Demiralp, Demet; Gunduzalp, Seda
Purpose This study aims to determine the effectiveness of a targeted professional development program in enhancing two critical competencies for higher education academics in the digital age: e-learning readiness and digital fluency.Design/methodology/approach This study used a pretest-posttest control group model within a quasi-experimental framework with 46 academics. The experimental group (n = 23) participated in a six-week training program, whereas the control group (n = 23) received no intervention. Data were collected using validated scales for e-learning readiness and digital fluency.Findings Findings demonstrated that the experimental group experienced considerable gains in both e-learning readiness and digital fluency scores. In contrast, no significant changes were observed in the control group, providing strong evidence of the program's effectiveness.Originality/value Unlike most descriptive studies in the field, this study provides quasi-experimental evidence of program effectiveness regarding professional development interventions. It offers an empirically validated model from a T & uuml;rkiye higher education context, providing valuable insights for university administrators and policymakers internationally who are facing similar challenges.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Predicting middle school students' academic achievement in mathematics with aAnew hybrid approach
Dogan, Gurkan; Demiralp, Demet
The academic achievement of middle school students is one of the critical steps in their educational journey that affects their future academic and career prospects. During this transition period, students are faced with a variety of challenges related to their families, schools, and the individual themselves. Research shows that academic performance during these formative years is critical for future educational success and overall life success. Therefore, addressing students' academic achievement, which depends on various factors during this period, is of particular importance for both institutional and individual planning and orientation in the future. In this study, a new hybrid approach based on artificial neural networks that enables automatic analysis of data on family, school, and individual factors affecting middle school students' academic achievement in mathematics is proposed. A publicly available student performance dataset was used for training and testing the proposed hybrid approach and other models. This dataset consists of data such as mathematics grades, family information, residential information, and health status information for 395 students enrolled in two public schools in the Alentejo region of Portugal. The proposed approach achieved an R2 score of 88.6% in experimental studies with this data set, providing approximately 3% higher accuracy than its closest competitor among other methods in the literature.

Purpose: The research has been designed to determine the level of critical listening proficiency of the teacher candidates. It aims at finding answers to the following questions: (1) What is the level of critical listening proficiency of teacher candidates? (2) Do the teacher candidates’ levels of critical listening proficiency indicate a significant difference in terms of gender, department, or university exam score variables? Research Methods: In this research, the relational screening model, one of the general screening models, has been utilised. Through this model, the pre-service. teachers’ levels of critical listening proficiency are determined, and these levels are described separately in terms of several variables (such as gender, department, university entrance exam score type). An easily accessible sampling model has been used in sample selection. The sample of the study consists of 672 teacher candidates studying as senior students in their own. The research data were obtained by using the Critical Listening Proficiency Scale, prepared by the researchers. Findings: The findings indicated that the teacher candidates generally have a high level of critical listening proficiency. The teacher candidates in the departments of Turkish and Arts Teaching demonstrated much higher levels of critical listening proficiency in terms of ‘attention-preparation’ proficiency than the others. Furthermore, the teacher candidates with the verbal score type displayed higher levels of critical listening proficiency. Implications for Research and Practice: In the light of the results of this paper, the following recommendations can be given; the students studying in the departments focusing on mathematical skills should include more studies designed to improve critical listening proficiency in their undergraduate education. In pre-service trainings, many strategies and techniques should be included to improve the teacher candidates’ proficiency for “Attention-Preparation” in critical listening. Considering the year the pre-service teachers are studying in, their critical listening abilities can be determined and the contributions of undergraduate education in this respect can be studied

Araştırmanın amacı, öğretmen adaylarının etkili yaşam boyu öğrenme düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından karşılaştırılarak belirlenmesidir. Araştırmada, genel tarama modellerinden karşılaştırma türü ilişkisel tarama modelinden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evreni, 2013-2014 eğitim-öğretim yılı bahar yarıyılında Türkiye'nin her coğrafi bölgesinden bir devlet üniversitesinin eğitim fakültelerinin birinci ve dördüncü sınıflarında öğrenim gören öğretmen adaylarından oluşmaktadır. Araştırma örneklemi, çok aşamalı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenerek, 2159 öğretmen adayından oluşmuştur. Veri toplama aracı olarak Etkili Yaşam Boyu Öğrenme Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde betimsel istatistikler, Mann Whitney U ve Kruskall Wallis H testleri kullanılmıştır. Grup ortalamaları arasındaki farkın etki büyüklüğü de incelenmiştir. Araştırmada, öğretmen adaylarının etkili yaşam boyu öğrenmeye yüksek düzeyde sahip oldukları, kadın öğretmen adaylarının etkili yaşam boyu öğrenme düzeylerinin erkek öğretmen adaylarınınkine göre daha yüksek olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Bununla birlikte öğretmen yetiştirme programına sadece bir dönem dahil olmuş öğretmen adayları ile programı tamamlamak üzere olanlar arasında etkili yaşam boyu öğrenme düzeyleri açısından bir farklılık olmadığı da ortaya çıkmıştır
