This study aimed to develop the &quot;Lesson Study Model Perception Scale&quot; (LSMPS) and to determine the psychometric properties of the scale. The study was designed as a survey model. A survey model is a research approach that aims to describe a situation as it is. When all the findings obtained to determine the psychometric properties of the scale developed within the scope of the research are evaluated together, it is investigated that the measurements obtained from the scale and the inferences to be made based on these findings are reliable and valid. Existing literature revealed that there are limited number of studies that determine how the LS model is perceived by teachers. It is seen that none of these studies attempted to develop a scale to measure teachers' perceptions of the LS model. The lack of a study in this context in the literature shows the originality of the study.

The teacher must, first of all, have a good knowledge of mathematics to detect the errors in the student's mathematical knowledge and to identify the general situation in the classroom. This depends on the mathematical knowledge gained in the teacher training schools. General mathematics topics occupying an important place in the departments of mathematics and science education form the basis for a better understanding and comprehension of subsequent mathematics and science topics (Gökçek &amp; Açikyildiz, 2015). In this study, approaches of teacher candidates to errors in the questions on limits, derivatives, integrals, and asymptotes were determined as the case of the research. Perspectives regarding this case were examined in detail in line with the candidates' answers to the questions &quot;what, how, why&quot; and presented to the reader (Yin, 1984). Participants of the study consisted of sixty first-year students studying in the Department of Science Education of a university in Central Anatolia. In the research, a knowledge test consisting of six open-ended questions was used as the data collection tool.

People are born into an existing culture and are shaped by it, whether they realize it or not. The fact that people socializing in the same cultural environment have similar values, norms and behavior patterns results from this feature of the culture. While there are quite distinguishable differences between the cultures of different societies in the world, when it comes to violence against women, the distinctiveness of cultures disappears and societies show great similarities with each other. This is due to the fact that men's perspectives on women are similar around the World. The elimination of the violence primarily depends on men to change their perspective on women; to accept that women are human beings in the true sense of the word to accept that they have a dignity and this honor is at least as valuable as their own and to perform their relations with women on this acceptance. For a world without violence, both formal and informal education institutions have great responsibilities. The problem of violence can be solved by starting a total education campaign in the media, schools and religious institutions, especially in the family. The cultural basis of violence against women is tried to be revealed in this study. With this aim, the hints of the culture that feed violence are traced in proverbs and creation myths collected from different parts of the world.

Changes in science and technology and related developments, which have led to the formation of information societies, make significant contributions to every stage of the education process. Entrepreneurship is a 21st-century skill expected from individuals in the information society; it is essential in increasing societies' development level. In this sense, raising individuals possessing &quot;entrepreneurship&quot; skills, which are included in both life skills and 21st-century skills, is one of the common goals of all countries. The innovativeness level of the individuals, who are at the center of innovation and system changes, and their ability to accept it are expressed as individual innovativeness. To give the characteristics covered by the entrepreneurship skill included in the primary school curriculum to the students in our schools, it is necessary first to equip the preservice teachers and teachers with this skill and ensure that they gain knowledge and experience on this issue. This study examines the effect of primary school pre-service classroom teachers' innovativeness characteristics on their entrepreneurial skills. The study was designed using the quantitative research method. 420 pre-service teachers from a university's classroom teaching program in Central Anatolia participated in the research. Missing or empty forms were excluded from the study, and the data of 358 volunteer pre-service classroom teachers were used. The &quot;individual innovativeness scale&quot; adapted to Turkish by Kiliçer and Odabasi (2010) and the &quot;entrepreneurship&quot; scale developed for pre-service teachers by Deveci and Çepni (2015) were used to collect the data. Simple linear regression was used to reveal the causality between variables. Resistance to change, opinion leadership, openness to experience, and risk-taking were analyzed separately as innovativeness characteristics, concluding that the prediction power of resistance to change is minimal, while other characteristics predicted entrepreneurship significantly. Overall, it was concluded that individual innovativeness characteristics could explain entrepreneurship.

Although the benefits of music have been known for many years, research on children's educational achievements has intensified, especially recently. Self-concept is an essential criterion of success in education, known as an individual's ideas and thoughts about himself are related to children's behaviors and concrete characteristics. Self-concept is a concept that can be developed with education. The aim of this study, in which the self-concepts of 12-13-year-old instrument-playing students were tested, is to draw attention to the role of musical instrument education in the development of self-concept. The research was conducted with 7th-grade students studying in a public school in Ankara. The research results, which were applied to the students who played and did not play the instrument, were evaluated with the statistical program. As a result of the research, although there was no statistically significant result in the self-concept scores related to the time to start learning the instrument, it was concluded that students who play instruments and those who want to play have higher than others. In addition, it is anticipated that further long-term studies are required to monitor how the self-concept scores of children who play instruments develop over time.

Study abroad programs and the need for multicultural education is becoming more popular in United States higher education institutions. These multicultural programs can include various types of programming such as faculty-led, university international center sponsored, third-party providers, or a combination thereof. Understanding the perceptions of participants can influence the type of programs needed within an institution. This study examined the perceptions of students participating in a study abroad, faculty-led program sponsored by the university with the assistance of a third-party provider. The results suggest students are not fully aware of the complexity of organizing study abroad opportunities and hold faculty most responsible. Additionally, qualitative data analysis demonstrated that students find language issues as the most challenging aspect of their study abroad experience. Conversely, making new relationships and experiencing new cultures was found to be the most rewarding.
