The present study aimed to investigate the questions included in the 11th grade Philosophy Coursebook prepared in 2018 by the Ministry of Education in Turkey in terms of higher-order thinking skills. Document analysis was utilized in the study, and frequencies and percentages were used in answering the first sub-research question. Cognitive processes domain of Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy was utilized in conducting analyses to answer the second sub-research question. And Moodley’s (2013) categorization supported the analyses to answer the third sub-research question. The results suggested that the distribution of warm-up, practice, discussion, text analysis, writing, and measurement and evaluation questions were organized in a similar systematic across the coursebook. As a result of the research, not only summative but also formative assessment methods were included in the coursebook. Most of the questions were in the understand level of cognitive processes. The book included only a limited number of questions on the ‘apply’, ‘analyze’, and ‘create’ levels included in Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. Most of the questions were designed for the mid-level of the cognitive domain and the low-level questions were the second most frequently used questions. Only 6.1 % of the questions were designed for high-levels of the cognitive domain. Last but not least sample questions for the analyze, evaluate, and create dimensions were prepared in an effort to encourage more frequent uses of such types of questions.

This study aims to understand prospective teachers’ (PTs) preparedness to teach before they actually start working in the profession. In particular, the causal effects of “understanding the learner” and “techno-pedagogical competency” on “forming effective learning environments” by “designing the instructional process” were investigated. Structural equation modeling was carried out to estimate the effects of these variables on effective learning environments. A cross-sectional survey design was used with 314 PTs who were studying in a state university in Turkey in the 2019-2020 spring semester. For the purpose of this study, Preparedness to Teach scale was used to obtain the data after investigating the scale for validity and reliability properties. The results suggested that understanding the learner had both direct and indirect effects on forming effective learning environments. That is, the better PTs could understand the learner, the more appropriately they could design the instructional process and, ultimately, form an effective learning environment. However, techno-pedagogical competency had only indirect impacts on forming an effective learning environment. This finding suggests that the higher-competency PTs had in techno-pedagogy, the more effectively they could establish a learning environment by properly designing the instructional process.

The study was intended to examine the extent to which soft skill development varied among the university students by gender via their participation in co-curricular activities (CCAs). Moreover, the study aimed to find out whether there was a significant difference between male and female students concerning soft skill development. The study has shown that males have developed diverse personal skills and social skills, that is, soft skills more than females excepting one which is presentation skill. The study has pointed out that soft skill development significantly varies among the students by gender excepting presentation skill development. The study has proposed that the significant difference between male and female students regarding soft skill development may be attributed to their difference in participating in various CCAs. Since the males are more likely to participate in CCAs, they are more likely to develop diverse soft skills than the females. The study has indicated that Muslim female students face several personal and social barriers including lack of confidence, conservative family values, and people’s negative attitudes to participate in CCAs, which requires proper policy to address.

This study aims to develop the Internet Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale (ILSEF) that can be used to examine pre-service teachers’ beliefs in their capabilities to perform recent web functionalities. The data was collected from eight different departments and all grade levels of the faculty of education at a state university in Turkey. Two different samples were used to develop and validate the instrument. The first and second samples consisted of 174 and 150 pre-service teachers, respectively. In an effort to explore the factorial structure, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were run. Construct validity was also checked by convergent and discriminant validity. A four-factor structure with 16 items was obtained: trustworthiness, creation, technical knowledge, and getting information. This structure accounted for 65.40% of the total variance. The reliability Cronbach alpha coefficients of the scale were calculated as ranging from .90 to .71. The results provided some evidence that the scores obtained from the Internet Literacy Self-Efficacy Scale are valid and reliable in assessing pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs in terms of the Internet use knowledge and skills.

This study has attempted to investigate the predictability of university students’ personality traits, cultural values, stress coping strategies, negative automatic thoughts and gender on their professional/formal psychological help seeking attitudes. This research has been carried on with the participation of a total of 1284 university students. Predictive correlational method was used. To collect data, valid and reliable measurements were conducted. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis has been used to evaluate the data. As predictors of the psychological help seeking attitude, conscientious and agreeable students have more positive attitudes, but negative-valent and open ones have more negative attitudes. Students who use seeking social support and avoidance stress coping strategies have more positive attitudes, but who use keep-to-self have more negative attitudes. Collectivist and female participants’ help seeking attitudes are more positive. With these variables, 14% of the attitude of seeking psychological help is explained. The findings of the study were associated to Theory of Planned Behavior and discussed in the light of literature.

This study examined (a) the availability of basic science materials in children’s home environment, (b) the frequency of parents’ involvement in informal science activities with their children, (c) the level of opportunities parents offered their children for learning basic science subjects, and (d) the effect of grade level on parental support for children’s science learning. In this cross-sectional survey study, data were collected from 735 parents in a city in the north region of Turkey. Results revealed that most children did not have basic science materials at home. Parental support for making science trips was especially low. The parents supported their children’s learning most in the area of health, security, and nutrition. The MANOVA results indicated that the parents of middle school children supported their children significantly less to do science and nature activities compared to the parents of preschool and elementary school children. The middle school children were also less likely to be supported by their parents to learn science subjects related to matter, energy, and livings compared to preschool children. The parents of preschool children offered more opportunities for their children to learn science subjects related to sky compared to the parents of elementary and middle school children.

Bu acigi kapatmak icin calismada, besinci sinif fen bilimleri dersi Canlilar Dunyasi unitesinde yapi ve fonksiyon iliskisine dayanan butunlestirilmis biyomimikri STEM etkinligi gelistirmek amaclanmistir. Bu calisma, 21 besinci sinif ogrencisinin insanliga ait bir problemi cozmek icin organizmalara ait bir yapiyi taklit ederek muhendislik tasarim sureci ile ilgili deneyimlerini aktaran bir durum calismasidir. Calismanin carpici bir sonucu ise, ogrencilerin organizmalardaki yapi ve fonksiyon arasindaki tamamlayici iliski yoluyla biyomimikriyi tasarim cozumlerine dahil etmeyi basarabilmeleridir.
