Considering the possibilities and limitations of distance education, it is important to create distance education systems that can benefit the physical education lessons at the highest level and to transform it into more qualified ones. Therefore, the aim of this study is to understand the distance education problems in the teaching of the physical education lesson and the participation and orientation of the secondary school students, to investigate the developments related to the physical education lesson and to make a situation assessment. The participants of the study are secondary school students (n = 403) who were educated in Private Schools that provide synchronous education in pandemic process and have &quot;morning sports&quot; or &quot;physical education lessons&quot; in their curriculum. As a data collection tool, a closed-ended questionnaire consisting of 15 questions was used. It was determined that there is a statistically significant difference between students' level of participation in sports lessons and all other variables (p &lt; 0.001). As a result, it was seen that families and students did not have the habit of doing sports at the desired level in normal time. It suggests that there are some problems in the processing and application of this course. While the lesson is expected to become much more important, especially in this dormant and inactive period, it is not an expected situation to receive this level of interest.

This study examined the relationship between preschool teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and their teaching attitudes. In the study, it was considered whether preschool teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and their teaching attitudes change in terms of certain variables. The research was carried out using a correlational survey model. The target population of the study is the preschool teachers working in Küçükçekmece district, Istanbul Province, in the 2017-2018 academic year. The working group consists of 264 preschool teachers working at the schools in said district. The following assessment instruments were used in the research: &quot;Personal Information Form,&quot; &quot;Preschool Teachers' Self-efficacy Beliefs Scale,&quot; to identify preschool teachers' self-efficacy beliefs and 'Preschool Teachers' Teaching Attitudes Scale' to determine the teachers' attitudes. The obtained data were analyzed using Pearson multiplication moment correlation analysis, and Regression analysis was performed to determine the level of self-efficacy beliefs of preschool teachers affecting teaching attitudes. Preschool teachers were found to have full self-efficacy beliefs in the teaching-learning process, communication skills, planning, and regulation of learning environments and classroom management, and firm self-efficacy beliefs in family participation. Teachers' attitudes of preschool teachers were found to be democratic at the highest level, followed by autocratic and laissez-faire at the lowest level. As a result of the regression analysis made to determine the level of the effect of self-efficacy beliefs of preschool teachers on their teaching attitudes, the learning and teaching process positively predicts democratic teaching attitudes and negatively predicts laissez-faire attitudes.

Bologna process is a framework that commenced in 1999, aiming at making the higher education systems of countries more attractive. While many studies have been carried out on undergraduate and graduate levels, the studies on associate degree are scarce. This study is aimed at investigating the current state of associate degree child development programs within the context of Bologna process according to the opinions of academicians who are internal stakeholders. The research method is descriptive scanning. The academians working at programs make up the environment of the research. The opinions of the academicians are obtained by the researcher by using &quot;Scale of Child Development Programs in Bologna Process&quot; formed by taking the suggestions of the specialists on the field. Approximately half of the academians that participated in the research stated that they had not attended to any official informative catch-up work. It appears that the academicians that had not attended to any informing procedure had more negative or undecided opinions about Bologna process than the academicians that attended to the procedure. According to working life, gender and the type of vocational college, a significant difference existed especially in quality dimension. It is concluded that the weakest fields of Associate degree Child Development Programs related to Bologna Process are teaching staff and student mobility, quality and social dimensions.

The 21st century education engages students to have higher order thinking and scientific literacy skills. However, these abilities in Indonesia are still relatively low, especially students' scientific literacy skills. One solution to the problem of low scientific literacy skills in Indonesia is the application of STEM education. However, as technology advances pursued in STEM education, religious and cultural sciences increasingly separate themselves from science. Cultural science is rarely implemented in learning so that many students do not know their own culture. The contra between science and religion also makes students' perception of religion and science are two independent knowledge and cannot be united. Through literature studies that have been carried out from various journal article search sites, this article discusses how important religious and cultural sciences are to be implemented into STEM education. The relationship between religion and science, culture and science, culture and religion and the urgency of religion and culture in STEM education are also discussed in this article. The results of this study propose solutions so that science education can be implemented with RE-STEM learning to overcome the gap between religion, culture and science. So, that students will have a more balanced knowledge in religion, ethnoscience and science from RE-STEM integration.

Although many practicing teachers have not experienced teacher preparation programs that teach cyber security (Pusely &amp; Sadera, 2011) or are familiar with cyber principles (Authors), embedding these ideas into instruction in a variety of content areas is essential for promoting cyber literacy and citizenship. This study explores a professional development program that provided middle and high school teachers across disciplines with opportunities to explore, first as learners and then as educators, cyber citizenship and programming concepts with explicit connections to the cybersecurity principles and concepts. Participating teachers experienced inquiry-based learning, focused classroom discourse, and collaborative learning that centered on GenCyber Cybersecurity First Principles and GenCyber Cybersecurity Concepts (GenCyber, 2019). Results indicated the professional development enabled teachers to iteratively reflect on best practices in cyber education while learning and applying the content of GenCyber Principles within the context of their own field of study.

People have several different reasons to learn a foreign language; people often learn a language for practical reasons while others have a particular love for the language and its people. Language teachers are often very aware of the career benefits that language proficiency can offer, but learning the language is just an abstract undertaking needed for an academic degree to many language learners. Motivation and management of our own behaviour are necessary for effective learning. It is not easy, for example, to lose weight or quit smoking. Nonetheless, many people do well, lose weight and quit smoking because they are motivated to accomplish a particular goal. The purpose of learning is to find and apply the most effective way. If a teacher has a strong methodology and motivation, he will achieve his goal. The primary duty of the teacher is to give his students adequate encouragement. People do not learn a subject with their brains alone; other factors are also involved. Motivational factors make the learner more receptive to new information. Students do not learn in the same way. Different students learn in different ways; some students learn by listening, some by writing and some by actively speaking. If a teacher adopts the same method for all students, then some students will not be able to learn anything. In order to keep students interested in learning, students must be motivated by the teacher.

This study aims to categorize the scenarios designed on socio-scientific issues (SSIs) by prospective teachers who participated in an SSI-based instructional practice and to analyze these scenarios in terms of representing the nature of science (NOS) components. Sample of the study comprised SSI scenarios written by 30 third-year prospective science teachers enrolled at a public university in spring semester of 2018-2019 academic year. These scenarios were created during SSI-based instruction when half of the participants were assigned to the environment group and the other half to the genetics group. A total of 30 SSI scenarios were analyzed through the document analysis method. In the analysis of SSI scenarios, two different analyses were employed. In the first analysis, whether objective/positive/negative information balance was ensured across scenarios was examined. In the second analysis, scenarios were analyzed in terms of NOS representation attempts, consistency of these attempts and NOS representation scores. The later analysis included the empirical, tentative, inferential, theory-laden, creative and socio-cultural NOS components. At the end of the analyses, it was found that participants had trouble in differentiating SSIs from scientific issues. SSIs on which participants prepared scenarios varied, scenarios created by participants in the environment group were prepared with negative information whereas scenarios in the genetics group were in a balanced manner; and of the scenarios created by the two groups, the component with the highest percentage of consistent attempts was the empirical NOS whilst the component with the lowest percentage of consistent attempts was theory-laden NOS. Based on these findings, it was deduced that the SSI scenarios were not generally written in a well-balanced manner in terms of information types and there was a general trend of compatibility between the NOS representation scores and percentages of consistent attempts of two groups. Based on the results, a number of recommendations were proposed.
