By 2017, French higher education had undergone a dramatic restructuration following the Bologna process twenty years earlier which impact all the European universities (Rüegg, 2010), and the implementation of the French LRU in 2007 (Stavrou, 2017). Some studies examined this new model's effect on university academics through international or european comparative approaches (Musselin, 2008 ; Tiechler, Höhle, 2013). A decade after the French LRU, our particular focus concerns the activity of women with children like in others organizations (Bercot, 2014). The associate professors have to overcome in a very competitive context where the time management is a real challenge as the 3 coordinators at different levels in the faculty point it out. At first, an extensive survey (1409 returned questionnaires) shows that women are significantly more concern than men by these constraints. Then, in a qualitative approach, some 28 biographical interviews identify the different strategies women find.

The ability of change of direction quickly, in other words agility, and short distance sprinting speed are two of the most important performance components for football referees. The tests used by FIFA and UEFA such as Cooper Test, Yo-Yo Intermittent Test, 40 × 75 m tests do not include testing the agility skills of the referees. However, especially the field referees changing their activities constantly. Otherwise, the short distance sprinting is another important factor to well positioning of the football referees. Especially, the assistant referees frequently performs short sprints to follow the offside line. For these reasons, we have compared 5 m, 10 m, 30 m sprint tests, T-Test, Arrowhead Agility Test and Illinois Agility Test scores of the football referees working in Ankara (City referees). All referees performed sprint tests twice and performed the agility tests one time. All tests have shown normal distribution frequencies. Our results showed that all of the six tests have shown positive correlations between (P&lt;0,01). Additively, it could be said that the agility skill has a relationship with short distance sprinting because of the referees who showed better sprint performances were also found to have higher agility scores. Consequently, each of the 5 m, 10 m, 30 m, T-Test, Arrowhead and Illinois Agility Test could be used to assess the performance of the referees.

This study was carried out to investigate the relationship among the hand, eye, and ear lateralizations and the sense of rhythm of the athletes randomly selected from different sport branches. A total of 115 elite athletes including 72 males (62.6%) and 43 females (37.4%) whose mean age was 22.3 ± 2.4 years and who receive training at different departments of the Faculty of Sports Sciences, Ataturk University were included in the study. Hand preference was assessed based on the Geschwind score by applying Edinburgh Inventory test. The dominant eye was tested by the Dolman Method (hole-in-the-card test). Hearing durations were measured using 128 Hz diapason and digital chronometer. The rhythm perception and application skills were assessed considering the rhythmic answers given practically to the rhythm patterns previously prepared by the researcher. As for the handedness of the athletes, 16.5% of them were left-handed (n = 19), 7.8% (n = 9) were two-handed, and 75.7% (n = 87) were right-handed. While 18.3% (n = 21) had good hearing durations with left ear, and 13.9% (n = 16) had good hearing durations with right ear, 67.8% (n = 78) had very close hearing durations with two ears. While left eye of 41.7% (n = 48) was dominant, the right eye of 58.3% (n = 67) was dominant. According to the rhythm perception and application test results, 46.1% of the athletes were weak (n = 53), 30.4% at the midlevel (n = 35), 13.9% (n = 16) good, and 9.6% (n = 11) at very good level. No significant relationship was found between the eye and ear lateralization of the athletes and their rhythm perception and application skills; however, it was found that the sense of rhythm of the left-handed individuals was better than the right-handed ones with respect to the handedness.

A teacher should be just and compassionate to be a good teacher. If there is weakness in these two, what a pity for those children who are trained by that teacher! Because one of the biggest diseases of this time is that mercilessness and unjustness are the raising trends. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mercy levels of the classroom teachers in terms of different variables. The study was conducted on 227 classroom teachers, 132 females and 95 males, working in Agri Province, Turkey in 2017. In the study, the Compassion Scale (CS) developed by Pommier (2011) and adapted to Turkish by Seher Akdeniz and Mehmet Engin Deniz was applied to the teachers. A statistical program was used to analyze the data. Frequency distribution to determine demographic characteristics, t test to analyze the relationship between compassion level and two independent variables, and ANOVA variant analysis to analyze the relationship between compassion level and variables more than two were used in the analyses of the data. The difference between the variables was interpreted on the basis of p0.05 significance level. According to the findings, it was determined that there is a significant difference between the level of compassion of the teachers and the gender, the settlement they work in, and their term of office. It was determined that the mean scores of male teachers were higher than the female teachers in the dimensions of indifference, disconnection and intercourse in the sub-dimensions of compassion level, the mean scores of the teachers working in the village in the sub-dimension of being aware of the sharing is higher than the teachers working in the city, and the mean scores of the teachers with 6-10 years of period of office is higher than those with 16 years of period of office in the sub-dimension of being aware of the sharing and the mean scores of the teachers with 5 years and below of period of office is higher than those with 6-10 years of period of office in the sub-dimension of disengagement. It can be recommended that increasing the compassion levels of the teachers in social and school life will have a positive effect on their relationships with students. It is also of higher importance to analyze other variables which are thought to positively affect compassion.

During student development, enriching academic and psychosocial activities in accordance with different educational needs of students is important. This study aims to identify primary school teachers' opinions in Turkey, Czech Republic, Italy, and Germany. The opinions of teachers were investigated and compared on the individual skills, interests, intelligence, and abilities of students in the inclusive education environment with talented and gifted students. Moreover, methods, techniques and strategies they implemented in behavioral management, development and the bonding of the students to each other were analyzed. The study is a descriptive qualitative research. Layered sampling was used from the purpose sampling methods. The study group consisted of 248 elementary school teachers. In data analysis, content analysis was used. To ensure validity and reliability of the study, the coder reliability coefficient, the expert opinion, the confirmability strategy techniques were used. In Czech Republic, Turkey and Italy the teaching dimension for determining the students' interests, abilities and intelligence was emphasized, while Germany the dimensions of co-operation with parents and stakeholders was highlighted. Teachers participating in the development of positive behavior prioritised the communication process, stimulating educational activities in the management of unwanted behavior and the bonding of students with each other. Teachers' educational effectiveness-based responses in relation to the management of students' interests, skills and intelligence, development and behaviour revealed that teachers cannot parse the approaches that correspond to different problem areas. It was observed that there were not enough applications to contribute to the psychosocial development of students with different developmental characteristics.

Evidence has been provided about the importance of avoiding American Psychological Association (APA) errors in the abstract, body, reference list, and table sections of empirical research articles. Specifically, authors are significantly more likely to have their manuscripts rejected for publication if they fail to avoid APA violations--and, thus, do not write with discipline--in these sections. In addition to adhering to APA, writing with discipline also includes avoiding communication vagueness. Thus, I analyzed communication vagueness in the literature review section of 71 manuscripts submitted to the journal &quot;Research in the Schools&quot; over a 3-year period. Findings revealed that the frequency of communication vagueness differed in relation to the following: (a) number of APA errors, (b) gender of lead author, (c) genre of manuscript, and (d) adjudication decisions. In particular, certain communication vagueness categories were statistically significant and practically significant predictors of whether or not a manuscript is rejected for publication by the editor. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Concerns about women educational leaders, their performance within primary schools, their approaches to leadership, including the hindrances experienced in the school headship have received few if any attention in Côte d'Ivoire. This paper analyses how women principals lead their schools and contribute to the schools' advancement in challenging situations that stand in their ways. The authors used a qualitative approach to collect data through in-depth semi-structural interviews with five female principals in Ivorian elementary schools. Findings showed that women influence directly teachers' commitment and indirectly students' learning process as well, particularly those who have learning difficulties. Data also revealed that these female used to create an environment and academic support that gives attention to children, as these learning conditions are similar to that of their actual life at home. Based on the findings, we assumed that women leadership could be a significant contribution to students' learning course, which in turn positively influence the school improvement. That is even consistent with the literature, which remains constant in the assertion that women leaders own some abilities, such as being caring, attentive, patient. In this regard, educational practitioners, policy makers and stakeholders should pay more attention to women primary school principals for empowering them to display their know-how, expertise and talent useful for the students' learning process. That seems a possible backup for Ivorian education system to reduce the low academic achievement and enhance schools' performance.

The necessity to develop independence among future primary school teachers during the process of studying in higher education institutions is substantiated. The essentials of independence notion are disclosed as efforts of students aimed at reaching the goals single-handedly. The results of the ascertaining experiment on defining the level of self-organisation expertise maturity confirm the necessity to develop conscientious attitude towards the process of mastering the knowledge, expertise, skills and primary experience in professional sphere. The results of the ascertaining experiment reveal the following: 21 students from 30 second-year students (major in Primary Education) while solving a case task represented by a problem situation substantiate their solution on the basis of empirical experience, not on the theoretical knowledge. Consequently, it is relevant to train future primary school teachers to organise their own learning activity. Interactive learning methods are suggested to solve the problem of independence development among the future primary school teachers. Pedagogical conditions of efficient interactive learning forms in higher education institutions are substantiated and it launches the development mechanism for such personality feature as independence.

The publication in 2015 of new international school library guidelines was the culmination of a two-year process involving a wide network of contributors. The process was guided by the Joint Committee of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA) School Libraries Section and the International Association of School Librarianship (IASL). The new guidelines remain grounded in and consistent with principles expressed in the 1999 IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto. The &quot;IFLA School Library Guidelines,&quot; 2nd edition, interpret in practical terms those foundational principles and reflect current research, practice, and conditions of 21st-century school librarianship. The second edition of the &quot;IFLA School Library Guidelines&quot; meant to apply to school libraries of many different kinds, and the importance of local context is addressed frequently throughout the document. All school libraries, regardless of context or placement in developed or developing countries, exist on a continuum of practice. Regardless of the context, ultimately school libraries embody the basic concept expressed in the &quot;IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto&quot; of &quot;teaching and learning for all.&quot; The guidelines have no force of law, only the force of persuasion or inspiration, and they need to be implemented nationally and locally through legislation and through professional practice. It is possible that the international guidelines will inspire the development of national or regional standards and/or legislation where none exists at present. &quot;The IFLA School Library Guidelines&quot; will need to be updated in the future. As the current educational environment continues to evolve, school libraries will evolve to address the challenges of educating current and future generations. The leaders within IFLA and IASL have a well established pattern of collaboration and a shared commitment to keeping our guidelines relevant to our rapidly changing learning environments: These school library guidelines envision a world of inclusion, equity of opportunity and social justice. They will be implemented in the context of the 21st century, characterized by change, mobility, and interconnection across different levels and sectors. (IFLA 2015, 13)
