Scaling of Secondary School Students' Evaluation Preferences According to Learning Approaches
The aim of this study is to determine the evaluation preferences of secondary school students adopting deep and superficial learning approach by using pairwise comparison method. The study was carried out with 444 students chosen from 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students in four different types of secondary education in Mersin. The case V and case III models of the scaling method based on Thurstone's (1927) Law of Comparative Judgment, which can be applied in cases where the items can be given to participants in pairs, are used to answer the research questions. As a result of the research, it was determined that students adopting both deep and superficial learning approaches prefer the questions measuring the skills at remembering level with higher chance success such as matching, true or false and multiple choice in the first place, performance tasks and long answer questions in the last place while determining their academic success. When this result was examined according to the overall and grade levels of secondary students, it was observed that it did not change except for minor differences
The Reciprocal Longitudinal Relationship between Career Maturity and Goal Consciousness in Korean Adolescents
The purpose of this study was to verify the reciprocal longitudinal relationship between career maturity and goal consciousness in Korean adolescents. To achieve this purpose, the longitudinal data of students who were sixth graders in 2012, ninth graders in 2015, and twelfth graders in 2018 were analyzed using an autoregressive cross-lagged model. The results of the analysis are as follows: First, previous career maturity and goal consciousness in adolescents have a continuing effect on subsequent career maturity and goal consciousness. Second, the career maturity significantly influenced the goal consciousness of later adolescents. Third, the goal consciousness significantly influenced subsequent career maturity. This study confirmed the mutual longitudinal effects of the autoregressive cross-lagged model among adolescent career maturity goal consciousness. The results of this study confirmed that career maturity and goal consciousness have a reciprocal longitudinal relationship. These results suggest that career education is needed from the early stage of adolescence
Trans-Professionalism as a Predictor of Adaptation of a Person to Digital Professional Future
In the modern world, which follows the path of digitalization, there is a demand for professionals who are capable and ready to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions of the socio-professional environment - transprofessionals. The purpose of the research: to study the educability of teachers as a key construct of transprofessionalism and to describe the psychological peculiarities of trans-professional competence “capable and motivated to continue learning throughout life, to independently master new professional knowledge and skills” as a predictor of personality adaptation to a digital professional future on the example of preschool teachers. Research methods: theoretical analysis of scientific sources (generalization, analysis, synthesis, classification), empirical method (interrogative), methods of mathematical data processing (descriptive analysis, Kruskal-Wallis H-test), interpretation methods. Statistically significant differences were found among teachers of preschool education with different ages in standards of the expression of general reflexivity (at the trend standard), self-esteem and performance, and depending on the length of service - in standard of introjected motivation. The obtained data demonstrate a sufficient standard of expression of indicators of the cognitive-mnemonic component among teachers of the preschool education system, while differences in the expression of particular elements of the organizational, motivational and volitional components of learning are revealed. This article is the first in a series of researches devoted to solving the scientific problem of determining the structure and evaluation of trans-professional competencies. The materials may be useful for workers of the socionomic sphere in relation to forecasting and adaptation workers to a digital professional future
Unpacking Middle School Mathematics Teachers’ Knowledge in Instruction Utilizing Students’ Strategies in Planning
The examination of teacher knowledge in practice can shed light to understand how students learn and find out why they have difficulty in learning. This paper will focus on teachers' knowledge of pattern generalization in instruction with planning. The multiple-case study design was used for this study to compare and contrast the two middle school teachers’ lesson planning and instruction. Lesson plans, pre-observation interviews, observations, and post-observation interviews were used as data collection tools. Data were analyzed by using the Mathematical Knowledge for Teaching (MKT) model. The findings showed that the two teachers used numerical reasoning in all representations and they could not have the knowledge of figural reasoning. The teachers' inadequate explanations of functional thinking caused some misunderstandings about generalization. Through the cases of these two teachers, it was observed that teachers need to have a good conceptual mathematical understanding and also knowledge of students’ thinking in order to design effective lessons
The effect of response-to-intervention model on developing acquisition of letter naming knowledge and spelling knowledge among kindergarten children identified as at risk for the acquisition of beginning reading
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of response-to-intervention model on developing acquisition of letter naming knowledge and spelling knowledge among kindergarten children identified as at risk for the acquisition of beginning reading. Thirty- six kindergarten children identified as at risk for the acquisition of beginning reading participated in this study. Children were administered a pre- reading skills test ( developed by Mourad Ali, 2014 to screen for children who are at risk for the acquisition of beginning reading) . Children who had low achievement scores on the test (( at least 1.5 standard deviations [SD] below the population mean) were included. Letter Naming Knowledge Test and Spelling Knowledge Test were employed. In order to analyze the data from the pre- and post-test, the author used ,making use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) V22.0. ANCOVA analysis and t-test results indicated the effectiveness of response-to-intervention model on developing acquisition of letter naming knowledge and spelling knowledge among kindergarten children identified as at risk for the acquisition of beginning reading
A School-Based Adjustment Program Based on Ecological Approach for Immigrant Students in Primary Schools Living in Turkey
In this study, it is aimed to present a framework for a school-based adjustment program for immigrant students living in Turkey and at primary school level. Adjustment to school is one of the priority needs of immigrant students. School adjustment is a structure that involves many dimensions and is influenced by many factors. Therefore, in the draft program proposed in the study, Ecological System Approach was taken as the basis for effectively addressing the multidimensional structure of school adaptation. As the draft program is based on the ecological system approach, the program aims to provide students, teachers, parents and community (local government, civil society, etc.). In this program, activities related to ecological system approach are planned for organism, microsystem, mesosystem and exosystem steps. It is aimed to increase the adjustment of immigrant students to the school with the program presented in the framework and thus to increase their social harmony and to be healthy and productive individuals in the future by meeting their developmental needs. It is also considered that the program proposal meets a significant need for teachers, parents, and school administrators, especially for immigrant students
Development of Analytical Thinking Tendency Scale: Validity and Reliability Study
This study aims to develop a analytical thinking tendency scale for university students. In this direction, a draft scale, consisting of 50 items, was applied to 574 university students. The obtained data were subjected to reliability tests, explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA-CFA). The factor analysis showed that the scale is composed of 2 factors. The percentage of variance explained by the factors was calculated as 43%. The fit indexes of the model obtained via CFA showed that the fit indexes of the two-factor structure are sufficient. Considering the reliability coefficients and AVE values calculated within the scope of the research, it can be said that the measurement results are reliable, and the divergent validity of the measurement results is provided. As a result of analyzes, a 5-score Likert type analytical thinking tendency scale consisting of 19-items was developed. According to the findings, it is determined that the analytical thinking tendency scale is a valid and a reliable assessment tool
