Within this scope, the aim of this study is to determine the learning strategies used by foreign language learners. Therefore, case study design was preferred. The data collected form 15 foreign students through observation and interviews to reach detailed findings. Participants were determined by criterion sampling, which is a subtype of purposive sampling method. The data obtained from the observation form, researcher's notes and interview reports were evaluated by descriptive analysis and were categorized as memory, cognitive, compensatory, metacognitive, affective and social strategies. According to the results, each student's strategy preference and frequency varies regarding to the student's personality traits, comprehension level, language level, socio-cultural characteristics, gender, mother tongue, and the subject learned. Moreover, students prefer memory, cognitive, and compensation direct strategies more than metacognitive, social, and affective indirect strategies. This study theoretically extends the conceptual frameworks of previous measures of language learning strategies from English language learning to L2 Turkish language learning. Important pedagogical and educational implications are provided for L2 Turkish educators to encourage L2 Turkish learners to explore their own learning strategies.","PeriodicalId":471129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of advanced education studies","volume":" 43","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139618527","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 Neurophysiological Learning Perception Scale (NAÖ) developed by Sülün, Aydoğdu, Taşçı and Şimşek (2014) was used to obtain data in this research, where the sample consisted of 200 pre-school teachers working in official institutions affiliated with the Ministry of National Education in the central districts of Mersin province. In addition, the General Information Form prepared by the researcher was distributed to the teachers. In data analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were performed to test normality. Mann-Whitney ut-test was used for significance tests between groups, and Kruskal-Wallis Htest was used to compare more than two groups. As a result of the research, the participants considered the information about the brain as valuable information, they did not have sufficient knowledge about neurophysiology, it would be useful for them if they went through education, and that it would be useful in the fields of participation in the lesson, student attitude towards the lesson, permanence in learning and academic success. As a result of the research, it was understood that the participants believed in the positive relationship between the brain and learning, that age and professional experience did not affect neurophysiological perception, but as the level of education increased, a more positive perception occurred.","PeriodicalId":471129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of advanced education studies","volume":"32 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135873117","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}

In this study, themes related to creative and critical thinking skills were utilized from the '21st Century Learning and Innovation Skills Themes' developed by the researchers as the data collection tool to assess textbooks. The themes were generated based on a review of literature and verified by experts. The status of both skills in the textbooks was presented in tables for years and tasks; Science Engineering Applications and Activities. Although the number of Science Engineering Applications are lower than activities, they are more promising for these skills. The low frequency of themes emphasizing problems in both skills indicates a lack of challenging situations. The reason for the low frequency of themes in activities is that they primarily take the form of demonstration activities where students passive through auditory and visual means.

In the study, the perceptions of classroom management in distance education of the students who received pedagogical formation training after the earthquake process and the effects of the earthquake in online courses were measured. The research was prepared in qualitative research type and designed in accordance with descriptive and content analysis. The data were provided with two sections consisting of personal and theoretical information and a semi-structured form containing a total of 8 statements, and the opinions of 163 participants were used. In line with the results obtained, \"distance education\" was found to be moderately efficient. According to the classroom management after the earthquake process, the positive situations encountered in distance education courses were determined as \"motivation\", \"positive classroom atmosphere and interaction\", \"course presentation forms of the instructors\", and the negative situations emerged as \"inability to focus on the course during the course\" and \"worrisome attitudes\". After the earthquake process, the positive effects of distance education on online courses were stated as \"recording of the courses and being traceable afterward\", \"course content and documents are already in the system\", \"being economical in terms of money and time\", and the negative effects were \"the intensity of the courses on the same days\", \"internet and systemic problems\". It was observed that there were significant differences between the students who were exposed to the earthquake and those who were not.

Despite this, the perception that teachers have long school holidays and ample free time during the day has become a stereotype. From this perspective, teaching has been a profession that is sometimes envied and sometimes criticized. From this point of view, this study aims to reveal teachers' views about the holidays they have. Maximum diversity sampling was used to review teachers' views and a total of 12 volunteer participants, four teachers from each school level (primary, secondary and high school), were interviewed. According to the findings, the meaning that teachers attributed to holiday was mostly described with the expressions of \"discharge\", \"clearing the mind\", \"making time for oneself and family\", \"getting out of routine\" and \"unplanned\". In general, it was understood that some teachers found the holiday periods ideal, while others found them inadequate. In addition, all of the teachers stated that they have a mentally and physically demanding job and emphasized that there should be plenty of holidays for this profession. However, they also stated that there is a dominant opinion in the society that teachers take many and long vacations and have free time. However, it was revealed that contrary to popular belief, they could not spend the holidays offered to them (especially summer vacation) efficiently.","PeriodicalId":471129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of advanced education studies","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113969","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}
