The motivational factors affecting the preference of teaching profession in Turkey
No full textThe purpose of this study was to reveal the reasons why teacher candidates attending the faculties of education have preferred the teaching profession and the explanatory relations between those reasons. To this end, 801 students who are attending the elementary school teaching departments of 6 state universities were included in the research. Mercenary, altruistic, intrinsic, and extrinsic reasons that are effective with preferring the teaching profession are the latent variables of the research. The model developed to verify the relationships between those variables was tested. According to the findings, the intrinsic and altruistic latent variables have a highly positive relationship. The extrinsic variable has a negatively significant relationship with the intrinsic and altruistic variables, while a positively significant relationship with the mercenary variable. The mercenary latent variable has a positively significant relationship with all other variables
The investigation of pre-service science teachers’ self-efficacy toward technological pedagogical content knowledge
No full textTechnological developments in the international arena have affected many countries’ education systems, as well as being in many areas. As a result of the integration in the education of technological developments, it has caused the change of the professions in the field of education and training, especially in the institutions that educate teachers. The purpose of this study was to investigate pre-service science teachers’ self-efficacy toward technological pedagogical content (TPACK) throughout one academic term. The research was carried out with a total of 41 pre-service science teachers from Duzce University in 2016-2017 fall academic years. The study employed an experimental method, namely the pre-test / post-test pattern used with a single group. The data were collected by using the “Technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) self-efficacy scale for pre-service science teachers on material development” developed by Balçın and Ergün (2016). The collected data was analyzed using paired-samples t-test. Also, data are evaluated on 0.05 level relevance and its percentage, frequency, average and standard deviation levels are calculated. When 41 pre-service science teachers’ self-efficacy level toward TPACK was evaluated, it was found that their level increased at the end of fall semester (when compared to the beginning of that semester). According to the findings obtained in the research, gender did not affect the TPACK self-efficacy for pre-service science teachers on material development

Examining the Effects of Negotiation and Peer Mediation on Students' Conflict Resolution and Problem-Solving Skills
No full textWOS: 000473529000044Research shows that conflicts in schools cannot be resolved by constructive and peaceful means and teachers cannot support students sufficiently. To solve this problem, the Negotiation and Peer Mediation Training Program was experimented on the fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students in this study aiming to examine the effects of the Negotiation and Peer Mediation Training Program on conflict resolution and problem-solving skills. The study was conducted on 44 students attending the "Children's University" summer school. The research was carried out in the pretest-posttest design without control group. The training program consisting of 18 activities was implemented. The students were subjected to "Conflict Resolution Skills Scale" and "Problem Solving Inventory for Children" before and after the program. The pretest and posttest scores of both instruments total tests and subscales were analyzed with dependent samples t-test. It was observed that the training program was not effective on problem solving but reduced "obliging" and "avoiding" behaviors. Results achieved in the other subscales of the Conflict Resolution Skills Scale were not coherent with the literature. Based on the research results, it can be argued that the Negotiation and Peer Mediation Training mitigated the avoiding and obliging behaviors which do not serve a peaceful resolution.Duzce University Coordination of Scientific Research ProjectsDuzce University [2013.10.02.172]This study was conducted within the scope of the project named "Evaluating the Effects of Differentiated Science, Reading and Peer Mediation Teaching" with the number 2013.10.02.172 which is supported by Duzce University Coordination of Scientific Research Projects.

Analysis of transformation capabilities between communication types of cloud application components
No full textThe components of a cloud application and their relationships can be defined and modelled by standards such as the Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications (TOSCA) language to minimise the deployment, management, and portability efforts. However, changing internal or external conditions leads to updates for the model. Sometimes the components running on the same host may split into different hosts. Recent studies on splitting the components into several hosts focus on the matching capabilities with available hosting offerings in the new environment, yet the required changes regarding the communication are not considered. After splitting topologies, the new environment may not support the previously established communication. In this case, the communication between the components must be updated and transformed. The splitting process should be aborted if a transformation is not possible. In this thesis, transformation capabilities between communication types of cloud application components are analysed. The communication protocols are first categorised according to characteristics. Next, the possibility of the transformation between those communication types and the challenges and limitations are researched. Finally, a prototype that detects whether the transformation is needed when the environment changes and offers decision support for redistributing the components is implemented

Bu çalışmanın, akıllı liman üzerine araştırmacılara yeni ufuklar açacağı düşünülmektedir
The correlation between renewable energy knowledge and attitude. a structural equation model with future's educators
No full textIt is important to create positive attitudes and enough knowledge for preservice science teachers about renewable energy for future. The aim of this research was to show the correlation between renewable energy knowledge and subdimensions of attitude towards renewable energy with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The research was conducted by the analysis of 1145 pre-service teachers' answers to questionnaires data using SEM. Two questionnaires used for data collection which first was renewable energy knowledge scale that Cronbach's alpha was .82 and the second was renewable energy attitude scale that Cronbach's alpha was .87. Initially, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's tests were done with SPSS to test appropriateness of subdimensions to factor analysis. Exploratory factor analysis was done for the subdimensions that were seen to be suitable for factor analysis and then structural model was tested with LISREL. At the end of the SEM test, it was found that there are positive relations between renewable energy knowledge of preservice teachers and their attitudes towards renewable energy. The more knowledge and attitudes about renewable energy can be improved, the more positive attitudes and behaviors will be provided to individuals and the efficient use of renewable energy types will be realized.Duzce University 2018.10.07.85
Does science literacy affect self-efficacy in science teaching? An analysis with structural equation modelling
No full textIt is well known that, for all civilizations' good and successful future, science and people with scientific skills have a key role. So, at the center of scientific skills, teaching science is an important topic. Maybe two of important components of science teaching are scientific literacy and self-efficacy. So, it has to be known if there is a correlation between them. The main aim of the study is to research correlation between self-efficacy beliefs towards science teaching and the level for science literacy of primary school teachers. For this aim data were collected with two instruments (basic science literacy test and the self-efficacy belief in science teaching scale) and gained data was analyzed with SEM (structural equation modelling). The sample of the study consist 506 primary school teachers. After data collection the theoretical model was tested that does science literacy affect or not the self-efficacy in science teaching with SEM. After data analysis it was found that the self-efficacy belief in science teaching affected positively and significantly by the science literacy levels. Considering that teachers with high self-efficacy in teaching science have more successful outcomes, it is believed that it would be beneficial to organize in-service training in which teachers can make a deep sense of their self-efficacy beliefs, literacy concepts and make self-evaluations
