Emotions serve a function of preparing individuals' psychological responses to various situations by affecting their decisions in every part of their lives. Cognitive emotion regulation processes lead individuals to identify their priorities and to make life plans and to act in accordance with these plans. In much of the research focusing on emotion regulation, which is of a vital importance for the individual, it is claimed that the healthy expression of emotions depends on how the babyhood, early childhood and adolescence periods are spent. Thus, the current study aims to reveal the emotion regulation strategies employed by the middle school 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students and to explore whether they vary significantly depending on the gender variable. The current study adopted the cognitive emotion regulation strategies divided into nine main categories by Garnefski, Kraaij and Spinhoven (2001). The current study employed the field survey method aiming to explore phenomena in their natural conditions. A total of 127 students participated in the study. Two data collection tools were used in the current study. The first data collection tool is comprised of three stories left uncompleted to be completed by the students and the second data collection tool is an interview form made up of a single question. The collected data were subjected to descriptive analyses and then the emerging emotion regulation strategies are presented together with their frequencies. When the obtained data were generally evaluated, it was found that both male and female students employ passive strategies such as &quot;acceptance,&quot; &quot;rumination&quot; (&quot;focus on thought&quot;) and &quot;positive refocusing&quot; almost at every grade level.

&quot;Assessment is like a yardstick which measures teacher and students' performances.&quot; An assessment plays vital role in educational process. It is also helpful for policy makers, stakeholders and educationists for proper implementation of curriculum under education system. Over past two decades more emphasis is given on assessing learners' performances and emerged as an essential step, too. The present paper highlights the perception of trainees towards assessment. In this regard the researcher reviewed previous studies and identified certain gaps and hence decided to take up the study. In order to achieve this, the following objectives were framed to find out the effects of assessment for or of learning on students' outcome; to articulate the significance of formative assessment; to identify the difference between male and female opinion towards assessment. Hypotheses were framed followed by objectives. To conduct the current study the researcher has used self prepared questionnaire to collect data. Data was analysed through statistical tools systematically by using SPSS software version 20. The findings of the study revealed that there is no significant difference between the opinion of male and female. Therefore changes and development in the assessment are required, giving emphasis on methodologies of teaching with an increasing greater focus on students' active participation.

The burden of financing higher education has shifted from the state to the student since the turn of the century, both in Colorado and across the nation. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2000-01, the state covered 68 percent of a student's cost of higher education, while students and families were responsible for 32 percent. By FY 2011-12, those numbers had effectively reversed: students and families were covering two-thirds of the costs while the state paid only a third. Although General Fund investment has since increased, the split has remained largely the same--in FY 2018-19, the state-student split is 36 to 64 percent effectively. Although Colorado is a particularly striking example of this shift in postsecondary cost burden, other states have also disinvested from higher education due to budget pressures. As states disinvest from higher education, the economic necessity of a postsecondary credential has increased. The Colorado Commission on Higher Education's Master Plan, &quot;Colorado Rises,&quot; sets a goal that by 2025, 66 percent of Colorado's adult population will earn some type of postsecondary credential to meet the needs of Colorado's dynamic economy. In accordance with C.R.S. § 23-1-105.5(2), this report provides detailed information on the tuition and fee rates that Colorado public institutions of higher education charged to resident and non-resident students in Fiscal Year 2016-17 and is organized into the following sections: (1) Definitions; (2) Key Findings; (3) The Process of Tuition Setting and the Relationship to Costs; (4) A Summary of Tuition and Fee Changes in the 2018-19 Academic Year; (5) Interstate Comparisons; and (6) Appendices which provide detailed examples and comparisons across institution type, student groups and year to year comparisons.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the development of technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and Web 2.0 self-efficacy beliefs (W2SEB) and to determine the relationship between them for middle school pre-service mathematics teachers through their involvement in a course designed using a Web 2.0 tools. To achieve this aim, thirty pre-service teachers participated in forty two hours of the course in which they could interact with Web-based applications. In the course, pre-service mathematics teachers were requested to develop and present e-content related to the use of these applications for learning outcomes determined in 5-8th grade mathematics curriculum. In order to collect the required data, the TPACK and W2SEB scale were applied to pre-service teachers at the beginning and end of the course. The data obtained from these scales were quantitatively analyzed. Within this scope, while there were positive developments in terms of the technological pedagogical knowledge levels and self-efficacy beliefs, there was a significant relationship identified between them. Additionally, when the regression results related to the post-test are investigated, the TPACK sub-factors of technological and mathematical knowledge were shown to be significant predictors of Web 2.0 rapid content development self-efficacy beliefs.

In the past, universities did not offer equal opportunities for students with disabilities. Therefore, the principle of transitioning to higher education for students with disabilities was inscribed in legislation. This paper analyzes some legal provisions governing students with disabilities. The present study is essential for recognizing the rights of post-secondary students living with disabilities. Studying the legal provisions concerning the treatment of these learners is critical for ensuring that these provisions receive emphasis and support. Thus, this paper contributes substantially to ensuring that students with disabilities can access post-secondary education and prosper in life. The paper focuses on the possible legislation and special barriers that impede access to quality higher education for people with disabilities. Each topic is treated under the banner of policymakers. The paper examines federal laws aimed at addressing the issue of equality, especially for marginalized students with disabilities, and the options and requirements for ensuring the implementation of better systems that respect students with disabilities. The paper also concentrates on potential amendments to laws that will create more opportunities for students with disabilities. Moreover, it discusses the present accommodations, if any, to facilitate these students' smooth transition to higher education and employment. With this, it highlights special barriers that students face while undergoing their transitions and to existing program articles to make it easy for students with disabilities to access and success in higher education. The paper also touches on student financial aid, provisions for housing, and the use of assistive technology in higher education.

Purpose: To effectively implement a response to intervention approach, there is a need for timely and specific information about student learning in response to treatment to ensure that treatment decisions are appropriate. This exploratory study examined responsivity to a supplemental, Tier 2 vocabulary intervention delivered to preschool children with limited language abilities. Method: A secondary analysis of a cluster-randomized trial of a supplemental vocabulary intervention was conducted. Responsivity (e.g., adequate learning) to the intervention was examined, and learning in the 1st few weeks of intervention was evaluated as a possible predictor of response to intervention. Results: Using a criterion of learning of 20% of target vocabulary, nearly one third of participants were identified as poor responders. A 1st unit benchmark was identified that maximized the sensitivity to identification of children who were likely to respond to the intervention. Conclusions: Even for generally effective interventions, there is likely to be a substantial proportion of children who are not responsive. Learning in the 1st few weeks of intervention may be a useful indicator of appropriate response to treatment and could inform instructional decisions.

Funding agencies, such as National Institutes of Health and the Institute of Education Science have recognized the need to improve the uptake of empirically supported practices into everyday service delivery in real-world settings. Implementation Science is a new discipline that seeks to remedy this problem through careful investigation using traditional and new research methods. We begin this Special Issue on Implementation Science with some of the definitions forwarded to help us understand the distinction among different types of research that are fundamental to Implementation Science. This introductory article discusses some of the traditional assumptions that have been called into question by this new discipline. We then outline some of the highlights of the four subsequent articles in this issue. The final section of this paper summarizes some of the ideas that are likely to shape the future of research that promises to advance evidence-based communication intervention practices.

Objective: This study was carried out as a descriptive study, aiming to reveal the environmental awareness and knowledge levels of the students studying at Karadeniz Technical University Health Services Vocational School. Method: The study was conducted with KTU HSVS students (n=184) in the 2016-2017 academic year. The data of the study were collected with &quot;environmental awareness&quot; and &quot;environmental behavior&quot; scales. Each of the scales was prepared with 13 items and 5 likert types. The significance level [alpha] = 0.05 was taken as the basis for the intergroup significance tests. SPSS-17 program was used for the analysis of the data. Data, descriptive statistics and unrelated samples were analyzed by t-test technique. Findings: According to the results of the research, it was found that the students opinions were &quot;totally agree&quot; on the environmental awareness scale and &quot;mostly&quot; on the environmental behavior scale. In comparison by genders, the mean score of the environmental awareness scale was found to be significantly different in favor of female students. There was no statistically significant difference between the mean scores of the two scales by classification of class. When the results of all variables were examined in the study, it was found that the students had higher arithmetic average scores of environmental consciousness scale. Results: It has been determined from the data that students have difficulties in turning their thoughts into behavior. In this context, a sense of education should be developed that relies on educating students, saving them from memorization and developing brainpower, self-evaluating, balanced and productive people.
