The aims of teaching have evolved along with the society in which we live, from a teaching based in memory to a one that teaches to reason, in order to adapt to the accelerated rate of change imposed by the application of scientific discoveries in our society. We have a society in continuous learning, which requires the ability to reason in order to adapt quickly. We are defining quality in teaching as your ability to teach to reason. This definition covers all new approaches: competencies, student-centered teaching, flipped classroom, etc. Each subject of the program is a pretext to teach to deduce or to induce, which are the two types of reasoning known. The teacher decides on each topic if he deduces it from previous knowledge or induces it from a demonstration or experimental data.

The aim of this study is to analyse university students' perceptions about the Coronavirus concept through metaphor analysis. The data were obtained from 186 students studying in the Education Faculty of a university. Phenomenology research design, one of the qualitative research patterns, was used in this study. The data obtained in the study were collected with the expression &quot;Coronavirus is like…because…&quot; and document analysis technique was used in the analysis of the data. It was found that the students who participated in the study created 133 well-structured metaphors related with the concept of coronavirus. According to the results obtained from the study, it was found that students mostly created negative metaphors about the concept of coronavirus. The metaphors created by the students who participated in the study were grouped under 11 conceptual categories as &quot;being contagious, causing damage / being fatal, being hidden, being unifying / regulating / leaving positive effects on people, affecting large areas / the process covering a large period of time / changing life and affecting everyone equally, isolation, taking measures, social distance, emotions, restriction, uncertainty&quot;. Based on the metaphors created by the students, it was found that the concept of Coronavirus was explained with more than one and different metaphors.

In this study it has been aimed to evaluate the asynchronous distance education practices applied during the Covid-19 isolation period in an education faculty. Research sample was constituted of 1444 undergraduate students studying at an education faculty in a state university. Data have been collected with &quot;Questionnaire for evaluation of distance learning applications&quot;. The obtained data were subjected to descriptive statistics and chi-square analysis. As a result of research, it was determined that undergraduate students were partially satisfied with asynchronous distance education and that there was a positive correlation with the satisfaction of having computer and internet. In the research it was seen that students considered it to be insufficient for distance learning to enable motivation and permanent learning. Besides, it was determined that students preferred face-to-face learning to distance learning and that after the isolation period they expected to proceed with face-to-face learning. Based on the results of the research, it was suggested that distance education should be carried out by blending synchronous and asynchronous application, increasing interaction and paying attention to the workload.

Research aims to identify the attitudes of middle school teachers and school principals on lecture inspections. This research uses case study research design. The data collection tool was used in interviews because it aimed to help principals access more extensive data in relation to the comments of middle school teachers on lecture inspection. The study group of the research was five teachers working in different branches of the Buca Otuken Middle School in the academic year 2016-2017. The sample in the research was determined with convenience sampling. The data for the research were obtained through the semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers after a literature review. The validity of the interview form used in obtaining research data was considered stepwise in terms of criteria. The findings on the comments of the teachers in the school in which the research was performed on lecture inspections by principals. The findings are considered separately as sub-problems. In the first sub-problem, we aimed to establish the expectations of the school principal in terms of duties and competence. The participants were asked to list the duties and competences they expected. In the second sub-problem, the participants were asked about their opinion of the leadership role of the school principal during inspections. The participants desire a principal who is a constructive leader who can control the style and level of criticism. In the third sub-problem, the teachers were asked for their opinions on the evaluation and feedback style of the school principal after inspection. The duration should be determined based on the teacher. As a leader, the school principal should be aware of this duration with each teacher.

In the midst of dual pandemics, the racial justice uprising and Coronavirus pandemic, I, a Black associate professor of education, took on the challenge of having my White colleague as an apprentice for racial justice work. While co-teaching a critical diversity course, I decided to strategically engage our College of Education in a robust conversation on racial equity and reconciliation. An unanticipated event in that process was that my apprentice would become an effective ally and coconspirator. I share this insight of our process in hopes that aspiring allies might improve their effort.

In this article, we use Pichon's (2019) Community Ecology Model of Socio-academic Integration (CEMSAI) as a framework to conduct an environmental scan at four Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs): two community colleges and two research institutions. Special attention was given to how this model can help educational leaders understand how minoritized students (native or non-native to the campus) interact within these ecosystems, especially as it relates to the serving role of the institutions. The CEMSAI framework allowed us to: (a) know student profile; (b) understand the historical and cultural context of the institution; (c) determine how students use resources and space on campus; (d) observe how students develop and grow on campus (what is changing?); (e) assess the use of resources on college student change and development; and (f) systematically document changes as it relates to structural/space, curricular and co-curricular, climate, and strategic initiatives to address student success. Specifically, we learned what it is like to be the dominant minority student at an HSI: What is it like to be a majority on campus and in the community and not always see that culture reflected within the ecosystem? This could be connected to the service role of the institution. Serving institutions, which tend to be closer to Mexico, appeared to be more socio-academically integrated.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted non-formal education, which includes children's informal learning and social development. Due to the required closings of many informal learning spaces, children have been left without methods to construct their learning physically and socially. This essay discusses how informal learning benefits children, how COVID-19 has interrupted children's receipt of those advantages, and ways in which children, families, educators, and communities can compensate for the temporary closings of informal learning spaces.

This study examined differences between females and males in emotional intelligence (EI). The researchers conducted a test of association between EI and sex and on age in a sample of educational leadership doctoral students. Using a survey, the principal investigator collected measures on EI and other demographic information from the participants. The sample was made up of 36 educational leadership students (24 women and 12 men) attending a regional university located in the southern region of the United States. EI was evaluated by the Schutte Self-Report EI Test (Schutte et al., 1998), which evaluates four subscales (Perception of Emotion, Utilization of Emotion, Managing own Emotions, and Managing Others' Emotions). When the researchers examined EI as a trait, they were unable to detect differences in EI based on gender and based on age. Additional research is needed to further understand EI in educational leadership doctoral students.

Attitudes of future health professionals is critical to provide inclusive healthcare services. The purpose of this study is to examine attitudes of medical school students toward individuals with disabilities. This study included both quantitative and qualitative analysis of 153 medical school students in Turkey. Results showed that medical students' comfort levels were significantly more positive toward a patient without apparent disability. The relationship between attitudes and comfort levels for a patient with apparent disability was slightly higher than the relationship between attitudes and comfort levels for a patient without apparent disability. Content analysis of open-ended questions indicated the need of disability education in medical school. Exploration of the attitudes of medical school students toward individuals with disabilities provided both practical and theoretical implications into the field.

Several suggestions for the use of Mobile Phone (MP) sensors in science teaching are found in the literature, and most of them focus on proposing physics experiments that can be conducted with the aid of the sensors that commonly exist in smartphones. The proposed experiments rely on the Bring Your Own Devices (BYOD) approach, that is, students are allowed to bring and use their own MPs in the classroom or school science lab. The present study investigates (a) the variations in the results of experiments, and (b) other possible &quot;technical&quot; difficulties which arise when students use their personal MPs to take measurements with acceleration, sound, and light sensors because of the fact that the devices may be technologically different. According to the findings, as regards the acceleration and sound sensors, the teacher who decides to use the students' MPs in classroom experiments will not encounter problems with statistically significant differences in the results of the same experiment conducted with different devices. In contrast, the use of light sensors resulted in considerable difficulties, which made it possible to use only a small percentage of devices. Finally, the illuminance indications vary significantly between the devices, making it impossible to use them as reliable photometers.

This essay explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the position of British universities in league tables. We argue that the pandemic has increased the inequalities between them. Through the analysis of the three core functions of universities -- internationalization, research, and teaching, we predict that the gap between top-tier and second-tier universities will widen, mainly due to the former's halo effect.

In this paper, we show a laboratory experience describing the possibility to build a sensor using a coil to measure small thicknesses of materials with the possibility of measuring temperature simultaneously, with the same built sensor. Its operation is based on the following facts: An electric current (a.c), flows through a coil and a magnetic field appears producing self-induction characterized by an electromotive force induced in the coil when a conductive piece is situated in front of the coil. That permits us to obtain information about the distance between the coil and the conductive piece. When this separation thickness is changing, the magnetic field around the coil changes, because the self-induction coefficient (L) is also changing. Using resistance and impedance measurements (voltage in our case) in the coil, an expression has been obtained for the determination of the thickness of a non-conductive sheet placed between a metallic plate and the coil. Calibration measurements of resistance with temperature have been obtained. The thermodynamic analysis is also presented showing the equation of state of the system between the voltage, temperature, and the thickness of the non-conductive sample. The linear thermal expansion coefficient of the sample is also determined.

&quot;Tanjim&quot; means &quot;belief in the effect of the state of the constellations and the movement of stars in human life and terrestrial events&quot; and is one of the topics that have long been of interest to humans, including Muslims. The existence of some narrations, for or against this issue, has caused the jurists of Islamic religions to disagree about its permission or sanctity. As far as it is mentioned in Shiite jurisprudential books as one of the forbidden achievements. The issues related to the jurisprudential ruling of Tanjim can be examined in four areas; the principle of entering the discussion of stars and astronomy; teaching and learning it; practice it; and acquire it. In this research, in a descriptive-analytical manner, with the information obtained from the library method, and by analyzing the narrations, we examine the arguments of the jurists of the two sects in the second area. Research findings show that; the teaching of astrology is permissible and sometimes recommended if it means astronomy and cosmology. However, it is forbidden if it requires other prohibitions, such as believing in the independent influence of the stars in terrestrial events, or their association with God, lying, or foretelling suspicious matters.

This research was conducted to measure the relationship and effects of social and emotional loneliness levels of university students to nomophobia levels. The sample of this study consisted of 692 university students who attended Trakya University in Edirne province of Turkey. The findings obtained in this study showed that it was observed that there was a significant relationship between the level of nomophobia of the university students and the loneliness in the familial relations, one of the sub-dimensions of social and emotional loneliness Scale. In addition, no significant relationship with nomophobia was observed regarding loneliness in social and emotional relations. In conclusion, an increase in the sense of loneliness experienced by university students in familial relationships may suggest that it increases the risk of nomophobia.

The cosine theorem is used in solving triangulation problems and in physics when solving problems of addition of unidirectional oscillations. However, this theorem is used only for the analytical calculation of triangles or when solving problems of adding two oscillations. Here we propose a generalization of the cosine theorem for the case of calculating polygons of arbitrary shape and consider its application for calculating the results of adding an arbitrary number of unidirectional oscillations or coherent waves with an arbitrary phase distribution.

Pandemic processes are important factors triggering the changes in the psychological and sociological structure of society. The COVID-19 outbreak has embodied many variables affecting people's lives in several terms in Turkey as in the whole world. People have appeared to face many psychosocial and economic difficulties due to the social and economic conditions changing with the pandemic period. During this period, domestic workers are the first people who experience these problems in multiple ways. Hope is an important concept in terms of protecting and improving the well-being of domestic worker women who have serious problems in terms of social security, social relations and economic income. Therefore, this research aims at examining the hope mechanisms developed by female domestic workers against the difficulties they experience during the pandemic period between March-June 2020. As it known, hope increases the well-being of people. 15 female domestic workers participated in the research, which was designed in a descriptive phenomenological pattern. The analyses obtained as a result of the interviews held with the female domestic workers revealed that the findings were related to the themes of sources of hope and adaptation process during the pandemic. When the sources of motivation in the structuring of hope are reviewed, it is noteworthy that they are divided into the subthemes of social and inner sources. Considering the relationship of hope with the adaptation to the pandemic period, on the other hand, the subthemes of efforts on reducing concerns, rearrangement of the financial life and view of the future come to the fore.

Electric charges and magnetic poles are often confused in the minds of students. It is convenient to remind them that they only interact when they are in relative motion. The force F on a charged particle q moving with velocity V in a magnetic field B is given by F = qVxB. By Newton's Third Law, the force on magnet producing the field B is equal in magnitude and the opposite direction.
