{"title":"Exploring Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy Scale","authors":"Gonca Aktay, Ayşe ÇİÇEK KORKMAZ","doi":"10.52134/ueader.1270141","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52134/ueader.1270141","url":null,"abstract":"Nursing students’ academic self-efficacy can be considered a significant factor in reducing their academic failure, which necessitates a valid measurement tool to reveal academic self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students. In this sense, we carried out this study to adapt the Academic Nurse Self-Efficacy Scale (ANSES) into the Turkish context. The sample of this methodological study consisted of 235 undergraduate nursing students enrolled in a state university in the Marmara Region. We collected the data using a descriptive information form and the Turkish version of the ANSES. Following the translation-back-translation of the scale, we submitted the items to the views of 20 experts and calculated content validity ratios to be 0.80 and above for each item. After analyzing the data descriptively, we attempted to test the construct validity of the scale using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and sought test-retest reliability with Peason’s correlation analysis and internal consistency by calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. According to the findings, the measurement model yielded an acceptable model-data fit. In addition, we found our measurement with the Turkish version of the ANSES showed high internal consistency (0.82). While item-total correlations varied between 0.32 and 0.74, test-retest reliability was found to be 0.81. Overall, we can propose that the Turkish version of the ANSES can validly and reliably be utilized to measure academic self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students. Thus, we can recommend using the scale, brought in the Turkish literature on nursing, to reveal the self-efficacy of undergraduate nursing students and identify to what extent they have accomplished their learning goals.","PeriodicalId":117272,"journal":{"name":"Uluslararası Eğitim Araştırmacıları Dergisi","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130435204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of medical students and also to see their perspectives about the pandemic. This study is designed as a qualitative study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 medical students on an online platform in February 2022, at the end of the third peak period. A semi-structured question guide used as a data collection tool. First, questions about individual characteristics then open-ended questions about their COVID-19 pandemic perception and its impact on their lives were asked. The thematic analysis method was used and \"Life in the pandemic\" were grouped into two main themes: 1.Perception of the Pandemic and Consequent Impact on Life and 2. Pandemic Period and Its Impact on Life. The median age was 22. Half of the participants have been diagnosed with COVID-19. All of the participants were vaccinated. In this study it has been observed that the majority of the medical students have perceived the COVID-19 pandemic as a difficult period and also as a new, uncertain and adverse situation. Another adverse effect perceived by the majority was restriction of social life. Fear and anxiety were most commonly used to express their mood during the pandemic. During the pandemic students individual, mental and social lives are highly affected. While negative effects are generally seen during the social isolation process, this situation has eased with the normalisation of the process.","PeriodicalId":117272,"journal":{"name":"Uluslararası Eğitim Araştırmacıları Dergisi","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116667487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the first step, a meta-thematic analyzes of the qualitative studies were carried out on behalf of the effectiveness of coding-based applications and results regarding the relationship and effectiveness of coding-based practices with retention were reached. 10 studies on the effectiveness and retention of coding-based practices were attained through the scanning databases regarding document review. According to the results from meta-analysis, effect size (g=1.48 – huge) of coding-based applications had a significant difference in favor related practices. In addition, it has been determined that coding-based applications are effective teaching methods when studies based on participants’ opinions in line with the themes and codes were examined within the framework of meta-thematic analysis. The results of the research revealed that meta-analysis and meta-thematic analysis findings are compatible with each other and that coding-based practices contribute to easy, effective and enjoyable learning, positively influence students’ cognitive development processes, improve their skills, and affect them to come up with new products. Additionally, it has been concluded that the proper usage of the related applications can increase retention. It has been observed that coding-based applications contribute to analytical and multi-dimensional thinking, possess problem-solving property, are easy to reinforce, and provide retention.","PeriodicalId":117272,"journal":{"name":"Uluslararası Eğitim Araştırmacıları Dergisi","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125557839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The interventions used by the teacher during the implementation of the tasks are the mirror of their pedagogical knowledge. For this reason, teacher interventions, which have a decisive effect on defining the teacher's role in teaching mathematical modeling, are a crucial issue to investigate. This study examines the types of interventions used by a middle school mathematics teacher who completed professional development in mathematical modeling. The data was collected in an eighth-grade classroom consisting of twenty students. The mathematical modeling task, called Intersection Arrangement, was implemented for 2 hours, and both video and audio recordings were used to collect data. All recordings were transcribed and analyzed using the content analysis method, supported by observer notes and student worksheets. The results revealed that the teacher mostly had effective environmental and classroom interaction interventions. The teacher avoided having content-oriented or strategic interventions or did not intervene during the modeling process. These intervention types might be because of the teacher's unwillingness to affect the modeling process. On the other hand, the fact that the teacher was more active in the presentation and evaluation stage supports his hesitations and difficulties about where and how to intervene in the modeling process. The relevant literature and the results of this research show that teachers must have unique pedagogical knowledge in teaching mathematical modeling.","PeriodicalId":117272,"journal":{"name":"Uluslararası Eğitim Araştırmacıları Dergisi","volume":"9 21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124682767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transcriptions were later analyzed inductively to discover patterns in the data. The results indicated that dialogic talk was found comprehensible by all participating students without any exception. The authoritative talk, on the other hand, was found incomprehensible. According to the students, the dialogic talk is easy to understand because it is written in a step-by-step fashion, comprises daily life words or recognizable with ease, is about a hands-on activity, and is student inclusive. They, further, indicated that the authoritative talk was incomprehensible because it involves technical terms, is superficially written, does not involve experimentation, and does not encourage students to take part.","PeriodicalId":117272,"journal":{"name":"Uluslararası Eğitim Araştırmacıları Dergisi","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128056863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the project, it is aimed to carry out nature-themed activities, workshops and laboratory studies, to include knowledge and skills to be gained through new and different learning approaches, to raise awareness about mathematics in students by making them realize the relationship between different disciplines and mathematics, and to contribute to the development of students' individual creativity. In addition, it is among our aims to provide a positive change in the perspectives towards science, to provide students with a critical-artistic-inquiring perspective, to contribute to the bodily-kinesthetic development of the students, and to discover the mathematics hidden in nature and other branches of science. In addition, in this project it is aimed that the participants are actively involved in individual and group work, that their sense of curiosity is activated and that they learn by doing and experiencing. The target group of the project is 7th and 8th grade students studying in public schools in the 2020-2021 academic year. In the project, \"Mathematics Attitude Scale\", \"Mathematics Anxiety Scale\", \"Affiliation to Nature Scale\" and \"Activity Studies Evaluation Scale\" were applied to the students. In addition, in the light of the findings, it has been seen that students' learning mathematical elements intertwined with nature, by doing and experiencing, contributes to their internalization of the knowledge of mathematics and making mathematics a part of their lives. In the light of the project findings, it was observed that the participants' anxiety towards mathematics decreased, their commitment to nature and their attitudes towards mathematics changed positively. In line with the results obtained from the research, it is thought that the integration of the existing education system into the activities that the students will perform in nature by doing and living will make positive contributions to education.","PeriodicalId":117272,"journal":{"name":"Uluslararası Eğitim Araştırmacıları Dergisi","volume":"38 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132835663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
