    Rethinking Principles of School Mathematics during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Multiple-Case Study on Higher Education Courses Related to Teaching Mathematics
    (2021) Yilmaz, Aysenur; Kostur, Merve
    The study was carried out with prospective teachers (PTs) in Primary School Teaching Program in a private university (n=43) and Middle School Mathematics Teaching program in a public university (n=46). In this paper, multiple-case study was adopted to explore PTs' opinions and to reveal the differences between two universities in terms of taking a mathematics education course through online teaching when the COVID-19 pandemic was very first appeared. The content of the course was based on the principles of school mathematics which were put forth by National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM]. Hence, the principles were used as the themes in the data analysis. For this purpose, a survey was used to explore the advantages and the challenges faced in online teaching from the PTs' perspective. The analysis of the data showed that the PTs at both universities had both positive and opposing views towards online mathematics education course as mandated by the pandemic. Besides, the technology principle in NCTM was found to be a principle in which the other principles were organized and applied according to it. PTs' reflections on the learning and teaching principles in practice were at the forefront. The reflections regarding the assessment and the equity principle were not among the principles that were frequently mentioned. Discussion on and suggestions for overcoming the challenges were elaborated on.

    Parents' Shares On Instagram In The Early Days Of The COVID-19 Pandemic
    (2022) Er, Suhendan; Yilmazturk, Nergis Hazal; Ozgul, Tuba; Cok, Figen
    Many people had to stay at home with their families during the pandemic because of social distancing guidelines and lockdowns. This study aims to explore the content of 'sharenting' of parents during the early COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine periods in Turkey. In total, 401 posts were collected from public Instagram accounts of parents who shared their own children's photos or videos between 18th30th April 2020, via the most commonly used hashtags of #korona (#corona) and #evdekal (# stayhome). Descriptive content analysis was conducted within identified categories. Results revealed that the popular hashtag #stayathome is particularly important for its optimistic representation of the lockdown process in society. Content analysis results show that with the inclusion of social media shares, family members spent more time together, which can be seen as one of the positive consequences of this period. In the results of continued sharenting during the early pandemic, children's faces were mainly kept visible, which might concern children's privacy. Additionally, mothers shared more during this period. Consequently, education to increase awareness of such concepts gains importance, especially for the well-being and privacy of children and any future implications.

    Top Managers' Organizational Change Management Capacity and Their Strategic Leadership Levels at Ministry of National Education (MoNE)
    (2019) Coban, Omur; Ozdemir, Servet; Pisapia, John
    Purpose: The purpose of the study was to identify the relationship between strategic leadership levels of top managers that work in MoNE and their organizational change management capacity. Research Methods: In the study, a quantitative research design was employed during data collection and the analysis phases. The population of the study was consisted of head workers, educational experts, MoNE specialist assistants, unit managers, teachers working at the head organization of MoNE, and department heads. The data were collected by reaching the all units of the population so in this study, "census" was done. Findings: It was seen that there was a highly positive relation between the strategic leadership levels of top managers and their organizational change management capacity. It was also found that the subcategories of the SLQ were the meaningful predictors of all subcategories of the OCMQ. Implications for Research and Practice: It was seen that top managers in MoNE could not indicate strategic leadership attitudes during the organizational change management. Moreover, it was found out that top managers in MoNE were managing directors, they were not technical managers or transformative managers. MoNE should build the capacity of top managers on organizational change management. (C) 2019 Ani Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved

    Can Computerized Adaptive Testing Work in Students' Admission to Higher Education Programs in Turkey?
    (2017) Berberoglu, Giray; Kalender, Ilker
    Admission into university in Turkey is very competitive and features a number of practical problems regarding not only the test administration process itself, but also concerning the psychometric properties of test scores. Computerized adaptive testing (CAT) is seen as a possible alternative approach to solve these problems. In the first phase of the study, a series of CAT simulations based on real students' responses to science items were conducted in order to determine which test termination rule produced more comparable results with scores made on the paper and pencil version of the test. An average of 17 items was used to terminate the CAT administration for a reasonable reliability level as opposed to the normal 45 items. Moreover, CAT based science scores not only produced similar correlations when using mathematics subtest scores as an external criterion, but also ranked the students similarly to the paper and pencil test version. In the second phase, a live CAT administration was implemented using an item bank composed of 242 items with a group of students who had previously taken the exam the paper and pencil version of the test. A correlation of.76 was found between the CAT and paper and pencil scores for this group. The results seem to support the CAT version of the subtests as a feasible alternative approach in Turkey's university admission system.
