Descriptive Content Analysis of Scale Development Studies in Preschool Education between 2018-2023 Years in Turkey
Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to identify the situation through content analysis of scale development studies conducted by Turkish researchers in the field of preschool education. Thus, the overall trend of scale development research in preschool education was established. This research is a document analysis study. The documents studied are national and international articles published by Turkish preschool teachers. These articles were content-analyzed. Scale studies conducted between 2018 and 2023, which encompass preschool education, educators, parents, and preschool resources, were searched. In total, 63 article studies were included in this content analysis. For data collection, a data collection form was prepared for content analysis, inspired by the ‘Publication Classification Form’ which was used to conduct a detailed scanning process. According to findings of the research, the scale of development studies (63 %) conducted in pre-school education, largely in 2018, with two authors, was larger than that of adaptation studies. The majority of studies (49%) were published in the Turkish database TR ULAKBİM, with a focus on the social-emotional domain (16%) and science-education (67%). It was found that the descriptive method was preferred as the research method, that children were the majority of the sample (38%), that the sample size was chosen between 201 and 500, and that factor analysis and descriptive analysis were employed as analysis methods
Can We Find a Way to Solve Microplastic Pollution?
Get PDFThe issue of microplastic pollution has escalated in significance and urgency due to the global infiltration of minuscule plastic particles into terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Microplastics are generated through a variety of processes, including the decomposition of larger plastics, industrial operations, and the incorporation of microbeads into personal care items. These substances have been detected in sediments, lakes, rivers, oceans, and even the air we breathe. The detrimental impacts of microplastics on the well-being of wildlife are extensively documented. These particles present hazards to marine organisms such as seabirds, fish, and sea turtles via ingestion or entanglement. Moreover, they might function as vectors through which detrimental substances infiltrate the food chain. To adequately tackle this matter, it is imperative to adopt a multidisciplinary strategy that encompasses policy interventions aimed at restricting plastic production and consumption, advancements in waste management technologies, public awareness initiatives promoting sustainable lifestyles, and ongoing research to comprehensively comprehend the problem's magnitude and ecological repercussions. The assurance of a cleaner environment for future generations is contingent upon our collective efforts to mitigate microplastic pollution.

Do New Gaokao Schemes Increase Students’ Autonomy in Subject Selection: An Empirical Analysis Based on the CatBoost Regression Tree Model
Get PDFIn China, the college entrance examination (also known as Gaokao) is an event of paramount importance to the public. In the context of educational reform, the new Gaokao schemes are undergoing adjustments and improvements. The issue of whether the new Gaokao schemes are effective in supporting autonomous subject selection of students is pending further research. This article is an empirical investigation of the issue based on data from 2022’s “Gaokao reform questionnaire survey” of college students who have gone through the whole process of the high-stakes examination
The Correlation between Dimensions of Sustainability Literacy: The Case of British and Turkish Students
Get PDFThe acquisition of the competencies of sustainability literacy through education requires an understanding of how sustainability literacy is shaped. In this connection, in the current study, the interaction between the following dimensions of sustainability literacy was investigated; SA (sustainability attitude), SB (sustainability behavior) and SK (sustainability knowledge). The study was conducted as a survey study on university students in the UK and Turkey within the context of a project entitled “Ecological Literacy Education” and supported by TUBITAK (Turkish Scientific and Technological Research Organization). The participants (n:1023) of the study are students attending several departments of Plymouth University in the UK and Mugla Sitki Kocman University in Turkey. The data were collected by using the Scale of Sustainability Literacy and analyzed using AMOS version 24. Although it was understood that there were mutual and positive correlations between the dimensions of sustainability literacy, it was revealed that the correlations between some sub-dimensions of these dimensions showed variation. The results of the study are expected to contribute to revealing the interaction between the dimensions of sustainability literacy in more detail and accordingly to the effectiveness of sustainability education
