The Comparison of Preschool Teachers’ and Parents’ Views about Determined Character Traits of Children Hakan Sariçam hakan.saricam@dpu.edu.tr Ayşe Duran The year of preschool is an important period in terms of acquiring of basic character traits. During these years, the foundation of character is development with the help of education. It is a fact that the character education starts in the family and it continues with preschool education in a formal way. For this reason, the parallel education of family and schools is significant for the development of children’s character. In this direction, the examination of view of preschool teachers and parents make a major contribution to the embodiment of character education programs. The aim of this study is the comparison of preschool teachers’ and parents’ views about the determined character traits of children. This study was done with the comparison method of survey model and the participation of the research is 78 teachers and 79 parents during the education year of 2013-2014. The data of study was collected by a questionnaire form developed by the researchers and it supports to take of teacher’ and parent’ views about the children’ character traits, listed as ‘ courage, honesty, respectful to other people, kindness, sharer, collaboration, respectful to environment, being patient, responsibility, determined, peaceful and warm- heartedness’. The analysis of this study was done with SPSS 17.0 program. According to the results, teachers and parents have the same view about ‘honesty, respectful to others, kindness, respectful to environment, responsibility, peaceful and warm-heartedness’ and they show difference in the view of ‘courage, collaboration, being patient, determined and sharer’. The results also show that parents take the primarily responsibility of development of their children’s character in themselves. In addition, teachers have different opinions about the role of parents in the development of character traits of children.

To achieve the target of these objectives; children should be in environments where those with all kinds of differences are accepted and they feel that they are loved. For this reason, level of serving for the purpose of children’s homes has become an object of curiosity. In this regard, the aim of the research is to examine the relationship between attitudes of the staff of children’s homes of loving children and accepting them with their differences and children’s tolerance tendencies. The method of the study is the relational screening method of quantitative research methods and the study group consists of 54 staff and 40 children in children’s homes. In this study, “Barnett Liking of Children Scale”‚ “Multicultural Personality Questionnaire” and “Tendency to Tolerance Teacher Form” will be applied and the data obtained will be analyzed via Pearson Moments Correlation Analysis and Multiple Regression Analysis. As a result, multicultural personality of staff that enables them to love children and be sensitive to their differences is expected to have a positive impact over the tendencies for tolerance. The findings of the study will be discussed in the light of the relevant literature. In this research about such important values as tolerance, respect to differences and loving children, preferences of Children’s Homes as study group especially increase the originality of this study. In this context, a contribution to the related field, a source for researchers and guide for future studies are expected from the study.

It is noted that their language and communication skills can be effectively developed in one-to-one conversations; however, the continuing competence development of the teacher also plays an important role. The author of this proposal participated in the Anadolu University, Division of Education for Hearing-Impaired Students in the 2008-2009 academic year as a new teacher educator. However, the relevant literature emphasizes that new teacher educators need support from experienced colleagues for their professional development in areas such as communication with student teachers, the monitoring of student teacher activities, the collection of information during monitoring, and the provision of feedback. The literature also emphasizes that new teacher educators must pass through a development and training processes as well. One of these processes can be called as coach model. Based on these thoughts, a development and training process in which an experienced TE would do coaching to the author was planned. This study aimed to examine the competence development process of a teacher in the field of the hearing impaired. The study was designed as an action research. A teacher (the presenter) and an experienced teacher educator (coach) participated in the study. The study was conducted in Anadolu University, Research and Education Center for Hearing Impaired Children (ICEM) in Eskisehir, Turkey. The data collection techniques included reflective researcher diary, documents, interviews, teacher competencies evaluation forms, audio and video tape recordings. Data will be analyzed by using content and video type analysis. The findings are expected to show the importance and one of the ways of the teacher competence development process for skillful teachers. At the end in the light of the research findings, recommendations for applications and research topics will be made.

As the source of authentic materials which fosters communicative competence, all kind of literary texts have become an indispensable tool for teachers in all learning settings. Content and language are the two fundamental factors of learning that every teacher seeks for to reach their learners from a cognitively challenging perspective. This current study deals with one of the most practical literary text that can be used in all teaching settings, stories. Stories can be used in language classrooms as a teaching tool as learners of all ages learn better with stories. Stories facilitate not only language and content but also culture and cognition. Apart from being enjoyful materials to be used in language classrooms, stories are important for many pedagogic reasons. The current study has two major aims: The first aim is to give a theoretical background about the importance of using stories in teaching four basic skills and the second aim is to introduce a sample story with teaching strategies.

On the other hand, technology developments bring new information, technical instruments and in this regard it always forces workers to learning and self-development. As it is clearly indicated here, all of them require in- service training. Especially, it is possible that teachers who are the basic players of education to be informed all of developments in the education area by what is happening in-services training. In this perspective, the Ministry of National Educational (MoNE) always organizes the in-service training activities for the teachers who work in the public schools. These in-service training activities aim to help for the developments of teachers’ knowledge, skills and increase their productivity as well as to ensure scientific and technological developments and to prepare the top tasks. MoNE determines the courses that will be organized to take the views from the central organization and provincial as well as overseas agencies. In this process, the MoNE tries to be in cooperation with the other ministries, universities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), official and private institutions. The aim of this study is to review the in-service training activities that have been arranged by the MoNE in the last 15-year (between 2001 and 2015) period. This study used the content analysis and in-service training activities arranged by the MoNE. The results of the study were categorized under three the subtitles of field, professional knowledge and general culture. The activities were taken according to the years and encoded under above stated categorizes, and calculated percentage and frequencies. Two starting points were detected: One of the themes was the teacher requirement which was in the teacher education literature. The second was technological developments related to digital education. In this study, it was observed that approximately one thousand in-service training activates were arranged by the MoNE every year. The courses of measurement and evaluation, teaching and learning, as well as guidance were provided.

These can be found in various forms such as; the supervision of the school board, national examinations, mentoring/tutoring assistance, and induction programs. In the case of Turkey, there is a mandatory national induction program for newly qualified teachers. This induction program is aimed at new teachers who are regarded as “probationary” or “candidate” teachers because they have recently completed initial training and gained the relevant qualification but do not have a license to teach yet and therefore they need to be formally assessed at the end of the program. In addition, this program entails the new teacher, in collaboration with a mentoring teacher, to work towards meeting the induction standards, a prerequisite for being appointed as a teacher working in a state school. The present study explores the framework of the induction program in Turkey and the duties of the probationary teacher and his/her mentor teacher according to the central mandatory program designed by the Ministry of National Education. The study is twofold: The first section aims to highlight the standards and criteria, defined by the Turkish Ministry of National Education. Here, an overview of the probationary teacher’s and mentor’s training goals and assessment criteria as stated in the documents provided and designed by the Ministry of National Education are provided. The second section attempts to address the weaknesses of the probationary teacher faces during the first year of teaching. A survey was administered to a total of 28 participants who had graduated from the English Language Teaching Department at Uludag University in the academic year of 2013 and in order to cross-check the results of the survey, an interview was conducted with a total of 9 of these participants. The findings of the survey displayed that the induction program in Turkey is an opportunity for the probationary teacher’s acclimation of new professional practices relating to both teaching and to administrative work. However, the assessment factor of the program seems to constitute insecurities for the probationary teacher and this inhibits this opportunity to be fully realized. The interviews revealed the mutual difficulties that the probationary teachers faced. Here, the most frequently recurring answers displayed that the probationary teachers were still lacking the knowledge and skills relating to other professional duties such as discipline, clerical, administrative and bureaucratic tasks.

However, an investigation of the literature reveals that the concept of learner autonomy in young learners lacks the same popularity. Therefore, as an attempt to address this gap, the present research attempts to investigate from various perspectives how teachers within the context of the classroom can be influential in developing the learner autonomy of young learners. Classroom settings are critical components in the fostering of autonomy because they provide the setting for the teacher and the learner to relate to one another and thus develop their relationship which can either promote or impede the autonomy of the learner. Classroom contexts are environments providing various opportunities for the teacher to assist the learner in the fostering of autonomy. Therefore, in order to affirm the premise on which the present study is based on, a review of the literature relating to how children can benefit from autonomy supportive teachers in the classroom are investigated. The present study aims to explore three different influences, taking place within the structuring of an autonomy supportive classroom environment for young learners: The first influence is based on the teacher’s motivational style. The second influence relates to classroom events in terms of affordances; the influence of autonomy dependent of the teacher’s offering of choice of activities. And finally, external events such as conducting alternative assessment are covered. Throughout the study, the potential value of autonomy supportive teachers is underlined and examples of pedagogical research relevant to the consideration of the varying extents to which it is plausible for the teacher to develop young learner autonomy are provided. This study is a review article based on the identification of how the teacher can be influential during instruction and attempts to provide practical examples from various perspectives which can guide and form a basis for teachers who want to foster the autonomy of young learners within their own classroom environment.

It is common knowledge that bullying refers to the systematic and repeatable attacks of students towards other students who may be inferior in physical strength, younger in age, and weaker than their attackers. Olweus was the first to report on this issue and plenty of studies have investigated the issue abroad and in Greece. However, despite the multitude of studies, little is known about the role of school administrators and their perceptions of school violence incidents. The purpose of this study was to investigate how middle school (gymnasium) principals reacted to the reported bullying incidents occurring in their schools. Accordingly, twelve principals and vice-principals from various middle schools of the Achaia prefecture participated in the study. They responded to nine hypothetical scenarios, three per category of verbal, physical, and emotional violence. They were asked to indicate the seriousness of each incident, the strategies for tackling the problem described in the scenario and the goals they thought their strategies would achieve in the process. Results suggested that principals and vice- principals rated the emotional violence scenarios as the most difficult to deal with, whereas the scenarios of physical and verbal bullying were deemed to be easier ones. Principals also selected a variety of strategies for each bullying scenario, with dialogue with the perpetrator and communication with the parents being two of the most popular strategies. Additional strategies included cooperation with school psychologists and school counselors. Moreover, empowerment teamwork programs could also be adopted in serious cases, according to the respondents. The reasons for the aforementioned choices of strategies were; empathy, discipline and need to call for help. These results suggested that administrators did understand the severity of the problem, but also had the ability to be flexible in their choice of handling the situation. Hopefully, the application of such strategies and the support of the entire school community may help alleviate the problem of bullying.
