The COVID-19 virus emerged in the city of Wuhan, China in December 2019, has affected the entire world in a short time, and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 (WHO, 2020b). This large-scale outbreak has been on the agenda of Turkey. The main purpose of this research is to examine the opinions of gifted students about the coronavirus and the pandemic. The study was carried out with 70 gifted students studying in the 3rd and 4th grades of the Alanya Science and Art Center which is affiliated with the Alanya District National Education Directorate in Antalya, in the spring term of the 2021-2022 academic year, over a 2-week period. The phenomenological method was used for the study since the study aims to reveal the opinions of the students about the coronavirus and the pandemic documented in writing along with student pictures. Some parts of the book named &quot;Benim Pandemi Hikayem (My Pandemic Story)&quot; were used to obtain the study data. The children were asked to answer the questions in order to understand their views on the coronavirus pandemic and the process it brought and draw about coronavirus. The data obtained from the study were analyzed with descriptive and content analysis. According to the frequency distribution of the categories and codes of the theme &quot;Resources for learning about the pandemic&quot;, students learned about the pandemic most from the news (f=47). According to the frequency distributions of the categories and codes of the theme &quot;What I learned about COVID-19&quot;, students expressed the following the most: mask, distance, and hygiene rules (f=51). When the frequency distributions of the categories and codes of the theme &quot;When you first learned about the pandemic&quot; were examined, most of the students stated that they were with their families (f=48). When the frequency distributions of the categories and codes of the theme &quot;Pandemic drawings&quot; were examined, it was seen that the students mostly drew pictures including a mask (f=29). In conclusion, knowing how children perceive the process experienced is important for educators in terms of providing individual, social, and emotional support and taking necessary measures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers, students, and parents have experienced fears and concerns. For this reason, psychological support programs can be prepared for children, teachers, and parents.

The first and most important step of teaching Turkish to foreigners is to enable individuals to acquire four basic language skills. Writing, which is generally considered to be the last of these skills, is seen as the most difficult skill to be acquired by students. Writing autonomy is an ability that can increase individuals' attitudes and motivation towards writing, improve students' writing skill and contribute to the accomplishment of effective and permanent learning. The purpose of the current study is to investigate the relationship between the writing autonomy and writing skill of students learning Turkish as a foreign language. The study group of the current study is comprised of 129 B1 and B2 level students attending the Turkish Teaching Centres in Mugla Sitki Koçman University, Usak University and Bursa Uludag University in the 2020/2021 academic year. In the study, the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was employed. The data of the study were collected with the compositions written by the students, a &quot;Personal Information Form&quot;, a &quot;Written Expression Rubric&quot; and the &quot;Writing Autonomy Scale&quot;. At the end of the measBurement process, the data were analyzed by using Chi-Square Test, frequency and percentage values, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis H Test and Spearman's Rho. As a result of the study, it was found that the writing skill of the students with high levels of writing autonomy was also high, and it was determined that there was a positive, low and significant correlation between the writing autonomy and the writing skillof students learning Turkish as a foreign language.

In this bibliometric analysis study, it was aimed to systematically review and analyze the existing CT literature and provide an overall outlook and current status of research on CT using the publication and citation data extracted from the WoS database. For this purpose, 5064 articles and reviews on CT published in journals indexed in the WoS database were included in the bibliometric analysis. It was found that research on CT is an emerging area of inquiry and the interest in CT has grown exponentially in the last two decades. Also, publications are mostly published in higher education journals and the journals related to psychology, sociology, and philosophy as well as education technology journals. The USA absolutely leads the production and dissemination of scientific research on CT with other predominantly English-speaking countries as well as some other countries in Asia. Besides, the authors who work on higher education, psychology, and educational technology come to the fore in productivity and number of citations. Although scientific collaboration exists among the institutions and countries in the field of CT, this scientific collaboration occurs mostly among the institutions or countries which are close to each other either geographically or culturally. Five major clusters emerged in the co-word analysis: higher education, 21st century literacy skills, educational psychology and assessment and evaluation, educational technology, the effect of student-centered teaching/learning strategies on the CT, and work life, civic responsibility and social life of individuals.

This study examined the role of science identity in a two-year upper-division research training program that prepares diverse undergraduate students for a research career. Using the annual year-end student evaluation data, we examined whether science identity is a predictor or an outcome of learning that enhances career preparation in biomedical research. Results showed that science identity is a predictor of learning in our trainees. In general, students with stronger science identity at the end of Year 2 reported having acquired more research skills and experiences through the program. This finding demonstrates that science identity makes learning research skills meaningful and purposeful. Preliminary analyses also showed that the levels of science identity did not differ between Years 1 and 2. In fact, science identity approached the maximum possible scores in both years. These findings imply that the training program could have succeeded in bolstering participants' science identity early by the end of the first year. Our findings do not rule out the possibility that science identity is both a predictor and an outcome of learning, depending on the specific contexts of learning as well as learners' specific developmental phases. Further studies are needed to systematically test these and other possibilities.

This article reports an analysis of teacher students' teaching achievement in designing lesson plans, improving teaching practice, and developing teacher competency. The research followed a mixed method research design, combining quantitative and qualitative data. It further employed a one-group pretest-posttest design in a quasi-experimental approach with the participants observed to obtain the needed data for further statistical analysis. The findings reveal that Tadaluring Microteaching Learning Model (TMLM), with its five-component microteaching cycle (e.g. syntax, social systems, principles of reactions, support systems, and effects of models) helps teacher students improve teaching achievement in Microteaching course by providing extra resources of experience to improve lesson plan design, teaching practice implementation, and teacher competence enhancement. This study also examines the experiences of both supervisors and teacher students in implementing the five components of the TMLM microteaching cycle. It reports that teacher students are able to design good lesson plans after participating in the TMLM microteaching cycle. It further shows the five components of the TMLM microteaching cycle aroused the teacher students' positive attitude and motivation to create and improve teaching practice during peer teaching sessions while improving their personality and social competence at the same time. This study provides a better understanding that the use of TMLM's five components in the microteaching cycle can support teacher students' teaching performance effectively in the future.
