This need has given rise to the concept of lifelong learning, which emphasizes the ongoing process of learning regardless of age, time, and location. This study aims to investigate the lifelong learning competencies of teachers, who play a crucial role in the learning processes of individuals, considering various variables. \u0000Convenience sampling was used to select 329 teachers, and they were administered the 'Lifelong Learning Competency Scale' developed by Hürsen (2011). The scale comprises sub-dimensions such as 'self-management competencies', 'learning to learn competencies', 'initiative and entrepreneurial competencies', 'knowledge acquisition competencies', 'digital competencies', and 'decision-making competencies'. Data analysis was performed with the JAMOVI program using descriptive statistics, Independent Sample t-Test, ANOVA, Pearson Correlation Analysis, and regression analysis. \u0000The findings of the study indicated that teachers' lifelong learning competencies were at a high level, particularly the 'self-management competencies' sub-dimension, which demonstrated exceptional results. The remaining sub-dimensions also displayed high competency levels. Furthermore, the study concluded that teachers' lifelong learning competencies did not exhibit significant differences based on their gender, marital status, or the type of school they worked in.","PeriodicalId":127236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teacher Education and Lifelong Learning","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125396761","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}

Knowledge of geography directly or indirectly affects people's daily lives by determining the characteristics of settlements, natural resources, climatic conditions, economic activities, natural disasters, or cultures and societies around the world. This research was carried out with 10th grade students who tried to gain geographical knowledge systematically through a geography course. The aim of the research is to reveal how the students' geography knowledge is reflected in their daily lives. A semi-structured interview form created by the researchers was used to collect data in the study that employed phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods. The obtained data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis approach, and results were gathered with regard to the students' level of interest in the geography course, the factors affecting this level of interest, the definition of geography knowledge and the future contribution of geographic knowledge, and the use of this knowledge in daily life. The main conclusion of the study is that one-third of students don’t use geography in their daily lives. In light of this circumstance, it could be advised to design geography topics based on activities, using real-world examples in a practical way.","PeriodicalId":127236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teacher Education and Lifelong Learning","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124570179","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 study groups the research consisted of six pre-service science teachers who were seniors in the science education department at a university in the west of Turkey. The holistic single-case design was used as the research method in this study. One of the topics related to enzymes we encounter in many areas of daily life is the concept of enzymatic browning. In this study, starting from a daily life context, an activity that includes the chemical change emphasis underlying the enzymatic browning event and the factors affecting the work of enzymes is discussed. In this context, the guided inquiry learning approach, in which the hypothetico-deductive reasoning cycle is used in laboratory practices in teacher education, is based on the activity. At the end of the activity, experiment reports, science journals, and concept maps were evaluated. As a result of the evaluation, it was seen that the students not only designed scientific research and tested their hypotheses consistently and accurately but also obtained the subject gains related to enzymes and chemical change. Since it is understood that the activity supports lifelong learning in terms of both the skills developed and the ideas reflected by the pre-service teachers, using similar practices in teacher education can be recommended.","PeriodicalId":127236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teacher Education and Lifelong Learning","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132700728","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 activity aimed to promote collaboration, engagement, and motivation among students from various disciplines. The participants in this activity were 40 undergraduate students enrolled in different teaching programs at a private university. The course followed a timeline approach to teaching HOS, supplemented by weekly research questions and short activities. The specific focus of this activity was to investigate whether Archimedes designed a water clock. Students worked in groups to conduct research on the question and develop a group claim based on the evidence they collected. The course discussions resulting from this activity yielded comprehensive outcomes that contributed to the course's timeline, covering the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages. These discussions touched upon various historical events, including the closing of the Platonic Academy, the birth of the House of Wisdom, cultural and geographical factors in the translation movement, and the concept of pseudepigrapha. Importantly, the study noted that many of these events between antiquity and the Middle Ages were not commonly mentioned in traditional HOS course books. By engaging in this activity, participants were able to zoom into the timeline and uncover fascinating historical events. The research, collaboration, and discussions brought about a sense of excitement among the students. This activity demonstrated that incorporating such an approach can enhance the narrative nature of HOS courses. The success of the activity depends on the time allocated and the content of the course, suggesting that it could be tailored to different contexts and course objectives.","PeriodicalId":127236,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Teacher Education and Lifelong Learning","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133311378","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}
