The introduction of inclusive education is an important factor in the development of society. The teacher plays special role in this context, the motivational readiness of teachers to work in an inclusive environment is important. The analysis of educational programmes showed that graduates of pedagogical majors are subject to equally high requirements for their psychological readiness to work with children with special educational needs. However, the educational components aimed at the formation of psychological readiness for the studied quality are not fully represented. Therefore, the aim of the study was to experimentally compare the motivational and value aspects of the psychological readiness of future teachers majoring in Special Education and Educational, Pedagogical Sciences to work in an inclusive educational environment. The research involved the method of T.I. Ilyina &quot;Study of Educational Motivation in High School&quot;, the Inclusive Education Questionnaire, V.V. Boyko's Communicative Tolerance Test were used. Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test, Fisher's [phi]-test. As a result it was determined that students majoring in Special Education have a higher level of psychological readiness to work in an inclusive educational environment than students majoring in Educational, Pedagogical Sciences. To sum up, it is necessary to strengthen educational programmes for teacher training with the components of inclusive education, as well as to include inclusive-oriented topics in the general professional subjects. We consider the study of cognitive and activity aspects of psychological readiness of future teachers to work in the inclusive education as a prospect for further research.

The low higher order thinking skills (HOTS) of vocational students is shown from the approaches and models used in learning that are not specific, learning activities are limited to methods that have not been able to grow HOTS. One of the approaches offered in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The research objective was to analyze STEM in growing HOTS through literature studies. The data collection method used a STEM systematic review from 2016-2020 based on the indexed findings of Google Scholar and Scopus (Database: Elsevier, Scopus, and Science Direct). Qualitative descriptive data analysis technique was employed on inductive deductive patterns. Based on data analysis, there are findings of 18 Google Scholar indexed articles and 20 Scopus indexed articles according to the inclusion criteria. The results showed that: i) STEM integration patterns in growing HOTS obtained six STEM literacy patterns of 28% on Google Scholar and four STEM integration patterns by 65% in Scopus; ii) The trend of STEM and HOTS research from 2016-2020 has increased the most in 2020 by 56% on Google Scholar and 40% on Scopus. Most of the methods used are research and development (R&amp;D) with data analysis techniques in the form of t-test on Google Scholar data and survey methods with descriptive analysis on Scopus data. The difference in the publication trend on the integration pattern, the number of samples used is greater in the Scopus data. The method used is more dominant in the survey than R&amp;D, but whatever the research design in STEM literacy is, in principle, it can empower HOTS to increase learning activities.

Turkish language teaching centers for foreigners have been founded in many universities in Turkey. However, there are hardly any scale development studies in the relevant literature to identify the attitudes of language teachers towards students in the teaching environment. This study was carried out in order to fill the void in the field. The study group of the study consisted of 184 instructors teaching Turkish to foreigners at the Ulutömer language school of Uludag University in Bursa as well as at other state, foundation and private universities in Turkey. In order to test the construct validity of the scale, firstly a model was created with the sample group by means of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and it was decided whether the structure of the scale would be confirmed by using the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). As a result of the analysis done, RMSEA turned out to be = 0.085, NFI = 0.93, NNFI = 0.91, SRMR = 0.08 and CFI = 0.95. According to the results of the exploratory factor analysis, a 3-factor scale, body language, motivation and class participation, consisting of a total of 57 items with factor load values of .30 and above, was obtained and the total variance explanation rate was calculated as 42,094%. Cronbach's Alpha analysis was used to determine the internal consistency of the scale and since this value approaching 1 meant an increase in reliability, it was found that the overall reliability level of the scale was 0.932. The SPSS 24.0 program was used for statistical analysis.

Starting from the elementary school years, geometric reflection has potential for students to improve their understanding of plane geometry. Although it gives them opportunities to investigate the motion view of the transformed figures and mapping of all points in the plane onto itself, the instructional tasks and teaching practices generally focus on developing motion views and ignore the mapping view. The purpose of this study is to examine how PSTs understand the geometric reflection in terms of a motion view and mapping view by using a dynamic geometry software (DGS) (GeoGebra), and in what ways the GeoGebra support or limit preservice teachers' understanding of geometric reflection in terms of motion and mapping views. Four case studies were constructed from transcript audio records, and videos. The data were analyzed using motion and mapping views as inferred from related studies. The results indicated that PSTs' views were limited to a motion view, and they could not show improvement in their understanding into a mapping view due to the use of GeoGebra and its tools (e.g., reflect about line, segment, dragging).

Making a brighter presentation and improving assimilation of educational material with the help of the case method allows activating the mental, exploratory and creative abilities of students to optimize the process of assimilation of information. The combination of this method with others allows making future specialists to independently find ways to solve problems. This results in the assimilation of professionally significant special knowledge. The aim of the study was to determine the features of the application of the case method in the educational process in preparing students for future professional activities, identifying sources, structural elements and filling professional cases. The study involved the survey method and further testing to identify indicators of significance at the summative and control stage of the experiment. Methods used: diagnostic programme to study the level of educational activities by Riepkina, Zaika; assessment of the level of control and self-assessment actions; statistical and mathematical interpretation of empirical data with subsequent functional analysis of the research results. The study showed the high efficiency of the case method in the educational environment of higher educational institutions (HEIs). The indicator of students' self-presentation after the application of the case method has changed significantly. This was reflected in an increased high level to 35.5%, a decreased medium level to 38%, and a slight increase in all levels in the experimental group students. Positive dynamics was revealed on all criteria for diagnosing the effectiveness of the case method in teaching: a decreased percentage of students with negative and relatively low markers and a corresponding increase in the percentage of students with positive markers of knowledge and learning the material. Further research can deal with development and implementation of case systems in view of certain majors, taking into account future professional activities.

The purpose of this causal-comparative mixed-method study was to investigate and compare Saudi EFL female students' perspectives utilizing e-dictionaries to increase vocabulary learning in the Language Department (ELD) and those in the Preparatory Year Program (PYP) at Taibah University. The participants comprised (143) fourth-year students, while (152) PYP students volunteered in the study. The data was gathered using a 3-point Likert scale and an open-ended question that obtained 38 replies. The results of the descriptive statistics indicated that EFL female students in the ELD and PYP agreed on the advantages of e-dictionaries in terms of speed, time savings, and accurately translating words from L2 to L1 and vice versa. At the same time, EFL female PYP students agreed more on the benefits of using e-dictionaries to verify vocabulary meaning, comprehension, alternatives, extensive definitions and examples, and acquiring accurate pronunciation. On the contrary, EFL female students in the ELD were more enthusiastic about the benefits of e-dictionaries in demonstrating the grammatical usage of new vocabulary and accelerating vocabulary recall and retention. The results of the Mann-Whitney U test revealed that EFL female PYP students outperformed EFL female ELD students. The findings of the open-ended question showed that EFL students preferred &quot;Google translation&quot; and &quot;Mobile Apps&quot; more than &quot;Paper dictionaries&quot; as alternate strategies for vocabulary learning.

The aim of the study was to experimentally test the effectiveness of didactic conditions for the development of students' research competence in the study of the humanities. Several complementary methods were used in the experimental study: a comprehensive test to assess the levels of research competence (S.A. Mishyn); Zamfir's Motivation of Professional Activity modified by A.N. Rean; adapted Starkey's Critical Thinking test; Simonov's Education Level technique, author's questionnaire with open-ended questions to determine the importance of research competence for students in the course of their professional education. The results of the pedagogical experiment revealed the effectiveness of the introduction of innovative forms of theoretical training (lectures and seminars) for the development of research competence in future specialists in the humanities classes. The research found the main directions of innovative experience of improving lectures, seminars as a form of education for the development of students' research competence. The research showed that it is possible to develop research competence in the process of teaching humanities depending on the types of training (theoretical, practical). It is important to organize the students' cognitive activity in the course of theoretical training, while it is necessary to apply the problem method of teaching in the practical classes. We consider the study of the problem of continuity in the development of the research culture of the individual under the conditions of continuing education as a prospect for further research.
