In this study, \"attitude scale towards technology\", \"attitude scale towards e-assessment and \"demographic information form\" were used to collect data. The results of the analysis showed that the relationship between the attitude towards e-assessment dependent variable and the independent variables of gender and continuous access to the internet was positive and direct. In addition, it was found that the relationship between the attitude towards technology and gender, the frequency of using technology and the frequency of using distance education was positive and directly related. It was observed that the independent variables of gender, grade level, frequency of distance education use, frequency of internet use positively affected the dependent variables of e-assessment and attitude towards technology. Accordingly, it can be said that these factors should be keep in mind in e-assessment and technology use.","PeriodicalId":275671,"journal":{"name":"International Online Journal of Primary Education","volume":"138 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139165742","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 data was collected from 129 primary school teachers from Demirci District of Manisa Province in 2022 – 2023 Education year. While collecting the data two scales were used which are named as “Classroom Management Concerns Scale” and “Classroom Management Competency Scale” and whole population has been reached without getting sampling. The obtained data has been analyzed with the help of SPSS 23 packet program. While the analyzing processes the descriptive statistics have been examined with the arithmetic mean, minimum, maximum and standard deviation values. As the data has been showed normal distribution, the significant differences about their genders and graduation divisions have been analyzed with independent sample t-Test and the significant differences about their professional seniorities and their grade levels of teaching have been analyzed with One Way ANOVA. The way of meaningful differences has been found with arithmetical means in independent sample t-Test and with the Scheffe Post – Hoc Test in One Way Anova Analysis. The relation between classroom management and competencies of primary school teachers has been analyzed with the help of Pearson Correlation Coefficient Interval. According to the sub problems; no significant differences have been seen in their genders. In their professional seniority significant differences have been found in the relationship management, management of instruction, time management dimensions and in their total points of classroom management competencies. Same as in relationship management the significant difference has been found according to their graduation divisions. Their grade levels of teaching have also showed significant difference in relationship management dimension. For the last sub problem statement, negative low correlation has been found between the communication concerns dimension and the behavior management dimension. Finally, the findings obtained in this study were interpreted and suggestions were made for the field and practice.","PeriodicalId":275671,"journal":{"name":"International Online Journal of Primary Education","volume":"89 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139164027","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 didactical design research, with 2 research subjects, namely 20 students in grade 5 for learning obstacles as the basis for making didactic designs, and 50 students in grade 4 to determine the impact of implementing didactic designs. Data collection techniques used are tests, interviews, and observation. The data analysis technique uses a qualitative method to see learning obstacles in students and a quantitative method (descriptive and inferential statistics) to determine the impact of didactic design implementation. Based on the results of the Mann-Whitney test that the sig. is 0.000, meaning that there is a difference in students' mean scores on the concept of fractions before and after the implementation of the didactic design, this indicates that there is a positive influence on students getting the implementation of the didactic design using the engklek game on the concept of fractions in elementary schools.

According to the findings, real-life problem preferences of the teacher candidates are generally about numbers and operations learning domain at the seventh-grade level. Preservice teachers' aim while creating story problems is to show students how to use them in real-life and to create awareness. The preservice teachers mostly paid attention to the suitability of the student and grade level while creating problems. While preservice teachers' real-life associations were predominantly in the form of examining accurate data, only one study met the evaluation criteria. Most preservice teachers thought that the story problems could be associated with real-life situations. Consequently, it was determined that the preservice teachers found the reflection of real-life situations in the story problems useful for students, and the mathematics subjects can be associated with real-life situations.","PeriodicalId":275671,"journal":{"name":"International Online Journal of Primary Education","volume":"12 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":"126860612","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 purpose of this study was to contribute to pre-service primary school teachers’ TPACK. For this purpose, the content was selected as listening, the most ignored skill taught in language education. In a qualitative framework, a case study approach was utilized. Eight pre-service primary teachers were selected with convenience sampling from a public university in Turkey. For eight weeks, the pre-service teachers learned block-based visual programming and designed visual and audio listening texts in pairs. Their projects were undertaken with fourth grade students, and they observed the students’ interactions with these projects. Upon the completion of this process, a semi-structured interview form, prepared by the researchers, was used to gather the pre-service teachers’ views. Results showed that they increased their technological pedagogical content knowledge in the TPACK framework.

The analyses of the study involved the use of correlation and structural equation modeling. The results of the structural equation modeling revealed that academic procrastination partially mediated the relationship between academic self-efficacy and well-being. The bootstrapping procedure also confirmed that the indirect effect of academic self-efficacy on well-being through academic procrastination was significant. Specifically, the data showed that higher levels of academic self-efficacy were associated with greater well-being, while higher levels of academic procrastination were associated with lower well-being. These findings add to the current understanding of the complex interplay between academic self-efficacy, procrastination, and well-being and may have important implications for interventions aimed at promoting academic success and well-being among students.
