The most difficult part for students is solving problems, because it requires numeracy skills, high concept mastery, as well as the ability to use good language, and so on so that students don’t make any more mistakes when working on math problems. Student errors in solving mathematics problems are (1) errors in connecting concepts, (2) errors in operations and (3) errors in constructing concepts. The problem is what is the structure of students’ mathematical misconceptions in solving mathematical problems based on cognitive style. The method in this research, namely an exploratory descriptive approach, aims to determine the structure of students’ errors based on cognitive style in solving mathematical problems. Analysis of research data, namely: (1) Data reduction, (2) Data exposure, (3) data triangulation and (4) drawing conclusions. The cognitive styles referred to are field dependent and independent. The conclusions are (1) the structure of conceptual errors with an applied field dependent cognitive style begins with disequilibrating, then solving by linking applicable concepts, and (2) the structure of conceptual errors with a field independent cognitive style begins with disequilibrating, then solving using analyse.","PeriodicalId":479947,"journal":{"name":"International Education Studies","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141828176","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}

However, some words may cause translation problems because their spelling and pronunciation are the same but their meanings are different. In this framework, it is important to take into consideration the false equivalents between dialects when teaching Turkish to Kyrgyz students. In this study, activities for teaching false equivalents are proposed. In line with this purpose, the research was designed with a qualitative approach and it was aimed to make students recognize false equivalents at A1 basic level by interacting in the classroom. When selecting false equivalents, the frequency of use in the target language was carefully considered and it was planned to teach the related words by role-playing them. As a result of the study, it is expected that students will recognize false equivalent words and show interest in dialogue activities. In addition, it is also thought that it will provide interaction among students. It is thought that the study will contribute to the teaching of false equivalent words.","PeriodicalId":479947,"journal":{"name":"International Education Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135481552","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}

We applied a systematic review methodology to analyze publications through 2021. Out of 225 publications initially identified, 110 were included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings show that the number of publications in the field of computer curriculum in K-12 increased until 2018 but started to decrease in 2019. In addition, computer curriculum research trends focused on the high school stage, followed by the intermediate stage, and most participants were teachers and students. Moreover, the qualitative approach was frequently used in empirical studies, while most methodologies were surveys and semi-experimental. The results show that most of the papers’ suggestions involved training teachers and developing the curriculum. Finally, the study presents some recommendations for computer curriculum research. It suggests developing a research center in the education ministry to encourage researching the curriculum and presents other suggestions in detail.","PeriodicalId":479947,"journal":{"name":"International Education Studies","volume":"186 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135815426","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 through document analysis from the databases of the Turkey National Thesis Center of the Council of Higher Education and Ankara Social Sciences University Library, and the Documentation Department. The data was analyzed by descriptive analysis. Findings proved that SEL measurement tools were developed and adapted as self-reports from primary school to higher education. SEL is correlated with desirable/positive and undesirable/negative traits in children and youth. There are short-term interventions developed and adapted. These programs are effective in improving SEL. As a result, it can be declared that the importance of SEL in raising healthy, successful, and happy generations is accepted in Turkey. However, there is a need for more systematic studies on SEL, both in theory and in practice. First of all, SEL standards should be determined at the national level, considering the cultural sensitivity of the SEL.","PeriodicalId":479947,"journal":{"name":"International Education Studies","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135814336","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}
