This study aimed to examine social studies education in the context of the subjects of migration and asylum. For this purpose, the views of social studies teachers working in different cities of Turkey were consulted. The phenomenological design was used in this study, which is aimed at examining teachers' views. The maximum variation sampling method, one of the purposive sampling methods, was used to determine the study participants. A semi-structured interview form consisting of six questions was used to collect the data. The content analysis method was used to analyze the data. The results of the study show that teachers hold the following views: Social studies textbooks and curricula are not effective in teaching migration and asylum issues and need to be redesigned, social studies course plays an important role in teaching migration and asylum issues to students, and social studies is an important course in terms of social integration of asylum seeker students.Various suggestions were made to the researchers and the education institutions based on the findings of the study.","PeriodicalId":411995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124410725","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}

Moreover, it was observed that the students were in the questioning process throughout the activities, put forward different ideas, tried to reason, defend their ideas, and were open to discussion and communication. The teacher stated that the philosophical activities were different, enjoyable, and instructive for her and her students.

This study aimed to evaluate the present status of student absenteeism, its impacts on educational environments, and the relevant policies available. The study group of the research, which was conducted in 2019, and used the basic qualitative research design, consisted of 22 participants who were teachers, administrators, experts, and inspectors working in different parts of Turkey. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. According to the participants, absenteeism negatively affects students’ academic and social development. It damages the relationships between the student and teacher and the relationship between the school and the parents. Teachers face difficulties in classroom management due to deficiencies in learning, and schools deviate from their goals. School administrators lose time dealing with absenteeism procedures instead of engaging in educational subjects, and thus, their resources become wasted. To prevent absenteeism, intervention should be considered primarily about students at risk through an early warning system, precautions that are appropriate to the region should be taken, and collaborations with stakeholders are recommended.","PeriodicalId":411995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies","volume":"84 Pt 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129021724","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 two times in order to perform Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Hierarchical Regression Analysis. The participants consisted of 233 students for EFA, whereas regression analysis consisted of 239 students from five public universities across Thailand. The data was analyzed using 'R Programing Language' to obtain the results. The study revealed that in a collectivist culture society like Thailand, student lifestyles consist of five dimensions, i.e., family-oriented, community consciousness, modern, family concern, and traditional lifestyle. The correlation results showed that community consciousness and a modern lifestyle were significantly associated with creative ideation after controlling for gender and age variables. In contrast, family concern, family-oriented, and a traditional lifestyle were not. These findings suggest that undergraduate students who endorse modern and community consciousness lifestyles were likely to perform better in generating creative ideas.","PeriodicalId":411995,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies","volume":"417 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133408608","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 study group was selected via criterion sampling. The data were tested by using an open-ended problem case and analyzed via document analysis.

The results obtained were discussed in line with the proof schemes outlined by Harel and Sowder (1998). However, as certain proofs fell into several categories, they could not be evaluated in only one group. The primary education teacher candidates were found to use authoritative, habitual and symbolic proof schemes, albeit to a little extent, in the external proof scheme category as they solved the given problem situation and explained the solution to their students. The majority of the candidates used the empirical proof scheme known as the perceptual proof scheme, and included some sample-based proofs.

The study moves in this direction by collecting and analyzing teacher perceptions of students' learning losses during the Covid-19 process. The study, conceived as a phenomenology, involved 26 educators from a wide range of institutions, fields, and grade levels. The research utilized a simple and quick sampling strategy.

Academic losses, loss of skill development, psychological losses, loss of equal education, loss of health and safety, and social losses have been revealed as the learning losses experienced by students during the Covid-19 process, as reflected in the opinions of the teachers.
