The aim of this study is to conduct a validity and reliability study for adaptation of the scale of learning strategies (the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire) to Turkish, which was developed by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia and McKeachie (1991) and adapted by Meijs et al. (2019) for distance education students. The Scale of Learning Strategies for Distance Education Students is a scale consisting of 25 items and 5 factors (management of time and effort, complex cognitive strategies use, simple cognitive strategies use, communication with others, and academic thinking). After testing equivalance of Turkish form, the validity and reliability studies of the Scale of Learning Strategies for Distance Education Students were conducted with participation of 411 students studying in different departments of Kocaeli University in the fall semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) method was used for the adaptation of the scale, the significance of the differences between item average scores of the groups over and below 27% were examined with Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients, corrected item-total correlations, and t-test in order to determine the relability. As a result of normality test and first CFA, the 2nd and 6th items in the time and effort management sub-dimension were excluded from the scale in accordance with expert opinions due to fact that their standardized regression coefficients were not significant (p&gt;0.05). When the fit indices were examined as a result of the analysis, the findings were as follows X[superscript 2]/sd =2.594, RMSEA= 0.064, SRMR= 0.0616, GFI= 0.894, NFI= 0.879, TLI= 0.908, CFI= 0.921 and IFI=0,922. The corrected total correlations of the scale items ranged between 0.37 and 0.68. The results of t-test applied to the scores of the groups over and below 27% were found to be significant for all items. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the reliability of the overall scale was calculated as 0.915. Reliability for sub dimensions: Management of time and effort [alpha]=0,69; Complex cognitive strategy use [alpha]= 0,82; Simple cognitive strategy use [alpha]=0,87; Contacts with others [alpha]=0,76; Academic thinking [alpha]=0,88. A significant correlation was determined between the sub-dimensions of the scale and between the subdimensions and the total. According to these findings, adaption of the scale to Turkish is valid and reliable.

The present study adapted the &quot;questionnaire of Internet use motives&quot; (MUI) into Turkish based on data collected from 638 adults. Results showed that the Turkish version of the MUI has a high internal consistency ([alpha]= 0.88) along with convergent and discriminant validity. The confirmatory factor analysis results supported the five-factor structure of the original MUI. Internet Addiction Test Short Form (IAT-SF) was used to test concurrent validity. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between the MUI and IAT-SF (r= 0.83), suggesting that individuals having higher levels of MUI may also tend to have higher levels of Internet addiction. The findings indicated that the adapted scale is a reliable and valid instrument to measure motives for Internet use in the Turkish population.

Today's children are born and raised in media-saturated environments, surrounded by televisions, computers, tablets, smartphones, and other portable electronic devices. Because these devices have become an indispensable part of everyday life, they have a significant influence on children's entertainment and leisure, as well as their education. This study, therefore, examined the media environment in young children's homes (from 0 to 6 years of age), how early and how much they use television, computers, and tablet/smartphones, and the media environment in their homes and the parents' rules and regulations for their children's electronic media use. The sample for this study consisted of 412 parents of 0- to 6-year-old children who brought their children to the Social Paediatrics Department of the Faculty of Medicine in Ankara, Turkey, for developmental check-ups. The data for this study were collected through a questionnaire that was prepared by the researcher. The findings indicate that almost all children live in homes with different types of electronic media devices and they start to use them at an early age with longer time than recommended and parents try to use some rules in order to regulate their children's usage.

We evaluated two procedures to teach auditory-visual conditional discriminations (receptive labeling) to children with autism. The procedures evaluated a modified Structured Mix (SM) procedure and a modified Counterbalanced Random Rotation (RR) procedure. The modified SM procedure was based on the logic of simplifying the task by breaking it down into smaller, successive steps and by requiring mastery of each step before introducing the next. Compared to previous studies, the modified SM procedure contained fewer steps, less prompting, and a less stringent mastery criterion. The modified RR procedure targeted all three stimuli simultaneously by presenting them across consecutive trials, both during training and error correction. Sample stimuli were presented in a counterbalanced random order and the comparison stimuli were presented in counterbalanced random positions. Participants were nine children with autism. An adapted alternating treatments design was used. Results showed that the modified SM procedure was more efficient for four of the nine participants, the modified RR procedure was more efficient for one of the nine participants, both procedures were equally efficient for two participants, and neither procedure was effective for two of the nine participants. The modified SM procedure appeared more efficient than the SM procedure employed in previous studies. Despite results, further research is warranted to examine within subject comparisons between original discrimination training procedures and modified procedures.

A specific feature of the organization of education during wartime is the creation of a modern educational environment for the harmonious development of students in conditions of war. The substantiation of ways of developing qualities, values and competences of primary school students is important for solving a number of contradictions between the quality training of students to be competitive in the process of building labour relations at age stages, and the insufficient level of their real preparation for productive activities. There is also a contradiction between a significant volume of promising information in the conditions of rapidly changing technologies and unadjusted educational environment to innovative changes in terms of its analysis and use. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the Moodle platform on the academic performance of primary schoolers under martial law. The aim was achieved through the use of the following methods: questionnaire survey, testing, methods of statistical analysis. It was found that the introduction of the modernized curriculum in the Moodle platform had a positive effect on the academic performance of the students of the experimental group (EG) compared to the students who used the traditional platform. The crosswords, interactive assignments, as well as animated videos in case of correct completion of tests were also added to encourage students to complete additional assignments after the lesson. This also affected the positive result of the final stage of testing. A promising direction for further research may be the development of interactive tasks for primary schoolers to better assimilate the material they have learned.

In German primary schools, natural sciences and social studies are learned and taught in an integrative manner within a subject called Sachunterricht. To teach Sachunterricht in a high-quality manner, it is reasonable to assume that primary school teachers themselves require-- among other things, such as knowledge about pedagogy, teaching Sachunterricht, and the various content areas of Sachunterricht--a distinct interest, academic self-concept, and sense of belonging regarding natural and social sciences. Furthermore, they should possess a solid interdisciplinary competence that enables them to teach natural and social sciences in an integrative way. In the present study, we conducted a longitudinal survey of pre-service primary school teachers from a German university over a period of 2 years to investigate the changes in their (self-evaluated) interdisciplinary competence; the changes in their interest, academic self-concept, and sense of belonging regarding natural and social sciences; and the correlations between these constructs. Our data analysis revealed a decrease over time in participants' sense of belonging to natural and social sciences, as well as their (self-evaluated) interdisciplinary competence, while their academic self-concept in natural and social sciences remained stable. Participants' interest in social sciences decreased, while their interest in natural sciences increased. Moreover, we found varying degrees of correlation between these constructs. In summary, the results of the present study provide important insights into the professional development of pre-service primary school teachers within university-based teacher education for teaching natural and social sciences in primary school. The implications of these findings are discussed in detail at the end of this paper.

Reading is one of the main skills to be learned and used in schools and through the entire life of an individual. Its crucial importance made reading one of the central topics in different academic disciplines such as education, psychology, linguistic and neuroscience. Advances in multidisciplinary approaches to and studies of reading gave us the reason to talk about the science of reading. Improvement in research into reading during the last century reveals the fact that different approaches emphasized the importance of partially different aspects of reading skills. Different approaches presented sound arguments for different priorities in teaching and learning of reading. For some decades ago strong dichotomic arguments were so sharp that in the United States the reading literature talked about 'the reading wars'. During the recent decades, the debate of reading and approaches to reading, reading skills and reading processes have changed. Studies of reading presented different arguments for partially different priorities. The Reading Teacher (RT) has for many decades been the one of the most important arenas for the presentation of new findings, ideas, arguments, and trends. Our present corpus-based study captured the frequent collocations and their usage in the RT publications -- 952 articles comprising 3 548 008 words - during the last decade, 2012-2021. TreeTagger was used for part-of-speech tagging and CQPWeb/CWB framework was employed as the corpus interface in the analysis process. The findings clearly revealed that &quot;reading comprehension&quot; was the most frequently used collocation, and it has never weakened its position in the RT publications in the last decade. While instructional activities and processes like 'shared reading', 'during reading', 'while reading', and 'after reading' were given considerable attention, 'before reading' was almost forgotten. Findings also show that linguistic diversity among students, particularly in the US, also made an impact on the emerging of new topics and thus frequency of concepts like bilingual, multilingual, translanguaging, and coaching. Findings related to the ascending and descending trends reading collocations in RT publications regarding other aspects of reading, teaching of reading, and reading processes are discussed and some ideas for future research are presented.

This study aims to examine teachers' perceptions of technological efficacy and job satisfaction and the relationships between them from a holistic perspective according to teachers' views. Within the scope of the research, a study was conducted on 293 teachers selected from the central districts of Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan, by the convenience sampling method. &quot;Technology Self-Efficacy&quot; and &quot;Minnesota Job Satisfaction&quot; scales developed by Wang, Ertmer and Newby (1999) were used to measure teachers' self-efficacy perceptions towards technology. The study showed that teachers' internal job satisfaction was high, external job satisfaction, general job satisfaction, and technological competence perceptions were moderate. Teachers' job satisfaction varies according to gender and professional seniority. The internal job satisfaction of female teachers was found to be high; however, it was concluded that as professional seniority increased, external job satisfaction increased. In the study, it was concluded that teachers' perceptions of technological efficacy decrease with increasing seniority. In addition, male teachers' perceptions of technological efficacy were higher than their female colleagues. Finally, the study found significant relationships between teachers' technological competencies and job satisfaction.

The aim of the research is to analyze the technological addiction of middle and high school students in the context of swimming, by examining variables such as gender, school level, attitudes towards swimming, and participation in swimming. The study was carried out utilizing causal-comparative and correlational research methodologies. Study's target population comprises middle and high school students enrolled in Medan during the academic year of 2022-2023. The study's sample comprises 268 students, with 126 females and 146 males, who were selected from the population through convenience sampling. Technology Addiction Scale (TAS), Swimming Participation Scale (SPS) and Attitude Scale Towards Swimming (STS) were used as data collection tool. Study employed the independent samples t-test method to examine the potential differences in technology addiction, swimming attitude, and participation scores among students based on gender, school level, and regular sports participation variables. The study employed Pearson's moment product-moment correlation coefficient and regression analysis methods to examine the associations among students' technology dependence, swimming attitudes, and participation scores. According to the results, a significant difference was found between the technological addiction scores of the students who regularly do swimming and those who do not. Moreover, there wasn't significant difference between genders in swimming attitude and swimming participation scores. The higher levels of technological addiction observed among high school students compared to middle school students in the domains of instant messaging and overall technological addiction. The significant and negative relationships between attitude towards swimming, participation in swimming, and technological addiction emphasize the potential function of swimming as a protective factor against addictive behaviors.
&quot;Bildung&quot; to &quot;dannelse&quot;: A Historical Analysis of an Educational Concept in Motion from Fichte&apos;s &quot;Addresses to the German Nation&quot; to Grundtvig&apos;s &quot;Nordic Mythology,&quot; 1808-1832

This conceptual research analyses the historical development of the German concept of &quot;Bildung&quot; to the Danish &quot;dannelse.&quot; The starting point is J.G. Fichte's 1808 &quot;Addresses to the German Nation,&quot; in which &quot;Bildung&quot; is analyzed as a key concept. The paper illustrates the influence Fichte had on N.F.S. Grundtvig, the &quot;father of modern Denmark,&quot; with important adaptations based on English liberties and Nordic mythology. Grundtvig's &quot;dannelse&quot; is then analyzed based on his 1832 &quot;milestone&quot; work, &quot;Nordic Mythology.&quot; The paper finds that &quot;Bildung&quot; and &quot;dannelse&quot; can be considered parallel concepts of similarity in their shared emphasis on the mother-tongue as a &quot;living language,&quot; and focus on social cohesion. However, &quot;Bildung&quot; and &quot;dannelse&quot; can also be characterized as concepts of difference, in that: 1) &quot;dannelse&quot; popularized &quot;Bildung,&quot; meaning that it was not just for the academic bourgeoisie, but the entire &quot;folk&quot;; 2) freedom of expression is fundamental to &quot;dannelse,&quot; in contrast to the stability of will and moral order in &quot;Bildung;&quot; 3) in &quot;dannelse,&quot; national unity is expanded to a wider circle of belonging, the whole of humankind; 4) Nordic mythology is a social cohesive in &quot;dannelse,&quot; to contrast Fichte's more rational conception of &quot;Bildung.&quot; Written by a British author for an English-speaking readership, this research does not feign to be more than a prefatory glance at two rich and complex concepts. However, in shedding light on the historical development of &quot;Bildung&quot; to &quot;dannelse,&quot; it aspires to edge readers closer toward a shared conceptual understanding or, more aptly, to better understand misunderstandings.

In Chinese philosophy, scholars have been discussing a long-standing and unresolved matter (Fan, 2019; Lupke, 2005; Wu, 2009), namely Ming[character omitted]. Ming, often translated as life, fate, or command, was initially understood as orders and arrangements from heaven (Fan, 2019). However, since the Kongzi (Confucius) period, the focus of Ming[character omitted] has shifted to people themselves and how they should live their lives. Furthermore, Ming[character omitted] has been recognized by people as human life as well as the survival of one's life journey. In the contemporary age, the concept of Ming[character omitted] has shifted again. It ensures that people, instead of the predetermined power of nature and its kind, have most of the ability to decide how to live their lives. The study of Ming[character omitted] has thus become one of the essential philosophical fields for Chinese and international thinkers, and academic researchers, to explore the question of heaven and human existence. In this paper, the analysis of four texts throughout Chinese history will serve as a simple reflective example of the difficulties of interpretation, revealing the evolving meaning of the concept and its pedagogical implications.
