Thus, by educational institutions aim to educate the new generation of students by the application of guidance and psychological counseling services as responsible and mature individuals who support life in a democratic society. The objective of this study is therefore to measure and analyze the performances of guidance and psychological counseling service programs that train prospective counselors. Data Envelopment Analysis was used which is a performance analysis method based on multiple input and output. The performances of 34 different counseling programs were examined with three input variables (2009 OSYM entrance basic score, number of instructors and number of teaching staff other than the instructors) and two output variables (number of students who took 2013 KPSS educational sciences exam and the mean of educational sciences exam).

A relational survey model was utilised and the research sample comprised 194 volunteer teachers (95 primary and 99 secondary school teachers) who worked at public schools in Hendek, Sakarya. The measure of organisational cynicism developed by Brandes, Dharwadker and Dean (1999) and adapted to Turkish by Kalagan (2009) was used for the data collection. It consists of 13 items about teachers’ thoughts on organisational cynicism. The scale of accountability practises in the Turkish National Education System, including the subscales of responsibility, standards, transparency, checking and questioning developed by Bulbul (2011) was used to measure accountability. Because the data distribution was not normal, mean, frequency, percentage, standard deviation, Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis and Spearman’s rho correlation tests were used. According to the results, the teachers’ thoughts about organisational cynicism were at the level of (x 2, 38) ‘I don’t agree’ on the total scale, and their thoughts about accountability practises in the Turkish National Education System were at the level of (x 95) ‘I am not sure’. When the total values were examined, it was determined that there were low, negative relations between teachers’ thoughts about accountability practises in the Turkish National Education System and their perceptions of organisational cynicism.","PeriodicalId":358961,"journal":{"name":"International Online Journal of Educational Sciences","volume":"393 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124053273","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}
