To collect data, valid and reliable measurements were conducted. The hierarchical multiple regression analysis has been used to evaluate the data. As predictors of the psychological help seeking attitude, conscientious and agreeable students have more positive attitudes, but negative-valent and open ones have more negative attitudes. Students who use seeking social support and avoidance stress coping strategies have more positive attitudes, but who use keep-to-self have more negative attitudes. Collectivist and female participants’ help seeking attitudes are more positive. With these variables, 14% of the attitude of seeking psychological help is explained.

In this cross-sectional survey study, data were collected from 735 parents in a city in the north region of Turkey. Results revealed that most children did not have basic science materials at home. Parental support for making science trips was especially low. The parents supported their children’s learning most in the area of health, security, and nutrition. The MANOVA results indicated that the parents of middle school children supported their children significantly less to do science and nature activities compared to the parents of preschool and elementary school children. The middle school children were also less likely to be supported by their parents to learn science subjects related to matter, energy, and livings compared to preschool children.

To investigate the research question of the study, case study method was employed. In-depth semi-structured interviews were done to examine participants’ critical thinking processes. The findings of the study indicated that prospective mathematics teachers made use of a variety of critical thinking processes (comprehending, making connections, inferring ideas, critiquing, and self-reflecting) and provided clues about the interrelated nature of these processes. This study would shed light on the characterization of critical thinking in the context of statistical literacy by suggesting a blended framework.

A total of 66 university students participated in the study and six of them were chosen as peer raters on a voluntary basis. In the research, students were supposed to prepare a sample study within the scope of scientific research methods course and were also expected to present their studies in class. While the students were giving a presentation, their course instructor and peer raters conducted scoring, firstly by using the analytic rubric and subsequently by using general impressions. Collected data were analyzed using the Rasch model. Consequently, it was found that students were distinguished from one another at a highly reliable rate using both scoring methods. Additionally, it was discovered that the differences between students’ ability levels were better revealed when analytic rubric was used. It was ascertained that there was a high level positive correlation between the ability estimations obtained from the scores performed by the peers and the instructor, regardless of the scoring method used. Finally, it was determined that ability estimations, corresponding peer raters’ analytic rubric and general impression scoring, held a positive and highly strong relation.","PeriodicalId":41788,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42686162","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 effect size was found to exist at a medium level, considered to be significant which means that AR has positive effect on academic success. In terms of thematic analysis, with reference to common codes and themes found in qualitative studies conducted both nationally and internationally, qualitative findings were obtained. An emphasis on the effect of AR on learning, class environment and affective dimensions was made, together with a consideration of some limitations. It was stated that learning environments could be arranged in such a way that students could be motivated through the use of AR, leading to permanent and solid learning.
