In the analyses, considering the individualized test design, item packages in the same test(s) in the core, first-stage, and second-stage sections were used. The second package (Core RC2), second package (Stage 1-R12H), and third package (Stage 2-R23H) were selected for the core, first, and second stages, respectively. Three partially scored items in this package were excluded from the analysis, and 33 common items with score of 1-0 were included in the analysis. This study included 147 Turkish students who responded to package of items. The variables of gender (ST004D01T), school location (SC001Q01TA) and index of economic, cultural and social status (ESCS) were drawn from student- and school-scale data and combined with the items of the cognitive test. Prior to data analysis, the dataset was organized, missing data and outliers were examined, and the assumptions of the theories were tested. Within the scope of the study, the Mantel-Haenszel (MH), Logistic Regression (LR), SIBTEST, and Raju’s Area Measures methods were employed for two categorical variables, and the Generalized MH, Generalized LR, and Generalized Lord’s χ2 methods were used for three categorical variables. According to gender variables, two, four, and three items were found to show DIF in the MH, SIBTEST, and LR methods, respectively, whereas 17 items were found to display DIF according to the unsigned area test, and seven items were found to display DIF according to the signed area test in Raju’s Area Measures. According to the ESCS variable, two and one items manifested DIF in MH and LR, respectively, while 15 items were found to manifest DIF according to the unsigned area test and eight items manifested DIF according to the signed area test in Raju’s Area Measures. None of the items showed DIF when using the SIBTEST method. According to the school location variable, one, two and 28 item were found to show DIF in Generalized MH, Generalized LR and Generalized Lord’s χ2 method, respectively. The results of the study indicate that although the Classical Test Theory (CTT) -based- and Item Response Theory (IRT)- based DIF methods are compatible, they differ in the level of DIF. IRT- based methods detect more DIF items than CTT- based methods. Additionally, similar results were obtained using the Generalized MH and LR methods.","PeriodicalId":47058,"journal":{"name":"Egitim Ve Bilim-Education and Science","volume":"26 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135820394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to examine the visual attention of children with ASD and typically developing (TD) children in different social interaction contexts. Videos and 3D animations with three different levels of social interaction content (low, medium, and high) were created for the current study. The participants included 21 children with ASD (𝑋̅ = 7.6, SD = 1.7) and 22 TD children (𝑋̅ = 8.5, SD = 1.0), all aged between 5 and 12 years. The participants observed the video and 3D animation presentations on a computer screen as a passive viewing task. While the children watched the social interaction scenarios, eye-tracking data was collected to analyze their total fixation duration. The findings indicated that both children with ASD and TD children exhibited the longest total fixation duration on the Eyes and Mouth regions, particularly during the Chocolate Bread scenario, which featured low-level social interaction. When we examined visual attention during the presentation of videos and 3D animations, we found that both groups of children displayed significantly more fixation duration on the face region, especially the Eyes region during the 3D animation presentation compared to the video presentation. The research findings were discussed, and recommendations for future studies were provided.","PeriodicalId":47058,"journal":{"name":"Egitim Ve Bilim-Education and Science","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136133312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample consisted of 428 teachers working in the Guidance and Research Centers in Türkiye, and was determined according to the cluster sampling method. This study was conducted by using a correlational survey method. The data was collected and maintained using the School Principal Empowering Leadership Scale, Supportive Work Environment Perception Scale, and Organizational Commitment Scale in the 2021–2022 academic year. Regression analysis and path analysis relied on data to determine the direct predictors of empowering leadership and supportive work environment perception on teachers' organizational commitment, and the indirect predictors of empowering leadership through supportive work environment perception on their organizational commitment. We also calculated the correlation coefficients (r) to determine the relationships between variables. According to the results, empowering leadership is a positive and significant predictor of teachers' perceptions of a supportive work environment and organizational commitment. Likewise, teachers' perceptions of a supportive work environment significantly predicted their organizational commitment. Simultaneously, while empowering leadership alone explained 27% of the total variance in teachers' organizational commitment, the variance explained by including perceptions of a supportive work environment in the model was 37%. These results show that principals' empowering leadership behaviors that increase teachers' organizational commitment might affect their perceptions of a supportive work environment.","PeriodicalId":47058,"journal":{"name":"Egitim Ve Bilim-Education and Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135461298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten participants, thick descriptions of observations of the school site, analysis of school official documents, and subjected to inductive content analysis. Triangulation of the multiple data sources suggested that the school adopted the following values: democratic governance; a sense of community; holistic education; teacher and child autonomy. These values yielded a set of challenges, namely, blurry roles across all parties and power struggles among the teachers and parents; excessive time spent for achieving consensus among all parties; and the absence of school models to guide curriculum and instructional planning.

Students have faced several risks during this time, which have had negative effects on them. With the resumption of face-to-face education, the negative effects of the pandemic on students have become more apparent. This research aims to identify the changing needs of students in schools after the COVID-19 pandemic by using the Delphi technique with the opinions of school guidance teachers and class guidance teachers and to address these needs through supportive education programs. The research was conducted using a case study, one of the qualitative research designs. The data were collected and analyzed in three stages according to the Delphi technique. The results show that students' technology use and social withdrawal tendencies had increased, their attention span had decreased, and there were weaknesses in their basic school and communication skills. Furthermore, the students mainly experienced anxiety disorders, and their school motivation decreased, leading to an increase in psychosocial needs. As for supportive program activities, some schools have attempted to carry out sociocultural and educational activities as part of supportive programs, but participation and opportunities have been limited. To overcome these negative effects, it is recommended that the central authorities provide the necessary facilities to plan supportive educational programs in all schools that reach all students.","PeriodicalId":47058,"journal":{"name":"Egitim Ve Bilim-Education and Science","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135948719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
