This study aims to determine the value preferences of preservice teachers and examine them in terms of different variables such as gender, class, place of residence, field of study, and reasons for choosing the teaching profession. In addition, the study investigates the preferences of preservice teachers for the primary values that a teacher should possess. The research was conducted with teacher candidates studying at Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University Faculty of Education in the 2020-2021 Fall Semester. Care was taken to ensure that prospective teachers took part in the research voluntarily. In the research, the data of 836 teacher candidates were evaluated. Personal Information Form created by the researchers and Values Scale developed by Dilmaç, Arıcak and Cesur (2014) were used as data collection tools. In the research, firstly, the value preferences of teacher candidates were examined and the highest value areas were human dignity, social values, freedom values, intellectual values, career values, futuwwa values, spirituality and materialistic values; Romantic values were determined as the lowest value area. Teacher candidates’ value preferences generally did not show a significant difference according to gender, class, place of residence and reasons for choosing the teaching profession; It showed a significant difference according to the department variable. It has been determined that teacher candidates prioritize the values of justice, education and knowledge in their selection of the primary values that a teacher should have, and these are followed by the values of responsibility, tolerance, respect, helpfulness, personal development, mental health, consistency and effort, respectively. The findings of the study were discussed in the light of the literature.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, kültüre dayalı günlük hayatta kullanılan söz kalıplarını içeren etkinliklerin öğrencilerin öznel iyi oluşlarına, arkadaşlık ilişkilerine ve akran zorbalığına yönelik etkisini nicel ve nitel boyutları ile birlikte incelemektir. Araştırmanın metadolojisi karma yöntem yaklaşımının içe içe gömülü desenidir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını 22 ilkokul dördüncü sınıf öğrencisi, onların ebeveynleri ve bir sınıf öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın nicel verileri “İlköğretim Öğrencilerinin İyi Oluş Ölçeği”, “Arkadaş İlişkileri Ölçeği” ve “Akran Zorbalığı Belirleme Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Nicel verilerin analizlerinde t-testi ve Wilcoxon işaretli sıralar testi analizleri yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın nitel verileri öğretmen günlükleri ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formundan elde edimiştir. Nitel verilerin içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları, kültüre dayalı günlük hayatta kullanılan söz kalıpları kullanımının öğrencilerin öznel iyi oluşlarını arttırdığını, arkadaşlık ilişkilerini güçlendirdiğini ve akran zorbalığı zorba boyutu davranışlarında azalmanın sağlanabildiğini göstermiştir. Ancak akran zorbalığı kurban olma boyutunda önemli bir etki gözlenememiştir. Bu araştırma ile kültürel bir öğe olan söz kalıpları kullanımının öğrencilerin düşüncelerini ve kişiler arası iletişimini güçlendirerek istenen yöndeki davranışlarını arttırdığı, istenmeyen yöndeki davranışlarını ise büyük oranda azalttığı sonuca varılmıştır.

The aim of this study is to adapt the 'Digital Addiction Scale for Children,' developed by Hawi, Samaha, and Griffiths (2019), into Turkish to create a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining the levels of digital addiction among 4th-grade primary school students. For the adaptation of the scale into Turkish, 771 4th-grade primary school students from the central districts of Mersin province were included in the study using a convenient sampling method. First, the translation of the scale into Turkish was carried out with the support of language and field experts. Subsequently, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied to establish construct validity. According to the results of the conducted CFA, it was found that the structure of the 'Digital Addiction Scale for Children', consisting of 25 items and 9 subscales, had good model fit indices. The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient for the reliability of the scale was calculated as .95 for the entire scale. Based on the findings obtained in the study, it can be stated that the 'Digital Addiction Scale for Children' is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine the levels of digital addiction among primary school students in Turkey.

This study investigates the effects of ability-based and opinion-based social comparisons on interpersonal problems and concurrently explores the mediating roles of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation within these relational dynamics. A demographic information form, the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex Scales Short Form (IIP-C), the Iowa-Netherlands Comparison Orientation Measure (INCOM), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) were administered to 549 volunteer undergraduates. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the study data. The test results of the proposed model indicated that ability-based social comparison has significant direct and indirect effects on interpersonal problems. In contrast, opinion-based social comparison has no significant direct or indirect effects on interpersonal problems. To clarify, comparing their abilities with others is a significant factor in undergraduates’ interpersonal problems. Moreover, self-esteem and emotion dysregulation significantly mediate this association. Conversely, comparing their opinions with others is not a significant factor in their experiences of interpersonal problems, and this remained consistent in the mediation of self-esteem and emotion dysregulation. Expected and differentiated findings of the study about the associations of distinct comparison types were discussed in light of the current literature. Presented recommendations for further research included diversifying the sample and considering sub-dimensions of interpersonal problems.

This study aims to examine the relationship between lifelong learning tendencies and research literacy levels of teachers working in Türkiye. The sample of the study, which was designed as correlational research model, consisted of 455 teachers selected by convenient sampling. The “Teachers’ Research Literacy Skills Scale”, and “Lifelong Learning Tendency Scale” were used to collect the data. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistics such as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum were used to determine the teachers’ research literacy and lifelong learning tendency levels. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to determine the relationship between teachers’ research literacy and lifelong learning tendencies. Simple linear regression analysis was used to determine to what extent teachers’ research literacy predicted their lifelong learning tendencies. The findings showed that teachers’ research literacy levels were at high level and their lifelong learning tendency levels were at very high level. It was determined that the research literacy and lifelong learning tendency levels of the teachers did not differ significantly in terms of gender variable while they differed significantly in terms of education level variable. There was a positive, significant, and moderate level relationship between teachers’ research literacy and lifelong learning tendencies.

English education programs are updated to keep up with the new trends and approaches. Curriculum designers introduce the changes into the curriculum. Since the teachers are expected to prepare students for the high-stakes exams, these exams are one of the problems that teachers face during their classes because of the preparation process. This study is therefore set out to determine the effects of high-school entrance exams on the implementation of the English curriculum. The methodological approach taken in this study is a mixed methodology based on the teachers’ views. 201 EFL teachers working at lower secondary schools filled the questionnaire regarding their in-class practices. Among the teachers, 10 teachers are interviewed by taking ample notes. To collect the quantitative data, web tools are utilized due to the vexatious process of Covid-19 days. The results of the study reveal that the high-school entrance test has negative effects regarding the approaches and methods employed in the classes. Furthermore, the classroom practices differ in different grades. The negative washback effects of high-stakes tests outweigh the positive ones in terms of the use of English language in a communicative way.

This article analyses the concept of internationalizing teacher education curricula in Turkish higher education. It relies on the data collected from the prospective teachers with an international experience during their pre-service teacher education process. The eleven participants from different teacher education programs of a state university in the west part of Türkiye explain their opinions on internationalization through comparisons between their university in Türkiye and the host university abroad, focusing on the curriculum used in each country. The findings mainly show that the prospective teachers have a favourable viewpoint regarding internationalization and agree with the necessity to add an international aspect to the teacher education curricula. However, they find the curricula in their countries insufficient for internationalization and for providing prospective teachers with a global perspective. Furthermore, they have more optimistic perceptions about the curricula used in the host countries and desire that teacher educators use more interactive teaching methods in their countries, too. These findings suggest that teacher education must include an international aspect in the curriculum, and this process must be integrative and multi-faceted.
