ONLINE INSTRUCTOR ROLES AND COMPETENCIES: VOICES OF EFL INSTRUCTORS
Full text linkThis study sets out to explore how do online EFL (English as a Foreign Language) instructors perceive their roles and competencies. With this aim, qualitative data were gathered through semi-structured interviews from eight online instructors who teach Basic English Course at a state university in Turkey. Data were analyzed through content analysis with the help of Nvivo software. As a result of the study, five roles and 28 competencies were articulated by the EFL instructors as crucial. Nevertheless, instructors asserted that they cannot perform most of these roles and competencies in their online classes because of the challenges such as poorness of the online platform, interaction problems, lack of student participation, inadequacy of online material support, poorness of technical and technological infrastructure, overcrowded classes, insufficiency of in-service teacher training, and lack of knowledge on online material development, ICT (Information and Communications Technology) skills, integrating technology into teaching, and copyright issues. For a more effective online teaching environment, instructors emphasized the need for a sound technical infrastructure, electronic course content support along with hands-on and continuous professional development training. This study uncovers important implications of the instructional, quality-related and managerial dimensions of online education to be taken into consideration by higher education to create a successful online language teaching and learning environment.

INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN AUTISM SYMPTOMS IN CHILDREN WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER AND BROAD AUTISM PHENOTYPE AND ALEXITHYMIC CHARACTERISTICS IN THEIR PARENTS
Full text linkThe study aims to examine autism-like symptoms in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, as well as to evaluate the broad autism phenotype characteristics and alexithymia levels of their parents and to compare these results with the results of control groups and their parents. Several hypotheses were put forward: (1) children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder will exhibit higher levels of autism characteristics compared to children in the typically developing group, (2) parents of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder will have higher levels of the broad autism phenotype characteristics compared to typically developing group parents, (3) they will have higher levels of alexithymia, (4) positive correlations will be observed between children's autistic characteristics and parents' the broad autism phenotype characteristics and alexithymia levels. The research findings underline that autistic traits are increased in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, highlighting a notable intersection between these two neurodevelopmental conditions. Moreover, the study elucidates broad autism phenotype in parents of children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, implying a potential shared genetic susceptibility or familial vulnerability between the disorders. The emergence of high alexithymic levels in parents of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder-affected children raises interesting questions regarding emotional processing and regulation in familial contexts. Study findings were discussed and suggestions for future research were provided
A REVIEW OF GLOBAL STUDIES PERFORMED WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM MODEL
Full text linkThis research aims to provide information about the flipped classroom model, that is brought to the literature in terms of distance education and innovative approaches and which has taken place in learning and teaching environments and around the world during the COVID 19 Pandemic process. In addition, the aim is to guide researchers and educators by revealing the negative and positive of this model with the relevant studies in the literature. In the current study, scientific studies about flipped classroom were examined by scanning the literature. The literatur review is carried out in traditional kind of this method, by compiling the literature.
The use of innovative approaches in the globalizing world is important for all countries to follow each other and progress at the same level. With the development of technology and its transfer to educational environments, the flipped classroom, that is a most up-to-date approach examples in today's world, the theoretical part, that is, according to Bloom's Taxonomy, which should be taught in the lesson, is transformed into an individual acquisition out of the classroom for the learner, and active in the time he spends with his friends and teacher in the classroom. Through this way, learning activities and high-level learning can be carried out.
Thus, the content of the lecture before and during the class time can be differentiated and varied by the educator. These facts can contribute to the differentiating the education process according to the learners individual differences. In this context, in this study, more comprehensive general information about the flipped classroom was brought out, the weak and strong sides of this model were emphasized, the ways of enriching and differentiating the curriculum with such models were emphasized, and suggestions were made to researchers and educators.
