This study explores the effect of flipped classroom on the self-regulation of learners in the Academic Writing Skills course at a state university in Turkey. The intervention lasted ten weeks within one academic term. Participants in the study were sophomores assigned to experimental (n=25) and control (n=26) groups. The study adopted a pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design, wherein the control group was taught in a traditional method while the experimental group received flipped instruction. Writing Strategies for Self-Regulated Learning Questionnaire was adapted to apply in a different cultural context (Turkey), and the data from a sample (n=430) were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis. As pre- and post-tests, the adapted version of the questionnaire was conducted for both groups. The findings revealed that the experimental and the control groups significantly differed from each other in overall writing self-regulation favouring the experimental group. Relevant implications are discussed.

Higher levels of education and well-being are the indicators of the prosperity of nations and consequently the world. The academics that work at faculties of education are among the building blocks that contribute to the well-being of nations through the teachers they educate. The main purpose of this study is to explore the views of academics teaching at faculties of education on how their well-being is affected by their marital status, administrative duties, and professional seniority. In this qualitative phenomenological study, the data were collected through in-depth interviews. The quota sampling technique was adopted to ensure the diversity of participants and the richness of data. The participants were A total number of 20 academics teaching at 7 different faculties of education in Turkey. The data were analyzed by content analysis and findings are discussed in relation to prior research in the literature. The results of the study suggest that; for marital status, that sharing life and having support in a balanced relationship, being a parent, and motivation provided by the partner increase academics’ well-being while having to spare time to family and the negative social attitude towards single individuals negatively affect it. Regarding the administrative duties, taking responsibilities, being recognized for accomplishments, socialization, feeling of achievement, widening perspective, and reaching vast sources have a positive effect on well-being while the relationships based on self-interest and spending more time to administrative duties than academic studies reduce it. As for the professional seniority, accumulation of experience and knowledge, gaining titles, and widening social networks positively affect academics’ well-being while injustice, not getting tenure, and bureaucratic obstacles have a negative effect.

This study aims to provide an overview and contribute to the related literature by examining the videos created by the students. In this context, a systematic literature review was conducted in addition to a bibliometric analysis that was performed using the bibliographic data from Web of Science directory to identify the common words. Afterwards, word clouds were formed based on the information gathered from titles, keywords, and abstracts of studies. The literature highlights the metacognition category, that is students' thinking about their own learning, with relation to the purpose of use for the student-generated videos. Further, it is observed that the sampling of studies was mostly carried out in the higher education level. In terms of theoretical background, unspecified studies outnumber; theories in which students actively engage such as collaborative learning, constructivist approach and experiential learning stand out.

This study evaluates the learning outcomes in secondary education English Curriculums regarding knowledge and cognitive process in Revised Bloom Taxonomy. Document analysis was adopted as a qualitative research method in data analysis. A total of 245 learning outcomes was studied, 52 of which were in grade 5, 60 in grade 6, 63 in grade 7 and 70 in Grade 8. As a result of research it was seen that most of the outcomes, belonging to 5, 6, 7, and 8th grade English teaching curriculum, were at the dimension of “conceptual knowledge” of Revised Bloom Taxonomy’s knowledge dimension. According to the conceptual knowledge dimension, the most outcomes were seen at the “applying”. An analysis of the results suggested that knowledge and cognitive process were not evenly distributed in English courses. The results pointed out that most of the learning outcomes accounted for “conceptual knowledge” in grade 5, 6, 7 and 8 level English courses. In terms of the “cognitive process”, the most frequent one is was the “applying” section. Applying increased as a learning outcome in grade 5, 6 and 7, whereas analysis and creation are were included in learning outcomes for grade 8 and advanced thinking. However, the cognitive process failed to increase in the learning outcomes from grade 5 to 7. Hence, it is possible to suggest that the distribution of learning outcomes be planned carefully based on the students’ levels

The aim of this research is to adapt the Real and Electronic Communication Skills Scale (RECS) to Turkish samples. The study consists of two stages. In the first stage, linguistic validity, exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency coefficient, test-retest, and item analysis studies were conducted with 680 adolescents. In the second stage, confirmatory factor analysis and concurrent validity were carried out with 409 participants. The findings obtained in the first stage indicated that the Real Communication Skills (RCS) subscale and the Electronic Communication Skills (ECS) subscale explained 60.64% and 58% of the total variance, respectively. It was determined that item factor loads varied between .62 and .89 for RCS and between .55 and .89 for ECS. The internal consistency coefficient and test-retest values were good. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed in the second stage, the goodness of fit indexes of the scale were good (χ2=803.43; df=451; χ2/df=1.78; p=0.00; RMSEA=.044; SRMR=.04; GFI=.90; AGFI=.85; CFI=.98; NFI=.95; IFI =.98; RFI = .95). The concurrent validity analyses indicated that it had significant relationships with the Social Skills Scale, the Communication Skills Scale, and the Shyness Scale. As a result of the analyses, it can be said that the Turkish version of the RECS is valid and reliable.

This study aimed to examine the experiences of the second year undergraduate students of Elementary Mathematics Teaching (EMT) within the scope of the Mathematicians Who Left a Mark in History (MWLMH) Project carried out within the scope of the Community Service Practices (THU) course. The case study method, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. The participants of the research consist of 14 undergraduate students studying in the second year of the EMT program of a state university in the Western Black Sea region in the spring semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. The data of the research were obtained from the reflective diaries that the students kept regularly every week from the beginning to the end of the project process, and from the focus group interviews held with the students after the process was over. The obtained data were subjected to content analysis. As a result of the research; it has been determined that the MWLMH project contributes to PEMT undergraduate students in different aspects such as gaining teaching experience, experiencing designing materials and how to integrate MH into lessons and strengthening their communication skills. In addition, EMT undergraduate students were determined mostly pre-service teacher-related challenges as designing materials, also administrator-related challenges as being unwilling/indifferent. Lastly, EMT students emphasized that the activities/materials they developed were useful, interesting and entertaining for students and contributed to their awareness towards MH. Based on the results of the research, various recommendations were provided.

Model-eliciting activities (MEA) represent a distinct form of problem-solving exercises that deviate from conventional problem-solving approaches. They encompass complex real-life scenarios characterized by multiple feasible solutions, demanding non-routine thinking with open-ended possibilities. Lesh and Doerr (2003) posit that MEA conform to specific principles, encompassing model construction, reality, self-evaluation, model externalization (construct certification), model generalization, and effective prototype principles. This study examines the compatibility of tasks in Turkey's middle school mathematics applications textbooks (grades 5-8) with the principles of model-eliciting activities (MEA). The analysis focuses on five principles: reality, model construction, self-evaluation, model documentation, and model generalization. The findings reveal varying degrees of compatibility across different grades. The reality and model generalization principles show more robust compatibility, while the model construction and model documentation principles have mixed levels of compatibility. The self-evaluation principle demonstrates varied compatibility. The study highlights strengths and areas for improvement in the tasks' alignment with MEA principles and emphasizes the importance of real-life relevance and model application. Suggestions are made to enhance explicit guidance in model construction and documentation. The study provides implications for curriculum design, teacher professional development, instructional strategies, student engagement, assessment practices, and future research in mathematics education. However, limitations, such as the absence of student perspectives and contextual factors, should be considered when interpreting the findings.

Translation from source language (L1) to target language (L2) and/or vice versa plays an important role for language learners since they tend to use translation in order to understand and interpret the language utterances. Perspectives towards the use of translation in foreign language teaching and learning process have changed over the time. As the learners are not native speakers of L2, they are likely to utter some structurally or semantically deviant forms of language. For this reason, conducting an error analysis procedure might be of crucial importance in understanding which domains of language are erroneous for language learners in order to fix the problems and improve language proficiency. In Turkey, English Language Teaching bachelor degree programs include the translation course where student-teachers are supposed to handle translations from L1 to L2 and L2 to L1. In this study, the translation assignments of 30 pre-service EFL teachers were investigated through document analysis and findings point out that the errors fall into structural, lexical and translational/interpretational categories. Finally, the pedagogical implications were drawn in relation to the field.
