Politics of Identity in the Indonesian Wayang Comics
Authors: Ajidarma Seno Gumira
Published: July 2023

As identity become more and more important in the life of a nation-state in the age of globalization, the ideological struggle to be original, like there is an original signifier of â€œIndonesiaâ€, happen as long as the history of wayang comics itself, from 1955 until today. Theoretically come from a Sanskrit source literary epic of Ramayana and Mahabharata, the first evidence of intermediation are the reliefs of Ramayana at Prambanan Temple in the 9th century, as the year 856 AD marked the official use of the temple; and only in the year of 960 an anonymous writer finished the translation of Wirataparwa, part of Mahabharata from Sastra Parwa. Long before come to the comic form, these two epics were the sites of political interest on all of the intermediations, from the Old Javanese translations of the Indianâ€™s Sanskrit, to the shadow play and dance-drama interpretations from the literary sources. The wayang comic itself born as a way out from political repression outside, when in the 1955 comics were hunted to be seized and burn. However, as the wayang comic genre going to be an ideological choice, which the best form, style, and genre to choose is still an ongoing contestation of identity politics to represent Indonesia. Wayang comic is the site of struggle of groups in society with the interest of identity politics with an idea of Indonesia, where the discourse of the sub-ordinated groups appear as a resistance to the discourse of dominant groups.Dengan semakin pentingnya identitas bagi kehidupan negara-bangsa, perjuangan ideologis untuk menjadi asli juga berlangsung sepanjang sejarah komik wayang, dari 1955 sampai hari ini. Terandaikan datang dari sumber susastra epik berbahasa Sanskerta, bukti pertama alihwahananya adalah relief Ramayana di Candi Prambanan pada abad ke-9; dan baru pada 960 terjemahan Wirataparwa, bagian Mahabharata, diselesaikan penulis anonim. Jauh sebelum berbentuk komik, kedua epik ini merupakan situs kepentingan politis segala alihwahana, dari terjemahan Jawa Kuna atas bahasa Sanskerta dari India, sampai kepada penafsiran bagi pementasan wayang kulit dan wayang orang dari sumber-sumber susastra. Komik wayang sendiri lahir sebagai jalan keluar dari tekanan politis, ketika pada 1955 komik dirazia dan dibakar. Betapapun, meski genre komik wayang lantas menjadi pilihan ideologis, bentuk, gaya, dan genre wayang yang mau dipilih masih berada dalam kontestasi politik identitas bagi representasi Indonesia. Komik wayang adalah situs perjuangan dari berbagai kelompok dengan kepentingan politik identitas bagi gagasan Indonesia.
Review of the article ‘Narcotizing dysfunction of the social media in Nigeria’: Did the 2023 election experience change the narrative?
Authors: Ejem Agwu , Nwokeocha Ifeanyi
Published: July 2023

  

  

The paper, Narcotizing Dysfunction of the Social Media in Nigeria by Anyanwu & Ejem (2016), explains that social media are capable of lulling Nigerian users into passivity, giving them the impression that just by commenting on social media platforms, they have helped to solve Nigeria’s social or political problems without taking any practical action. However, during the 2023 general elections in Nigeria, social media seemed to demonstrate the capability to spur Nigerians into political participation, and helped them to match their online energy with the willingness to contribute to providing solutions to Nigeria's social or political problems, leading one to wonder if social media activism is beginning to translate to social and political participation in the real world.

A meta-analysis of the relationship between speech and language development in children with nonsyndromic cleft palate with or without cleft lip
Authors: Lien Kari , Ellis Paige , Scherer Nancy , Lancaster Hope Sparks
Published: July 2023

Objective: Children with nonsyndromic cleft palate with or without cleft lip (NSCP±L) are at risk for speech production and language delays. In typical development, a strong relationship exists between speech and expressive language development. However, our understanding of this relationship in children with NSCP±L is incomplete. Our objective was to determine the average correlation between consonant inventory and two expressive language skills in children with NSCP±L.Design: We used a random effects meta-analyses design. We identified articles for inclusion by searching PubMed, APA PsycINFO, and ERIC. Main Outcome Measures: Correlations between consonant inventory and (1) expressive vocabulary and (2) mean length of utterance (MLU).Result: Based on eight studies representing 187 children with NSCP±L, consonant inventory was positively correlated with expressive vocabulary size (k = 8, z = 0.74, SE = .16, p < 0.001, [0.424, 1.052]). Using data from four studies, representing 83 children with NSCP±L, consonant inventory had a positive nonsignificant correlation with MLU (k = 4, z = 0.513, SE = 0.293, p = 0.081, [-0.063, 1.088]).Conclusion: Our results support a connection between consonant inventory and expressive vocabulary size in children with NSCP±L across four languages. Small consonant inventories are often associated with expressive language delays.
When it is not out of line to get out of line: The role of universalization and outcome-based reasoning in rule-breaking judgments
Authors: Kwon Joe , Zhi-Xuan Tan , Tenenbaum Joshua , Levine Sydney
Published: July 2023

How do we know when it's OK to break moral rules? We propose that — alongside well-studied outcome-based measures of welfare and harm — people sometimes use universalization, asking "What if everyone felt at liberty to ignore the rule?" We develop a virtual environment where agents stand in line to gather water. Subjects judge agents who get out of line to try to get water more quickly. If subjects use universalization, they would need to imagine all agents getting out of line and going straight for the water in each environment. To test this prediction, we model an action's universalizability by simulating what would happen if every agent tried to follow a path directly to the water, then evaluating the effects. We also investigate the role of several outcome-based measures, including welfare aggregation and harm-based measures. We find that universalizability plays an important role in rule-breaking judgments alongside outcome-based concerns.
Accelerating addiction research via Open Science and Team Science
Authors: Dora Jonas , Piccirillo Marilyn , Foster Katherine T. , King Kevin Michael
Published: July 2023

The replication crisis of the past decade has taught us that our literature is severely biased. Many empirical findings underlying our theories cannot be replicated. Although the extent of this problem in addiction science is largely unknown, given several factors we discuss in this chapter (e.g., publication bias), there is little reason to believe that replicability in addiction research is any better. Based on meta-science performed over the past decade, we propose that addiction researchers use Open Science and Team Science practices to improve the replicability of their work and thus reduce the bias in the literature and increase the credibility of our field. We walk the reader through six concrete steps necessary for successful implementation of Open Science and Team Science within the field of addiction research. These steps include, 1) preregister; 2) share data, code, and materials; 3) replicate; 4) train Open Science; 5) change the culture and incentivize Open Science; and 6) collaborate in large teams. We discuss evidence supporting the effectiveness of these practices and highlight some limitations and counterpoints to our proposal.
God’s characteristics as reported by near-death experiencers
Authors: Tressoldi Patrizio , Long Jeffrey
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to replicate Long & Perry’s (2016) God study using a more updated database and different inclusion criteria.The descriptions of God’s and Jesus’ characteristics as observed by 303 Near-death or Near-death-like experiencers were analyzed for their frequency both in the whole sample and divided by the participants’ religious experience.Both in the whole group and in the subgroups, the main observed characteristics (approximately 70%) were a special Light and Unconditional Love, associated with other characteristics such as Oneness and Nonjudgmental, very similar to the descriptions obtained during spiritual and mystical experiences.Only 13.9% of the descriptions reported God or Jesus as in human form, as represented in popular religious images.These characteristics are not commonly reported in God’s main descriptions in the texts of the main monotheistic religions.These first-person accounts of God’s characteristics complement what has been reported in other mental conditions, especially in the spiritual/mystical experiences, offering a great resource for the scientific investigation of God’s nature.
Insight into the Role of Interaction in Language Acquisition: Vygotsky’s Interactionist Theory of Language
Authors: Alharbi Jamilah Maflah
Published: July 2023

Psychologists’ theoretical implications have led to several studies investigating L1 and L2 acquisition. This research examines Vygotsky’s (1978, 1987a, 1987b, 1997, 2012) interactionist view of language acquisition and draws on a critical review methodology to assess the relevance of Vygotsky’s (1978) interactionist theory in L1 and L2 acquisition. To assess whether Vygotsky’s (1978) theory of language acquisition is effective, the selected articles will be critically examined. This research indicates that the articles under review prove the validity of Vygotsky’s (1978) arguments. However, they did not address how children from non-western cultures and those with disabilities acquire language, on the one hand, and the role of self-regulatory speech in language acquisition, on the other hand. Though Chomsky’s (1965) Universal Grammar and Skinner’s (1957) behaviourist theory have inspired scholars, linguists, and researchers to examine L1 and L2 acquisition deeply, Vygotsky’s (1978) interactionist theory explains how social interaction is crucial to a child’s cognitive development. The theory’s emphasis on learner-centeredness may significantly empower language teachers if implemented wisely into the L2 Curriculum. To maximize the effectiveness of social interaction in L2 learning, more profound and longitudinal research on the integration of zone of proximal development and scaffolding into teaching is required. Though teacher and peer interactions in L2 learning have been studied empirically, the types of social interactions that enhance language acquisition need to be assessed. Educators, researchers, and scholars must investigate how social interactions affect the cognitive and linguistic development of learners. Educators, researchers, and scholars must investigate how social interactions affect the cognitive and linguistic development of learners.

Published: July 2023

Technology, learning environment, and e-sources have shifted learners’ learning styles in academic reading courses. The study aimed to explore tertiary Indonesian EFL learners’ learning styles in reading hypermedia material since it benefits teachers in determining teaching approaches, assessments, and tasks in teaching reading courses. This study answered the research questions about tertiary Indonesian EFL learners’ learning styles and gender differences in their learning styles in reading hypermedia material., Seventy-one first-grade learners were selected randomly as the sample from the 141 learners who enrolled in the Academic Reading course. The four types of learning styles, concrete, analytical, communicative, and authority-oriented, were employed as the categories in this study. Descriptive statistics and t-tests were applied for the data analysis. The study revealed that the tertiary EFL learners’ learning styles were concrete and authority-oriented. Concrete and authority-oriented styles were the highest, the communicative style was the second, and the analytical style was the lowest. The t-test result showed no significant difference in learning styles between gender. The successful implementation of this descriptive quantitative research and the design of research instruments for learning styles contribute to expanding the research methodology in this digital era. The research result can help tertiary Indonesian EFL learners understand their learning styles. It also allows teachers to develop classroom activities, tasks, reading material, and media. Specifically, the use of hypermedia material and the changes in the learning environment mode has changed learners’ learning styles in Reading courses, which lead to a change in teachers’ teaching approaches.
A Critical Stylistic Study of Bullying in R.J Palacio`s Wonder
Authors: Hameed Israa Ezzet , Hassoon Fatimah Khudhair
Published: July 2023

Bullying is one of the most common problems that generate vigorous arguments in the community. It is widespread in all societies, especially among children and adolescents in schools. The present study investigates the concept of bullying in the American novel ‘Wonder’ by R. J. Palacio from a critical stylistic perspective. The importance of the study resides for every ordinary reader to be aware of the strategies used in bullying others. It also might be of value to scholars of sociology, critical stylistics, critical discourse studies, psychologists, and any scholar interested in the discourse of bullying. The current study is expected to answer the following question : What is the most common type of bullying and the critical stylistic tools that bullies use to convey the concept of bullying in the analyzed data? The study aims at distinguishing the most common types of Bullying that bullies use in the selected novel and also identifying the critical stylistic tools that are employed by the bullies. The researchers adopt Jeffries’s (2010) critical stylistics modal to analyze the data under scrutiny. The study reveals that the most common form of bullying found is direct emotional bullying which is experienced by Julian and his schoolmates against the victim. Only eight stylistic tools are found in the five extracts through certain realizations related to the specific contexts in which they are initiated. The study concludes that the notion of bullying is represented through using most stylistic tools but with different ideologies.
Religion and ESL Teacher Identity in Malaysia Context: Does Religion Matter?
Authors: Tyng Lee Yii , Senom Fatiha , Wei Lim Jia
Published: July 2023

This paper aims to showcase the interrelationship between religion and ESL teacher identity by using the literature on religion, religion and English teacher, religion and English teacher identity, as well as religion and English Language Teaching (ELT). Despite the potential significance of religious beliefs in shaping teacher identity, this area has received little attention. By examining the literature on religion and ELT, this paper seeks to contribute to our understanding of the importance of religious beliefs in shaping teacher identity. The significance of this study lies in its potential to inform teacher training programs and promote culturally sensitive and inclusive learning environments. This study reveals that religious beliefs play a significant role in shaping ESL teacher identity. Religious beliefs are deeply personal and intimately intertwined with one’s identity, and they can influence teaching practices and interactions with students. The study proposes a conceptual framework for future research on the impact of religious beliefs on ESL teacher identity. The article also suggest that a study focuses on the impact of religious beliefs on ESL teacher identity, whether religion matters in shaping and negotiating ESL teacher identity, should be conducted in Malaysia, a country with a diverse religious landscape. These findings have important implications for teacher training programs and for creating inclusive learning environments that take into account the religious and cultural diversity of students.
From Needs Analysis to the Establishment of a University Vocabulary List for English Majors
Authors: Hajiyeva Konul
Published: July 2023

This paper concerns the academic vocabulary needs of undergraduate English majors in a tertiary context in Azerbaijan. Based on the results of the previous studies, it is suggested that developing an appropriate course material to meet the specific learning needs of these students will be beneficial for them. Thus, this study aims to identify the percentage of the running words and high-frequency word families beyond the 2,000 most-frequent words in the university textbook corpus to help the students to attain 98% lexical coverage. To address English majors’ scant academic vocabulary knowledge, a University Vocabulary List has been created. First, a university textbook corpus comprising the words used in 11 subject-specific course textbooks across subject areas taught at Azerbaijan University of Languages was compiled. Next, the range and frequency distribution of the words beyond the British National Corpus scale 2,000-word families was examined. Finally, the 396 most frequently occurring word families in the corpus were chosen; these formed the proposed University Vocabulary List for English majors, accounting for a 6.96% lexical coverage. The University Vocabulary List for English majors and the British National Corpus 2,000 high-frequency word families, including proper nouns, provide a text coverage of 97.28%, which is only marginally lower than the suggested lexical threshold of 98% suggested by Laufer and Ravenhorst-Kalovski (2010) and Nation (2006). It is, therefore, argued that the University Vocabulary List represents a sufficiently frequent and relevant vocabulary load for English majors whose secondary educational background and first-year general English textbooks have not equipped them for the linguistic challenges they face at the initial stages of their tertiary education. The article concludes by stating the pedagogical implications for developing these learners’ knowledge and use of the most frequent word families.
Moral reconciling at career launch: The case of liberal prospective law school students
Authors: Clair Matthew , Hunt Sophia
Published: July 2023

How do people justify entering an occupation that conflicts with their morals, and what consequences do their justifications have for occupational inequality and change? Scholars have considered how morals shape identities and careers among workers, but we know less about how morals shape—and complicate—the choice to enter an occupation. We examine the case of liberal young adults considering entrance into the legal profession. Drawing on interviews with a racially diverse sample of 74 prospective law school students, we find that they exhibit moral conflict at the prospect of entering the profession. They articulate three occupational justification narratives for attending law school despite their criticisms: lifting up (exceptional lawyering); leveraging out (legal education for non-lawyer aspirations); and leaning in (conscientious class mobility/maintenance). These justifications differentiate between morally “good” and “bad” jobs, roles, tasks, and ways of being in the occupation and situate ideal careers within “good” occupational domains—a cultural-cognitive process we term moral reconciling. To build theory on moral reconciling at career launch as a novel mechanism of occupational inequality and the reproduction of occupational morals, we analyze data on prospective law school students’ early career trajectories two years after their initial interview. We discuss implications for research on career launch, occupational socialization, and occupational morals.
Modes and Methods of Character Creation in Nepali Paintings
Authors: Subedi Abhi
Published: July 2023

Character creation is probably the most important mode of paintings by artists and the most avowed practice and recognized ontology of the anthropomorphic predominance in art anywhere in the world. This phenomenon can be productively discussed in the context of the art traditions. Discussions about character creation in paintings sound tautological but such practices and styles of the painters of any culture and tradition can be a heuristically productive and viable topic. Though the subject is very broad, we can find some interesting creative developments by studying the traditions of art in any society and culture. The subject can encompass broader geo-cultural spheres like Eastern and Western art, and more specific topics like character creation in Nepali paintings—a study of tradition and development. In this article I will focus on this very aspect of Nepali paintings, not sculpture, by bringing my own experience of appreciating, visualizing and theorizing the human motif primarily body and secondarily features related to that. Though I briefly allude to some historical developments I will focus more on the later developments especially from the time when pedagogy in art started in earnest from the early decades of the twentieth century. The basis of the survey is my own understanding of the subject. I have evoked briefly my own perception of the subject as written in my art reviews and articles.

Some Emerging Nepali Abstract Painters of 1980s
Authors: Sharma Yam Prasad
Published: July 2023

Nepali artists of 1980s further developed the subjective, abstract and plural art trends with their individual identity in the paintings. The movement was from objective representation to subjective expression; concrete reality to abstract concept; from external world to the inner experience; and from visible appearance to the invisible existence. Some representative artists of this period are Kiran Manandhar, Sharad Ranjit, Navindra Man Rajbhandari, and Jeevan Rajopadhyay. Mananandhar's paintings emphasize the inner expression through altered art forms. Sharad Ranjit presents the dancing colors suggesting the implied rhythm of the universe. Rajbhandari's artworks present the quest of light in the darkness and rhythmic melody in the silence. Jeevan Rajopadhyay's colorful compositions stand for themselves with the focus on the aesthetic pleasure of the colors and abstract shapes. Creative works of these artists attempt to capture the invisible and intangible aspects of reality in the aesthetic visual form. There is the curiosity to know the unknown – to see the unseen. The visual forms attempt to present this side of the reality through lines, rhythmic curves, unusual shapes, strange colors, and novel images. Since the visual forms are plural and open-ended, there is the possibility of multiple interpretations. Thus, this research is qualitative.

Norfloxacin (NFX) residual was frequently found in domestic wastewater, sewage treatment plants, hospital wastewater, and surface water like lakes and rivers. This threatens the ecological balance of the environment. Moreover, normal biological treatment methods (including membrane bioreactor - MBR) are not feasible for the removal of NFX. In this study, the degradation of NFX through advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) utilising UV/TiO2 and H2O2 as reagents in a laboratory-scale tubular reactor system was conducted. The degradation reactions of NFX could be represented by the Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetic model. The influence of factors, including TiO2and H2O2 concentrations, UV irradiation intensity, and hydrodynamic conditions (specifically, Reynolds number), on the apparent reaction rate constant (kapp) was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the advanced oxidation process employing the combined reagents of UV/TiO2/H2O2 under the following reaction conditions: TiO2 and H2O2concentrations of 0.2 g/l and 0.0492 mol/l, UV irradiation intensity of 225 W/m2, and Reynolds number of 6700, achieved an apparent degradation reaction rate constant for NFX of 0.052 min-1.

Sustainable Solution to Finance Education in Developing World: Education Development Bank
Authors: Naz Farah , Farooqui Muhammad Ahmed , Bhatti M. Ishaq
Published: July 2023

This study aims to identify a sustainable financing solution for developing the education sector in low-income countries. The United Nations underlines education as a means to achieve sustainable development in its fourth Sustainable Development Goal. Quality education can be crucial in bringing about global peace and prosperity by improving human capital and producing future leaders capable of efficient problem-solving and social transformation. However, imparting quality education is difficult when adequate resources and revenue are lacking. In this respect, the education sectors of most developing countries are resource-constrained, and thus, cannot achieve the fourth sustainable development goal by 2030. To address these confronting challenges, our study proposes the formation of an “Education Development Bank”, particularly in developing countries. It asserts that an independent corporation may provide sustainable financing solutions to bolster the education sector and related organizations. It analyses the data of various developing countries from 1975 to 2021. This proposal has implications for policy formulation for governments that value global peace and for United Nations guidelines.

La desconfianza como condición estructural-estructurante de la escuela chiapaneca
Authors: Orantes Pérez Beatriz Eugenia , Keck Charles Sthepen , Saldívar Moreno Antonio , Us Grajales Elizabeth
Published: July 2023

Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación sobre las experiencias de un grupo de docentes que laboran en el estado de Chiapas, México. El objetivo es documentar y analizar algunos elementos nucleares de su aprendizaje sobre el funcionamiento del sistema educativo en el cual están inmersos, un aprendizaje que se asemeja a lo que se entiende por la noción de un currículo oculto. Desde un paradigma constructivista y un enfoque biográfico, se realizaron entrevistas abiertas a nueve docentes de primaria que laboran en Chiapas. Mediante un análisis interpretativo, se identificó el aprendizaje de la desconfianza como una característica emergente y constante en sus relatos. Los resultados fueron categorizados en tres campos relacionales en los que aprender a desconfiar parece ser determinante en cuanto a su práctica e identidad: el gobierno y las autoridades; compañeras y compañeros docentes; y madres y padres de familia. También, se observa la necesidad del trabajo colaborativo y sinérgico, con posturas aprendidas que cierran esta posibilidad y perpetúan los mismos sentimientos de desconfianza y un ambiente adverso. Estas posturas tienen una clara implicación en el aprendizaje de los estudiantes, al alterar el buen funcionamiento de las escuelas, así como el clima escolar.

La educación en contextos de encierro punitivo (ECEP) es un campo de acción e investigación que, en los últimos años, ha tomado gran notoriedad en México y en Latinoamérica. Múltiples experiencias educativas ancladas en las pedagogías críticas y la educación popular proponen que el vínculo entre docentes y estudiantes se construya como un espacio de encuentro donde compartir la palabra desobture la aflicción de vivir en el encierro (Manchado, 2012). Más aún, aludiendo a su dimensión política, la ECEP puede generar situaciones de enseñanza y aprendizaje mediante las cuales el estudiantado comprenda y resignifique su posición en la sociedad y desarrolle tras las rejas imaginarios sociológicos que le permitan ubicar sus experiencias personales dentro un contexto histórico y social más amplio (Gutiérrez, 2020).

The purpose of this research is to look at the connection between early maladaptive schemas, attachment styles, life satisfaction and emotional expression ability. Information such as the participants' age and gender was gathered on a voluntary basis for the study. There were 362 participants in the study, with 230 (63.5%) women and 132 (36.5%) males between the ages of 18 and 45. In the study, "Sociodemographic Form", "Young Schema Scale-Short Form-3", "Three-Dimensional Attachment Styles Scale", "Life Satisfaction Scale" and " The Emotional Expression Questionnaire " were used. According to the study's findings, the Young Schema Scale and the Life Satisfaction Scale have a generally significant and negative correlation. The Emotional Expression Questionnaire and the Life Satisfaction Scale were found to have a significant and positive relation. The relationship between the secure attachment sub-dimension of the Three-Dimensional Attachment Styles Scale and the Young Schema Scale was found to be negative, while the relationship between the avoidant attachment style and the anxious/ambivalent attachment style and the Young Schema Scale was found to be positive. It was concluded that the relationship between Life Satisfaction Scale and secure attachment style was significant and positive, while the relationship between avoidant attachment style and anxious/ambivalent attachment style was significant and negative. A significant relationship was found between the Three-Dimensional Attachment Scale and the Emotional Expression Questionnaire. The findings revealed that expressing emotions and secure attachment have a significant and positive correlation, while expressing emotions and avoidant attachment and anxious-ambivalent attachment had a significant and negative relationship.

Siyasal iktidarın ortaya çıkması ve varlığını sürdürmesi, demokratik rejimleri niteleyen temel parametreler olarak temsil ve katılım fikrini uygulamaya geçiren araç ve mekanizmalarından birisi de seçim olgusu ve seçim sistemleridir. Seçme ve oy verme hakkı seçme yöntemlerinin kurumsallaştırılması ile ortaya çıkar. Bu durum sonucunda demokrasinin yaşanabilir ve sürdürülebilir olmasını amaçlayan seçim sistemleri, Türkiye özelinde dünden bugüne uygulamasında ortaya çıkan temel nitelikler, sorunlar ve çözüm arayışları bu çalışmanın ana temasını teşkil etmektedir. Osmanlı Devle-tinden Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ne aktarılan siyasi- idari mirasın bir boyutu olarak seçim ve seçim sistemleri konusunun bu kapsamda, anayasa hukuku, siyaset bilimi ve kamu yönetimi bağlamında bileşenleri bulunmaktadır. Bir temel hak ve özgürlük olarak seçme hakkının anayasal çerçevede nasıl sistematize edileceği konusu ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca demokrasi teorisi ve pratiği bağlamında seçme yöntemleri ve seçim sistemlerinin siyasal iktidarın kullanımının yönetim süreçlerine etkisi/katkısı ve nihayet devlet tüzel kişiliğinin temel organları olarak yasama, yürütme ve yargı erkleri ile kamu yönetiminin yapısal ve işlevsel anlamdaki durumu ve işleyişi gibi konular bu bileşenler kapsamında değerlendirilebilir. Sözü edilen bu unsurların çerçevelediği içerik kapsamında, Cumhuriyet öncesi ve Cumhuriyet dönemi ayrımlaması yapılmak suretiyle seçim sistemleri ve siyasi-idari işleyiş ve yapılanmanın hükümet sistemleri ile olan ilişkisi, 1876, 1921, 1924 ve 1961 anayasaları şeklindeki bir tasnif çerçevesinde ve bir dönem incelemesi biçiminde bu çalışmada ele alınmaktadır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı öğretmenlerin olumlu okul iklimi oluşturma hakkındaki fikirlerini almaktır. Bu çalışma 2022-2023 eğitim öğretim yılında Antalya ili Döşemealtı ilçesinde bulunan ilkokul öğretmenleri arasında gönüllülük esasına göre seçilen 10 ilkokul öğretmeniyle mümkün olan en çok yönlü ve ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanarak gerçekleştirilmiş olup durum modeline dayanmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen 6 tane açık uçlu sorudan oluşan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Veriler yüz yüze bireysel görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Nitel verilerin analizinde öğretmenler ile yapılan görüşmelerin sonucunda elde edilen veriler temalar şeklinde sınıflandırılarak bulguları ortaya çıkaracak şekilde düzenlenmiştir. Verilen cevaplar doğrultusunda frekans sıklığı tablolarda gösterilmiş ve tablo altına doğrudan alıntılarla yazılarak içerik analizi yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; öğretmenler okul ortamının açık olduğunu düşündüklerini, okulda kendilerini rahat hissettiklerini, okulda gruplaşmanın olmadığını, aralarındaki iletişimin genel olarak iyi olduğunu, her konuda birbirleri ile yardımlaşmanın olduğunu ve gruplar arasında güven ortamının hâkim olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Öğretmenler okullarının atmosferini en çok, olumlu yönetiminin olumlu tutumlarının, meslektaşları arasındaki iletişimin ve okul ortamının etkilediğini vurgulamışlardır. Ayrıca öğrencilerin genel tutumları ve velilerin cimer şikâyetleri, okulun fiziki yapısı, okulun araç gereç durumu ve donanımı okulun atmosferini etkilemektedir.
