Literary theorist and poet Kenneth Burke defines terministic screens as a rhetorical device that influences how individuals perceive and respond to a situation. They are a lens through which each individual looks at life, and are created through a person's experiences and language acquisition. The language used for one group may not be the same for another. Each word has a symbolic meaning to a person and might mean something different to another person. Terministic screens interact in a Communication Center through the setbacks and benefits of peer education. Students are all influenced by terministic screens, and consultants must implement policies including them to do their job well and keep an open mind. In the article, Olivia King analyzes how terministic screens can help and hinder peer education in communication centers, as well as, how these hinderances can be overcome.

In the summer of 2019, Peacehaven Community Farm piloted an early version of their program entitled Julian and Friends, which aimed to train four to five adults with disabilities throughout a 10 week program. The curriculum in this programming centers around communication competencies, interview preparedness, and farming-related skills given the nature of Peacehaven Community Farm. Professionals from the community are invited to speak to the participants and provide mock interviews at the beginning of the 10 weeks and again at the end of the 10 weeks to evaluate growth. Each participant has a &quot;job coach&quot; who is their designated partner to help guide them through their activities and tasks. The participants are awarded certificates of completion at the end of the program and the hope is that they are able to obtain jobs as an end result. This article examines how Speaking Center consultants by nature are equipped to be community job coaches in programming for adults with intellectual and developmental disabiltiies (IDD). In the same manner consultants are trained to lead their peers to find the answers, they are a natural fit to do this in job development curriculum for adults with IDD.

Educational games are activities that enable individuals of learning age to reinforce their knowledge by repeating what they have learned in an environment where they feel comfortable. Educational games contribute to the development of the individual in many areas as well as cognitive, affective, psycho-motor and social development. In this context, it is known that teachers have an undeniable importance in transferring educational games that have a direct effect on children's development. Therefore, this research was carried out to examine teachers' educational game playing self-efficacy. The research group consisted of a total of 300 teachers, including 100 physical education teachers, 100 preschool teachers and 100 classroom teachers. &quot;Educational Game-Playing Self-Efficacy Scale&quot; was used as a data collection tool in the research. In the analysis of the data, arithmetic mean and standard deviation techniques from descriptive statistics were used to determine the educational game playing self-efficacy of teachers. Then, the normality test of the data was carried out by applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique and the Skewness-Kurtosis coefficients. In the study, t-test was used to determine whether teachers' educational game-playing self-efficacy differed in terms of gender, and one-way analysis of variance (Anova) technique was used to determine whether it differed in terms of branch. Tukey test was used to determine the source of variance. According to the results obtained in the study, while there was no significant difference in the level of educational game-playing self-efficacy of teachers in terms of gender, there was a significant difference in terms of branch. In the examination, it was concluded that the educational game self-efficacy of physical education teachers was higher than that of preschool and classroom teachers.

This research was carried out to examine the stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being levels of individuals who regularly play tennis. The research group consisted of 450 individuals. In the study, &quot;Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale,&quot; &quot;Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory&quot; and &quot;Psychological Well-Being Scale&quot; were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data the normality test of the data was carried out by applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov technique and the Skewness-Kurtosis coefficients. T-test was used to determine whether the stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being levels of individuals differ in terms of gender variable. One-way analysis of variance (Anova) technique was used to determine whether they differed in terms of tennis playing time. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis technique was used to examine the relationship between stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being. In addition, multiple regression analysis was applied to test how stress is a predictor of anxiety, depression and psychological well-being. According to the results obtained in the study, while there was no significant difference in the levels of stress, anxiety, depression and psychological well-being in terms of the gender variable (p&gt;0.05), there was a significant difference in terms of the duration of playing tennis (p&lt;0.05). While a positive and significant relationship was observed between stress, anxiety and depression, it was observed that there was a negative significant relationship between psychological well-being and stress, anxiety and depression. It has also been found that stress is a strong predictor of anxiety, depression and psychological well-being.

In this study, the relationships between task value, self-efficacy and mathematics anxiety in everyday life in secondary school students were investigated. In addition, the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between task value and mathematics anxiety in daily life was examined. 203 secondary school students participated in the research. Data were obtained by using Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and Mathematics Anxiety Scale. The relationships between task value, self-efficacy and anxiety were examined by applying Pearson Product-Moment Correlation analysis. The mediating role of self-efficacy was tested by applying structural equation model analysis. It was determined that as the perception of task value increased, perceptions of mathematics self-efficacy increased and mathematics anxiety in everyday life decreased. It was found that as self-efficacy belief increases, mathematics anxiety in everyday life decreases. Self-efficacy has a partial mediating role in the relationship between task value and mathematics anxiety in everyday life. In order to reduce mathematics anxiety in everyday life, students can be provided with successful experiences in mathematics, while making them feel that mathematics is important and useful.

The place where this study was conducted is named as Woodland due to the ethical considerations. Fourteen instructors working at Woodland participated in this study. The data was collected by means of documents, both focus group and individual semi-structured interviews and observation notes. Based on the results, teacher-talk and self-reflection, peer-coaching, peer-evaluation, research presentations, seminars, teacher network and student evaluation were obtained as the components of the program. Moreover, for the views of the instructors, needs for improvement, eagerness to participate, supportive participation, learning-based components and mutual understanding have emerged as the categories. It is predicted that the components that emerged as a result of this study may not only serve as a guide for in-service training practices in English as a foreign language (EFL) institutions, but also support different experiences and efforts in this regard.
