The blended learning (BL) model eliminates the disadvantageous aspects of distance education and traditional education models and combines the beneficial elements in the light of studies in the literature to ensure higher quality and more efficient education. In this context, examining pre-service teachers' approaches to new teaching models used with technology is thought to be important. For this reason, in this study, the views of pre-service mathematics teachers on BL were examined by comparing them with distance learning (DL). The case study method, one of the qualitative research approaches, was used in this study. The study group consists of 26 senior students from a state university's primary school mathematics teaching department in Turkey's Western Black Sea Region. The data collection tool of the study was a semistructured interview form (SSIF) consisting of eight questions, each aimed at determining pre-service teachers' views on the teaching practices based on BL and DL approaches. The data analysis was made through content analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis techniques. BL and DL approaches were compared in various categories. None of the pre-service teachers expressed a negative view on the BL approach. Their views have been grouped under the time, method, motivation, attention and focus, learning and feedback, communication and interaction, access to resources, technology, and cost categories. In general, pre-service teachers found BL-based implementation more positive than DL-based one. The number of views expressed in each category for the BL approach is quite higher than that in each category for the DL approach.

Over the last decades researches have been conducted on different disciplines and in teaching English for specific purposes in different contexts, but teaching technical words for doctors in the context of Afghanistan is the newest subject. The aim of this article is to explore the needs of doctors and prepare them a course to learn English. In Afghanistan, English is used as a foreign language and it is not the medium of instruction in the class because the national languages play the key role in instruction. It is really important for the doctors to learn English in order to learn new information and should be aware about progress, especially in medical. At the same time, most of the names of drugs have been written based on English and it is necessary for them to know English in their own discipline. This paper is written based on quantitative research and Questionnaire was the tool for data collection and it was sent to doctors who were in Afghanistan, particularly. In this research, there were 50 participants and out of them 25 subjects were female. In learning English language for doctors, they wanted to memorize technical words that are very important in their daily works. They wanted to improve four skills of English language as well because they need to communicate with their colleagues. This paper ends with significance of technical words for doctors in the context of Afghanistan.

The research explores the metacognitive behaviours demonstrated by secondary school students with different mathematical achievement levels (outstanding, high, moderate and low levels of achievement) during solving a mathematical problem. The research uses a case study method and involves the participation of 36 students. The data, which were collected with the multi-method interview technique, were analysed content analysis. Considering the analyses, it was found that the students with outstanding achievement levels demonstrated more behaviours in number, by spending more time during the problemsolving process; on the other hand, students with low achievement levels demonstrated less behaviour in number by spending less time compared with the other groups. It was found that the students with outstanding, high and moderate levels of achievement demonstrated evaluation behaviours most; in contrast, students with low achievement levels had the behaviours of awareness the most during the problem-solving process. In addition, it was concluded that the groups started the process generally with a behaviour in the dimension of awareness, used the behaviours of regulation and finished the process with behaviour in the dimension of evaluation. The teacher should guide students by focusing on some behaviours respectively related to the dimensions of awareness, regulation and evaluation during solving a problem in the course.

In this study, it was aimed to determine high school students' cognitive structures regarding to the immunity, infection, allergy and autoimmunity. In this study, it was tried to reveal the cognitive structures of high school students on immunity, infection, allergy and autoimmunity just before COVID-19. The study was carried out with 77 students. The data collection tool was Words Association Test. The data collection tool was prepared separately for each stimulus word which were immunity, infection, allergy and autoimmunity. These stimulus words were chosen since these are the subthemes of the Immune system in the Turkish Secondary Biology Curriculum. Data analysis was performed for each stimulus word. The content analysis and coding of the data resulted in the categorization of the data. Considering the categories, models of the students' cognitive structures were drawn. In addition, the correlation coefficient was calculated according to the similarity between the answers given to each stimulus word. As a result, in our study, it is seen that the basic concepts of immunity, infection, allergy and autoimmunity are not predominantly structured in the minds of the students. It is worrying that basic concepts such as antibodies, passive immunity, and T cells are very rare or absent in the study.

There is a training protocol called 'FIFA 11+' recommended by the International Football Associations Association (FIFA) and the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) to football teams. This protocol is defined as a warm-up program used to prevent injuries in athletes. This program includes 3 parts. The first part consists of running exercises, the second part consists of exercises that improve strength, balance, muscle control and trunk stabilization, and the third part consists of advanced running exercises. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of the FIFA 11+ training program applied to young football players on selected parameters. In the U14 league category, 19 male football players who played licensed in an amateur football team (Age: 13.8 ± 0.05 years; Height: 167.25 ± 0.06 cm; Body weight: 57.59 ± 12.3 years) kg) participated voluntarily. Height and body weight measurement, 10-minute warm-up run and 20 m sprint test were performed on the athletes, respectively, on the 1st day. On the second day, a 10-minute warm-up run, reach and vertical jump tests were performed, respectively. After the applied tests, the athletes were randomly divided into two groups as experimental and control groups. Control group athletes applied the dynamic warm-up program determined in their routine training programs, and experimental group athletes applied the FIFA 11+ training program 2 days a week for 6 weeks in addition to their routine training programs. At the end of the 6th week, the previous measurements were made in the same way and the study was terminated. Shapiro-Wilk and T tests were used in the analysis of the data. According to the research findings; It was determined that the FIFA 11+ training program applied to the football players had a statistically significant effect on the jumping and flexibility performances of the athletes (p&lt;0.05). In addition, it was determined that the program applied had an effect on the other performance parameters of the athletes, but this was not at a significant level (p&gt;0.05). As a result; It is recommended that the FIFA 11+ training program applied to football players should be included in the training programs in order to contribute to the jumping and flexibility performances of the athletes.

It is noted that insects (insecta), which constitute an important group of invertebrate animals, can be used in the field of environmental education. It is also thought that the use of insects in the classroom in the field of environmental education will have a positive effect on the insect intrinsic motivations (BIM) of the students. In the study, within the scope of environmental education, the effect of insect workshop made with &quot;Tenebrio molitor&quot; L. epoxy metamorphosis material on insect intrinsic motivations of students was investigated. In addition, the opinions of the students about &quot;Tenebrio molitor&quot; L. epoxy metamorphosis material and insect workshop were determined. In the study, case study was used from qualitative research methods. Within the scope of the research, a semi-structured interview form and observation form were used and the qualitative data obtained were evaluated by using the content analysis method. The research was conducted in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year with a total of 10 volunteer students, three boys and seven girls, who were studying in the 8th grade of a primary school in Ankara, Turkey. In the research, an insect workshop prepared with epoxy metamorphosis materials showing the developmental stages of &quot;Tenebrio molitor&quot; L. was made. Although students have negative feelings towards insects, when they receive training about insects, it is understood that they are interested in insects, curious about them, want to learn and show interest in insect activities. It was also determined that although the students experienced disgust or fear towards insects, they wanted to make another insect material similar to the epoxy method. It shows that with similar insect workshops, the fear of insects can be reduced or even eliminated in some students. It has been determined that the insect workshop has a positive effect on the intrinsic motivation of the majority of the students. It is also understood that in the fears of insects that students have, their families and environment have a significant influence. In the research, it was seen that everyone in the families of the students who reacted most negatively experienced insect fear. From this, it is understood that the negative thoughts that students have against insects are actually due to their environment and it is thought that insect education should be given to adults.

The aim of this study is to investigate the attitudes, behaviors, communication with students, field dominance, personality traits of teachers who leave positive and negative traces in the education and training life of pre-service teachers and how these common characteristics and attitudes affect them deeply. The students stated that they never forget their teachers who left a trace and that they will take a model for themselves when they start the teaching profession. The study group of the research consists of students studying in different departments from Nigde Ömer Halisdemir University Faculty of Education in the 2021- 2022 academic year. A total of 100 students, 40 males and 60 females, participated in the study. As a result of the research, it was seen that the students like and take as an example of the teachers who show understanding and love, who are friendly, open to communication, humorous, who explain the lesson in a fluent style, make the lesson enjoyable, make a difference, inspire and especially empathize and are open to criticism. In this context, the teachers who were prescriptive and apathetic, closed to communication, authoritarian, did not use a clear and understandable language, and could not master the classroom management in the lesson, negatively affected the teacher candidates. As a result of this research, preservice teachers stated that they realized how they would make a difference and leave a mark on students when they started the teaching profession, by developing their empathy skills in line with these experiences, based on their experiences in their own education and training life.

This study aims to investigate whether or not self-esteem plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between positive schemas and psychological well-being in university students. The research, which has a correlational model, was designed on the basis of the quantitative research methodology. The study group of the research consists of 515 university students who participated in the research voluntarily and who were studying at three different state universities in the Black Sea, Eastern Anatolia, and Marmara regions of Turkey. Of these students, 384 (=74.6%) were female, and 131 (=25.4%) were male. In addition, the ages of the students in the study group ranged from 18 to 40, and the mean age was calculated as x=21.62 (SD=2.98). The research data were collected using a battery of four different measurement tools: Personal Information Form, Positive Schemas Scale, Two-Dimensional Self-Esteem Scale, and Psychological WellBeing Scale. In the analysis of the data, first of all, erroneous and/or missing data were examined, and then normality analyzes were carried out. Then, descriptive statistics and correlation analysis were performed, respectively. Finally, in line with the main problem of the research, whether self-esteem has a significant mediating role in the relationship between positive schemas and psychological well-being in university students was tested with a regression-based mediation model. The results obtained from the research revealed that all the variables discussed within the scope of the study were positively and significantly related to each other, and that self-esteem was a significant mediating variable in the relationship between positive schemas and psychological well-being in university students.
