Design/Methodology/Approach: The population of the current study, which was conducted using semantic content analysis (semantic analysis), consists of studies on the problems of novice school principals indexed in YÖKTEZ (Council of Higher Education, National Thesis Centre), Google Scholar, EBSCOhost, TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM Social and Human Sciences Database and DergiPark databases. The data sources or materials of the research consist of 9 studies (4 theses and 5 articles) determined by using the criterion sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods. Findings: Five themes were obtained as a result of the research, which are listed as administrative problems, problems related to internal stakeholders of the school, problems related to external stakeholders of the school, problems related to school business and management, situational factors. Highlights: The results of the research reflect that novice school administrators face various problems not only in terms of administration but also with the internal and external stakeholders of the school. Therefore, reducing the problems faced by novice school administrators requires an initial addressing of the necessary arrangements for school administration to be a career profession based on competence and merit with a holistic perspective in the selection, placement, appointment and assignment of educational administrators.","PeriodicalId":33167,"journal":{"name":"Kastamonu Egitim Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69038311","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}

To this end, teaching-learning processes were prepared according to the objectives of the first four themes of the ninth grade English curriculum. \u0000Design/Methodology/Approach: This study adopted action research. Participants were selected through convenient sampling method. 52 ninth graders from two different classes were selected to implement teaching-learning processes. The implementation process lasted for 15 weeks. Semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with 24 students, 12 from each class, in groups of six students after the implementations. The focus group interviews were conducted via semi- structured interview form prepared by the researcher. Data were analyzed through descriptive analysis using MAXQDA qualitative data analysis software. \u0000Findings: The data obtained through interviews showed that students were satisfied with the teaching-learning processes. Students believed that their speaking and writing skills improved the most and they stated that the presentations were of great importance in this improvement. Students’ listening comprehension skills improved more than their reading comprehension skills. Reading comprehension was the least improved skill, which can be attributed to the reading-focused instruction they received in the secondary school. \u0000Highlights: The results of the study revealed that in order to ensure high-quality and effective foreign language teaching, teachers should prepare their own teaching-learning process according to the objectives set in the curriculum rather than following the course books and materials provided to them. In this way, teachers not only free themselves from the limitations and shortcomings of course books and teacher's books but also teach more effectively with the teaching-learning processes designed according to the characteristics and needs of their schools and students.","PeriodicalId":33167,"journal":{"name":"Kastamonu Egitim Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69038252","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 quantitative part, 381 pre-service teachers were surveyed using the Multicultural Perception Scale (MPC) to assess their perspectives on multicultural education. In the qualitative part, 20 pre-service teachers were interviewed individually to determine their levels of professional preparation for multicultural education. \u0000Findings: The quantitative findings of the study showed that pre-service teachers have a moderate level of perception their professional preparation levels for multicultural education. Pre-service teachers enrolled in the Primary Education program have a higher perception of multicultural education than pre-service teachers enrolled in other teacher education programs. Furthermore, there is no significant difference between grades. On the other hand, it appears that male pre-service teachers have significantly lower perceptions of multicultural education than female pre-service teachers. Pre-service teachers are observed to emphasize the terms \"diversity, interaction, and togetherness\" when defining multicultural education, according to the qualitative findings of this study. In addition, they emphasized the interactions between pre-service teachers and international students, the program's course content, and extracurricular activities in light of the findings regarding the teacher education program's contribution to and opportunities for enhancing the levels of professional preparation for multicultural education. Examining the recommendations of pre-service teachers for teacher education, it is evident that more opportunities for extracurricular activities, school experience, and observation are recommended. Another recommendation highlighted is the addition of a multicultural education course to the teacher education program. \u0000Highlights: According to the findings, multicultural education must be more thoroughly integrated into teacher education programs. It is anticipated that the study's findings will contribute to future studies of curriculum development and research on multicultural education conducted by those involved in teacher education at the national and international levels.","PeriodicalId":33167,"journal":{"name":"Kastamonu Egitim Dergisi","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69038268","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}
