The study's research sample consists of social studies textbooks used in official state schools at all grade levels in both Türkiye and Iran. The data of this study, which followed qualitative research procedures, were obtained by document analysis method. In order to examine the values in the poems examined in the research, a value review form (VRF) is used. The data obtained is analyzed through content analysis. While a total of 19 poems are found in Türkiye textbooks, a total of 10 poems were found in Iran textbooks. According to the research findings, while Türkiye textbooks are generally featured by poems and poets who are accepted by the society, Iran textbooks are characterized by poems that bear witness to historical events. A noteworthy finding in Iran textbooks is that poems are interspersed in plain texts. A total of 16 different values are identified in 19 poems in Türkiye textbooks, with a frequency of use of these values being 44. In Iran textbooks, 16 values are found in 10 poems, and the frequency of use of values is 4 in terms of values found in the poems. In both countries' textbooks, love, patriotism, happiness, solidarity, respect, and altruism are the most emphasized values. It is recommended that historical poems should be utilized while teaching historical subjects in social studies courses. Within the scope of the research, it is recommended to carry out studies on whether it is appropriate to include excerpts from poems that support meaning in addition to plain texts in textbooks, effectiveness and usefulness, etc.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"2016 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385503","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}

Türkiye’s educational and cultural richness attracts an international student body. Some of these students work during their education to meet their economic needs. For the methodology of the research, document analysis from qualitative research methods was employed. Primary data sources for the research include legislation related to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) intersecting with international students in higher education in Turkey, academic articles, books, and reports. The obtained data were classified according to the aim of the research and discussed under respective headings. According to the results of the study; international students face challenges due to language barriers, cultural adaptation issues, and lack of knowledge about their legal rights. These challenges lead them to low-wage jobs and deprive them of occupational health and safety standards. It is recommended for Turkey to provide occupational health and safety training for international students and organize informative seminars about legal rights and work permits. Participation of employers in awareness programs targeting this group of students will be a significant step in solving these problems.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135343895","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}

Consequently, multiculturalism has gained prominence, necessitating the introduction of multicultural education in educational institutions. This change, in turn, has led to increased research studies on multicultural education. The main objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive systematic review of research on multicultural education in Turkey. Within this framework, the study examined the prevailing research trends, methods, focus areas, measurement instruments used, participant groups, and outcomes described in articles on multicultural education in the Turkish context. To analyze the research data, a thorough examination of the articles published in the index TR between 2013 and 2023 was conducted. The resulting data were carefully analyzed using the descriptive content analysis method. The study results show that the number of research papers on multicultural education has increased significantly in recent years. Qualitative research methods were preferred in these studies, while scales stood out as the primary instruments for data collection. In addition, the study found that the majority of participants in these studies were educators, particularly teachers. In addition, a significant portion of the articles were published in social studies. It was also found that the predominant variables in these studies were attitude and gender, with a positive change in participants' perceptions of multiculturalism. By comprehensively assessing these facets, the study contributes to our understanding of the dynamics and trends in multicultural education research in Turkey.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135385354","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 purpose of this study is to create a measurement tool that is both valid and reliable for assessing secondary school students' self-efficacy toward Turkish language instruction. In the 2022–2023 academic year, 420 kids who are enrolled in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades at four different public secondary schools in Aksaray city center make up the study group. The package applications AMOS 24.00 and SPSS 22.00 were used to analyze the data. To test the scale's construct validity, factor analysis was done. The exploratory factor analysis produced a 4-factor scale with 23 items as a result. A total of 52.088% of the variance is explained by the scale. The scale's 4-factor structure was verified by confirmatory factor analysis. The fit indices derived by confirmatory factor analysis were found to exhibit satisfactory or outstanding fit. The reliability of the scale's items was evaluated using analyses, and it was found that the scale's Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency coefficient was .89. The research's findings demonstrate that the scale that was created in response to them is a reliable and valid measurement tool for assessing secondary school students' self-efficacy toward Turkish courses. The self-efficacy of fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade pupils toward Turkish classes can be assessed using this scale.","PeriodicalId":470135,"journal":{"name":"İnsan ve sosyal bilimler dergisi","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135386664","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}
