This study aims to investigate the relation between preschoolers’ social skills as a mediator and delay of gratification as a moderator, and their cognitive distraction strategies and problem behaviors. The participants of this study were 100 randomly selected preschoolers aged 3 to 5 years, who were attending a private preschool in Ankara, the capital of Turkey. Data was obtained through Marshmallow Test to evaluate cognitive distraction strategies with regard to delay of gratification, and the Social Skills Improvement System Rating Scales (SSIR-RS) to assess the preschoolers’ social skills and problem behaviors. The obtained data was analyzed with correlation analysis and mediator variable analysis. The findings revealed that preschoolers’ cognitive distraction strategies, social skills, and problem behaviors are significantly correlated. Besides, as problem behaviors of the preschoolers increased, their use of social skills and cognitive distraction strategies decreased. Furthermore, it was determined that cognitive distraction strategies were a significant predictor of problem behaviors. Finally, it was concluded that social skills had a mediating role in the relationship between preschoolers’ cognitive distraction strategies and their problem behaviors. These findings highlight possible interventions to boost children’s development by enhancing their social skills and cognitive distraction strategies, as well as reducing problem behaviors.

This study aimed to 1) develop a coaching model to promote teachers’ potential to conduct classroom research and 2) evaluate the effectiveness of the coaching model. The research methodology consisted of three phases. In the first phase, the researcher studied the related studies and interviewed various experts about conducting classroom research and coaching. In the second phase, the researcher developed a coaching model and research instruments and asked experts to validate these, and these were then trialed in a pilot study. In the third phase, the researcher investigated the effectiveness of the coaching model for promoting teachers’ potential to conduct classroom research via a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The intervention group in the present study comprised 147 teachers teaching at Islamic Schools in Bangkok, which are private schools operating under the Office of the Private Education Commission, in the 2020 academic year. The experiment lasted for 20 weeks. Two classes were run each week, for 20 weeks, for a total of 40 classes over the study period, and workshops were run before and after the intervention. The data obtained were analyzed by dependent t-test. It was found that the optimum coaching model for promoting teachers’ potential for conducting classroom research comprised three steps: 1) empowerment, 2) co-creation, and 3) enlargement. Further, the teachers’ potential for conducting classroom research was higher after the experiment than before the experiment with statistical significance at 0.50. Most of the research quality was at a good level (X̄ = 77.87; S.D. 1.60).

The purpose of this study is to examine whether individual and team athletes’ mental training levels differ in terms of variables such as age, gender, sports age and being a national team athlete. This study used quantitative research methods, relational survey and descriptive survey models. A total of 700 individual and team athletes, 358 women (ages 22.48±3.20 years) and 342 men (ages 22.36±18-28 3.27 years), participated in the study voluntarily. “The Sport Mental Training Questionnaire (SMTQ)”, adapted into Turkish by Yarayan and Ilhan (2018), and demographic information form were applied as a data collection tool. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and one-way variance analysis ANOVA tests were used in the analysis and interpretation of the obtained data. After the Anova test, Tukey test was performed as a complementary post-hoc analysis to determine the differences. According to the statistical analysis results, the interpersonal skill scores of persons doing team sports were determined to be higher than those doing individual sports. It was revealed that the scores of male athletes’ mental performance and mental basic skills were higher than that of women athletes while women’s interpersonal skills and self-talking points were higher than men. A statistically significant difference was established in the mental training scores of the athletes according to the variables of age, sports age and being a national team athlete (p < 0.05).

A total of 700 individual and team athletes, 358 women (ages 22.48±3.20 years) and 342 men (ages 22.36±18-28 3.27 years), participated in the study voluntarily. “The Sport Mental Training Questionnaire (SMTQ)”, adapted into Turkish by Yarayan and Ilhan (2018), and demographic information form were applied as a data collection tool. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test and one-way variance analysis ANOVA tests were used in the analysis and interpretation of the obtained data. After the Anova test, Tukey test was performed as a complementary post-hoc analysis to determine the differences. According to the statistical analysis results, the interpersonal skill scores of persons doing team sports were determined to be higher than those doing individual sports. It was revealed that the scores of male athletes’ mental performance and mental basic skills were higher than that of women athletes while women’s interpersonal skills and self-talking points were higher than men. A statistically significant difference was established in the mental training scores of the athletes according to the variables of age, sports age and being a national team athlete (p < 0.05).","PeriodicalId":314203,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational Issues","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114993816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
