Yeşiltepe, Akgün; Çal, Ayşe
Teachers assume important responsibilities in improving the health literacy levels of the society. Health literacy and vaccination are important prerequisites for health protection and promotion. This study aimed to investigate the effect of teachers’ health literacy levels on their vaccine hesitancy. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The health literacy and vaccine hesitancy levels of the teachers were found to be moderate. A negative and weak significant relationship was observed between health literacy and vaccine hesitancy, indicating that as health literacy increases, vaccine hesitancy may decrease. In addition, it was revealed that general health perception and over-the-counter drug use are associated with health literacy, and age, income status, and place of residence are associated with vaccine hesitancy. The health literacy and vaccine hesitancy levels of teachers should be improved. As health literacy increases, vaccine hesitancy decreases, which is an important finding in terms of increasing the effectiveness of vaccination programs.

Karakaya, Yunus Emre; Bingölbali, Abdullah; Şahin, Aykut
Study aim: In this study, the cultural capital competencies of physical education and sports teachers were investigated using the mixed method (quantitative and qualitative) research design. Material and methods: The participants of the quantitative method were 248 physical education and sports teachers working in educational institutions in Turkey, and 24 volunteers from this group were randomly selected for the qualitative phase. The analysis of the data was performed using SPSS 22.0 and QSR NVIVO-10 software. The Cultural Capital Scale was utilized to collect the quantitative data, while the qualitative data was obtained through two semi-structured open-ended questions. Results: The findings of the study revealed no significant differences in the variables of gender, education level and the type of location where the teacher grew up. A positive and high level of correlation was found between the Cultural Capital Scale and the subscale Intellectual Accumulation. The Intellectual Accumulation subscale was found to explain 87% of the variance of the Cultural Capital Scale (R2 = 0.872). Conclusions: Creating educational environments where intellectual accumulation, participation, cultural awareness, and cultural potential dimensions are considered at every stage of education is suggested to enrich the cultural capital accumulations of physical education and sports teachers.

Sener, Gonul
In this research, it was aimed to determine the level of teachers' proactive personality traits predicting the problem-solving skills consisting of the sub-dimensions of confidence in problem-solving ability, personal control and approach-avoidance. The relational screening model was used in this research which was prepared in accordance with the quantitative research paradigm. Accordingly, the concept of proactive personality was discussed as an independent variable, and problem solving skills were discussed as dependent variables. It is seen that there is a positive and significant relationship between teachers' proactive personality traits and problem solving skills and confidence in problem-solving ability, approach-avoidance and personal control, which are the sub-dimensions of problem solving. Based on the ANOVA values are examined for all three sub-dimensions, it could be said that the value p is significant, in other words, the regression model is valid. According to the t-test results regarding the significance of the regression coefficients, it is seen that proactive personality traits are a significant predictor on the sub-dimensions of confidence in problem solving ability, approach-avoidance and personal control. Furthermore, according to Durbin-Watson values for all sub-dimensions, the assumption that there is no relationship between error terms is confirmed.
