HCI importance in education, and describes how eHCI might be used to services the explicit interaction between the learners and mobile devices.

PRE-SERVICE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TEACHERS’

PERCEPTIONS OF ACTION RESEARCH: A METHAPOR

ANALYSIS STUDY

Elif Buğra Kuzu Demir, Faculty of Education, Department of CEIT, Anadolu University, Eskişehir, Turkey

Abstract

The purpose of this present study was to understand how pre-service IT teachers conceptualize action

research, which is known as teacher research in the literature, through the help of metaphorical images

they use in their everyday lives. Phenomenology, one of qualitative research designs, was used in this study.

A questionnaire including four open-ended questions was used as the data collection tool in order to

determine the metaphors of the students. The participants included 30 pre-service IT teachers studying at

Anadolu University in the spring semester of 2014-2015 academic year. Convenient sampling design was

employed while choosing the participants. Data were analyzed using metaphor analysis, which is a

qualitative research methodology related to content analysis. Findings revealed that pre-service IT teachers

frequently conceptualize action research as spider web, flowing river, Noah’s pudding, space, unsolved

problem and so forth. One of the reason why the participants define action research through those

metaphorical images is that action research has more flexible process compared to other research

methodologies, that is in a particular piece of action research may evolve into something quite different

from its start. Another reason is that due to the feature that facilitates to employ both qualitative and

quantitative research methodologies, action research is more inclusive. Moreover, by means of the

abovementioned reasons, to conduct an action research, one should put so much effort into the scientific

research process compared to other.

INVESTIGATING THE EFFECT OF TEACHER CANDIDATES' SELF-REGULATION STRATEGİES ON ACADEMICSELF

EFFICACY AND ATTACHMENT STYLES

Figen Akça, Uludağ Universitesi Aynur Fırıncı Kodaz Semra Çakır

ABSTACT

Studying teacher candidates' academic self efficacy levels may lead the way of explanation of the processes

of self-regulation of academic learning. In addition, teacher candidates' often use self-regulation strategies,

which is a field of academic life and thought to be effective in their interpersonal relationships.

When the literature of the field analysed though the learning processes, attachment styles and self-efficacy

studies are encountered separately it is known that there has been no direct study to explain the bond

between them. It is thought that the findings gained through a questioning of such relation will be quite

effective datum in counselling students in every step of training.

Therefore, in this study the relation between attachment styles can be a very important factor in the

process of learning and academic self efficacy together with the awareness in the learning process are

being emphasized.

In this research 320 teacher candidates from Faculty of Education in Uludağ University cooperated. Data

collection instruments used in this study consists of four parts. In the first part personal information about

students is asked. In the second part, "Academic Self Efficacy Scale" which was developed by Jerusalem and

Schwarzer in order to determine academic self efficacy in 1981, and in third part, "Motivational Strategies

for Learning Questionnaire (Motivated StrategiesforLearningQuestionnaire)" which was developed by

Pintrich and De Groot (1990) in order to measure teachers' self regulatory skills and meta cognitive

strategies are used. In the last section,Relationship Scales Questionnaire (RSQ) which was developed by

Griffin and Bartholomew(1994) and which was adapted to Turkish by Sumer and Gungor (1999) is applied.

Pearson's correlation test and regression analyzes were used to evaluate the data.

Difficulties in Reading and Mathematics

Hayriye Gül Kuruyer, Aksaray Üniversitesi, TURKEY Ahmet Çakıroğlu, Aksaray Üniversitesi, TURKEY Gökhan Özsoy, University of Ordu, TURKEY

Abstract The purpose of the current study is to determine the pre-service classroom teachers’ pedagogical awareness of and instructional needs for difficulties in reading and mathematics. The study was conducted with the participation of 73 pre-service classroom teachers. In the current study, case study approach was adopted to determine the pre-service classroom teachers’ pedagogical awareness of and instructional needs for difficulties in reading and mathematics. As the participants’ pedagogical awareness and instructional needs are considered to be the unit of analysis, the study was conducted through multiple nested case design. The data of the study were collected through three stages. In the first stage, a semi-structured interview form including eight questions about difficulties in reading and mathematics was used. In the second stage, the participants were provided with school stories about students experiencing difficulties in reading and mathematics and they were asked to evaluate the stories in terms of the difficulties experienced by students. In the third stage, the participants were presented with videos of students experiencing difficulties in reading and mathematics and they were asked to determine the difficulties experienced by the students and the methods to be used to find solutions to these difficulties. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis. At the end of the study, it was observed that the pre-service teachers have some awareness of the difficulties experienced in reading and mathematics. However, they were found to have not any assumptions about how to determine these difficulties and what to do to get rid of them. In light of the findings of the current study, it can be suggested that some courses should be incorporated into classroom teacher education programs as they will be the first people to encounter these problems and to find solutions to them when they start their professional career.

Alteration of the Concepts of Learning and Teaching and Its Results: Is the Alteration of Behavior or Skill Teaching? Ahmet Çakıroğlu, Aksaray Üniversitesi, TURKEY Hayriye Gül Kuruyer, Aksaray Üniversitesi, TURKEY

Abstract In this article, the importance of the concepts of learning and teaching in child education and the theoretical and practical alteration of the outcome targeted by these two concepts from past to present are discussed. In this connection, the process evolving from the changes in learning and teaching behaviors to skill teaching is also discussed. Learning and teaching efforts have been an important area of investigation for institutions involved in the education system from both individual and social viewpoints. How children should be learned and how the education designed for them should be are two issues widely discussed and deeply investigated in relation to science of education. Majority of the studies addressing the nature of learning focus on the factors affecting human behaviors and how people can be directed towards positive behaviors. The outcomes of these research efforts, learning theories are in fact an element of teaching not an element of learning and they have been tried to be adapted to individual learning for ages. Brain research, research on mind-mapping through computer, developments in cognitive psychology have led to the idea that learning must be result of individual effort. These important changes observed in the concepts of learning and teaching gave rise to an important question in child education. Do we have to change students’ behaviors or do we have to teach them skills and try to develop these skills?

Determining the Perceptions of Pre-Service Science Teachers Regarding Environmental Problems through

Word Association

Elif Özata Yücel, Kocaeli University, TURKEY Muhlis Özkan, Uludağ University, TURKEY Abstract Word Association Test (WAT) was administered to 123 people in order to determine the perceptions of pre-service science teachers regarding environmental problems. “Environmental Problems” was given as a key concept to the pre-service teachers, and they were asked to write what came to their minds in 30 seconds on WAT and make one sentence about this concept. The responses concerning the key concept were examined under six themes: “causes”, “effects”, “types”, “measures”, “worry/pessimism”, and “other”. The pre-service teachers were seen to have stronger cognitions and backgrounds about the causes of environmental problems in comparison to other themes. Waste, industrialization, human beings, various gases, motor vehicles, traffic, and natural disasters were cited as main causes. The responses evaluated under the theme of types (of environmental problems) show that the pre-service teachers associated environmental problems with environmental pollution. It is noteworthy that most participants confused the concepts of problem and pollution. The pre-service teachers were seen to have low perceptions regarding the effects of environmental problems. They mostly focused on the effects of environmental problems on human beings. There were few sentences in which the harmful effects of these problems on other living beings were emphasized. That indicates that most of the pre-service teachers participating in the study have a people-oriented approach to the environment. The pre-service teachers gave too limited responses about the measures that can be taken against environmental problems, but they made many sentences on this subject. Emphases laid by the pre-service teachers on environmental awareness, consciousness, and love in these sentences demonstrate that they think that education is important for the solution of environmental problems. The pre-service teachers were also seen to be worried and pessimistic about environmental problems. The research results reveal that perceptions regarding environmental problems are not adequate among pre-service science teachers. This lack of perception among pre-service science teachers, who are to play an important part in raising environmental awareness, can be eliminated only through an effective environmental education. Teaching environment and environmental problems in an integrated and real life-based way may allow raising perceptions of individuals and making realistic solutions meaningful on the basis of life sciences. Key words: Environmental Education, Perception, Pre-Service Teachers, Science, Word Association

Abstract Aim: Computer and communication technologies(CCT) using duration and physical activity requirements according to different variable such as exercise habit, exercising by computer supported (CS) programs, thinking the exercise related websites are beneficial, pain, recreational(free time) activities were investigated in geriatric individuals over 60 years old. Method: Participants were 65 (60-77) years old living in North Cyprus. Internet using duration/frequency was asked for year, month, week, day. Thinking to exercise with CS program, situation of using websites related to physical activity during internet use, exercise habit, pain after computer use was stated as existent or absent. Opinion about exercising with CS program make feeling healthy and benefit of web sites related to physical activity was categorized as absolutely agree, agree, not sure, disagree, absolutely disagree. Recreational activities were reported. The relationship between computer using frequency and other parameters were analyzed. Outcomes: Thirty-two individuals (18men, 14women) were participated. Men use internet more years (rho:-0.41, p: 0.04). Increase in internet using year was related to increase in exercise habit (rho: 0.56; p:0.00). Internet using weekly increase was related to increase in exercising by CS program (rho:0.42; p:0.04); utilizing web sites for physical activity(rho:0,49; p:0,02) and benefit of these websites(rho: 0.49; p:0.02). The increase in internet using hours daily was related to the painful regions (rho:-0.69; p: 0.03). The recreational activities increase was related to an increase in thinking these web sites were beneficial (rho: 0.56; p:0.01); feeling healthy by exercising by computer support (rho:0.58; p:0.01); decrease in pain (rho:-0.46; p:0.05). The increase in individuals exercised by CS physical activity before was related an increase in exercising with these web sites (rho: 0.50; p:0.01) and using these web sites (rho:0.84; p:0.00). The increase in thinking to exercise by CS physical activity increased benefit of these web sites (rho:0.59; p:0.00). Conclusion: The increase in CCT using duration was stated as an increase in physical activity requirements. It was determined that these requirement was balanced by CS exercise options and obtaining recreational activity.

Keywords: Recreation, physical activity, web sites, exercise, computer supported.

ROLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN LIFE LONG LEARNING

Aysel GÜNİNDİ ERSÖZ Abstract

The learning process, which used to be called apprenticeship and non-formal education previously and has become “lifelong learning” with the 2000s, is in fact a reflection of the characteristics of the current era that we live in. Rapid changes that occur in social structure caused theoretical information to become more necessary in postindustrial societies to make the required innovations and political decisions, and so information has become a key concept. At this type of society, individuals are forced to learn throughout their lives in order to keep up with the society that they live in. Lifelong learning is defined as the entire learning activities that happen in an individual’s personal, societal and employment perspectives, which continue throughout life with the aim of enhancing information, skills and competence. In sum lifelong learning is a process which starts with an individual’s birth and ends with his/her death. In formal education lifelong learning is carried on according to a curriculum and outside school, it is mostly applied by giving certificates of competency based on work skills development and improvement. In addition to this, there are trainings where people can attend to improve their weak skills where they need or in areas to get more information and skills (talent). According to the “Adult Training Research” held by Turkish Statistical Institute, the participation of Turkish population at age 18 and above in non-formal education is found to be %17. These ratios are very low when compared to western countries. Studies to improve lifelong learning have been accelerated. Lifelong learning operations are being held at first by Ministry of National Education, and then universities, municipalities, confederations, Turkish Employment Organization, syndicates etc. Especially the course varieties and participant rate in metropolitan municipalities, cities and districts have an important place regarding lifelong learning. Hence, at the report prepared for 2014-2018 period by Ministry of National Education the “Turkish Life Long Learning Strategy Document and Action Plan”, the need for local governments to take effective role in lifelong learning is emphasized. The main objective of this study is to discuss the role of local governments in lifelong learning regarding the number of courses, participants, demographics of the participants and reasons for participation. *ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Aysel GÜNİNDİ ERSÖZ E-mail address: [email protected]

Situations of Elderly People on Urban Renewal Process in Ankara

Ayşe Canatan Abstract

In big cities firstly some slum areas were developed near by the city settlements by immigrants who are migrated from rural to urban areas. Although, slums are unlawful and insufficient settlements to meet the needs of people living there, especially migrant people prefer to live slums because of low rent and land prices. Governments were getting to vote, firstly provided to transportation services to connect them to city and then water, sewage, school, health center, etc. After a while slums became neighborhoods of the cities. Today these slums became lawful, people gave taxes of their places and renewal process started to change these settlements. Young adults can be adapted to new style of living but new life can not easy to elderly people. They may search new places to live and may migrate to other slum areas.

As it is known cities develop from center to periphery but as a reason of rapid urbanization of cities are developing enormously under the effect of interest of building construction sector. Today, in big cities after the slums secondly old neighborhoods at the center of the city are in the process of demolition of old buildings and reconstruction of new style buildings. In big cities, old settlements are in central part of the city and their establishment dates are quite old. Also residents of these neighborhoods are mostly elderly people. They live in these places several years. They have experiences (informal learning matters) about urban life and “their living places”.

In this research, elderly people who are living in Ankara Bahçelievler and Emek neighborhoods confronting the urban renewal process are in the focus. How can they adapt to new life? Whether they have thought about developing new strategies to adapt new conditions? It was made deep interviews with elderly people (N=8) and some real estate consultants ( N= 3) and mukthars (N=2). Elderly people are worried about their homes which they lived at least for 40 years. They have questions about adaptations also they don’t want to any problem because of they do not have extra income other than their salaries. Their income insufficiency is very important problem to their life.

Influence of native language and general English proficiency on the use of articles in English

Selma Elyıldırım, Gazli University, TURKEY Abstract

Second language learners face a great difficulty in the use of English articles, especially when their native language does not have an article system which is similar to the target language they learn. De Keyser (2005:5) points out this issue and says that “where the semantic system of the L1 is different from that of the L2, as it is often the case, or where equivalent notions do not get expressed overtly in L1, except through discourse patterns the learning problem is serious and persistent”. In addition, even if articles exist in their native language, they do not manage to choose the right English article as it is quite complicated and there is not one-to-one form-meaning association.

Turkish is one of the languages which lacks an article system marking the semantic features ‘definiteness’ or ‘specificity’. However, it encodes these features by using case morphology, word order, stress and tense-aspect modality. Being aware of the fact that this difference and lack of an article system similar to English may cause problems to learners, this study investigates the acquisition of the English articles by Turkish learners.

Data came from a fill-in-the blank task and a cloze test. The former test included 20 sentences assessing the production of English articles in terms of definiteness and specificity whereas the latter test had 20 blanks measuring the proficiency of learners. Thirty five English major students attending a university in Turkey participated in the study.

Following the data collection, the data were analysed to find out the effect of the learners’ native language as well as their general English proficiency on the production of English articles. The results provided supporting evidence that the participants had some difficulties in the production of the definite and indefinite articles in English due to the negative impact of their native language and incomplete knowledge about English articles.

In view of these findings, this paper discusses both the results and pedagogical implications of the study.

Nevriye YAZÇAYIR, Gazi Faculty of Education, Gazi University, Ankara / TURKEY Kıymet SELVİ, Faculty of Education, Anadolu University, Eskisehir / TURKEY

Abstract

Teacher competencies refer to general information, skills and attitudes required for being an effective and

a productive teacher. According to traditional approach, teacher competencies are determined in three

main fields: field competencies, pedagogical competencies and cultural competencies. However, nowadays

teacher competencies are discussed in broader and different dimensions with regard to reform studies in

education, developments in teacher education, scientific results in the fields of education sciences and

other sciences. This dimensions are; “field competencies, research competencies, program competencies,

life-long learning competencies, social-cultural competencies, emotional competencies, communication

competencies, information and communication technology competencies (ICT) and environmental

competencies”. ICT competencies defined as one of the teacher competencies have been one of the most

important competencies for all individuals. While ICT competencies are included in some studies of teacher

competencies in literature, these competencies are examined under the heading of “general competencies”

and in a limited scope. This study aimed at to determine the ICT competencies of class teachers. This

research will be carried out as a qualitative research. In the research, the data gathered at four stages and

with different data collection methods from 40 class teachers by means of using Delphi technique.

Research stages are given below.

Stage 1: Three written open-ended research questions were given to 40 class teachers and teachers’

responses to these questions were taken in a written form. Teachers’ written opinions were analyzed by

researchers and teacher’s ICT competencies were determined. Stage 1 of the research was completed.

Stage 2: A three-hour face to face brain storming meeting comprised of two rounds was organized and 20

class teachers’ opinions were collected related to ICT competencies of classroom teachers.

Stage 3: A list of class teachers’ ICT competencies were made based on the opinions determined at Stage 1

and Stage 2. The list will be given to 20 teachers. It will be asked if they agree with competencies in the list.

Stage 4: ICT competencies of class teachers will be defined based on the data gathered from the research.

Findings aren’t included in the abstract because the research process continues.

Dersi Günlük Hayatla İlişkilendirme Ve Derste İlginç Materyal Kullanımının Fen Başarısına Etkisi

Mehmet Ikbal Yetişir, Ankara Universitesi, Türkiye Eren Ceylan, Ankara Universitesi, Türkiye Abstract Türkiye’de 2005 yılından itibaren öğretim programlarında kapsamlı değişikler yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Yapılandırmacı öğretim anlayışını merkeze alan yeni öğretim programlarında ve eş zamanlı olarak yayımlanan birçok dokümanda derslerin günlük hayatla ilişkisinin kurulmasının önemine değinilmektedir. Böylece çocukların hem akademik başarıları artacak hem de ezberlemek yerine okulda öğrendiklerini günlük hayatta karşılaştıkları problemlerin çözümünde başarılı bir şekilde kullanabileceklerdir. Günlük yaşamla ilişkilendirmenin kolaylıkla yapılabildiği derslerden biri de kuşkusuz fen bilgisi dersidir. Bu bağlamda fen derslerini günlük hayatla ilişkilendirmenin öğrencinin fen performansları üzerindeki etkisini ortaya çıkarmak bu çalışmanın temel amacını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada kullanılan veriler TIMSS 2011 ()çalışmasından alınmış ve sadece sekizinci sınıf düzeyi ile sınırlı kalınmıştır. IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) tarafından dört yılda bir düzenlenen TIMSS çalışmasıyla öğrenci, öğretmen, idareciler ve program uzmanı gibi ilgili veri kaynaklarından oldukça geniş bir çerçevede veri toplanmaktadır. Burada öğretmenlerden toplanan veriler arasında derslerini günlük hayatla ne sıklıkla ilişkilendirdikleri ve derslerinde ne sıklıkla ilginç materyal kullandıkları da yer almaktadır. Çalışmada kullanılan veri seti katmanlı bir yapıya sahip olduğu için analizlerde HLM kullanılmıştır. Yapılan HLM analizi sonucunda ilginç bulgulara ulaşılmıştır. Öğretmenlerin sekizinci sınıf fen bilgisi derslerine öğrenciler için ilginç olan materyaller getirme sıklıklarının öğrencilerin fen başarısı üzerinde etkisinin olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Şaşırtıcı olan bir diğer bulgu ise fen derslerinin günlük hayatla ilişkilendirme sıklığı ile öğrencilerin fen performansları arasındaki negatif ilişkidir. Çalışmada literatür eşliğinde tartışılan bu bulgular öğretmenlerin “günlük hayatla dersleri ilişkilendirme”den ne anladıkları ve gerçekte sınıf içerisinde bu bağlamda neler yaptıklarına biraz daha yakından bakılması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. *ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Mehmet Ikbal Yetişir, Ankara Universitesi, Türkiye E-mail address: [email protected]

OPINIONS of SCHOOL PRINCIPALS ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY on EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Coşkun BAYRAK, Anadolu University, TURKEY Beyza HİMMETOĞLU, Anadolu University, TURKEY Abstract Accountability is defined as to demonstrate that the work has been done appropriate with pre-determined rules and standards and to report the results and outcomes of the work honestly and openly (UNDP, 2008). Accountability on educational organization is taken as the success of students and the school as a whole (Lunenburg and Ornstein, 2013; Linn, 2003). Accountability criterion of school principals is seen as achieving pre-determined success standards of schools (Fraine, Van Damme and Onghena, 2002). Accountability criteria on education organizations are generally evaluated as abstract because there are not sufficient regulations about this issue, there are problematic parts of accountability implementations on educational organizations (Özdemir, Bülbül and Acar, 2009) and there are not sufficient researches about accountability on educational organizations (Kantos and Balcı, 2011). The studies having been conducted reveal that school principals and teachers do not comprehend and internalize the concept of accountability precisely which is a part of “new public management approach”. The accountability is taken as being accountable to superiors and so it stay in the boundaries of legal and political accountability (Cendon, 2002). The reasons such as over-centralized structure of Turkish education system (Okçu, 2011), political impacts on educational decisions (Özdemir, 2013) and failure of students in national and international exams (EİR, 2013) indicate the importance of accountability and the necessity of improving accountability. In this regard, the main purpose of this study is to evaluate the opinions and suggestions of school principals about accountability on schools. The study has been designed as phenomenological model which is a qualitative research model. The sample of study consists of school principals who work in Eskisehir at primary, secondary and high schools. The reason of choosing school principals as the study sample is that the concept of accountability is directly related with administration level of an organization. Data of the study are collected with semi-structured interviews. While preparing the interview form, the literature on the concept of accountability was examined and opinions of field experts were taken into consideration. Data of the study are in the process of being gathered.
