Therefore, there is a need for teachers who can support students' perceptions of social justice. This study aims to examine the predictive power of CT disposition and SP responsibility on social justice attitudes in prospective social studies teachers. 341 prospective social studies teachers from universities in various cities of Turkey participated in the study. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed that CT disposition predicted social justice, while SP responsibility did not have a significant effect. The study's results underline the importance of increasing CT disposition to increase prospective teachers' social justice attitudes. It is necessary to include CT disposition development in studies on social justice.","PeriodicalId":315640,"journal":{"name":"The Universal Academic Research Journal","volume":"43 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138595335","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}

Subjective well-being involves cognitive and emotional evaluation of life. These evaluations may vary from one area of life to another and may have positive or negative effects on happiness. For this reason, numerous studies have focused on the relationship between subjective well-being and various aspects of life domains including friendship, romantic relationships, and academic achievement. However, it is noteworthy that the extent and priority of how the dynamics of various life domains collectively contribute to individuals' subjective well-being have not yet to been sufficiently clarified. From this point of view, the present study aimed to investigate the predictive role of the subcomponents of university students' interpersonal sensitivity, academic self-perception and attachment-based experiences in close relationship in their subjective well-being and to determine the priority status of these factors. The participants of the study consisted of 410 (235 female, 175 male) university students between the ages of 18-25. As a result of the correlation analysis, statistically significant relationships were found between all of the sub-dimensions of interpersonal sensitivity, academic self and experiences in close relationship and subjective well-being. The results of the stepwise regression analysis revealed four statistically significant models to explain subjective well-being. At each stage, when the effects of the sub-dimensions included in the previous model were controlled, the explanatory levels of the variables included in the model for subjective well-being were 30% for lack of social self-confidence, 12% for academic effort, 3% for interpersonal anxiety and dependency, and 4% for non-assertive behaviors, respectively. The findings were discussed and supported by the explanations and findings in the literature.","PeriodicalId":315640,"journal":{"name":"The Universal Academic Research Journal","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139233176","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}

However, during the process of teaching mathematics skills to SWD, various learning problems are experienced for different reasons, and inclusion cannot be fully achieved. In order to eliminate or minimize this problem situation, effective mathematics teaching should be carried out. In order to achieve this goal, it is very important to make adaptations to SWD by using technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) in mathematics teaching. Based on this importance, the aim of the study is to examine the TPACK of classroom teachers regarding their implementation of SIP in the process of teaching mathematics to SWD. The research has a qualitative research paradigm. In this context, the research model was determined as a multiple-case study. The participants of the study consisted of eight classroom teachers determined by criterion sampling method. The \"Semi-structured Interview Form\" developed by the researchers was used as a data collection tool. In this context, the answers given by the participants to the interview questions were subjected to descriptive analysis within the framework of themes, sub-themes, and common codes created by the researchers. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the classroom teachers' competencies in technology and content knowledge (mathematics and special education) varied. There are some positive aspects (advantages) and negative aspects (disadvantages) of using technology in both general education and mathematics education, they include the use of technology in different aspects of the presentation and evaluation processes of mathematics teaching within the scope of SIP, and they also need additional services such as developing TPACK competencies in the mathematics teaching process, providing devices, infrastructure facilities and training for this purpose.

In line with this aim, the first village teacher training school was opened in September 1926 in the town of Zincidere in Kayseri. Another village teacher training school was opened in Denizli in 1927. In Turkey, many teachers were trained in just 6 years of education, and these teachers worked in the remotest corners of the country. In line with the possibilities of the period, both theoretical and practical education was provided at the village teacher training schools, which set an example for the Village Institutes to be opened later. This research, which is an examination of the decision book of the Kayseri Zincidere Village Teacher Training School Council (1929-1932), is a qualitative study and was framed with the content analysis technique. Although the school opened in 1926, the existing decision book (1929-1932) was analyzed because the book belonging to the first years of the school could not be reached. Because of the examination, it was seen that topics such as \"status of one-month education, actions to be followed, disciplinary situation, books and stationery, instructions, examinations, curriculum program, discussion of one of the lessons\", which will set an example for today’s teachers’ council, were emphasized. In addition, in line with the information obtained, the structure, functioning, and practices of the teachers’ boards of that period also lead to the idea that the issues discussed are more effective and efficient than the structure, functioning, and practices of today’s teachers’ boards.","PeriodicalId":315640,"journal":{"name":"The Universal Academic Research Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139233080","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 research was conducted through a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research styles. The study includes 20 pre-service chemistry teachers enrolled at a state university in Ankara. A written questionnaire comprising three queries exploring the suitability of laboratory approaches, their objectives, and the determinants influencing the selection of approaches was employed for data collection. The opinions of the pre-service chemistry teachers were collected with the data collection tool 5 times during the implementation. The data was analyzed by content and descriptive analysis of the written responses. According to the research findings, 98.7% of the pre-service teachers believe the strategies are applicable or partially applicable. The lack of materials, crowded classrooms, unsuitable laboratories, and student level, as well as difficulties in classroom management, time limitations, safety issues, problems in achieving learning outcomes, and students' unfamiliarity with laboratory strategies, were cited by pre-service teachers as factors affecting the practical use of laboratories. Additionally, pre-service teachers applied laboratory strategies for learning, learning about science, learning about research, and skill development. Meanwhile, the other result of the study was that the factors for pre-service teachers to prefer laboratory strategies vary according to the acquisition, learning environment, learning outcomes, students, and chemistry topics. The study's findings again highlight the importance of exploring pre-service teachers' opinions about teaching in the laboratory.","PeriodicalId":315640,"journal":{"name":"The Universal Academic Research Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134973327","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}
