The data was collected from 4th grade students in the 2022-2023 academic year using the typical case sampling method. “STEAM Attitude Scale”, “Critical Thinking Disposition Scale” and “Decision-Making Skill Scale” were utilized. The mediation model was estimated using the whole sample, followed by multigroup analyses that employed gender as the moderation variable. The results indicated that primary school students' attitudes towards STEAM, their critical thinking dispositions, and their decision-making skills were at a high level. The mediation analysis revealed that attitudes towards STEAM had direct effect on decision-making skills, and critical thinking disposition was found to be partially mediating this association. Multigroup analyses provided evidence for the significant moderating role of gender pertaining to the specified associations in the model. The findings provide insights into the importance of developing positive attitudes towards STEAM disciplines regarding their evidential effect on critical thinking disposition and informed decision-making skills in primary schools and the necessity of attending to the role of gender in future educational interventions.","PeriodicalId":171092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117043262","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 healthiness of both the university and professional processes of teacher candidates and the positive completion of their individual, social, and academic developments depend on good communication. Creative drama is a method that can be used for individuals to get to know themselves and their environment, to develop their social relations, and to experience them by doing and living together in a group. In the light of this information, the aim of the research is to determine the effect of creative drama on the speaking anxiety of teacher candidates. The participants of the study consisted of 21 teacher candidates studying in the undergraduate program of Turkish teaching, classroom teaching, and preschool teaching. In this research, mixed research method, and sequential explanatory design were used as a design. Quantitative data of the study were collected through the Speech Anxiety Scale (2012), and qualitative data were collected through interviews. The quantitative data of the research were analyzed statistically, and the qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis. When the quantitative and qualitative results of the study were examined, it was observed that the interest and love of the pre-service teachers who participated in the study increased, and their anxiety and worries decreased.","PeriodicalId":171092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126868271","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 used data from a survey for teachers, teacher candidates, and teacher education program faculty with a sample of 296 candidates, 648 graduates, and 501 program personnel. Survey items based on these competencies asked teacher candidates, graduates, and teacher education program faculty in one Western state how well the program attended prepared candidates for the teaching profession. The 40 items common to surveys of the three groups were submitted to mixture Rasch analysis to determine whether distinct patterns of item response were discernible. Analyses yielded two classes which brings the construct validity of the survey into question. Results showed that the Mixture Rasch Model is and can be useful to determine sub-groups for survey researchers. This research presents a demonstration of usefulness of the Mixture Rasch Model for the analysis of survey data.","PeriodicalId":171092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128212490","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 used the information from 5713 students, 2838 (49.7%) male and 2875 (50.3%) female in the PISA 2018 Turkey. The analysis shows the MARS method performed better than the Random Forest method. The most significant factor affecting reading skills in Turkey is “the number of books in the house” in both methods. The variables the MARS method finds significant are “students' perception of difficulty, motivation for reading skills, father’s educational status, reading pleasure, bullying experience of the student, mother's educational status, attitude towards school, classical artifacts at home, supplementary school books at home, competition at school, competitive power, cooperation perception at school, reading frequency, self-efficacy, poetry books at home, anxiety about reading skills and teacher support.” However, the other variables had no relation to prediction.

The study group consists of individuals whom both enrolled in graduate education programs of a state university and taught actively at K-12 institutions. Study is conducted with phenomenological design. Miles Huberman model was used in the analysis of the data. The problems faced by the participants in the distance education process, in which they took part both as teachers and students, were grouped under “instructor dimension, student dimension, family dimension, infrastructure, hardware and physical environment dimension, social interaction dimension and process dimension”. The views of the participants on the assessment and evaluation processes in distance education as students were grouped under “measured learning outcomes, assessment and evaluation tools, assessment and evaluation system, other factors that affect evaluation, negative situations and positive situations”. When the views on assessment and evaluation processes in distance education are examined from the perspective of the teacher, same sub-themes with the exception of positive situations occurred. Views on e-teacher qualifications were grouped under “technical knowledge, knowledge of instructional design, social skills, knowledge of pedagogical content, management skills and knowledge of assessment and evaluation”.","PeriodicalId":171092,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127898146","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}
