The aim of this study is to examine the students’ opinions on the power exercised by their teachers in the EFL classes in Türkiye. The participants of the study, which was designed as a survey method, consisted of 243 university students. To collect the data, the “Teacher Power Use Scale” was developed. The scale was developed in three stages. The results obtained supported a five-factor structure consisting of 36 items. The factors were named as “expert power”, “reward power”, “referent power”, “coercive power” and “legitimate power”, respectively. Descriptive statistics were computed to display the students’ overall responses to the Teacher Power Use Scale. T-test was conducted to determine whether there were any significant differences in gender variable. One-way ANOVA was conducted to investigate whether there were any differences in the opinions of students on the teacher power exercises in terms of attending office hours, and accessibility of EFL teachers variables. It was obtained that teachers exercised expert power, referent power at high level while they exercised reward power, coercive power and legitimate power at moderate level. There was a significant difference in the coercive power dimension in terms of students’ opinions on the power exercises in the classroom in favor of male students. Attending office hour was not a significant variable in terms of students’ opinions on the power exercised by their teachers. Finally, the scores obtained from the scale differed significantly in the dimensions of the scale except for the coercive power and legitimate power according to the accessibility level of EFL teachers.

Good teaching is crucial for implementing the school curriculum and is taken seriously by teacher training institutions. Pre-service teachers of various colleges of education are taken through multiple assessment strategies to obtain information for improving teacher training curricula to achieve the aim of training quality teachers for effective curriculum implementation. One of the ways of sourcing information for fine-tuning teacher training is the assessment of pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs. Sourcing information on pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs helps to determine their readiness to implement the school curriculum after their training. This study aimed to assess the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service economics teachers at the University of Cape Coast using a quality teaching model as a framework. All 77 final-year pre-service economics teachers at the University of Cape Coast were included in the study. A questionnaire aimed at measuring the self-efficacy beliefs of pre-service economics teachers were used to collect data. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics. The study’s key findings were that pre-service economics teachers were highly self-efficacious in teaching economics; male pre-service economics teachers had a higher self-efficacy belief than their female counterparts; and there was a weak, insignificant positive relationship between self-efficacy belief and pre-service economics teachers’ performance in off-campus teaching practice. It was recommended that female pre-service economics teachers should be encouraged more by their lecturers to help them improve their self-efficacy beliefs in teaching senior high school economics.

The study results confirmed: There are now around 350 songs recorded in the Guizhou Yi area, with 40 of them being the most popular. A group of 16 people are the inheritors of Yi folk tunes. There are eight recognized inheritors from Guizhou Province and eight recognized inheritors from Guizhou City among them. The number of Yi inheritors in Guizhou is currently small in proportion to the overall Yi population. The decrease in inheritance venues and the use of inheritance venues both have an impact on song inheritance. Yi folk songs have now become the key presentation and inheritance settings for festivals. There are five basic inheritance approaches proposed: 1) Educational institution inheritance 2) Society and community inheritance 3) family inheritance 4) social media inheritance; and 5) socialization and government participation inheritance.
