It is known that formal and informal educational support resources for what parents can do about the development of their children and how they can cope with the difficulties encountered after diagnosing individuals with ASD are insufficient. Therefore, this research was conducted to evaluate the effect of the education program developed for parents with children with ASD on their participation in children's education and their empowerment. A mixed method was used as a research method. In the study, the researcher evaluated the scale application, in which 452 randomly selected people participated. According to the research findings, the opinions of the research participants on empowering the parents of children with ASD varied between low, medium, and high. In general, it was seen that the perceptions of parents on empowerment perceptions, individual competence, and self-determination were at a moderate level, their participation was at a low level, while their perceptions of autism-related centers' efficacy and trust were at a high level. In addition, the participants' perceptions of empowerment of parents with children with ASD show significant differences according to gender, age, and marital status variables. According to the last finding of the study, family education programs applied to participants with children with ASD significantly affect their perceptions of their empowerment.

Higher education institutions around the world had to implement an emergency remote education (ERE) modality due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to determine the individual and relational factors that affect the perception of learning in engineering, education, and health students during emergency distance education. Through a quantitative, non-experimental, and correlational study, an online survey was administered to a sample of 929 higher education students regarding their ERE experience. They were surveyed regarding their perceived learning, empathy, classroom interaction, self-regulation of learning, positive agency, student engagement, learning approaches, and use of digital resources. Data was analyzed using quantitative methods, namely correlations, comparisons of means and a linear regression analysis. Education students showed a more positive perception of learning, used a deep learning approach, and rated more positively the empathy shown by their professors and the possibilities for class participation than other students. Engineering students had the lowest scores on perceived learning and on almost all other variables. In general, students with a better perception of learning presented a higher engagement in their studies and a lower use of surface learning approach.

Secret societies and fraternal orders came to America with the arrival of the colonists, bringing ideals that influenced the founding of the United States. As the country grew and prospered, so did fraternal organizations, which exerted political influence, provided mutual aid for health and security to its members, and were instrumental in the growth of civic engagement. During the height of the Golden Age of Fraternity, one third of American men were members of a fraternal order. With the Depression of the 1930's, fraternal societies began a slow decline that continues to the present although the groups evolved to became more inclusive in their membership and took on community service projects in their local communities. Scholars suggest that despite efforts to adapt to societal changes, fraternal groups, like other American civic institutions, are suffering from the growing lack of civic engagement in society, which may be traced in part to the rise of digital communication. This paper follows the evolution of fraternal organizations in the United States, explores their changing roles in society, and suggests additional research to explore the future viability of fraternal groups.

Interdisciplinary teaching and learning is an approach that synthesizes the curricular objectives and methods of two or more disciplines or subjects focusing on a specific topic or issue. While it is being increasingly implemented in universities, at lower levels of education there are still countries where science subjects are taught and learned fragmentarily. To assess the significance of the interdisciplinary approach in primary school biology teaching, the paper aims at an experimental verification of the effectiveness of this method in relation to the quality and retention of student knowledge, compared to the monodisciplinary approach to teaching and learning biology. The paper also describes a scenario for teaching a topic in which biological and geographical contents correlate. The study applied a pedagogical experiment with parallel groups. In total, 180 students attending two primary schools in the city of Novi Sad participated in the experiment and were divided into an experimental and a control group. The findings suggest that the interdisciplinary approach improved the quality and retention of student knowledge. The experimental group was more successful in completing tasks that required comprehension and practical application of knowledge. The study thus emphasizes the need for a professional curriculum development that would enhance the interdisciplinary correlation of various disciplines.

Internal and external assessment instruments, such as the Vanuatu Standard Test of Achievements (VANSTA) and the Pacific Island Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (PILNA), reveal that mathematics achievements in the Republic of Vanuatu remain below the minimum standard. This study drew on the constructivist grounded theory approach to explore teachers' perspectives of the learning and teaching processes in mathematics education in the Republic of Vanuatu. Specifically, the focus was on the 'I do-we do-you do' approach of teaching, which is common in mathematics education in the country. Teachers' opinions about the current situation of mathematics education and possibilities for improving it were extracted using semi-structured interviews with 22 teachers from two randomly selected urban schools. Based on the constructivist grounded theory analysis, four major interlink themes were found. Overall, the findings show that mathematics achievements in the country can be improved through proven discovery-learning strategies for stimulating students' mathematical thinking in the 21st century, such as the 'try-understand-apply-mastered' (TUAM) discovery learning process.

Teachers face situations that are difficult to solve, which affect their practices in the classroom. Teachers' ability to face problematic situations been related to educators' adaptive and metacognitive capacity. This study aimed to contrast the recent literature on classroom problems with reports from Chilean teachers regarding what they mean today as critical situations in the classroom. The major problems with the highest prevalence were categorized based on a literature review. Subsequently, teachers from three educational levels (pre-school, primary and secondary) were asked to relate situations in which they had experienced a crisis in their profession. After a filtering based on the relevance and textual richness present, the stories (n=145) were subjected to a thematic analysis and contrasted with the categories obtained from the reviewed literature. The results show a low proportion of problems associated with learning management in the classroom and, on the other hand, a high proportion of behavioral problems in students focused on situations of aggression towards the teacher. These conclusions are discussed to reconsider the concept of &quot;classroom problem situations&quot; and, based on this, questioning the role of teacher training in the development of skills for the management of authentic problem situations.

The aim of this study is to determine the practices of middle school 8th grade Turkish teachers towards comprehension (reading) teaching in the process of learning-teaching Turkish lessons and how long they allocate for these practices. The model of the research is the case study model, which is one of the qualitative research methods. The participants of the study consist of five Turkish teachers who gave eighth grade Turkish lessons in the 2019-2020 academic year and participated in the study voluntarily. In the study, an &quot;Observation Form&quot; developed by the researcher was used as the data collection tools. Literature review was used in the development of measurement tools, expert opinion was obtained, and the level of harmony between coders was examined. Descriptive statistical techniques (frequency, percentage, average, etc.) were used to analyze the data. In the study, each of the teachers wrote five to the poem text &quot;Kaldirimlar&quot; (Sidewalks) in the theme &quot;Individual and Society&quot;, the informative text &quot;Gündelik Hayatimizda E-Hastaliklar&quot; (E-Diseases in Our Daily Life) in the &quot;Science and Technology&quot; theme and the narrative text &quot;Göç Destani&quot; (Epic of Migration) under the theme &quot;Our National Culture&quot; lesson time (600 minutes) had been allocated. Accordingly, 75 lesson hours (3000 minutes) of five Turkish teachers were observed in total. As a result, it was seen that 8th grade Turkish lesson teachers, whose teaching process was observed in our study, used only the texts and activities related to the texts while applying comprehension (reading) strategies in the Turkish lesson learning-teaching process.

There is an increasing understanding that assessment is an integral part of teaching and learning and that teachers are largely not adequately prepared for their assessment responsibilities. Consequently, there is a need for research on what teachers need to improve their assessment practices. To determine what Jamaican secondary school teachers need, this mixed methods study was conducted to describe the assessment tools and strategies used by secondary school teachers of various subjects and in different types of schools as the basis for future interventions. Data was collected from a survey of 1088 secondary school teachers of varying subjects and school types and further explored through interviews and observations of 32 teachers of English. Analysis of the data using descriptive statistics and ANOVA in the quantitative phase revealed that secondary school teachers primarily used traditional assessment tools and strategies, particularly tests, despite school type. Pattern coding and pattern matching in the qualitative phase confirmed these results. The findings also revealed statistically significant differences in the frequency of use of traditional and alternative assessment tools and strategies based on the subject the teachers taught. Qualitative explorations revealed that school policies that require a quota of grades and state or express positive attitudes towards tests influenced teachers despite school type to use traditional methods. The findings imply that school administrators need to implement supportive school-level policies and display positive attitudes toward alternative assessments to maximize the use of assessment to improve learning.

With the COVID-19 pandemic that started in Turkey in 2020, a compulsory and rapid transition to distance education has been made at all levels of education, and online systems have become indispensable environments of the education system. In this process, students' satisfaction with the distance education process has emerged as a variable that educational institutions evaluate primarily. This study aims to develop a valid and reliable measurement tool to determine the satisfaction levels of students in higher education institutions in the process of emergency remote teaching (ERT). The scale items were created by the researchers through a literature review, and the scope and face validities were ensured by means of expert opinion. The scale was applied online to 6540 students at a state university in the spring term of the 2020-2021 academic year, via the learning management system. Because of the factor analysis, a scale consisting of 29 items and 4 factors was obtained. The factors are &quot;The role of the Instructor&quot; with 11 items, &quot;Attitude&quot; with 7 items, &quot;ICT Infrastructure&quot; with 7 items and &quot;Usability and Access&quot; with 4 items. It is seen that scale items explain 71.35% of the total variance. The structure of the scale was evaluated with confirmatory factor analysis and it was seen that the model had an acceptable fit. The values obtained in the reliability analyses show that the scale has high reliability. The Cronbach alpha coefficient for the scale was calculated as 0.975. Additionally, the satisfaction scores from the scale were examined in terms of the gender, field and degree level. While a significant relationship was found between satisfaction and gender, there was no significant relationship between satisfaction and field as well as between satisfaction and degree level.
