In Türkiye, Science and Art Centers (SACs) are the institutions where gifted students receive the most education. The aim of this research is to gather opinions and experiences related to various aspects of SAC, including identification, educational programs, problems, advantages and disadvantages, teachers, family approach, and benefits of being a graduate. In this study, the case study design, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The participant group of the study consists of 12 students who graduated from SAC. Data were collected with a semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher and analyzed by content analysis method. According to the research results, graduate students emphasized that the selection and placement process for SAC should be based on more scientific grounds. In addition, they stated that SAC’s educational programs have positively contributed to their careers. Students expressed that the support of their families is one of the most important factors for them. However, they also expressed that the physical and material facilities of SAC need to be improved. Researchers are recommended to conduct longitudinal studies on SAC graduate students.

Due to its social and personal outcomes, the level of attainment of the objectives of fundamental education has always been a topic of global concern. Enhancing children’s level of success in every discipline by assuring school attachment is one of the most essential factors in accomplishing the objectives of basic education. In this study, the influence of positive school experiences and school satisfaction on school attachment was investigated. In this context, the mediating effect of school satisfaction on the relationship between 3rd and 4th-grade primary school students’ perceptions of positive experiences at school and their school attachment was examined. Using the Positive Experiences at School Scale, the School Satisfaction Scale, and The School Attachment Scale for Children and Adolescents, data were collected from 912 students enrolled in elementary school. The results indicated that positive school experiences had an effect on school attachment both directly and indirectly via the partial mediation effect of school satisfaction. Based on the findings, recommendations were formed.

Entrepreneurial and innovative higher education institutions of the 21st century have become the driving forces of social development, economic growth and global competitiveness by improving human capital through the educational and instructional services they offer, producing qualified scientific information through the scientific research they conduct and by fulfilling an important responsibility in the solution of social problems. In the current study, the effect of higher education on global competition in the context of the transformation of knowledge into economic value in OECD countries was analyzed with the Granger Panel Causality Test. In the application part, a panel data set was created with the data collected from 25 OECD countries for which data were available for the period 2006-2017. The Global Competitiveness Index variable was taken as the basis to reveal the global competitiveness of the countries included in the analysis. In order to reveal the status of their higher education, the gross schooling rate in higher education, the employment rate of the population with higher education, public expenditures on higher education, the quality of the education system, the quality of scientific research institutions, the performance of scientific publications, the R&D expenditures made by higher education and the university-industry cooperation variables were taken as the basis. As a result of the application, it was determined that each variable representing higher education has a bilateral causality relationship in the short term with the Global Competitiveness Index representing global competition.

Cooperative learning is a learning model in which students support each other's learning in cooperation with each other. In the cooperative learning model, the education process has many advantages in terms of academic, social, psychological, measurement-evaluation, and economic aspects. In this study, which examines the effect of cooperative learning on students' learning outcomes, 23 first-order meta-analysis studies revealed the effects of cooperative learning model-based teaching on students' learning outcomes between 2010-2021, and 23 effect sizes from these studies were combined with the second-order meta-analysis method. In the study, teaching style, performance types, teaching level, research area, publication quality, publication bias status, report types, and location where the research was conducted were considered moderator variables. As a result of the study, it was determined that the effect of cooperative learning models on student outcomes was moderate. It was also revealed that the levels of cooperative learning outcomes for different domains differ. It has been determined that cooperative learning is also an essential factor in student outcomes. In addition, this study determined that the location of the meta-analysis studies was an important factor in the average effect sizes. Suggestions were made in line with the results of the research.
